That's unfortunately correct, although he did ok in his first draft getting Brisker and Kylerman. Hopefully having a better coaching staff puts us on a better trajectory.
-
Fair enough. I know the cap isn't considered "real" but I'm still glad we didn't hand over big money for questionable talent. A lot of these guys will be free agents again next year and will be looking for another payday. Free agency should supplement strong drafting and that's what I'm hoping for this year as it is supposedly a good one for DL/LB/S, which aligns nicely with the Bears needs.
-
The Dayo and Grady Jarrett deals aren't doing us a lot of favors right now. It doesn't seem like we gave any of those out this year.
-
I was being cheeky, but I still like how they addressed so many holes without breaking the bank. No longer term deals for marginal player. If they draft as well on defense as they did on offense last year, then we're looking at a Super Bowl contender that is built to last (as much as one can be in the NFL).
-
Debbie Downer. All these guys are huge upgrades and we're about to draft some more studs.
-
Nashon Wright to the Jets, 1/$5.5.
-
I want WR Hank Beatty from Illinois as a late round pick. Guy can throw it too, so a good fit for Benjo's offense.
-
Edge should be one of the top two picks. I really like Booker so lets get a third and horsefeathers go. Lets go Bears.
-
I think addressing every hole before the draft allows them to draft for upside and talent. I know everyone likes the splash FA but the Bears have so many needs I loved how they shared the sugar.
-
It's a deep draft for what the Bears need (DE, LB, S). JMO.
-
Really like what the Bears did today. They have more info on Braxton than anyone. Can go bpa for basically all of their draft picks. 2 DL, 1 LB, 1 DB, 1 OL, 1 WR 1 Whatever in the draft.
-
I like all the lower cost/short term hole plugging they're doing. I think this draft lines up with their needs pretty well, too. Still interested to see how they address LT, though.
-
Lions LT Taylor Decker has requested a release. He knows Benjo well.......
-
Second round pick is pretty good.
-
I hope I'm wrong, glad they were able to get right a bit against a bad team. Even if Andrej intends on moving on after the season it will behoove him (and anyone else) to play as well as possible for the rest of the season. Hopefully take care of Maryland and secure a 2 seed.
-
I so want him to get over the hump. While many coaches complained about NIL and the portal, he just went harder and searched further for good players. No complaining, always working to improve the roster. He's re-established the program after it fell apart under Weber and Groce. Making the second weekend of the tourney this year will feel like a massive win considering how we're looking right now.
-
It hurts to say but this Illinois team is cooked. Tomi can't move, shoot or defend and I think Andrej is checked out because Wagler supplanted him as "the guy" and he's already looking for his next team. Depth is already a problem and we're leaking oil. I think it'll be over for us quickly in March. This team is dead.
-
For sundays, the earlier is always better.
-
Didn't know her name until yesterday but my goodness Alysa Liu. True blue American hero stuff.
-
I can't believe the 76ers got a first-round pick for Jared McCain while the Bulls couldn't with Coby White or Alex Caruso.
-
Coby got traded to Charlotte for Collin Sexton. They're both UFA so I don't get it. I was on board with the Huerter and Vuc trades but this one doesn't make sense to me.
-
I think this is just a buy low opportunity on Ivey, so I like it. Huerter is a FA and neither he nor Saric figured to be a part of anything moving forward for the Bulls. Conley probably just a throw in to make the money work. Don't stop now AKME!
-
Doesn't sound like the Bulls are getting good offers for Coby. I thought for sure one the teams out west that has lots of picks and needs a guard (San Antonio, Houston, Minny) would make a deal for him. Hopefully something shakes lose this week.
-
Oh boy...Sammy Sosa in Epstein files
The_Achiever replied to Manny Trillos Brother's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So that's why Ricketty invited him back into the Cubs fold. -
I agree with the pro-Rome talk earlier in this thread. He had a good start to the season and I'm still not over the Bears trying to bring him back from a foot injury on a 5-degree day. I give him props for working to get back on the field after getting what I think is bad direction from the training staff.
