It don't matter how much money you have, if the right players don't come to the Bears it will be a problem. You might have made a bit of bad Press with F/A's with the Roquan Smith deal with players so far. I don't know how big an issue it was, but I'll give a big example with the Bulls
Yeah, it was unlikely they were going to get Lebron with his rumored demands of wanted Wade and Bosh to join the team with the whole Heat thing, but I remember the times Pax COULD make a move to get a big player, no one wanted to play in Chicago, not really. so you were looking with players going to ask themselves, do I want to play for the Bears? You'd hope the answer is yes. And don't give me all the glory and history of the Bears, seriously, we are about to go 4 decades without a title, and could be two since we've been to the Superbowl. Yes, other teams have it worse, but if you want to have great history, this is not on your resume as a franchise.
