Hardman's another small receiver (5'10, 187lb), which is interesting.

Hardman's 40 time coming out of college was 4.33, Rondale Moore's was 4.32.

It definitely looks like Poles and Johnson are kicking the tyres on smaller receivers with speed.

Hardman's not done much since 2021 though and Moore ...

Please tell me you mean Rondale and not DJ!

Anyone else notice there is absolutely no parking in that picture?


Fans will commute by train and drone delivery. ;)


Or they can do what James Bond and Her Majesty the Queen did at the London Olympics. :)

Sanford and Son and All in the Family were remakes of iconic British comedy shows Steptoe and Son and Till Death Us Do Part.


Really? Never heard that before, those shows seemed very american to me. They were before my time but I used to watch reruns as a kid


I don't know if they adapted ...

The words "wide open" are said rather frequently in that highlights video. Hopefully that's a testament to sneaky route running.

That and TV shows like Sanford and Son, Chico and the Man, All in the Family. Some of us grew up in the Golden Age of television which we will not see the likes of again in our lifetimes. Thank God for YouTube reruns.

It's official:

He has a very good catch percentage.


Most of his catches are behind the line of scrimmage.

Electric as hell when healthy - but not a WR who runs the full tree. More of a gadget guy and returner.


Yeah, his yards per catch is really low, just 8.9 ypc for his career.

He's a bit of a Tarik ...

It's official.

That ain't working (for the Bears).


Nice Dire Straights pull.


Dire Straits Whiskey, Dire Straits. What the Bears have been in for much of the past 40 years.

Mark Knopfler is a bona fide musical genius. I bet he enjoyed seeing Newcastle United finally win a major trophy yesterday after 70 ...

I'm glad Poles agreed a 4-year extension with Jaylon Johnson last year!



Johnson's $19m a year now makes him only the 13th highest paid CB and 15th highest paid DB.

Hopefully Stingley and Horns' contracts don't inflate Kyler Gordon's.

He has 1 solo tackle and 4 assists in his career. I'm not sure tackling the guy who just recovered your muffed punt or kickoff or your own fumble is really very helpful to a team though...

A bump for this offseason...



Bagent appears from the 7:30 mark.

I guess he's got to keep from getting bored during the offseason somehow!

It's official. Larry Borom to the Dolphins along with James Daniels, former Steeler.


I weep for my local squad

I still see DE as the bigger need. They basically only have Sweat and Dayo in the mold of what Allen wants. You have a good 3 man rotation with Jarrett, Dexter, and Billings at DT.


Flus used to line Dexter up at DE on occasion. I wonder if Allen will continue to do the same?

Ultimately Poles ...

We don't have one? Well OK then. Carry on......

I agree, probably an error, just wishful thinking on my part.

No need to apologise especially as you posted it first! I hadn't seen your post prior to making mine.

Didn't think this needed a separate thread, but unsure where to post it. Seems a logical place.

I thought the Bears traded away this years' 4th round pick.

There is an interesting article on SportsMockery.com questioning if we have a 4th rounder.

It makes you wonder what Teven Jenkins will get...

According to the NFL's own website, the Bears have a R4 pick (#114) from the Panthers: https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-order-for-all-seven-rounds

Every other site says that pick is the Panthers from the Cowboys.
