I'm not sure I follow your logic here. What does the size of their signing bonus have to do with anything? Dudes who get $10m bonuses can buy a home in whatever shitty Texas/Florida suburb they grew up in and be set for life more or less, so less incentive to settle for security sake. Guys who get smaller bonuses burn through them and have motivation to accept smaller guarantees earlier.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
jersey cubs fan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
It all depends on the quality of upgrade. One stud OL can help the rest of the group. Similarly, a better skills group could offset the need for more OL, but if you really solve the line, it will help the existing skill guys. I would put the number at 3 between OL and WR. 2 new DL could go a long way to helping the rest of the bunch. But as raw noted, you need starters by default because of guys being on one year deals. Maybe not upgrades, but new blood. And one thing they also need to do is start drafting QBs regularly, so you aren’t going out and spending big on garbage backups. -
Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
jersey cubs fan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
It’s really chaps my hide that after adding nothing to the offense last year it looks like a strong possibility they wont be able to add an impact offensive player this year. There are no receivers or top tackles likely available in free agency and a greater than 50% chance they draft defense early. As bad a job that Poles did with offense this offseason and people are maybe rightfully saying D Line is the number one need. -
Tua has great numbers, but when I see him play he’s not good. Lots of dumb stuff. Is he propped up by his roster?

Congratulations

This is why you don’t punt offseasons -
And considering he won’t have played in a game for like 16-18 months when the season starts So are you guys saying you would be unConfortoble with that contract?
-
You don’t have to give him a pass. nobody expected him to make the team a success year 1. What he could have done was make the roster better, but he made it much worse.

With his arm I’m not sure that’s in the cards

Following their failed attempt to purchase a premier league team the Ricketts are venturing into Major League Lacrosse

But when they do score, it will be the right way

I am more concerned about his ability to find talent than making proper cost benefit analyses. Most guys at least come in and acquire a handful of quality players in their first offseason. But Poles failed miserably there. Not a single good offensive player and a couple ok defensive guys. This team is still largely a Pace acquired roster, especially at all the difference making positions. That’s weird.

My HOT TAKE is that I don't see how the Ohtani contract ends well for anyone. For him to get even CLOSE to his true value, you're looking at $50M per year, honestly probably like $60-$75M per if he does what he has the last 2 years. If you're doing that contract, you have to commit to having a 2023 Mets payroll for the entire length of the contract or you won't be able to be competitive unless you develop like the Rays for a solid decade. While I love that Cohen is doing that payroll in 2023 and every single owner has more money than God, I don't see that happening for anyone, especially the Cubs. Not to mention, how on earth does Ohtani keep this up another 10 years? What he has done in 2021 and 2022 has never been done in the history of the sport and to count on him continuing that into his late 30s/early 40s just seems impossible. That being said, as a fan, those first few years watching Ohtani would probably be the coolest thing you could ever see outside of winning a championship. go 5/300

And to think, the guy that made the right move to get him (atoning for prior mistakes?) is gone and the guy who has not acquired a single player to help Fields in a year is in charge of surrounding him with talent. Great QBs elevate the team, but they don’t win on their own.

Third time's the charm! Correa to the Twins (6/$200m)

He could have bought a consultant for every American to help fill out healthcare reimbursement documents with that money. -

Gonna feel yucky but I’ll be pulling for the Mets to succeed. Disincentivizing spending is bad. -
Too much Illinois talk in a Bowl Game thread imo It’s unnatural

Obvious 2point conversion situation, not going for it equals tank is on

Well, to start, as that post clearly says, it's Instagram, not Twitter. To answer your question, if a profile is set to public and not private, you can see all of their follows and followers without following them. Do you get a notification when somebody you are following gets a new follower? I guess I'm just wondering why some shlub is checking Alex Cora's followers.Because they want to get hints about player movement. Likewise, when a guy is rumored to be on the trading block, people check to see if/when they stop following the team’s account.

To answer your question, if a profile is set to public and not private, you can see all of their follows and followers without following them. To me, Instagram is Twitter since I don't have either. You can’t compare the two. It’s apples and oranges. Twitter is more like a rotten crabapple and Instagram is the plastic orange you put out for display purposes only
