Re: 2024 NFL Free Agency chatter, there will be punch and pie
Went looking for the comet tonight. Went from Aldebaran to the Pleides to Jupiter to Hamal but 12P is still too faint for my 10x50 binocs. Maybe I'll break down and buy some astronomical binocs.

Re: IOL thoughts
4 guards making $20+M. 10 guards making $15M - $$19M +. Maybe time to pull a Bellichick and trade him high if they can't sign him for a "reasonable" amount. His injury history may hurt his trade value.

Re: "The NFL QB Who Didn't Give A ****"
As the OP said, a dversion during a slow period. Cutler's an object lesson in one with seemingly all the talent but whiplashed by coaching changes and an incredibly bad decision maker on the field.

Harbaugh is crazy. I'm half surprised they didn't trade Herbert - the fit with him and Roman seems odd to me. Harbaugh is like Parcells/Darth Vader in that he wants "his guys", and it's his personnel moves that will ultimately do him in IMO. He likes his "try hard guys" who will...

The Bears could draft both a C and a G and it would be beneficial. Zak Zinter, G, Michigan, suffered a season-ending injury late in the year and probably will be available in the 4th or possibly 5th rounds; he could be a target if the Bears get more picks. Sit him for a red-shirt year. Unless the Be...

Re: Plan that gets MHJ to #9
I don't know if the Bears could get to #4 or even #5 by offering 1-9, their 3rd rounder, and a 2025 2nd. One of those teams is going to ask Minny for both if its 1st rounders plus change.

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen

Technically until the trade happened Allen was a Chargers player so would he have been able to have any conversations with Allen's agent?

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen
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.

Re: Plan that gets MHJ to #9
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...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
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...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
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.
