Chicago Bears veteran vents explicit message about 2024 players

Per Chris Emma with 670 The Score, Walker, who played for the Titans under Vrabel, gave an answer as to what the former three-time Super Bowl-winning linebacker for the New England Patriots could give the Bears if Chicago was to hire him as Eberflus’ replacement.

Walker took issue with the undisciplined nature of the Bears and said Vrabel would clean it up.

“A lot of (expletive) is going to be cut out,” Walker said. “I’m sorry, but that’s true. Disciplined will be laid right down from the first day. A lot of those small things that we were doing and got away with, that won’t happen. Just from my personal experience.”

Should the Bears go with an experienced head coach?

Walker’s answer is as much a shot at the locker room as it is to Poles. Poles continuously praised Eberflus for the culture he helped build in Chicago. Players knew that wasn’t the case.

It’s worth noting that Vrabel is a candidate who is expected to want his own general manager brought in for any job he accepts.

It’s also worth reflecting on Walker’s suggestion at head coach. Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is a sexy name for the fanbase, but veteran players are hinting the team needs a culture change.

Wide receiver Keenan Allen said he only wants to return to Chicago in 2025 if they hire the right coach, and he wants one with experience.
