my decision so far this season to not watch every single game is looking incredibly vindicated i'll peek back in when they go on a heater. my condolences to everyone here, this season so far looks extremely irritating
-
team giving me a lot of "I hate this team" vibes will change once they win a few in a row
-
i would love Ben brown off this team
-
approach today is driving me horsefeathers insane i want my big beautiful offense of early 2025
-
Miguel Amaya if you want to be the Carson Kelly of 2026 I’m good with it
-
Seems like a steal for his prime years. Less than $20 mil per for a guy who could go off and have some absolute monster years if his bat gets more consistent.
-
This is all distorted to make it seem worse than it is: Nahshon Wright wasn’t a starter, he was your 4th corner who played well, the linebacker in question was outplayed by his back up (and we signed someone who’s also pro bowl quality for cheaper) the receiver was our 3rd or 4th option by the end of the season and we got a 2nd round pick for hin, we signed a younger safety who was on the best defense to replace the older one. the only things I’m not happy with (yet!) is how we’re replacing Trapilo and Dalman, both unforeseen and unplanned losses. But we haven’t even gotten a week into FA or into the draft yet. I’m not shocked they didn’t have big moves to help those areas yet.
-
Would have loved Byard back, but I'm not too gutted he's gone. Feels like the market spoke on Nahshon Wright's value: all 32 teams basically think his season last year was a fluke. Let's hope they're right, because he could have been gotten back for real cheap. (I do think Tyrique is a better all-around corner than him, and I hope he isn't in the doghouse for no reason).
-
Las Vegas I’m offering you a single 2!~ for the very damaged goods of Maxx Crosby, we’ll figure out a way to salvage his ruined career, thank you
-
Ok, this guy might actually be very good. If we can somehow hold onto Byard I really like our secondary+linebackers.
-
I don't love our biggest splash FA-wise being a Safety, but we'll see. Hendrickson got $190 million at age 32 and I don't love that either. Free agency is tough because you are by definition overpaying for people, and usually people after their prime. You can get Edges and D-Tackles in the draft. Get the right couple of guys.
-
Why are we in love with mediocre Colts defensive linemen?
-
OH dang, i got got!
-
Smart move, he was playing on the same level as Edmunds (or even better) and he's like 20 million dollars cheaper.
-
They were like the 27th ranked Defense. It cannot be worse. When both of their 20 million dollar linebackers were out D'Marco Jackson came in and immediately looked better than either of them. I really, purely cannot believe they can look worse. I'm fully prepared to have this be quoted at me next year, and make me look like a fool. And I invite it.
-
Obviously nothing is guaranteed but the Bears are very squarely in their window right now. Let the official offseason actually begin and let them go through FA and the draft. There's no way the defense is worse than last year, and despite the Dalman loss, I don't see the offense regressing either. As long as they avoid the injury bug (always a concern) they're part of the class of the NFC.
-
I mean, I don't know anything about this guy but I trust Ben. https://x.com/danwiederer/status/2030059338849452497?s=20
-
Rashon Gary was released and he's another guy I wouldn't hate taking a look at
-
Depending on how good the 1st/2nd rounder is, I don't know if I agree. D-Line is one of those positions where, provided the guy can play, you can play him immediately. "Established" guys are just as often washed players on the back end of the career, I'm looking at you Ryan Poles, and the 2024-2025 offseason.
-
I know there are a lot of people (mostly media people) invested in a Maxx Crosby trade but I'm just like... I dunno if I want to sell the farm for a 28 year old guy coming off an injury. Just draft well! Sign a center and draft well! Sorry it's not so exciting.
-
It's sad to see DJ go, but its a move that makes football sense. I'm still so gutted by the Dalman retirement... it's not a backbreaker but man it makes taking another clear step forward in 2026 so much more difficult. This'll be a real gut test offseason for Ben Johnson and co. I have full confidence in him.
-
Bears are never allowed to have the Oline locked down, huh (obviously do not begrudge Dalman his decision, just sucks for the team)
-
Oh no.
-
He got an A- so they must like his dorky ass, I dunno
