Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized
The internet has broken me. I have hit the point where I avoid most fans and fan discussions, this board being the rare and occasional exception, because it's just not worth the hit to my sanity. https://www.learning-mind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/foolday-300x253.jpg On the other hand, I've bee...

Re: Loosest of speculation: Bears may push to sign RB Saquon Barkley
The problem with drafting running backs - and I think you should draft them - is that they are generally TERRIBLE pass blockers at first. The Bears RBs were absolutely awful at it last year. If you are putting Williams back there, or even sticking with Justin, you have to get a back that can pick u...

I said that letting Monty go over 6 mill a year was a mistake and was beat up pretty bad for it… I understood the need for a back with more speed..but Monty is special when it comes to extra yards…that’s not even taking into account his leadership. Huge mistake … If I recall correctly, the Bears of...

Bates, if has to end up as center, is already an upgrade, but I expect a real deal guy will come in FA. I don't.

Re: Bears trade 5th rd pick to Bills for OL Ryan Bates
I don't hate it.
obviously Poles has liked this guy for multiple years, last year he was mostly the Bills backup C, but he's also played both G spots.

Re: Some Free Agent ideas, your thoughts?
DE makes sense to me also. I lean Hunter because I think his age gives you a mini discount but at 30 we can assume high level of play for 3 years (and set the deal up with a reasonable out in Y4). He’s the right size and plays the run, not just a head hunter out there. I don’t think Burns or Jones ...

Re: Some Free Agent ideas, your thoughts?
Yeah, I was gonna say, I thought Hicks was a good flyer to take on the 2022 draft, but he's not shown anything to make me think he's starting-caliber. In fairness -- we don't have the same access as coaches do, in terms of meetings, prep, practices, etc. I expect to see an inexpensive veteran Safet...

Re: Some Free Agent ideas, your thoughts?
I'm sure Poles will try to sign a number of cheap, stopgap solutions before the draft, so that he's less forced in a particular draft direction. That's standard. But that's what most of those fillings will be. After draft class set aside and Jaylon, there will be about 30M to work with. You're not ...

Re: Roster Moves: Bears release Eddie Jackson, Cody Whitehair

I think that's it. 3 guys that have been here 4 years (and probably only 2 stay) Year 3 of Poles-Flus, and ...

"Right" and "Reasonable" become hard to quantify in a competitive market. Looking at the WR market right now -- Christian Kirk signed a 4 year, $72,000,000 contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including a $20,000,000 signing bonus, and one would have to think that's well bene...

Re: Build around Caleb scenarios
I love Barkley the player. I also hope Poles doesn't pay the money it'll take to sign him. Higgens is a questionmark, I think he'll break the bank wherever he signs and reset the market for the position just by virtue of how rare a WR as good as he is, as young as he is, hits the market. I might be...

Not to get too off topic, but Barkley says he wants to go somewhere to win a championship. There's only a handful of those teams...the Chiefs represent his best chance. Maybe the Eagles in the NFC. Problem is that those teams don't have a ton of cap room heading into 2024. Agreed -- But they probab...
