New Bears lakefront stadium could come with hotel, sports museum — and $1B campus revamp The Bears’ drive for a downtown domed stadium could include a new sports museum, a pedestrian bridge to Northerly Island and a lakefront hotel — along with a public infrastructure price tag of at least $1 billi...

I wonder if Poles was aware of the counter offer prior to making the trade. Technically until the trade happened Allen was a Chargers player so would he have been able to have any conversations with Allen's agent? Not with the Chargers giving permission which they likely did before the trade occurr...

No mention of Fields which could harm the grade. Still pretty irrelevant. Re-signed JJ for less than the tag Acquired Gerald Everett Acquired Keenan Allen Signed Byard for half of what EJax would have cost. Don’t really care about the grade but Poles team have had an outstanding FA in my opinion, r...

Allen turned down a pay cut. He turned down a multi-year extension with the Chargers; it is thought that this is because he didn't like the salary level he would had under it. So it is possible that he would accept an extension but is looking for more than the Bears will be willing to pay.

Some web sites are ranking Nabers as the top WR. I doubt, however, that too many teams are going off draft analyst rankings. Yes, the Chargers need young DL to replace old expensive ones. They need WRs to replace Allen and Williams. They supposedly are looking at one of the top OT to play RT. And th...

Pardon me if this was already posted and I missed it. I was exactly down on Williams when he skipped USC' Holiday Bowl game in '23. It has become the norm for guys expecting to go highly in the draft to sit out bowl games. Williams, though, recently said that he sat out so the backup QB from USC cou...

Bears trivia. If you get this correct, you are, by far, the best Bears fan of all time: What was the only year when the Bears took a QB with their 1st round pick and a WR with the 2nd (although it was pick 54): ========================================================================================...

Note: Past results are not an indicator of future success (as seen by last year's contest) First pick: Choice 1: Drake Maye Choice 2: Caleb Williams Choice 3: Jayden Daniels Second pick: Choice 1: Jackson Powers-Johnson Choice 2: Jared Verse Choice 3: Darius Robinson Third pick: Choice 1: Kiran Ame...

Williams fumbled way too much (like Fields). I think both were from the QBs playing 'hero' ball, playing in offenses which weren't clicking a lot, the QB held the ball looking for something to develop. Waldron is implementing an offense with shorter drop backs and getting rid of the ball quicker. Al...

AH's new plan calls for the Bears to pay $6.3M in tax year 2023, $3.6M in 2024, and 3 to 10% increases based on market conditions for the following 3 years. The Bears have asked for tax certainty for 5 years and this may satisfy this condition. Unrelated to this story but the dealings of the Chiefs ...

Another link, the Trib wants you to be a subscriber to read their article: https://sports.yahoo.com/arlington-heights-proposes-tax-cut-134728444.html This is what the Bears have been looking for. AH has completed a long bomb downfield and is getting ready to punch it in as the political infighting i...

If Alt, Nabers, or Odunze is available, grab him. Otherwise look for a trade which will hopefully provide a 2nd or at least another high 3rd and still give them a shot at shot at Verse, Latu, Jackson-Powers in the 1st, another WR in the 2nd/3rd.

He doesn't quite meet Poles' standards for a DE, being 6'1" and 240 lbs; Poles likes them bigger. But he's fast, has 58 career sacks, and Poles is supposedly enamored with Dallas Turner for those qualities to balance out Sweat as a power rusher. Send Philly back the 4th from moving down one pic...

Maybe why Bears fans haven't loved their QBs; ones drafted in the 1st round by the team: Sid Luckman, 1936 (and still, pathetically, the "standard" for a Bears QB almost 100 years later) Johnny Lujack (retired after only 4 season) Bob Williams, 2nd pick in 1951, played only in '51, '52, a...

Allen is already discussing the E-word: extension, he seems amenable to one.

As much as I prefer we sit a rookie QB, that isn’t how Poles has constructed the QB room. So the moment our new QB is drafted, I’d have the playbook in his hands as he walks off the dtaft stage and give him every damn rep possible between then and the start of the season. Maybe we can learn from th...

The Vikes signed Darnold, who has pretty much performed at a mediocre level his career. But maybe McConnell thinks he can draft a couple of blue chippers to give him more targets (taking a page from the Bears?) and resurrect his career, a Geno Smith act in Minny. Plus Minnesota signed a couple of DL...

Arrested? No. Thrown teammates under the bus? No. Thrown coaches under the bus? No. Skipped practice? No. Beat up his girlfriend? No. Punch someone outside a bar? No. Get in any kind of trouble, ever? No. Cry after a loss (that knocked them out of conference title hopes and playoffs)? What a punk a...

Read this a.m. that there were 2 offers for Fields before the Pitt deal, one a bit stronger. But Poles thought the Pitt situation would be the best for Justin long term. After looking at all the teams trading for QBs over the offseason, I'd have to agree, guys were going to be backups with little ch...

Yes, I traveled into the future by 25 years and talked to him. You would not believe what football is like in 2049. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYWE5cnhvaGUzMno4eDhweW5tczNtemVrMWxnb3RxOXZkb2pydGc3OSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/aDcvK946SC3GwCqLk8/giphy.gif Tell us o...

This whole board is devolving into tribal arguing around Williams & Fields and it's starting to get nasty. It's been a stressful time for all Bears fans. No doubt. But let's take a step back and remember that this is just football, and none of our opinions are going to make a hill of beans diff...

Every man woman and child on twitter tripping over themselves to post "My deep and very legit NFL sources are telling me there's interest from the Steelers regarding Justin Fields." Just an absolute stampede, old people being trampled to death, real feral shit. Interesting that the guy th...

Atlanta is being investigated for contact with Kirk Cousins before the allowed "tampering" period of free agency March 10. To make it worse, Cousins reached out to Darnell Mooney during a unapproved time. The Falcons could be penalized a draft pick (s) if the league finds the charges true ...

To see now if Williams is going to start as a rookie or it's Bagent. There isn't squat out there anymore at the position, Poles waited too long to dump Justin for less than a bag of magic beans. The market spoke. Do you really think he didnt try to get more? Of course he did. We'll never know how a...

A. Poles totally misplayed this and got screwed in the trade by waiting too long B. Poles totally played this the right way and really got the most he could realistically could C. Poles could have continued to pour gas on this fire by waiting to trade Fields, even keeping him into the '24 games Othe...
