  1. reminder that the bears wanted Brian burns, could’ve shipped the disgruntled player off then and kept the offensive piece who was already under contract (and loved this team) for your rookie QB
  2. I absolutely theorize that they have some super secret diamond in the rough they’ve discovered that is helping justify these decisions also, every other team has discovered this guy and he will go way before the panthers
  3. I see what they’re doing by transplanting resources from defense to offense, but this doesn’t really feel like the “we’ve got a rookie QB contract” move ala Jalen Ramsey to rams or tyreek hill to dolphins type. they’re just trying to get to a baseline, interior line is a position you can get great players at early 2nd, and now they’re going to have to take swings at lower % positions in those rounds they were going to have to take chances because they’ve shipped away so many great players for such little in return, but this isn’t a calculated one. Feels more like they’re trying to make a statement about COMMITTING TO OFFENSE or whatever.
  4. they just spent 100 million dollars on a guard lol at anyone that thinks they’re tanking
  5. I want to see Derrick brown moved to a major media market team in exchange for a 4th and 6th round pick we’ve got to continue doing our part to help keep the league’s legacy teams afloat
  6. lol we have the top pick in every round, which direction could we possibly go? Did Morgan move down in the 3rd to seal the deal?
  7. Teams know they can come to us to get good players at fire sale prices
  8. doesn’t really sell with me friend. We’re talking about giving up our only remaining pass rusher against an supposed deep crop of bidders. You drive the price up as long as possible. The cap will be fine in the interim. signing those replacement pass rushers makes you look less desperate to get something done, but here we are again with the team telegraphing that they have to get some thing done. “It doesn’t bother me if this doesn’t happen” is the most empowering position of any negotiation and hedge fund guy had persistently failed to perceive this in the football world
  9. “more teams are involved” then why are we discussing settling, what is the apparent rush to get this done
  10. I’m sure the giants 70th overall pick will replace both him and Burns effectively
  11. why trade now? why not at the last trade deadline or the upcoming one when teams tend to buy higher? what fanciful draft night trade have they convinced themselves they’re going to pull off with a couple extra twos that they’re going to get burned on when that “secret” player they think they’ve discovered gets drafted way higher than they’re expecting?
  12. This franchise is honestly a dream come true for the league. How many pro bowlers have we offloaded to the legacy teams for pennies on the dollar? Derrick Brown is gonna look so good in black and gold.
  13. ah yes, the ole “equivalent value” we were sold when they gave the OPOY away to another big market franchise for the media to coo and squeal over
  14. They’re not parting with their 1st so there’s no real reason to negotiate with the giants.
  15. he has to be close to some kind of record for most head coaches played with for one team
  16. could you imagine the shot of life that a player like mccaffery could’ve been to a rookie QB with a porous offensive line could have been i recall at a lot of points especially prior to the reich firing that we didn’t even deploy a back as a check down option
  17. some stooge for some big market team thought he was about to plunder the dumb little market team with the stupid owner for a great player and he’d get lots of butt pats for it and when he realized it wasn’t going to happen he got mad, these guys always feel like they’re entitled to players on bad teams and throw a fit when it doesn’t happen “adapt to present circumstances” the circumstances: Burns nets a first plus or we just simply elect to keep a good player at a premium position. Pay the asking price.
  18. I think we’ve all seen firsthand that trading a good player for a 2/3/4 isn’t really worth the compensation
  19. If this isn’t the kind of player you “break the bank” for then who is? were discussing under the pretense of a player swap including burns anyways.
  20. No that was just me spamming threads with my disappointment, a very large portion of the people here were thrilled
  21. Clearly I was making fun of you not the team
