Nashville, TN — In what is sending shockwaves across the NFL landscape, Tennessee Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan has openly identified Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams as a “100% target” for the franchise moving forward. This bold declaration has ignited speculation about a potential blockbuster trade or future pursuit that could redefine the quarterback scene in the AFC South.
🔥 Brian Callahan’s Statement
Speaking to media insiders following Titans minicamp, Callahan didn’t mince words:
“Caleb Williams is a generational talent. If there’s even a 1% chance to get him — it’s a 100% focus from me. We’re building something special here, and I want the best of the best under center. Period.”
The coach, who’s heading into his second year with Tennessee, has already been aggressive in developing his offensive identity, with rookie QB Cam Ward leading the way. But Callahan made it clear that he’s always going to pursue elite talent when it’s available.
🗣 Caleb Williams Responds
Shortly after the reports hit social media, Caleb Williams broke his silence from Chicago training camp, issuing a calm but powerful response:
“I’m not here chasing checks. Money’s good — we all know that. But I want to be outstanding. I want to be great. Wherever I play, I’m going to give it everything I’ve got. Championships. Legacy. That’s all I’m thinking about.”
Williams, drafted No. 1 overall by the Bears in 2024, has been under heavy pressure to deliver in Chicago but remains committed to excellence no matter where his career path leads.
💰 Not Playing for Money
Williams emphasized that legacy matters more than paychecks — a rare stance in today’s high-dollar NFL climate. His rookie contract with Chicago is already one of the biggest in Bears history, but his comments make it clear: if an opportunity presents itself to build greatness elsewhere, he’ll consider it purely based on football reasons.
⚙️ Titans Quarterback Picture
Right now, the Titans’ quarterback room features:
-
Cam Ward — No. 1 pick in 2025, viewed as the future.
-
Will Levis — Talented but inconsistent.
-
Brandon Allen & Tim Boyle — Veterans for depth.
Adding Caleb Williams would immediately create one of the most competitive QB rooms in NFL history, and Callahan’s desire to “stack greatness” suggests the Titans are aiming to win now, not just rebuild.

Draft picks
-
Defensive stars
