Link to every tight end drafted in the first round since 2000.

Not exactly an abysmal hit rate, at least a few notables in the list.

GO8, in your new sig, they forgot to say when Poles was born.

(But maybe they want us to subtract 3 from 1988 which is something I can still do.)

Therefore I doubt it’s Maye, Daniels, Penix

It has to be someone with an ego the size of a planet and the self belief to go with it.

So it must be Caleb

Thanks a bunch for this, Yogi.

This is a heartbreaker for some of us but trust in Poles, I say. He will get Bears back to primacy in the fastest way.

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread

ANd to keep as many options open as long as is reasonable, Poles needs to thoroughly vet at least several other QB candidates. Flexibility to trade down will be enhanced with several paths to follow, and due diligence on the various players will pay big dividends.

Re: Justin Fields Megathread - A story of Lovers and Haters

Here are the three realistic possibilities for Fields' going forward: 1. The Vikings/Patriots Draft Scenario. In this situation, the Vikings trade picks 11+23+R12025 to the Patriots for pick 3. The Patriots then trade picks 11+34+180 to the Bears for 9 and Justin Fields. I think there is a chance t...

As the dust has settled, I see it coming to 2 options. A trade to Philly for Josh Sweat or keeping Fields to pair with CW until a QB1 goes down on another team. Pretty much our options at this point. Don't see any others out there. Why give him away? With the way Poles is building out this roster n...

I'm still a little confused about trading a 4th round pick for a soon-to-be 32 year old WR who is due $23.1M this season. There has to be some sort of catch I would think, unless we figured burning the cap space in 2024 to acquire a talented vet like him was worth it. More and more I think we draft...
