Jeffrey Simmons traded to the Bears - illini21 October 29, 2026, 09:24

Monangai ruled out again* - OB25 October 31, 2026, 14:00
- that’s not great. should’ve been put on ir.* - Ari Gold October 31, 2026, 14:19
I know how you talk at the podium means very little - AintHatin October 30, 2026, 15:28
If Carl Williams can’t get a piece of the Bears guess the next best thing is the stadium development - CanHartlebHireSnider October 30, 2026, 13:25
Baller move. 2 firsts for a DT is a steep price, and doesn’t fix the DE and LB deficiencies - bbonb October 29, 2026, 17:32
- This seems like the kind of guy that makes a bunch of your players “better” * - meanjeans October 31, 2026, 14:19
  - 100%* - TarheelIllini October 31, 2026, 14:25
Same guy that said Simmons was a possibility yesterday said that Mack is getting finalized - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 16:56
- Link? - OB25 October 29, 2026, 17:08
  - I think he’s referring to this guy. Always seemed fake insider to me - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 17:14
    - Yeah looks like he’s just aggregating rumors and throwing everything at the wall. - OB25 October 29, 2026, 17:29
      - use AI to scrape and post, have a similar hit rate to an insider, and behold!* - torinese October 30, 2026, 13:41
Any way that 5th is for Mack and they're both the same day? * - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 14:43
Is he going to play on Monday night?* - shua October 29, 2026, 14:15
- Word is yes - ibdoc October 29, 2026, 14:38
  - Him and Nelson. Will be a fun night on Monday* - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 15:06
Looks like Arlington Heights deal is near complete as well - busy day * - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 13:53
- If the Hammond thing was to make AH seem palatable, it worked on me - RVA October 29, 2026, 19:43
- Eh aggregators suck - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 14:01
i do like pushing chips in when you're in your super bowl window - VIV October 29, 2026, 12:28
- I don’t know how any Bears fan isn’t estatic about this. These guys are close to unicorns. - voiceofreason October 29, 2026, 13:24
  - Did Cincy land Jonathan Taylor? I think I might have been centle'd on that one.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 16:02
  - I’m excited about it and when you look at his stats the last couple of years, just amazing. Should - harb October 29, 2026, 16:00
  - The fact that he’s on the Titans is I think leading to people not realizing just how good he is. - OB25 October 29, 2026, 13:31
    - Yep. 36-year-old Cam Heyward is still wrecking dudes - illini21 October 29, 2026, 14:54
    - I also think he’ll probably uptick a bit getting away from there - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 13:40
- Counter point. There is a fair chance that he gives more production than both picks combined - MC October 29, 2026, 12:40
  - 1. There’s no such thing as a sure thing in football. 2. Have to include the cap space.* - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 13:40
    - Well yes but he’s already a proven AP player so it’s more likely he’s good than bad. - MC October 29, 2026, 14:16
    - Cap space can easily be manipulated - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 13:43
      - Then why are you worried about fitting this into Caleb’s rookie deal? - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 13:59
        
        I'm not. Still, no better time to make the big splash* - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 14:21
        
        I'm not. Still, no better time to make the big splash* - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 14:20
  - The talk is the Bears are the 10th best team and thus would have 2 x #23 picks - ibdoc October 29, 2026, 13:09
- I hope they keep pushing. No half measures.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 12:37
- Hey pig, you ever had your chips pushed in?* - Sammich October 29, 2026, 12:36
- It’s a lot but I’m thinking about this way… - OB25 October 29, 2026, 12:36
Titans-Bengals line this weekend went from 10 to 11.5 after the trade.* - voiceofreason October 29, 2026, 12:12
so it looks like the titans took the cap hit on the signing bonus and the bears will have 4 years - Ari Gold October 29, 2026, 11:11
- More details - OB25 October 29, 2026, 11:39
  - FWIW, Sweat's cap hit next year is $25,085,295* - AintHatin October 29, 2026, 11:46
    - it'll be $4M when they cut him - IlliniSax05 October 29, 2026, 11:50
      - I’d be very surprised if they cut him. You think Sweat is bad, wait until you see the FA DE pool. - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 12:12
        
        Sweat isn't a bad football player - AintHatin October 29, 2026, 13:13
      - Will be interesting to see if he starts producing a ton now that Simmons is eating up double teams - OB25 October 29, 2026, 11:52
- If he’s under contract thru 2029, seems fine. * - MC October 29, 2026, 11:22
Maybe Simmons can get Sweat going a bit as they were college teammates* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 10:48
So Simmons v Quenton Nelson on Monday? Nice* - AintHatin October 29, 2026, 10:39
WIn a Lombardi with Simmons and it's worth it. Otherwise it isn't.* - AintHatin October 29, 2026, 10:26
- on a certain level, that could be said about every transaction ever made* - Sammich October 29, 2026, 10:38
  - (minus the "Simmons" part)* - Sammich October 29, 2026, 10:39
Bears apparently also got a 5th rounder back in the trade.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 10:20
- <Carl>YES!</Spackler> - Kajagoogoo October 29, 2026, 10:46
  - Bears still have plenty of powder left to make additional moves. LFG.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 10:48
So looking after this season, the Bears needs stack up as: - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 10:10
- Why don't you worry about winning THIS year? Can't win the 2027 Super Bowl - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 11:17
  - Because I think the Bears had (and still have) a long window. - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 12:37
- he's not prime Aaron Donald but hopefully this move helps at least the other DT(s), if not the DEs - IlliniSax05 October 29, 2026, 10:50
  - Dexter is in Atlanta* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 10:53
    - shit, I meant Jarrett - IlliniSax05 October 29, 2026, 10:58
- I get where you’re coming from but every team in the league has a bunch of weak spots on the roster - OB25 October 29, 2026, 10:17
  - Well put* - illini21 October 29, 2026, 10:45
overpaid for a 29 year old DT* - Poldark October 29, 2026, 10:08
I think Dexter Lawrence is a bit better, and he went for one first. But it was the 10 pick, - gvibes October 29, 2026, 10:06
- Lawrence was worth every penny. These good DTs can impact the game in so many ways - voiceofreason October 29, 2026, 10:44
Take advantage of the remaining time Caleb has on his rookie deal. Win now* - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 10:05
I’ll never understand the cap but how does this work financially? - OB25 October 29, 2026, 10:01
- Only costs $8M this year it seems?* - John Coctostan October 29, 2026, 11:18
First thought - Spackler is gonna be pissed about the picks * - MC October 29, 2026, 10:01
- Dots - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 10:04
Nashon Wright kind of agitating for a trade. I know he's not great but the Bears need some - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 09:56
- agreed if we are doing this we need secondary help* - CoronaTheirAss October 29, 2026, 09:58
Chicago Bears Chicago Bears they're going all the way... Super Bowl Super Bowl yay hey ok...* - uofi1998 October 29, 2026, 09:55
Wow, what a move. Wish he was like 2 years younger but he’s a DPOY caliber guy right now.* - OB25 October 29, 2026, 09:52
- Yeah I’d feel a lot better if he were 27 and not 29 - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 09:57
Grats Bears fans. He’s an absolute beast. I’ll miss watching him. - nash October 29, 2026, 09:39
- I’d be ecstatic about this if I were a Titans fan. - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 10:28
  - Sure if the front office was competent there’d be something to look forward to. - nash October 29, 2026, 11:23
  - Except your Titans fan and have no QB on your roster and are years from contending for a - MC October 29, 2026, 10:37
- 2 firsts and a 4th is a pretty great return, though.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 09:44
  - Hopefully they are both very late first round!* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 09:51
    - For sure. The Titans stink and need to rebuild, Simmons on a big deal does nothing for them. - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 09:54
and it looks like he had signed a 3 year deal a few months ago... - shua October 29, 2026, 09:35
must mean they can get out from under sweat?* - Ari Gold October 29, 2026, 09:34
- They can. They can cut him after this year and save a ton* - Mrap24 October 29, 2026, 09:43
  - Jeebus, I'm bad at this* - Sammich October 29, 2026, 10:14
It says two 1sts and a 4th - wowza * - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 09:27
- I mean those 1sts will basically be early 2nds am i right * - meanjeans October 29, 2026, 10:50
- a proven playmaker at a position of need - IlliniSax05 October 29, 2026, 10:05
- A lot but can’t win now in 2028* - bjl63 October 29, 2026, 09:35
- That’s a lottttt but go win a Super Bowl in the next few years* - illini21 October 29, 2026, 09:33
- LOL* - Carl Spackler October 29, 2026, 09:31
- Wow. At least Simmons is legit and a missing piece* - CanHartlebHireSnider October 29, 2026, 09:30
- WTF.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 09:29
- I mean I guess the Myles Garrett trade kinda set the market * - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 09:29
HOLY SH!T * - aimlessillini October 29, 2026, 09:25

Noice. Now go get a CB, RB and TE.* - Warrin'_Illini October 29, 2026, 09:25
