  1. Bears seriously interested Brock Bowers

    Another hard hitting pre-draft article that makes a few obvious points to infer something is fact when it's actually just speculation. My interpretation of what this article actually says - the Bears will decide between Bowers and Rome at #9, unless Nabers or MHJ are available, or they decide...

  2. Dude Poles handed out Joey Porter Jr. for is about to head to the CFL 😬

    The really irritating thing is that Poles apparently had to up his ante to the Bears #2 instead of Baltimore's #2 in order to outbid the Packers for him. And that was probably just a feint on their part. They really do own us...

  3. Bears give hint for No. 9 pick plans; Braxton Jones about to have a miserable April.

    Sigler's article implies Poles & Flus were giving off hints at a press conference just four weeks ahead the draft about who/what they're going to pick at #9. Don't think so. GM101 & HC101 tells you to never say anything that might hint at your real draft intentions. GMs & HCs typically just...

  4. Getting more picks

    Sorry, but you’re channeling Ryan Pace here…

  5. Getting more picks

    Green Bay has 11 picks in this year's draft, San Francisco has 10, and Baltimore 9. Those three teams have significantly more talented rosters than the Bears. Yet I seriously doubt any of them are concerned about having "too many" draft picks. Why? Because those organizations pretty...

  6. Getting more picks

    A 2025 2nd is probably worth about the same as a 2024 3rd, etc. That's a pretty big loss of value just to scratch an immediate gratification itch. Good GMs draft with the next 5-7 years in mind, not just the upcoming season. I'm sure Poles is not happy about having only four picks this...

  7. Charlie Campbell has the Bears taking Verse at 9

    I have a tough time seeing Verse at #9. The math just doesn't seem to work. Current consensus is QBs go 1-2-3, with someone moving up into the top 6 for McCarthy (or the Giants taking him at #6). Top nine end up being the 4 QBs, the 3 WRs, Alt, & Turner. If it unfolds that way, I'd guess...

  8. Welcome to Chicago Caleb Williams!

    Well, let’s see. In the ‘Welcome to Chicago, Caleb Williams’ thread, we have: - Maybe the Bears really (hopefully?) like one of the other QBs better - Maybe the Bears will trade down with Washington to get the mini-Haul instead - Maybe Caleb will have an incurable disease, or just die, or...

  9. Is Jayden Daniels > Caleb Williams?

    Williams, Maye, & McCarthy are all 3rd year players. Daniels is a 5th year senior, as is Nix. Penix is a 6th year COVID senior. The latter three are all more experienced & physically better developed than the 3rd year guys, and were expected to have looked better last fall. If Daniels came...

  10. Justin Fields “BOMBSHELL” News!!!

    This pretty much says it all...

  11. Caleb Williams not doing "medicals" until his visit to Halas Hall

    It's not groundbreaking stuff because employers normally drive the process. If you want to get hired, you play by the employer's rules. But in this instance, Team Caleb is driving the process. The Bears will accommodate because, well, Team Caleb holds the high ground here. Also, this isn't...

  12. Caleb Williams not doing "medicals" until his visit to Halas Hall

    Team Caleb obviously isn't going to sign a boilerplate medical information release form. Before Caleb visits Halas Hall, there's likely a bit of legal negotiation needed between the Bears and Team Caleb to cover the custody terms of his medical information. I would guess once those Ts & Cs...

  13. Ryan Bates is a Bear

    This morning, Doug Kramer was the only center under contract for 2024. Just ponder that a bit. Tonight, Ryan Bates is currently penciled in as the Bears starting center. He may well end up getting pushed aside by a FA signee or a draft choice. But now Ryan Poles can approach free agency and...

  14. Joe Alt #9

    Don't know if he'll make to #9, but if he does, he's not making it to #10. A potential impact player at the 2nd most important position on the field? Yeah, at #9, you book that...

  15. Looks like Eddie Jackson may be moving on like we all suspected.

    No point to bringing Eddie back, even on a veteran-minimum contract. The only reason he was retained in 2023 was his contract. He's not part of the long term picture here. The Bears aren't going to be a SuperBowl contender in 2024. It's the right time for them to move on at FS and find his...
