    I, too, have resigned from watching the Bears this season to focus on my health and family.

    There’s a lot of rumors and unconfirmed reports that this is about more than just “health and family”.

    All I’m gonna say is that we’ve seen coaches have to step down for their health, and it’s never looked like this. Usually the team is incredibly open and supportive, while the Bears seem to be trying to get Williams as out of sight and mind as soon as possible.

    I don’t know the reasoning, but somehow I doubt we’ll be seeing any #ALANSTRONG banners at Soldier Field.

      I saw that Ian Rapoport said the FBI raids weren’t true and their lawyer said they definitely didn’t have any legal issues going on. But I agree, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. It may not be FBI raid bad but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something.

        Rapoport (at least on Twitter) only said the supposed raid on Halas Hall did not take place. He did not refute the report of a raid on Williams’ house. And as far as things stand now, no one has explicitly refuted the claim of a raid of Williams’ home. Even his lawyer’s statement specifically said, “There’s been no raid on Halas Hall.”

        It seems like everyone is tiptoeing around the supposed raid of his home, as PFT noted in their story an hour ago about where things stand. We still have no confirmation of a raid on his house, but everyone is very carefully only refuting the half of the raid story that relates to Halas Hall.

        There are people aaying the Hallas Hall raid is untrue, however there are reports like apparently Pat Mcafees informant saying that the house raid was real.

        Tagged on with things like the report recently saying 0 players were informed of the situation makes it sound suspicious.
