I feel like we'll have to go "cheap" on one. - Toonces March 6, 2026, 10:46:03 There's just nothing out there at LT. I'd re-sign Braxton and have him and Benedet battle it out.* - Carl Spackler March 6, 2026, 10:52:43 I guess. Need to hit on our draft picks this year.

Getting Luke and/or Beatty in the late rounds would be cool.* - Warrin'_Illini March 5, 2026, 17:33:24 I’d love it and don’t think it’s a reach where they’ll be picking in the second round - AintHatin March 5, 2026, 17:30:39 He seems like a pretty Dennis Allen-ish edge frankly* - gvibes March 5, 2026, 17:23:36 Falcons are going to release Darnell Mooney.* - Toonces March 5, 2026, 17:13:09 Cam Jordan to become a FA.

I'm talking myself into the Cards getting him at 34* - Desert March 3, 2026, 13:55:37 No? He kind of sucked this year.

I believe with retirement that no longer counts against the cap* - VIV March 3, 2026, 14:04:13 His salary obviously wouldn't hit the cap, but I don't think the pro-rated part of - gvibes March 3, 2026, 14:07:10 Looks like a lot of his "guarantees" were in the form of guaranateed salary. - gvibes March 3, 2026, 14:14:20 I think this doesn't hit the cap. So we really only have the pro-rated portion of his tiny 6M - gvibes March 3, 2026, 14:37:17 They owe $4 million in signing bonus and he had $9.5 million left in guarantees - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 14:42:44 My guess is the former but I am clueless* - gvibes March 3, 2026, 14:53:04 You might be right. It might just be the bonus and the $4 million* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 15:29:08 CBA says things are guaranteed for "skill, injury and Salary Cap" terminations. - gvibes March 3, 2026, 15:08:59 No it’s moved up to 2026.

They just don’t have the pay the money - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 14:12:20 do they at least get cap relief?* - Ari Gold March 3, 2026, 13:58:50 whoa. wtf?* - VIV March 3, 2026, 13:53:52 Whoa.* - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 13:53:35 Well that’s not good* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 13:51:43 uh not great* - John Coctostan March 3, 2026, 13:51:11 well, now all-in on tyler linderbaum* - VIV March 3, 2026, 13:55:43 Is a Center worth $20M a year?

Go draft the next one.* - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 14:54:55 lol. i wish there was a really good one in the draft* - VIV March 3, 2026, 15:21:01 Now even more reason to trade down. Holes all over the place. - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 14:12:54 like your mother* - VIV March 3, 2026, 14:49:59 Well this is interesting (Crosby) - OB25 March 3, 2026, 11:37:50 Florio said on the Score this morning that the Raiders want 2 first round picks and a player* - illini21 March 3, 2026, 12:44:18 the 2 firsts are crazy, but if they can get out from under dj’s contract, it’s worth considering.* - Ari Gold March 3, 2026, 14:01:28 i want a toilet made out of solid gold but it's just not in the cards now, is it - IlliniSax05 March 3, 2026, 13:02:57 I’m really not sold on of it’s the right move for the Bears. Just so many holes to fill on defense. - OB25 March 3, 2026, 12:54:16 Agree. He's awesome but not at that price. Hendrickson as a FA would be pretty cool though.* - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 13:15:07 Hendrickson turns 32 next season and is coming off core muscle surgery. - VIV March 3, 2026, 13:42:31 I still think the Bears have too many holes. Considering the makeup of this draft I almost think - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 13:53:17 These are the most pointless reports from reporters. - Carl Spackler March 3, 2026, 12:53:53 I think it ends up happening* - illini21 March 3, 2026, 12:20:56 I mean it's usually the same reason the Cubs are always preseason favorites - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 11:45:08 Did they only recently post this as something you can bet on? - OB25 March 3, 2026, 11:59:53 We'll have the current Crosby and the next Crosby.* - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 11:44:56 Kalshi has him at 70% to Chicago* - gvibes March 3, 2026, 11:41:27 NM* - Carl Spackler March 3, 2026, 7:05:34 Less than a week away from NFL free agency. Some rambling. - Carl Spackler March 3, 2026, 7:05:21 So Allar was mocking as 1st rounder, has down year and falls down draft boards.
