    The athletics latest mock has only cam ward going top ten, with sanders falling to late in the first with jets trading up for him. Jeanty goes to bears at 10, then Kenneth Grant- DT Michigan at 39 and Aireontae Ersery - OT Minnesota 41. They end it in the third round with bears taking Princely Umanmielen - Edge Ole Miss. Positionally that would be fine with me. Top player at his position who can make an impact on offense in the first. Likely year one contributors on the lines in 2nd and 3rd

    Blackhawks call up Arty. He’s 19, was called up earlier but only to practice with the NHL team during AHL all star break. Their top prospect could slot in with Vlasic as the top pairing. Curious if he stays up the rest of the way or if this is just another taste of NHL for the kid. And also wonder if this is part of their draft evaluation for this year, because there is the chance they have opportunity to take a franchise DMan with first overall pick, who would slot ahead of every D they have in a deep D class. If they feel their guys are enough maybe they decide to go F no matter what. But if they have doubts about Arty, and Schaefer’s available to them, they have to consider it.

    Freaking Foligno good guy and all but this team won’t win until he’s done being Captain Default

    Also, anybody worth anywhere near 8m isn’t taking a one year deal to play on a lottery team. You might (but probably won’t) be able to convince a $8m guy to take one year for a chance at the cup but not to keep a seat warm on a losing team.

    In other words, they already have Teuvo and Bertuzzi (and Foligno/Dickinson/Mikheyev) making multi millions and don’t need a middle sixer. They need a top line guy and have plenty of space to get one.

    There probably would be some second tier guy they could overpay (like all the 3rd/4th line guys they’ve overpaid the past two years) but then that guy would be on the roster and taking the space of a kid on an entry level contract you’d rather see play. Weber allows them to reach the floor more easily while keeping spots for Dach, Nazar, Slaggert, etc

    It’s kind of exactly like the Carroll hire was for them, the road to respectability rather than a run at contending. for Seattle they are moving an older guy in the last year of his contract they probably didn’t want to extend on his terms. And are expected to try and get Darnold who is a different younger version of the pumpkin that is Geno Smith.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    Geno Smith to raiders is interesting seattle realizing a nice story doesn’t really mean much when it comes to title hopes. Oakland being Oakland

    He signed for much less 8/96 vs 8/112. Two million less per

    Rantanan signed to 8 years with 12m in average annual value with Dallas which is pretty reasonable and something he probably only accepted because Dallas offers a shot at the cup and Chicago would not.

    They managed to trade away Mrazek, which is nice. Along with Craig Smith. They get back a 4th line center in Joe Velona from Detroit
  12. jersey cubs fan
    If he signs an extension, yeah, not good. But not back breaking as he wasn’t a particularly likely acquisition anyway. While a FA signing remains the most simple way to acquire a difference maker, I still think a trade is what’s going to happen. The bottom line is they have too much depth and draft picks. There simply is not enough roster spots to efficiently use all the guys and future guys they will have on the roster in 2027 and beyond. There is a glut of middle six and bottom six guys and zero impact forwards. I think this years first round pick should be a huge asset to acquire somebody else’s Brandon Hagel.

    I’m not a fan of bringing in unproductive players that coaches worked with before, but hoping it’s dirt cheap contract and Johnson is better at this than all the other guys that suck at it.

    With 5 sacks in 14 games, which was the same number he played combined in the prior two seasons. 28 games played in 3 seasons. Compared to Khalil Mack who has played 50 in the same time frame. Sure mack is significantly older but at some point if a guy goes three straight seasons of being unable to even play 15 games, you have to think he’s not long for the NFL. if one of them would take a one year prove it deal then I guess I’m not gonna complain. But you can’t expect Bosa to be a bookend to Sweat for the 2025 season.

    They traded a player they couldn’t afford
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Bosa seems cooked to me.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Sure the headline isn’t great but he is a guard that was forced into playing tackle and he struggled there. he’s also a highly paid guard and they franchised their younger better guard and needed to make room. it makes sense why KC would look to move an older expensive guard when they have extremely highly paid linemen elsewhere and a qb on a post SB winning contract. he’s better than anybody that played in the interior of the bears line last year and that is what matters. Chicago needs him and can afford him while KC cannot afford him and have a better guard on the roster.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    It probably doesn’t matter but I’d lean toward letting the better of the two choose where he’s most comfortable let the other guy adjust
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I don’t think a luxury pick is a real thing. The bears need impact players and can use one of them at a variety of positions.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    They still need a tackle and have a desperate need for pass rush. I’d be fine with Jeanty but the lack of quality qbs and the resurgence of the RB position makes me doubt he’d last to 10.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I think they have to extend him, as his cap hit is nearly $27m
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I don’t hate it. They forced their own hand here with how poorly they managed the roster the past three years and punting on opportunities to stockpile while maintaining draft capital. And now they have to give away that capital just to rise to decent. The more work they do now will allow for BPA flexibility with their first three picks. Two guard specific interior lineman pretty much wraps up the Jenkins era who already had one (injured) foot out the door. If they sign the center then they can still bring in a tackle and maybe have the line set for the remainder of Caleb’s rookie contract. But they can’t get complacent and will need to keep bringing guys in even if that will be harder now without a 4th in 2026.

    A certain segment of bears media and fandom must be apoplectic that Bears aren’t tendering sanborn

    9m base plus 8.5 roster bonus. he’s owed 17m this year and I am fine with that. This is what happens when you sit out two straight free agency periods in order to tank. They had not choice but to spend this money and a whole lot more for other guys
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Yes. Shocking that the stats for a player on the least talented team of the last three years are bad.
