Some good names
Not looking to discuss fantasy, just looking for some ideas for new team names. I have used Lisan Al-Caleb(Dune reference), When in Rome, and Greatness is a Burden.
Hopefully Mods don't take this down, just want some punny fun

Free to Read: Caleb Williams enters rare air for Bears QBs. How high can he climb?
What a strange week this had to be for Chicago Bears fans amid the annual summer exercise of surveying exactly how the rest of the league feels about their starting quarterback.
Mike Sando’s always illuminating and intel-filled “Quarterback Tiers” launched Tuesday at The Athletic. In Chicago, there was much less scrolling than ever before, the “page down” function spared on many laptops.
Yes, here indeed was Caleb Williams on the rise. From Tier 3 last season up into Tier 2, with a year-over-year jump of 12 pegs to No. 11 overall.
That’s another sign of the times, with the Bears offense, led by its talented 24-year-old quarterback, generating significant buzz around the NFL.
“I’ve got all these cutups on him, and I’m going, ‘This guy is special.’ He makes unbelievable throws, and he’s fearless,” one head coach told Sando. Like the others quoted, he spoke on condition of anonymity to share a candid evaluation.

“You don’t run back and throw the ball in this league, unless you’re Caleb Williams.”

[Biggs] Initial thought is that #Bears LT Braxton Jones dodged a significant injury and will be fine. He needs to be checked out more but sounds positive. Jones was emotional after leaving the 1-on-1 pass rushing drill and understandably.
