Shane Waldron, former Seattle OC, is closing in on a deal to become the new OC in Chicago.  Waldron spent the last three seasons in Seattle, making Geno Smith into a relevant QB in 2022.  In 2023, Seattle’s offense finished in the middle of the league for points and passing yards per game, back-half of the league in yards per game, and in the bottom 5 in rushing yards per game.

Although there was rumor of USC’s Kliff Kingsbury getting the potential job, it now looks like it’s now Shane Waldron’s job.  Waldron has worked with QBs like Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Russel Wilson, Geno Smith, and now perhaps Caleb Williams.

In 2023, Seattle drafted the first WR off the board with Jaxon Smith-Njigba at pick 20. Fantasy Managers should keep an eye on if  Waldron will ask the Bears to get the first WR off the board again in 2024, or if they will draft their “Franchise QB.”
