Strange rumors arose in the wake of a resignation announcement from Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator, Alan Williams. Social media spectulators stirred up drama in the form of an FBI raid at the team's practice facility, Halas Hall. However, the Bears and Williams' attorney have both refuted these claims, putting to rest the false reports swirling across social media, according to CBS News.

Williams stated in his resignation that his decision to step down was strictly related to health and family issues and not due to any alleged FBI involvement. His attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, echoed these sentiments, insisting that Williams had not been involved in any criminal proceedings or activity, and that there had been no raid at Halas Hall or Williams' residence, furthers CBS News. Stroth even went as far as to assert that the rumors were "100% untrue," and that the false claims made on social media were offensive, as reported by NBC News.

In his statement, Williams expressed his gratitude towards the Chicago Bears, highlighting their rich history and the opportunity given to him by the McCaskey family, Coach Matt Eberflus, and General Manager Ryan Poles. More importantly, he states his intention to return to coaching after addressing his health, family, and personal issues, mentions CBS News.

Interestingly, the Bears' vice president of communications, Brandon Faber, also weighed in, confirming that there had been no raid and reiterating that the rumors were baseless. Despite the sudden resignation and subsequent drama, the Bears' coaching staff remained unfazed, with head coach Matt Eberflus stating that the experience of the defensive staff would prevent any issues from arising during Williams' absence.
