So it all got kicked off with this Tweet thread, of which the main point of concern for people was that the QB Justin Fields, who has been getting lambasted for his awful performance the first two games of the season appeared to be calling out his coaches

Justin Fields acknowledged he has been playing too robotic, then bit the pin off the grenade and rolled it into the building with his explanation for why he believes it is that way: "Coaching."

The B plot to this arc was about the Bears Defensive Coordinator who missed the last game for "personal reasons" and the Bears coach was very cagey about what was up with him
https://twitter.com/danwiederer/status/1704532865931735494
The Alan Williams situation continues to get more mysterious with Matt Eberflus declining to give an update or clarity on any part of it, including whether Williams is still employed as the DC.

Then, a rumor breaks that the Bears' HQ was raided by the FBI in connection with....
https://twitter.com/jonzsports/status/1704567498874499562?s=46&t=rZBrFboyDXhGUvdiwxGxBQ
BREAKING: According to sources familiar with the situation, both Halas Hall and Alan Williamss home have been raided in connection with an undisclosed incident. Alan Williamss home was raided Sunday night, after the teams Week 1 loss. Halas Hall was raided THIS MORNING.

... some very bad stuff, a rumor that may solely originate from this reddit post (say the line, bart)
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/16nr3fd/wiederer_the_alan_williams_situation_continues_to/k1g5jxd/
nobody will believe me. but i have a source that said the fbi is investigating him for child pornography.

Meanwhile, Justin Fields, who on a normal day would be dominating the news cycle, had to walk back his comments, although he dodged a massive bullet cause at this point no one cares but still
https://twitter.com/Schrock_And_Awe/status/1704578282568507392?t=c7XsJUu-pwC6GZjpcGwGYg&s=19

Now this part of the rumor spreads like wildfire, and the Bears DC announced his resignation with a pretty bog-standard letter taling about health and family, not really making any mention of the looming shit storm
https://twitter.com/AlbertBreer/status/1704595578611544397/photo/1

And now there seems to be conflicting info on the reason of the resignation if it has anything to do with this FBI raid that may or may not have happened https://twitter.com/DMRussini/status/1704591120766816519
The league is not involved in the Allan Williams situation, per sources. Im told it was his decision to resign. This has repeatedly been categorized as a personal situation and was handled internally by the Chicago Bears.

https://twitter.com/markgrotesports/status/1704589982348832941?t=Mzy9FSvs0ftGIqLhdpe0sg&s=19
A #Bears spokes person told us that Halas Hall was not raided today despite reports it had been.

I heard about the Williams resignation but don't know what to make of it outside of "something" happened, since coordinators don't typically resign after two games in a season. They've been fired that quickly but voluntary resignation is not normal, so it raises a few questions..

Combine it with the fact the the FBI raided his house and have obtained a warrant to search his office at the Bears facility, it leads me to believe this is more than just the "I need to step away to focus on my family and my health" reasoning he gave in his statement.

why would fbi even raid in the first place? I mean, even if people suspect rigging a football game, does that really need the fbi?

I'm inclined to agree.

I was just stating that the resignation itself is highly unusual, which prompts all sorts of speculation.

The FBI stuff egfectiel confirms that there's something illicit being investigated with him.

I believe you've been misinformed Aaron Rodgers owns the team.

Before I even finished reading that post my first thought was "The only reason there would be multiple raids is in a child pornography case" and then as I read on I was like "Yep, knew it"

He passed it on to Jordan Love, when he turned over the Packers to the kid, I believe.

Not bad PR but still hilarity: the Bears buried their release of their backup QB Nathan Peterman in all of the shit yesterday...only to announce they are re-signing him today https://twitter.com/tompelissero/status/1704823628381012047?s=46&t=xToQPyM6leUmkUqEfAh4Mw
