I agree. Most of the owners are very content to spend other people's money while they maximize their own money with other investments.

I think it is fair to say that the value of RT has increased over time as defenses are more willing to move their pass rushers around now. Offenses are also more willing to more their TE around, taking away the chip help for the RT. So yeah, modern RT's need to be more athletic and better pass...

You would think that, yet they appear to not be there. I think the min seats is like 70,000. And someone said they are talking less than that for football.

What is the minimum seating capacity to host a Superbowl? If they don’t meet that, then someone needs to be fired.

Yeah, I was not trying to make a big deal of it. Although I will add, again, not a big deal but I would not admit to only hitting 40% of my throws in the drill either right before the draft.

I think you forgetting another aspect of this - allegedly, Cousins recruited Mooney to Atlanta as well. In addition to the other aspect of it potentially affecting the trade value they might have gotten for Fields. So yes, I care as a Bears fan, because the Bears were affected by the tampering...

Soldier Field lost the National Landmark status on the last stadium renovation.

I would argue that it affected the Bears too. If Cousins had stayed with the Vikings, there is a reasonable chance that the Bears trade Fields to Atlanta for better compensation than they got from Pittsburgh.

It's essentially giving the Vikings, a division rival, a 'free' trade up into the top 10 and right in front of the Bears. You think that doesn't matter? The previous pick swap stuff that went on was in like the 3rd or 4th rounds. That area of the draft is much less impactful to the...

Eh, no solution is going to be perfect. Someone will probably argue that the teams having picks 1-7 didn't get any benefit so it's not fair to them. The dumbest idea I saw floated on twitter somewhere was a pick swap between the Falcons and the Vikings for 8 and 11. That would truly be unfair...

Didn't know where to put this and did not feel like starting a whole new thread for it. But apparently, by his own words, Philip Rivers out threw Drake Maye in a training drill. Not necessarily a big deal, but at the same time...not sure I would admit that right before the draft. Seems like a...

Was there anything referenced in the Schefter ESPN report about possible penalties? Or was it just saying something expected this week before the draft?

Yeah, Zach and a 7th for a 6th. Also read that the Jets had to agree to pay some of the salary as well.

Yeah, I don't get any sort of comparison of Burrow to Daniels. Burrow's last year at LSU he had 4% better completion percentage, about 1900 more yards passing, and 20 more TD's. Plus a national title and that LSU team with Burrow leading the charge that destroyed the competition. It's not...

That's not what they are talking about though. The Ben Volin trade being mentioned here and other places on Bears twitter right now is #3 for #9, #75, a 2025 1st, and a 2025 3rd. I just think that is way too rich and that MHJ, while special, is not that much more special than Nabers or Odunze.
