Can Philly afford him? And why Indy? That team is a dumpster fire.

Still lost Milton Williams and Josh Sweat though and they supposedly have Bryce Huff on the trade block, probably to make room for Hendrickson.

All of it, but they added void years to spread it and limit the damage of 88k hitting our cap this year.

Not really “free agency”, but… fake account?

Caleb was a positive factor in free agency. From the Sun Times:
“The most important person in free-agent recruiting isn’t a general manager, coach or teammate but, rather, whichever former president is pictured on a player’s legal tender of choice. In the NFL, money talks.
Quarterbacks, though, are part of the appeal. Stars draw players when the money is similar. Those with potential give incoming players reason to dream.
Put the Bears’ Caleb Williams in the latter category. Despite an uneven rookie season, Williams’ potential was enough to help sway Lions assistant Ben Johnson to Chicago to become the team’s coach. Free agents signed by the Bears this week were intrigued by Williams, too.
“We all know that there’s a lot of growth that has to happen to get him to where he needs to be,” general manager Ryan Poles said Thursday. “But that excitement in terms of what he can be obviously helps get other coaches and players excited to be here and work with him. And help get him to where he needs to be.”
Guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson didn’t have much of a say in the matter — they were traded to the Bears. But defensive linemen Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo, center Drew Dalman and tight end Durham Smythe all chose the Bears — and Williams — over other teams.
So did wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, who had 45 catches for 506 yards for the Commanders last year. The Bears agreed to a one-year deal with the 5-8 slot receiver, a source confirmed Thursday night. The 27-year-old will join his fourth team in as many years after spending his first four in Atlanta.
“You can’t win in this league without a great quarterback,” said Odeyingbo, whose Colts started seven quarterbacks in his four years there. “To see his potential — obviously, a Heisman [Trophy] winner — and what I believe is a trajectory for him, I mean, I wanted to be a part of it.
“I believe that he’s going to be a championship quarterback in this league, and I want to be a part of that journey.”
