I will trust the process here.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 19:04:54 agreed.* - Ari Gold Yesterday, 18:40:26 Lions releasing LT Taylor Decker* - AintHatin Yesterday, 13:00:32 ...He's good isn't he?* - illini21 Yesterday, 13:04:47 I thought he was not great last year but kind of playing hurt* - gvibes Yesterday, 13:07:40 i wouldn't hate it as a short term stopgap at LT* - VIV Yesterday, 13:06:37 Rashan Gary is out in GB - assassin Yesterday, 12:52:46 Not so fast! - AintHatin Yesterday, 13:46:27 6'5", 277, and super unproductive.

Visited the Bears after Dalman retired.* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 7:43:52 A fake insider or two suggested we were more focused on the Bills guy* - gvibes Yesterday, 10:36:26 Reports now that the Bears visit never happened.* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 10:09:41 Damn, wanted him. I know the Ravens guy is good but will cost more than Dalman. - Toonces Yesterday, 8:32:33 I dunno. Washington cut him because they're moving to more of an outside zone running game - AintHatin Yesterday, 10:03:25 Ok, works for me. Can't really comment on the quality or fit of any of these players. - Toonces Yesterday, 10:16:12 I also think they are slotting in Allegretti as the starter in 26* - tuffy7 Yesterday, 10:10:30 Yeah, and he's better at that style. - AintHatin Yesterday, 10:11:52 probably cuz of what he's looking to get paid. he's asking for $20-$25M/year - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 8:48:04 Damn, I don't think the Bears need to be paying the most in the league for a C.* - Toonces Yesterday, 8:56:22 if he's not the best C in the league, he's 2nd. and he's young. and you need protection* - VIV Yesterday, 10:20:47 For sure, but we also have a huge hole at LT.

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.

We will miss him.* - Warrin'_Illini March 5, 2026, 10:52:16 unfortunately he was being paid more than that.* - Ari Gold March 5, 2026, 11:32:25 Yeah, had to happen. Hopefully Rome is healthy next year.* - Warrin'_Illini March 5, 2026, 11:34:06 I'm happy to get anything.

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 can recoup some of the money but the hit still is there* - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 14:09:02 $28 million guaranteed, $6 million signing bonus.* - Warrin'_Illini March 3, 2026, 14:06:01 I saw one tweet saying there would be $4M in dead cap, so they'd get $10M in relief - IlliniSax05 March 3, 2026, 14:05:14 Looks like there was $4M of signing bonus left to pay. $2M this year and $2M next - VIV March 3, 2026, 14:08:26 I don’t recall his contract structure - CanHartlebHireSnider March 3, 2026, 14:02:50 oh god, is that the rule? it's been so long since we've had an early retirement like this* - VIV March 3, 2026, 14:04:41 It’s the same as a release I believe.

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.

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. But then has a great - MC March 2, 2026, 11:22:34 I think he’s an easy top 9 pick. Are you listening, 1-9?* - voiceofreason March 3, 2026, 12:54:12 I can't believe he is picked in the first. I could maybe see someone picking Simpson - gvibes March 2, 2026, 11:45:13 I think Simpson goes 1st round. I will be shocked if Allar does. - VIV March 3, 2026, 13:44:35 The days of moronic GM’s are (mostly) over so I’m not buying that. - OB25 March 2, 2026, 11:44:14 Drew Allar, the Penn State QB? I'd rather have ultimate winner Luke Altmyer.* - Warrin'_Illini March 2, 2026, 11:41:48 Yes * - MC March 2, 2026, 12:02:56 he would be an awful top 15 pick* - VIV March 2, 2026, 11:27:16 I would strongly encourage teams to draft him top 1st rounder * - MC March 2, 2026, 11:35:53 (almost) anything that helps the bears* - torinese March 2, 2026, 11:26:27 Lions trade David Montgomery to the Texans for a 5th rounder* - AintHatin March 2, 2026, 10:41:40 Looks like it’s for a 4th, a 7th and Juice Scruggs. Absolute insane price to pay for Montgomery. - Carl Spackler March 2, 2026, 11:01:33 Indeed, and aren't there a lot of free agent running backs? I thought I heard that.* - Warrin'_Illini March 2, 2026, 11:04:28 Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker are the headliner. That said, HOU gave up next to nothing to get him - bjl63 March 2, 2026, 15:26:48 Taylen Green is an intriguing QB prospect* - illini21 February 28, 2026, 16:06:41 He can’t play QB very well* - bjl63 March 2, 2026, 11:19:47 intriguing WR prospect maybe. he can't throw* - snipes824 February 28, 2026, 16:08:24 Jacas reps 225 bench 30 times.
