Re: 2024 NFL Free Agency chatter, there will be punch and pie

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 ...

Re: Bears working out OT Fuaga

Fuaga has played both OT spots and is very similar to Wright. If they were to take him, I would imagine they kick Wright over to LT and send Braxton to the bench. I would not be in favor of this, but I'm not in charge. Why do you think that? Not being argumentative, just curious. And if they're usi...

Re: 2024 NFL Free Agency chatter, there will be punch and pie

I'm kind of fine with not having secured a splashy player at WR2 or DE2. We've got to replace Justin Jones' production but some of that will hopefully come from a draft pick and some from continued growth from Dexter (plus maybe Pickens). Jones had 22 pressures from 739 snaps whereas Dexter had 17 ...

Re: 2024 NFL Free Agency chatter, there will be punch and pie

A somewhat related aside...

How weird would it be if the Bears had Montez Sweat, then traded for Josh Sweat, and then drafted T'Vondre Sweat.

And one of the Sweats is the brother of one of the other Sweats but neither are related to the third Sweat.

The Fields for Sweat thing was borne from combining these two tweets...

People that expected Poles to sign the top FA at every position of need were always going to be disappointed. Totally. Not only that, but I don't get all the negativity from folks.

Take a step back, remove the emotion, and see the moves Poles is making. Yes, no moves is a move, like how 0 is still a number. We have multiple holes on the team. WR2 WR3 C - Most likely DE2 / DT We cannot fill them all with the current resources. We cannot have a WR room of DJ Moore, but then Sco...

Re: Top Remaining Players

I've always liked Armstead as a heavy end, but IMO he's a weird fit as a DT in the Bears system. I know he gets compared to Buckner because of his size, but Buckner has always been more powerful.

I haven't seen it in here but maybe it's elsewhere. Bears are supposed to have DJ Wonnum in for a visit today. He would be a really nice fit here at DE. Has a couple of 8 sack seasons in the last three years. I'd love to see him added as the DE opposite Sweat. I hope they don't let him leave town w...

The only real head scratcher signing is Pryor. That one I don't get. If you look at Poles history, he's not going to overpay for positions of need in FA.
