    this is probably from the same reporting as the tidbit posted above but it didn’t include anything about the falcons having an extension worked out with Sweat and wanting to go there. Will definitely be a franchise tag which is bizarre because Jaylon Johnson also is refusing to negotiate with the Bears anymore and will become a FA meaning the Bears will have to decide to franchise one of them and let the other walk for nothing. I don’t think Poles is very good at this…

    for now or forever?

    The Harbaugh thing is strange only because there are reports today that Harbaugh is preparing to sign a lucrative extension this week with Michigan. 2 caveats: 1) depending on the size of the buyout, that doesn't mean he couldn't still leave for the NFL and 2) there is apparently language in there that addresses the the NCAA investigation into Michigan right now and potential penalties. And I still highly highly doubt that the Bears would want someone like Harbaugh. Poles definitely doesn't seem like someone ready to hire someone who will siphon off his power (if he's not fired)

    Pretty sure teams can grant you permission to speak with/negotiate with one of their players. Why wouldn't washington...if Sweat agrees to terms on an extension they are able to theoretically get a higher return for him.

    Right...think of how much leverage Sweat would have right now if the Bears traded a 2nd round pick for 1/2 seaso of him and didn't have at least the framework of an extension agreed to. I mean I wouldn't put it past the Bears to do something that stupid, but on the surface it makes no sense.

    lol Bears are gonna lose 33rd overall pick instead of the 32nd overall pick. Hopefully it turns out better! I’m sure it will be better than Claypool though if Jaylon gets traded, it’s still incredibly stupid as hell but the Bears have also invested a lot of draft resources on the secondary and we have been bitching about not building through the trenches. That said, why not horsefeathers have both players?

    It’s sweat

    horsefeathers you are right, not sure how i misread that. The bears haven’t won in the Superdome since….1991
  10. UMFan83
    This is actually still the most watchable and exciting team in Chicago. And they suck
  11. UMFan83
    I think I’m all the way out on Poles if he lets more homegrown talent go despite being in a great spot financially.

    Bears/Saints facts: Current Streak: Saints have won 7 in a row Last Saints win: Mitch Trubisky NVP playoff game in 2021 Last Bears win: 2008 in OT. I was at this game and if I recall correctly, the Bears got the ball 1st in OT, got a huge pass interference call to put them in FG range, and Gould nailed it Last Bears win in the state of Louisiana: 2005 in Baton Rouge after Hurricane Katrina. Believe that was also won on a last second FG Last Bears win in the Superdome: 2003 in a game I have no recollection of and was back when the Saints were still an annual joke of a franchise.

    Struggling to think of 5.... Jaylon Johnson over Nathan Vasher, Edmunds over Hunter Hillenmeyer (if Edmunds can play weak side), Jenkins over Ruben Brown, DJ Moore over Berrian and maybe Fields over Grossman?

    Following Kyle's drastic shifts in QBs is funny. 100% of it is all logical and based on doing what I don't do which is watch tape and analyze performances. It's just funny because I keep losing track of whether Kyle is pro or anti Fields/Caleb Williams/Bagent in any given moment.

    This whole thing about marquee teams playing televised exhibition games against each other is new to me. Is this going to be an annual thing now? I know at least 1-2 of them were put on for charity. Good to see that Hunter Dickinson still can’t beat Illinois.
  16. UMFan83
    Hey you were listening too
  17. UMFan83
    lol, had to run to Walgreens and couldn’t resist turning it on to hear how angry they would be.
  18. UMFan83
    Omg the postgame show has had multiple callers praising Bagent edit: specifically Hamp and OB to be fair which is meatball central. They hate Fields and the complaints about him are ridiculous. Right now they are yelling about him wearing sunglasses during the game and not standing next to Getsy.
  19. UMFan83
    I’m only still watching this to see if Moore can get me a few more fantasy points so I don’t have to rely on Gibbs too much tomorrow
  20. UMFan83
    Fields had 99 passing yards, 4.5 YPA, 58.7 QB rating Bagent has 165 passing yards, 7.2 YPA, 71.8 QB rating
  21. UMFan83
    Is that really something that you can significantly affect? Feels like you either have NFL arm talent or you don’t.
  22. UMFan83
    These refs horsefeathers blow
  23. UMFan83
    Haha should have just kicked a FG
  24. UMFan83
    Do we actually go for it or kick a FG to make a 3 score game a 3 score game?
  25. UMFan83
    Wow I can’t remember seeing a team jump on their own hard count lmao
