"BEARS NATION,
Wow, what a Journey It's been. Seven seasons in Chicago - It's hard to belleve how quickly time flies. To each and every one of you in the Bears family, thank you.
Your passion, your loyalty, It's what makes this city special.
I owe a debt of gratitude to the Bears organization, the coaches, and my teammates. You've been more than just colleagues; you've been my family, pushing me to be my best every single day. To the fans, you've been the heartbeat of Soldier Fleld, and It's been an absolute privilege to
play for you.
To the McCaskey family, thank you for giving me the chance to wear the orange and navy blue. Running out onto Soldier Field as the Team Captain of the Bears will forever be etched In my memory.
As I turn the page on this chapter, I take with me the spirit of Chicago. A part of me will always remain In the Windy City.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING."
