After the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, a report indicated players were moving on the team went to head coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles to lobby for Waldron’s ouster.
Wide receiver DJ Moore had a chance to address the change during a press conference on Wednesday and offered another perspective on what happened leading up to the move. Moore did not deny that there have been discussions about the state of affairs, but does not believe anyone specifically asked the Bears to cut ties with Waldron.
“That was shockingMoore said. ‘I don’t think anyone really asked for him to leave. We have expressed our frustration, but never that anyone’s livelihood would be taken away.”
The same report shows there are also grumblings about first overall pick Caleb Williams remaining the starting quarterback. Moore said he has full support for Williams, who he said is “going out there, busting his ass and trying to learn everything” to improve. Signs of a speedy improvement would be a plus for everyone involved in Chicago.
