WTF is going on with Goldman?

[Bear_Assed]

Nagy confirmed he was an unexcused absence at today's mandatory mini camp, but would not specify the reason. Dude gets paid, then sits out a season for COVID (understandable). You would think he would be at every practice, optional or mandatory this year to get back in with his team and coaches. WTF is going with this guy.

If he's still scared about COVID, retire.

400 pounds. needs a month and a half in a fat suit and sauna to get right.

We should give the man the benefit of a doubt. You don’t know what he has going on personally. And besides 6 months from now none of this will matter.

How much longer will you be giving him the benefit of the doubt? Through training camp? The whole season? Longer?

If Eddie Goldman retires the Bears would have cap hits of

21: 3.3
22: 3.3

They would save

21: 4.5
22: 8.5
23: 11.4

They could also go after the 6.6 million in signing bonus that hit the cap in 21 and 22 but I have no idea how long it would take to get it.

No showing the offseason is going to cost him 200k in bonuses and fines.

 

[Bears4Ever_34]

I could be wrong, but didn't he have work ethic concerns coming out of college? I know his weight was a problem his rookie year, perhaps he's just lazy af and wants to milk as much time off as possible before the season starts. I would find it laughable if he's still using Covid as an excuse since anybody can get vaccinated now.

Eddie is probably just overweight and needs to drop 20-30 lbs before tc.

 

[GoBears]

My sources say he has "teh Herp."

 

[WindyCity]

Eddie is probably just overweight and needs to drop 20-30 lbs before tc.

But why not show up? Everyone expects him to be fat and no one cares if he is 380 and riding the bike on the side.

He of all people needs to be present after missing a year.

 

[bamainatlanta]

I think everyone expecting Eddie to show up and simply be as good as he was after a year off might be in for a massive letdown if he didn't do physical activity this whole time.

 

[jbunch14]

What part of "mandatory" does Fat Eddie not fucking get?? I just went back to work after 15 months off. Was also mandatory, or don't keep your job.

 

[KittiesKorner]

it's pretty weird though

 

[Bust]

He could be way out of shape and too embarrassed to show, lol.

All the past great ones talk about their "Love For The Game".

I question Goldman's love for football when he voluntarily sits last season and is a no show in camp.

 

[Bearly]

Maybe more than 1 day.

 

[WindyCity]

Eddie retiring might be the best long term.

The Bears can get a bunch of cap space back. Pay Nichols and sign a cheaper NT.

Cause like I said above. 400 pounds.

Im just being hopeful its weight and not injury or a lost of passion after sitting on his arse for a year stuffing face.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Is there anything to suggest that he’s retiring, or even thinking about retiring? Or are we in fantasyland again?

No shit! Where are you getting this retiring crap from???? Assuming I'd guess.
