The Bears do not have a Rome Odunze problem. Not even close.
They might not love his dad’s tweets, but at every turn in his young career, Odunze has been near perfect when it comes to being a team player, coachable and a positive factor as the organization tries to establish a strong culture.
There wouldn’t have been even the slightest whisper of anything contrary had his father, James Odunze, not spent quite a bit of time raising concerns on X.
After Rome had no catches on three targets in the Bears’ 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday, James twice reposted a comment suggesting they should trade his son “to a team that will actually throw to him, as well as one saying coach Ben Johnson should “get his boy more layups” in the passing game.
