NFC North Lull: Caleb Williams’ Pope Jersey, Lions CB Waivers, Packers Depth Worries, ESPN Roster Rankings, and Bears Stadium Talk — The hosts of *Who Will Be King* discuss the NFC North offseason lull while waiting for training camp to begin. They start with Caleb Williams sending the Pope a signed Bears jersey that may hint at Chicago’s leaked “Rivalries” uniform.
They cover the Lions’ Terrion Arnold clearing waivers amid an upcoming court date and possible NFL discipline, then pivot to Brandon Aiyuk’s situation and the process of getting reinstated from the left-team list. For Green Bay, they break down Matt LaFleur’s comments about roster depth, Josh Jacobs’ arrest and domestic situation, Tucker Kraft potentially starting camp on PUP after a major knee injury, and questions surrounding Jordan Love’s next step.
The panel reacts to ESPN’s latest roster rankings (Rams No. 1, Packers 17th, Vikings 22nd) and closes with updates on the Bears stadium site studies in Hammond, Indiana, and Arlington Heights keeping a Bears billboard up for another year.
