That was a true ROFL moment
The fact that he set off a #hugwatch by doing it right before the trade deadline was just a chef’s kiss.

Thee Art of the Deal. Turning 1st round picks into 3rd round picks.

Should be some nice DL options for our next two picks.
As for the OL, that’s not panning out very well.

Yes, but it cost us our 3rd. So that pick went from 72 to 62, and we added a 4th. Plus lost a 7th.

Taking a RB in the top 10 = Big Risk
Taking a RB in the top 10 AND giving up other assets = Please No

I only hope Ryan Poles makes a 7th round pick who starts 93 consecutive games at Left Tackle, makes a Pro Bowl, and turns into Leno Claus during the holidays.

Inter-sport trash talking! Next thing you know the 49ers will be calling out the Red Wings, and the Chicago Sky will be throwing down windmill dunks on the Orioles.

Nice to see the Bears taking care of a local guy who outplayed his contract.

That’s not terrible, but it’s also hardly the stuff of supposedly generational talents.
Admittedly, the article was written before Ben Johnson drafted Jahmyr Gibbs and before Saquon Barkley won a ring. But still, there’s a lot of whiffs on highly drafted RBs.

Josh Sunderbruch had a great article in 2023 on running backs drafted in the first round. Since 2011, 6 backs have drawn comparisons to Adrian Peterson. Those six guys combined for 3 First Team All-Pro selections and 11 Pro Bowl selections.

I really hope that #10 pick turns into a dominant pass rusher or a rock on either line.
The Ashton Jeanty to the Bears buzz concerns me. Not that he isn’t good, but that is a risky use of resources.

Go Bulls.

A salary cap might actually be good for the players if it was coupled with: (1) a salary floor, (2) better revenue-sharing split, and (3) a shorter time before being eligible for free agency.
Somehow, I don’t think the owners are going to offer any of those.
comment in response to

Saying the owners are weighing a salary cap is like saying a weekend duffer is weighing whether to join the PGA Tour. Sure, he’d love to, except it isn’t up to him.

And when negotiations take place behind closed doors, the only people who really know what’s happening are the ones in the room. The only way “evidence” gets out is if one side leaks it—usually to further their own bargaining position.

It’s better than the old rule, but why not just replace all kickoffs with something like a 4th and 20 from the kicking team’s own 30?
Usually that will be a returnable punt. For onside attempts, a single offensive play would be more exciting than a kicker trying to execute a crazy bounce.

It is wild. But it’s a symptom of the broken system that traps younger players (especially pre-arb) players in below-market contracts.
Bryant was absurdly underpaid in ‘16 and ‘17. And the Cubs screwed him on his service time. Glad to see one of the all-time Cubs get his 💰

For a business that sells billions of dollars of licensed merchandise, two major MLB clothing fiascos in as many years is really embarrassing.

#1: Patrick Mannelly, LS (6th rd, 2002): The Bears all-time leader in games played. The 🐐 of long-snappers.

A signature play in a signature career, and yet one more reason why Peanut belongs in Canton.

#2: Bryan Fletcher, TE (6th rd, 2002): Never played for the Bears, but went on to have a respectable career with the Colts. So why is he on the list? Because in the 2nd quarter of Super Bowl XLI, he was 🥜🥊 by Charles Tillman, who both forced and recovered the fumble.

Louis also had one career reception. The four WRs the Bears drafted with comp picks have a combined total of two career receptions. (Dazz Newsome, Juaquin Iglesias, Derek Kinder & Marcus Monk).

#3: Lance Louis, OL (7th rd, 2009): Played 41 of his 61 career games across 3 seasons with the Bears at RG and RT. His Chicago time ended when he tore his ACL after taking a blind-side hit.

#5: Michael Hicks, RB (7th rd, 1996): 106 career rushing yards.
#4: Brock Forsey, RB (6th rd, 2003): 281 career total yards, 2 TDs. Only Bears comp pick to find the end zone.
