I get the sense that there is something ELSE the Bears want from Arlington Heights. As has been previously pointed out, a million here, a million there in taxes are single-digit percentage points in the larger scheme. Certainly not worth killing the deal over. I think there is another key point - s...

Added JC Latham to the list. Man, I wonder why no Byron Murphy II....I'm really feeling like a trade back to around #12 and then a selection of the best 3T in the class would be the best call here. I wonder if they're genuinely not interested or if possibly they are trying to conceal their interest...

-NT MCKINNLEY JACKSON: Really fizzled out for his senior year, but if the kid was going through stuff it can be forgiven. Rough childhood. But has the ability to play if he sets his mind to it -WR Jerrod “Bub” Means: Ideal size, just a lazy route runner. Played some LB and has return and ST experien...

I had some company show up for the eclipse last minute and had to feed them, so I threw a couple racks of spare ribs on the smoker at 300 for 1.5 hours before turning it down to 190 for 25-30 minutes to try and get some more smoke on them. Internal temp was ~172 when I pulled them off and because th...

From today’s Daily Herald. Like a BOSS … ‘ But Rowe believes the organizational shift in focus from the suburbs back to the city has to do with the change in leadership of team president — from Ted Phillips, who inked the initial deal to buy Arlington Park before retiring, to Warren, who for months...

What needs to be understood is that DJ Moore has been through QB hell in his career. He's obviously an extremely talented WR and he's had to overcome a lot. He didn't have anybody at Carolina to really get him the ball. So then he comes here and he's got JF1 and they clicked. For the first time in ...

That Dylan Laube is one of my favorite value guys in the draft.
Fast, runs good routes from slot or backfield, can catch anything, isn't afraid to lower his shoulder at times, changes direction pretty well.

If Nabers falls to 9, it's a no brainer.
Otherwise, I'm hoping the Eagles will give me 22, 50 ,53 for 9 and 122

according to Walter football, here's who we've met with so far: Joe Alt, Offensive Tackle, Notre Dame (COM) Brock Bowers, Tight End, Georgia (COM) Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, LSU (COM) Olumuyiwa Fashanu, Offensive Tackle, Penn State (COM) Drake Maye, Quarterback, North Carolina (COM) J.J. McCarthy,...

Welp now we can play Varsity ball instead of JV.
Great guy, bad QB.
Reality is just reality in talent and value.

Hopefully he's just a stupid camp body because the guy blows wild goats. For all the ability to get open, no ability to catch consistently.

If healthy ---> 100% elite

Maybe the truthers are right and Fields won't be traded... maybe he hasn't been made available and the Bears are in fact going to trade down. Giving Fields two seasons worth of chances after having the #1 pick in back-to-back years would be BOLD. One season I get - they were never taking a QB last ...

Wasn't familiar with Rondale Moore so I looked up his stats: 5'7" 180 lbs averaged 400 yds/season for three years. The Bears need bigger receivers so Moore probably was not on Poles' radar. That and there is already somebody else on the team catching passes named Moore. What's abolutely crazy ...

Based on what we've done so far, where we need to shore up the roster and positional value at the pick, I give you: Chicago Bears 1 Caleb Williams QB | USC 22 Jackson Powers-Johnson IOL | Oregon (Mitchell and Worthy were available, but liked the value of Powers Johnson better and hoped some 2nd tier...

Chuffin hell - overpay alert For one of the top edge rushers in the league? Hardly. 2 years is surprising though. He'll turn 30 during the season. You'd think he'd want at least another year and if he does keep performing at a high level you'd think the Texans would like to have him under contract ...

Using the "available" list on Spotrac, and going off vague memories while drinking my morning coffee, these guys are Still on my radar: WR: Sterling Sheppard, Jamison Crowder, Quez Watkins, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Isaiah McKenzie, and possibly Ridley, though there would always be concerns o...

After several weeks of back and forth, Finally got an MRI middle of last week. (severe damage to L5-S1 joint and moderate degeneration and damage to 6-7 other disk joints among other fun and exciting things)   After several dead ends with doctors who automatically refer to physical therapy or pain m...

For all his supposed ability, he completely underwhelms me most of the time.

Nabers

Bagent needs a ton of film study and needs to throw against a teams #1 defense all off season to learn the angles and understand what throws he's being suckered into throwing.

But he's capable of running an offense.

I simply see this as Poles knowing the positions he’s targeting with his early picks and knowing that he couldn’t get as quality of an IOL as Bates in the 5th based on his own draft projections. If that's the logic, then Poles should trade every day 3 draft pick for more sure thing players then, ri...

And even if they don’t get the guy they want in the draft, they can still get starters in FA after the dr...

There's not a lot of QB's that he's worked with out there that you'd bring in as a backup. John Woolford doesn't inspire much confidence. Sean Mannion and Blake Bortles have retired. Case Keenun is like 38. I suppose Drew Lock might be the best option if they are looking for someone with familiarit...

I grew up with it being illegal for an offensive player to physically assist the ball carrier in any way other than blocking opponents who are not engaged in tackling the ball carrier. I find the tush push the abhorrent result of allowing offensive linemen/blockers to "move the piles" from...

Dallas Turner coming in shorter and heavier than most people expected at 6'2 257. I think most people expected him to be 6'4 240ish. Laiatu Latu coming in at 6'5 259 and running an unofficial 4.6 forty is wild. If it weren't for his medicals, dude would be a top 5 pick easy. I'm feeling pretty temp...

Oh and @Moriarty If you really believe that potential is where the valuation should be set, I challenge you to contact the IRS and tell them that you could potentially work an extra 5-8 hours a week than what you currently do and wish to be taxed on that total earning potential rather than what you...

I'm no expert on real estate/valuation/taxation, but this is how I look at it. The Bears had no intention of ever keeping or using the racetrack facilities there. They were paying 197M for the land/location. The racetrack facilities had ZERO value to them. (A slight negative value, actually, since ...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with expressing concerns. I don't understand the folks who take people saying "this concerns me" as a hard stance against a player. There have only been a handful of players that have come along where I'm like "nope...no way in hell...too many glaring...
