Bears MUST Call Steelers About Alex Highsmith To Solve Pass Rush | Micah Parson Angers Packers Fans
About this episode
Haize discusses the Bears' pass rush concerns and potential trade for Alex Highsmith, along with reactions to Micah Parsons' comments about Caleb Williams and updates on player injuries.
The Chicago Bears may have one of the most exciting teams in the NFL, but there is still one major concern that refuses to go away: the pass rush. After finishing near the bottom of the league in sacks last season, should Ryan Poles pick up the phone and call the Pittsburgh Steelers about a potential Alex Highsmith trade? Haize breaks down why the $68 million edge rusher could be the perfect running mate for Montez Sweat, what the Bears should be willing to give up, and why Chicago cannot simply bank on internal development alone. Plus, did Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons really call Caleb Williams the No. 1 player in the NFL? Haize reacts to Parsons shouting out “The Iceman,” the attempted backpedal afterward, and why Bears fans should absolutely have fun with a Packers star giving Caleb his flowers. Later, Ben Johnson’s comments about Kyler Gordon raise a real conversation about trust, availability, and what Gordon must prove to the Bears coaching staff after another injury-limited stretch. Haize also discusses why the Bears are encouraged by Braxton Jones heading into 2026 and whether he can lock down the starting left tackle job. Chicago Bears Central brings you Bears…
