  1. You’ve repeatedly referred to him as a god awful player that can only hurt the team by his very presence on the roster. But then you sprinkle in the occasional, “well yeah obviously he’s a perfectly acceptable backup.” Just pointing out that your obvious trolling was obvious to everybody.
  2. Payton has to know if you want to tank for a top pick, Fields is your guy.
  3. Just keeping this here for posterity
  4. You have to assume Poles sits out the first wave of FA until he actually participates in the first wave. It’s his 3rd offseason and so far the biggest guys are running backs and linebackers listed in the middle of top 100 free agent lists. He’s not a top of the market guy.
  5. I would imagine that infringing on the lake and harbor would be an even bigger obstacle than just building in existing land.
  6. That is true. But he’ll know the offers that are out there and he’ll know people were willing to offer no more than a 6th (if that’s the case), so what are his options if nobody wants him this offseason? Demand a release?
  7. Savvy vet backups are overpaid and not that savvy and generally suck. Fields is good for a game or two here or there. He’s also a weapon they could utilize in fun ways a couple times a game. And the point is to get more value out of an asset.
  8. This is the bears offseason thread
  9. For the life of me I will never understand the “can’t have Fields in the clubhouse” argument. He’s under contract for one year. Hes a good guy/teammate He’s proven over and over he’s not THE guy. But he’s capable of winning a game or two. If Williams is any good he’ll win the job in the summer and it’ll be obvious he should be the starter. If Williams gets injured then fields starts. If Fields goes on a tear, great! If he fuddles along like he’s done so far in his caeeer, so be it. there is not going to be a clubhouse split about who should start. If Williams starts and is bad enough that people will be clamoring for Fields, that situation is not any better with Fields in another uniform. ideally, somebody else gets hurt in September and Fields is sitting there as a guy they’d be willing to trade a 2nd for. But they should not trade him today for a 6th just because they are afraid of him being in the locker room with Williams.
  10. It weakens a divisional opponent in the short term, but also bails them out of bad contract for an aging qb.
  11. Swift does not impress me. Seems like an overpay for a non-difference maker.
  12. They play in a publicly owned stadium that is 100 years old and was renovated (poorly) in 2002/03.
  13. I think this story is just that they are proposing to build a new dome and “offering” to provide $2B in financing but this would still need public support and have to go through a ton of hoops. Still just part of the process.
  14. Bedard with one ridiculously ugly forced it off the defender goal from behind the net, then another absolute beauty on a 5 on 3.
  15. Apparently they have deal with Byard. the Jr Eagles are back
  16. Classic Harry Carey moment with ball lost in sun.
  17. In the unlikely event that they keep Fields, they’d absolutely still have to draft a QB somewhere. That would likely entail trading out from 1 and getting a haul, including 2nd day picks this year. You can’t go Fields/Bagent/Peterman?. Keep the pipeline flowing.
  18. Mac Jones going to Jacksonville for a 6th. He’s a good healthy step below Fields, but when it’s obvious you are moving on from a disappointing qb, it’s tough to get much in the way of value. Bears might need an offseason injury to a returning qb to juice demand.
  19. I completely disagree with you description of what is taking place. The reporters are reporting sensible stuff, dipshit fans are interpreting their own way and twisting words. its easy and simplistic to constantly harp on the media’s role, but it’s wrong here.
  20. They can’t afford to give up draft picks for a rental. That would be terrible.
  21. I don’t like that you made me click through to read, but I do like the story
  22. What was your favorite part of the Anthony Beauvillier era? He’s been dealt to Nashville for a 5th round pick.
  23. Generally speaking it is unwise to speak about a woman’s body and its relative thickness. Women in media get this horsefeathers all the time. He’s a middle aged man. She probably doesn’t take kindly to it
