Alan Williams gets a ‘Peanut Punch’ on the door
The defensive coordinator resigned from the Chicago out of the blue after an alleged FBI raid that took place in his house. Things got interesting when the former Bears’ CB Charles Tillman informed the Bears stakeholders, Matt Eberflus, Ryan Poles, and President Kevin Warren about the raid. Matt Eberflus was sad about it, and the news spread like wildfire.
After Charles ‘Peanut’ Tillman’s information, Williams’ house was raided by the FBI under the suspicion of extremely sensitive content. It’s getting serious for Williams as he might not be able to return to the NFL ever again. Exact reasons behind the alleged raid remain a mystery.
He gave his respectful resignation to the Bears because of ‘health-related reasons’. At the end of the letter, he hinted that he might return to coaching again, but the surety of it remains a question.
