Perception seems that he is washed, but PFF rates him highly* - gvibes March 9, 2025, 16:02:39 Browns extend Myles Garrett. $40M per until 2030 - AintHatin March 9, 2025, 10:59:27 “Highest paid non-QB” keeps getting more expensive, Bengals. - voiceofreason March 9, 2025, 14:09:07 Paying Tee Higgins instead of Hendrickson when you have Chase is mind boggling* - HamptonSki March 9, 2025, 14:10:53 What’s really mind boggling is them refusing to structure contracts in a modern way so they can - voiceofreason March 9, 2025, 14:17:30 I still can't believe we are paying freaking Montez Sweat 25M a year* - gvibes March 9, 2025, 13:55:29 Myles Garrett re-ups in Cleveland for $40M AAV* - VIV March 9, 2025, 10:58:50 Ronnie Stanley re-ups with the Ravens. 3/$60/$44. A thin FA class gets thinner. - VIV March 9, 2025, 9:33:36 Xavier Worthy arrested for felony DV. Chiefs sure like their receivers to have an edge* - HamptonSki March 8, 2025, 13:58:37 Won’t be charged. * - VIV March 9, 2025, 14:13:38 Geno Smith to LV Raiders * - MC March 7, 2025, 18:06:01 Going to get a new deal for 40-45 a year? He's 34, I don't know* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 21:17:33 Putting the Pete Carroll band back together. Wouldn’t surprise me if they sign Lockett. * - VIV March 8, 2025, 14:11:04 Seattle is going to target Sam Darnold * - MC March 7, 2025, 18:07:05 They’re working to have a garbage-ass offense* - AintHatin March 7, 2025, 21:52:30 This Bears social media video is weirdly Khalil Mack heavy - gvibes March 7, 2025, 15:15:01 Sign him and draft another edge. I want them taking BPA @ 10.* - Warrin'_Illini March 7, 2025, 15:17:48 Yeah I like DE (or Jeanty I guess) at 10 and OL/RB/DT in 2/3* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 15:25:07 Ive kind of convinced myself that if Jeanty is there we are going to take him* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 7, 2025, 15:27:25 I don’t think he’s gonna be there which sets up Spackler’s worst nightmare - OB25 March 7, 2025, 22:59:14 May be a trade down option if LV passes and someone wants to move ahead of Dallas* - gvibes March 9, 2025, 13:56:14 Back for like 5 days and being trolled! ;) - Carl Spackler March 8, 2025, 9:40:20 Harold Landry released by the Titans. Doesn't really seem like a Dennis Allen type, but - gvibes March 7, 2025, 14:11:35 Washington releasing Jonathan Allen* - VIV March 7, 2025, 10:58:15 Hmmm... I believe they have a ton of draft capital and cap room... - uofi1998 March 7, 2025, 11:38:58 Per PFF, last two years were rough* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 11:43:37 Washington holding rival's wife's hand - Sammich March 7, 2025, 11:14:26 Whoa * - MC March 7, 2025, 11:02:40 I am weirdly upset about letting Sanborn walk* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 10:53:51 I was surprised too, he's serviceable and a gritty white guy. DEI losing everywhere.* - Warrin'_Illini March 7, 2025, 11:14:53 Head to any fb fan page - digs March 7, 2025, 11:11:28 they could still bring him back. i really don't get not even giving him a tender offer, though. * - VIV March 7, 2025, 10:56:51 By PFF (I know I know) he's better than our starters* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 11:00:28 he's got miles better instincts than edmunds* - VIV March 7, 2025, 11:11:23 I’m in like a Ryan Poles hate spiral right now. Forgot that Poles wanted to trade a 3rd for Judon. - Carl Spackler March 7, 2025, 11:22:38 I feel the same way. I really can't look at any Poles decision objectively* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 11:29:58 THIS MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SAYING THE LEAST HE’D ACCEPT FOR VELUS WAS A 4TH - Carl Spackler March 7, 2025, 11:38:50 The more I think about it, the more I'm liking the trades. - VIV March 7, 2025, 9:57:42 I don’t mind the Thuney trade at all. Durable, All-Pro last year, good contract. - Carl Spackler March 7, 2025, 10:18:57 I think the "Couldn’t get on the field over 2 rookies last year." is getting overblown. He was hurt* - VIV March 7, 2025, 10:22:12 He came off IR in early November and then they traded him in the offseason. - Carl Spackler March 7, 2025, 10:47:55 correct. biggs called it a major red flag.* - Ari Gold March 9, 2025, 16:10:30 He got hurt and missed most of training camp g camp and never quite caught up - bjl63 March 7, 2025, 10:37:50 I just generally worry about deals with GMs that are plainly much better than Poles. Need more - gvibes March 7, 2025, 10:30:30 Agree, and I feel a lot better knowing Benjo was involved. If this was just Poles, I'd be wary.* - Warrin'_Illini March 7, 2025, 10:06:13 Honestly Tevin seems like a deal at 10 per, compared to Fries* - gvibes March 7, 2025, 10:05:21 The Patriots also have unlimited cap space and are supposedly heavily focused on fixing the OL. - OB25 March 7, 2025, 10:01:27 you could also be the Browns. Myles Garrett requested a meeting with owner Jimmy Haslam. - VIV March 7, 2025, 10:03:47 The McCaskeys are a million times better than Haslem* - bjl63 March 7, 2025, 10:39:02 Myles sitting in the locker room like Helly R - Sammich March 7, 2025, 10:27:14 I have a friend who worked for him building Pilots. - uofi1998 March 7, 2025, 10:21:45 Josh Blackwell extended, 6/2. Is he that good of a special teamer? - gvibes March 6, 2025, 15:41:15 That’s a bit more than I expected. - VIV March 6, 2025, 19:22:16 Briefly heard this discussed on the radio - AintHatin March 6, 2025, 17:31:59 Trey Hendrickson jas been granted permission to seek a trade - bjl63 March 6, 2025, 14:36:19 not into buying high like this - Sammich March 6, 2025, 14:57:10 I tend to agree with this sentiment* - bjl63 March 6, 2025, 15:04:40 *sigh* Just the worst front office/ownership family ever. The incompetence is mind numbing.* - voiceofreason March 6, 2025, 14:49:27 Yeah man, that's incomprehensible.* - uofi1998 March 6, 2025, 16:10:53 I don’t think you’re gonna get much agreement/sympathy in a Bears thread lol - CanHartlebHireSnider March 6, 2025, 15:02:52 Only because they’ve been lucky to suck the most in years game changing QBs came out. - voiceofreason March 6, 2025, 16:00:35 Live shot of Ryan Poles and his picks - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 14:44:17 I can definitely see him feeling like one of the 2nd rounders is expendable. - OB25 March 6, 2025, 15:06:14 *perks up* 2nd rounder you say? - voiceofreason March 6, 2025, 16:04:32 I’m curious his relationship with Allen. Because like Baun he succeeded elsewhere* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 6, 2025, 14:38:36 100% should be interested, just not sure about the cost. Only 1 year left on deal though.* - OB25 March 6, 2025, 14:37:54 1 year left on his deal, sounds perfect for the Bears :) * - shua March 6, 2025, 14:38:47 Durham Smythe rumors. Hopefully at vet minimum* - gvibes March 5, 2025, 21:49:36 Cromulent blocking TE. Experience with Benjo. would be a good addition.* - VIV March 5, 2025, 22:10:59 Chargers release Joey Bosa* - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 21:05:33 I'm guessing he ends up in SF* - MC March 5, 2025, 22:19:59 The last San Diego Charger apparently * - BradUnderwoodforprez March 5, 2025, 22:17:50 Do they maybe bring Mack back then?* - gvibes March 5, 2025, 22:15:15 Very injury prone, but I’d be interested for the right price. * - VIV March 5, 2025, 21:33:37 If he signs here maybe he could live in one of his grandfather’s houses * - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 21:41:24 I don't know, he's pretty well-known and could get mobbed over there* - AintHatin March 6, 2025, 10:04:45 Also, catching up, but add me to the “The Bears are gonna take Shemar Stewart” group I see below. - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 17:30:20 I LOLd at this Tyler Booker quote - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 15:09:51 Maxx Crosby Maxx Contract - assassin March 5, 2025, 12:57:06 I initially processed this as Mason Crosby and was like WTF?* - MojoJojo March 5, 2025, 15:02:28 Zack Baun got paid too. What a year for that guy - CanHartlebHireSnider March 5, 2025, 13:56:06 There are always a couple teams where I truly can’t figure out if the salary cap exists or not - OB25 March 5, 2025, 14:09:04 Hurts' 25 cap hit is a little over $21million, his 27 is $42 million and their DL is really good - illini222 March 5, 2025, 17:02:23 Ryan Poles draft pick trail of tears update - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 12:39:53 The chiefs got a 6th round comp pick for Pringle. Why would that cost us a 3rd? - VIV March 5, 2025, 21:31:22 I believe due to this provision in comp picks - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 21:42:09 Ok, but where are you getting that he cost us a 3rd?* - VIV March 5, 2025, 21:46:51 Bunch of Twitter folks said they thought it’d be a 3rd, 4th at worst. - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 6:12:15 I'm looking at the comp charts and that math doesn't work on the Pringle signing. - VIV March 6, 2025, 9:42:17 As for my approach, I am against signing low impact guys for >$3MM. - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 9:53:56 also, Gesicki signed before Everett. - VIV March 6, 2025, 10:45:39 your cheap wait-it-out options would have been Ekeler, D'Onta Foreman, CEH, and JK Dobbins - VIV March 6, 2025, 10:18:01 Or Herbert. Or a draft pick instead of taking a punter. - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 12:25:26 i love draft picks as much as the next guy - VIV March 6, 2025, 13:32:19 Well the next guy is me, so you do not! ;)* - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 13:42:24 and your cheap wait-it-out options are still canceling out your comp pick for mooney* - VIV March 6, 2025, 10:47:56 About half of the options you listed would not.* - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 12:19:48 I mean if it’s Pringle or Pringle + Muhammad, it’s still a terrible trade off. - Carl Spackler March 6, 2025, 9:48:24 you're getting to my larger point. it seems like your ideal franchise isn't signing any free agents - VIV March 6, 2025, 10:07:01 I have zero problem trading a 6th round pick for Jackson - bjl63 March 6, 2025, 12:25:46 Part of the problem is I don’t think they viewed themselves as a rebuilding team the last 2 years - OB25 March 5, 2025, 13:51:43 "Has no idea he built a bad team" is just another criticism, not a defense* - gvibes March 5, 2025, 21:46:44 Agreed. I def don’t think they think of themselves this way this year - CanHartlebHireSnider March 5, 2025, 13:57:09 you can make a case for some of those moves on an individual basis - baconface March 5, 2025, 12:56:14 Yikes and he just got his contract renewed.* - gullit March 5, 2025, 12:52:13 LOL. i missed you, Spacks. We need to do a bears podcast together. * - VIV March 5, 2025, 12:49:58 It may be fleeting, but tough not to be here during NFL offseason and college hoops primetime!* - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 13:33:21 you're a necessary counterweight to my default of "sure, why not?"* - VIV March 5, 2025, 13:35:44 This one I actually like? - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 16:51:45 WR isn't a huge need, but it is a need. - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 12:29:57 Lockett may be done IMO. I made a prop bet against his yardage total last year and it came in...... - MtHoodIllini March 5, 2025, 16:12:44 even mid-tier WRs now cost $8-12M AAV. * - VIV March 5, 2025, 12:32:34 Thoughts on Judkins? - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:27:45 i'm going to do a really detailed dive into the RBs next month right before the draft. - VIV March 5, 2025, 11:27:05 If I’m the Bears, I ignore that Swift is on the roster. Gonna cut him next year anyway. - Carl Spackler March 5, 2025, 16:55:43 LOL at "he runs like the defenders fucked his gf" but it is true - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 11:39:47 and isn't the crass model for RB to draft them, run them into the ground on their rookie deal, - VIV March 5, 2025, 11:47:14 Unrelated OL note: Heard yesterday that Amegadjie is training with Olin Kreutz this offseason* - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 10:00:48 So he's learning how to get more personal foul penalties? - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:06:12 He needs all the help that he can get. Looked like a newborn deer in the little I saw of him.* - Warrin'_Illini March 5, 2025, 10:02:05 He shouldn't have played last year. - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 10:42:20 After these deals are they trending away from picking OL?* - SurfTheBoneyard March 5, 2025, 8:55:00 Best analogy I heard about the draft - avoid being the guy who goes to the grocery store hungry. - OB25 March 5, 2025, 9:32:57 use free agency and trades to fix your needs. - VIV March 5, 2025, 9:35:46 Not that I'm arguing, I just don't know. Do you have an example of a team doing that? - longsnapper March 5, 2025, 10:11:55 Perhaps ATL? They were seemingly set at QB with Cousins - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:31:13 your super bowl champs - VIV March 5, 2025, 10:21:46 Yes, but isn't that ignoring their already strong roster? When you've got a conference - longsnapper March 5, 2025, 10:26:42 i don't know what sort of example you're looking for, then. - VIV March 5, 2025, 10:31:48 I'm thinking more like a Kyler situation, although it was pretty clear Rosen wasn't it. - longsnapper March 5, 2025, 10:38:39 Don't know how much of a weakness DB was in 2023 - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:24:54 they need a corner and took 2. * - VIV March 5, 2025, 10:28:58 I think secondary & LB were their two biggest weaknesses going into the off-season* - longsnapper March 5, 2025, 10:28:20 I don’t think it would be done in a situation where you have studs at the position. - OB25 March 5, 2025, 10:18:17 The Eagles tend to take BPA - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:21:43 JEANTY TIME!!!!!!!!!! - VIV March 5, 2025, 9:17:19 Unless we make an edge splash, seems like that is going to be a need. Shemar Stewart!* - gvibes March 5, 2025, 10:09:46 Not necessarily, but gives them more latitude now to take BPA* - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:01:21 They still need to pick OL - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 8:59:37 according to the discussion on WMVP Thuney is expected to sign an extension - IlliniSax05 March 5, 2025, 9:08:14 In reading further, Biggs mentioned that as well. - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 9:10:16 Per Rapoport...Bears expected to trade for KC All-Pro G Joe Thuney - IlliniSax05 March 5, 2025, 8:28:48 He’s old, but still a hell of a player. Also I hate Poles* - gvibes March 5, 2025, 9:59:17 You'll hate him even if he wins a SB* - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:09:41 my chiefs fan friends are really sad. - VIV March 5, 2025, 9:16:38 KC definitely took a step backwards, even if they had to do it. - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 9:26:59 Yep Kyle Long just tweeted that teammates will love the dude* - illini21 March 5, 2025, 9:19:36 so between this and the Jackson deal, they're probably not going Campbell at 10? - Sammich March 5, 2025, 8:53:16 Why not? Adds depth. They still may need a LT - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:00:47 I don't think they have the luxury of hyper-focusing on any one group - Sammich March 5, 2025, 9:08:55 I agree, but they should go BPA and if Campbell is there, he'd be hard to pass up* - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:10:44 The way the draft seems likely to break, odds are BPA is going to be OL/DL, right? Or Jeanty?* - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 9:24:39 Post-combine, most mocks seem to have Jeanty gone by 10 - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:39:28 i can't wait for chicago sports radio after we take shemar stewart* - VIV March 5, 2025, 9:40:04 Also, I think talk radio would be way more up in arms if they took Jeanty* - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:44:30 I suspect he won't be there at 10 but he's growing on me ever so slightly - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:43:39 I kind of feel like that whole A&M team kind of underperformed. - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 10:02:25 Yeah, no apparent motor issues from those guys - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:04:41 Hard to tell - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 10:06:45 lots of reports that mykel was hurt all year. he seems very much like a jadeveon clowney type - VIV March 5, 2025, 9:46:20 Yeah he had a bad ankle, I think. But he did dominate vs Texas - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 10:03:19 I can't help but think of Allegretti everytime the bears IOL comes up. - longsnapper March 5, 2025, 8:51:08 Future 4th. That seems steep for a guy his age* - VIV March 5, 2025, 8:32:02 2026 4th. 15 mil cap hit* - Mrap24 March 5, 2025, 8:46:36 1st team All-Pro last 2 years and 1st at his position last year in pass rush win rate - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 8:44:51 Yeah, you have to think this is the direct result of deciding to keep Smith* - AintHatin March 5, 2025, 8:57:11 If you have to choose, you keep Smith. Thuney's really good though. - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 9:03:56 The guys on Get Up routinely spew hyperbole but Louis Riddick - bjl63 March 5, 2025, 9:14:32 2x 1st team All Pro, 2x 2nd team All Pro, 4X SB Champ - Chicago1995 March 5, 2025, 9:23:46 I'm ok with it. he's been 1st team all pro the last 2 years and he'll bring leadership - IlliniSax05 March 5, 2025, 8:43:44 yeah i would say having an adult in the room might be most important part - John Coctostan March 5, 2025, 8:50:47 Spackler's gonna have an aneurysm when he sees this news.* - illini21 March 5, 2025, 8:42:48 Follow up tweet says deal centered around a future 4th rd pick* - illini21 March 5, 2025, 8:31:43 whoa* - illini21 March 5, 2025, 8:29:56 Bears are non-tendering Jack Sanborn.* - Warrin'_Illini March 4, 2025, 15:03:23 Franchise tag window is closed. Only Trey Smith and Tee Higgins were tagged. * - VIV March 4, 2025, 15:02:42 We traded a sixth rounder for Jonah Jackson. I trust Ben here, but blah* - gvibes March 4, 2025, 11:38:15 I don’t have a strong opinion about this but I just wish I trusted Poles at all when it comes to OL - OB25 March 4, 2025, 16:32:43 I'd bet my left nut this happened because of Coach BJ (who I definitely trust as a talent evaluator - Warrin'_Illini March 4, 2025, 16:40:38 Ben obviously knows him so I'm assuming he wanted to do this* - AintHatin March 4, 2025, 12:33:44 100%. i don't think they make this move if Ben doesn't want him* - VIV March 4, 2025, 12:50:03 Ryan Poles is a fucking idiot.* - Carl Spackler March 4, 2025, 12:23:37 It's a 6th round pick. Small potatoes* - bjl63 March 4, 2025, 12:58:57 He’s worth negative draft picks at $17.5MM. - Carl Spackler March 4, 2025, 13:28:47 the question is whether or not you trust ben johnson, not poles. * - VIV March 4, 2025, 13:57:15 I don’t trust Ben Johnson to know why Jackson didn’t start over 2 rookies after his injury. - Carl Spackler March 4, 2025, 19:50:39 If this is for $11MM vs $17MM cap hit, then not as bad. - Carl Spackler March 4, 2025, 12:42:22 still a discrepancy between spotrac and overthecap. - VIV March 4, 2025, 12:49:30 Overthecap now has 8+M roster bonuses both years. Lol* - gvibes March 4, 2025, 12:51:56 He does. The 26 bonus is not guaranteed* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 4, 2025, 12:59:06 The 2025 roster bonus is also not guaranteed yet right? That was why LA was going to cut him? - gvibes March 4, 2025, 13:09:13 The bonus in 25 is guaranteed if they cut him they’d have taken a cap hit of dead money - CanHartlebHireSnider March 4, 2025, 13:20:03 I don't think that is right about the 2025 roster bonus being guaranteed. That was - gvibes March 4, 2025, 13:31:34 Also on the bonus in 2025 being fully guaranteed - CanHartlebHireSnider March 4, 2025, 13:41:52 Didn't know they could do that.
