Speculation Grows Over Potential Kyle Shanahan Trade to Bears

Amid the 49ers' struggles, some analysts suggest a trade could pair Shanahan with rookie QB Caleb Williams in Chicago.

Kyle Shanahan praised Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, calling him 'as talented as there is' and noting his recent improvement in consistency and performance.
The San Francisco 49ers are experiencing a disappointing 5-7 season, with key injuries contributing to their struggles and raising questions about Shanahan's future with the team.
NFL analyst Mike Florio has proposed the idea of a trade sending Shanahan to the Chicago Bears, likening it to the 2002 Jon Gruden trade and suggesting it could benefit both parties.
Florio speculated that pairing Shanahan with Caleb Williams could unlock the coach's full potential, though insiders and analysts consider such a trade unlikely and costly for the Bears.
The Bears, who recently fired head coach Matt Eberflus, are exploring options for their next coach, with several offensive coordinators and other candidates reportedly in consideration.
