  4. I remember talk of Mills moving inside when he was drafted. If we can accept some developmental pains, maybe this is the best move. Opens up moving Long outside and maybe fixing the OL with less overall investment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. [expletive] Roethlesberger and garbage TDs on 4 and 2. Went from being in a very reasonable striking range to needing 12 pts from Donnell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I mean even if we got caught tampering I wouldn't expect any more comp than we gave for Theo which I'd be fine with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. If the Cubs signed someone with amazing pitch framing abilities, that would probably be the day MLB implements robo-umps. sometimes you have to sacrifice for the greater good K Sulley Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. According to Overthecap it's all guaranteed so we're paying him 12.5 no matter what. Next year we walk away from it all. Not sure if pre/post June 1 changes any of that though or if it's even right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I though Svuem had a three year deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. So I've spent all my Bears energy on draft and free agency. Looking ahead it seems there's a projected cap of 140 with the Bears committed at 105 with very little room to free up additional space. However 2016 will grant a lot more cap flexibility and probably another 10M in cap space. Our draft pool shouldn't be more than 5-5.5, mainly dependent on where we fall (I'm guessing 10th pick at worst). No one too notable is a FA with the most interesting names being Paea, DLP, Tillmam, and Conte. Should be around 20M to spend in new FA, and I'll assume about 5M buffer, so 15M. I think you have two choices, which is 1. Make one big splash on the front 4 with Suh. He'll take up most of your space, and you'll have to address your DB heavily in the top three rounds of the draft. 2. Split your FA allocation and try and cover both a starting S and Nickel/CB. It's a pretty decent looking DB pool and while you may not get the top at each position, you can probably allocate about 11M with some backloading if necessary and get two legit starters to upgrade and solidify the DB. With some leftover for other small upgrades- (maybe a slot WR or second TE, or DE help). Then you're really free to go BPA in the draft, with a focus on D (personally really liking the idea of Thompson or McKinney in the first- both would give us a nice speed boost at LB) Plan two though kind of hedges on our current young defensive players and seeing what we have the rest of the way). No reason not to get Ferguson, Sutton, Washington, Jones, and Bostic (once healthy) plenty of burn the rest of the way. While none are likely to be defensive fixtures if we see enough to establish them as rotational pieces/ starters it makes the outlook a lot better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I'd be really concerned about where this leaves Renteria, especially in the eyes of the players. Well that's definitely true at this point. I guess if it had fallen apart like 3 days ago I wouldn't have cared though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I definitely don't find myself as in love as the rest of the board seems. If it fell through I won't be heartbroken at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. So I caught about 30 seconds of Kap & Haugh and they're talking about how Maddon doesn't like the cutter. Is this true and how much should I care? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Timeline Fri- Additional source confirm Sat- contract details leaked Mon- official Cubs announcement with PC scheduled for Thursday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Really? I think we'll hear something Monday at the latest. If we don't I doubt it happens. PC by next Friday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. No. It's very much a team defensive scheme and Snell has every skillset you need to be a good second defender, in fact Thibs used him more as a D specialist than on O last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Shouldn't they have learned their lesson after they got their second choice Jaxon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Maybe throw in a one time cost of a posting fee too? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Oh man I totally read right past that when I saw this yesterday and thought it was just a bro love thing. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. Well yea but now it's like a silly HS cliche in a movie where the star QB calls the secretly hot nerdy girl with glasses by the wrong name and she's still smitten. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. He likely has gotten a bit quicker but he was never as un-athletic as he was portrayed. He just kinda looked like a fat kid due to his oversized t-shirt and our brains are incapable of overcoming that bias. Even after he tested middle of the road athletically pre draft people were still acting like he was a stiff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  23. I read a different article that stated it wasn't that Arians was opposed to Rod as the coordinator, he just knew there was no way Rod would stay if asked and that Emery was out of touch in that regards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Rookie PF in crowded front court gets 6 minutes in first game would be a not crazy expectation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Maybe coaching staff? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
