Whitehair has signed a 1-year contract for just $2.5m in Las Vegas. Quite a comedown for an 8 year starter who was set to have a cap hit of $13.25m if the Bears had kept him. Yeah, I mentioned wherever else this popped up that I'm kinda surprised he didn't just retire, whether he's got 1-2 more yrs...

Rice just has so many limitations in his game. I am hoping Caleb is letting people know that I'd be interested to know how honestly players discuss ex-teammates. Especially if they were friendly. Do they actually separate business from personal? I'm guessing not and that they usually just talk up t...

I floated the idea of trading down with Buffalo a while back, but everyone seemed to think that it would be a mistake dropping back that far. I'm not sure if my comfort level goes past Turner/Verse/Latu. I posted a mock where the Bears drop into the 20s for Chop Robinson, which I find believable. B...

And speaking of Kansas State linemen .... Cody Whitehair just signed with the Raiders today. Wow With the money he's made, how bad he was last year, and how little he's liable to get for 2025, I figured him for a strong retirement candidate. Veteran C/G Cody Whitehair has signed with the Raiders (G...

Yeah, I think Allen is a one-year rental. Trade a 4th, get a solid year out of him and let him walk for a higher comp pick. I concur that Allen is a one-off. He won't be worth more than a 5th round comp pick, though, because he's a ten-year veteran and that's where those max out. Players who have t...

What's the record for T's taken in the first round? I'm thinking that there could be 5-7 taken this year. To answer my own question...it was 7 OT's in the first round of the 2008 draft. I think there is a good chance to tie that record this year. That's a hard thing to say, because are you counting...

Following up on Frazier: he's basically a lighter, slightly more explosive Steve Avila . We know the Bears loved Avila last year, so it's not wild to assume they like Frazier this year. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2023/2/16/23603133/chicago-bears-nfl-draft-2023-doing-plenty-of-work-tcu-steve-...

And here's the post-Combine, post-Pro Day one.

Minor notes:

Tyler Nubin shit the bed at his pro day
Zach Frazier's was seriously underwhelming

If I was the McCaskey's I would turn it into a giant ugly fully automated distribution hub. Or a garbage sorting facility. AH could refuse to zone it for garbage. And they probably wouldn't cry over the distribution hub. That would generate tax revenue without straining local resource (police, fire...

I prefer to believe that the chances of this are extremely remote

Jared Verse now confirmed for a visit. So basically, the Bears have had all 4 of the top DEs (Turner, Verse, Latu, Robinson,) all 3 of the top WRs (MHJ, Nabers, Odunze,) 3 top Centers (JPJ, Barton, Frazier) and a few others in for the 30 visits. Again, not a single DT prospect. Seems odd. Smokescre...

It’s easy to scoff at a few million loss when the deal could yield so much more. But that is poor person thinking 101 The rich don’t stay rich by giving away a million dollars here or there freely. Especially not to some greedy bureaucrats But the time they spend investigating and negotiating isn't...

Moriarty

I think the first 8 have to include: 4 QBs Harrison, Nabers Alt It depends on needs and trades, but 8th seems most likely to be Turner or Odunze If Turner is gone, take Odunze or wait until later in a deep WR group? If Odunze is gone, take Turner or wait go later? I think if Turner is there, they p...

I got Orton and then was out

Moriarty

You may be right. I'm scratching my head wondering why the Bears are making such a big deal out of short-term issues. Once they get that area developed with stadium, shops, etc, the valuation is going to change dramatically, anyway. Why waste time battling over penny-ante stuff? They are the curren...

Moriarty

He sure did. Very impressive stuff, and to Moriarty's point his decline was strange to see. He's not that old, but he fell off a damn cliff a season and a half ago. I think he played hurt a lot more than we maybe realized... I do think he's never been right since the knee injury last year. But even...

Moriarty

That was weird how he came in on fire and then just regressed, regressed, regressed.

Without checking, I think some of it has to do with quality around him, though.

Moriarty

I keep hearing a lot of people say that Byron Murphy II is highly underrated in the media draft community (compared to NFL people) and despite the lack of length could be a real possibility at 9 for the Beloved. Has some of that Tommie Harris relentlessness. Just hope he doesn't have the knees of a...

Moriarty

I feel like finding an elite 3T is almost as hard as finding an elite QB. There's no Aaron Donald type prospect in this class (at least according to the experts), so chasing that seems foolish to me. Absolutely. What I don't want is them getting impatient, throwing a R2-4 at a 3T just because "...

Moriarty

I agree about the DE spot. I’m all for bringing Ngakoue back. He clearly isn’t “the guy” who makes it happen but his numbers once Sweat arrived were decent. I’m not paying him $15M but surely that won’t be his market after last year. Not to mention that next year is supposed to be a BANNER draft fo...

Moriarty

Experience-wise these guys are pretty similar to Lucas Patrick before he was signed by the Bears for a similar amount. We're all relieved to see others being brought in to replace him and Whitehair, but any assumption that this means an automatic upgrade is misplaced in my opinion. Until we see the...

Moriarty

I think everyone is done with Borom but where are people on JT Carter? Is a he a worthwhile project or a target for replacement? I think he's definitely on thin ice. He's not beyond hope yet, but he finally got some snaps last year and wasn't that good. Maybe he needs 1 more year and some more work...

Moriarty

The Bears wouldn't lose that much more revenue if they went with AH and the taxes the school districts want. I figure Warren's playing high stakes poker. Save and excepting a downtown plan is developed showing significant revenues flowing to the Bears, I don't see how they can walk away from AH. De...

Moriarty

if being a bears fan has taught me one thing, it's that there's going to be a great player waiting for us at pick #9, and we're going to take Shea McClellin. Good news! I'm pretty sure it's impossible to literally redraft Shea McClellin*. They can only metaphorically draft the equivalent. * Althoug...

I still remember where I was and what I was doing when he was found not guilty. I was on a bus between buildings on the Anheuser Busch Tour in St Louis. When it was announced we all seemed to shrug our heads in disbelief. I remember well where I was, too. The only faculty lounge with a TV at the sc...
