Lol. A bit of tension in that room

I never understood not resigning him and paying Sanders so much instead when he didn't sign for near as much with the Bears.

Seriously, everything Tepper decides on is garbage. I know he’s not referenced in this, but he hired fitt

meh... i dont read too much into that. A coach and a GM are not always going to agree on players. Do we know that Fitt DIDNT offer him a contract?

Wasn't it Staley who pushed for Sanders? Once that happened, pretty much closed the door on Foreman.

We all assumed that because of the connection

That Scott Fitterer guy was awful. Good thing we cleaned house and didn't keep the scouting dept and hire his best friend to replace him.

At the very least, he would’ve had to OK the deal. I can’t imagine we would’ve signed of running back if the running back coach didn’t like him.

I think Fitterer simply signed the biggest names he could at WR and RB to sell to the fanbase…….to try to mask how bad his CMC and Moore trades were. 

Coming off the Rhule nightmare and then trading away our best 2 players….he had felt obligated to throw names at us to lessen the blowback.   And it worked. All star coach narrative throwing random coaches together.  They falsely claimed Miles was a 3 down RB despite Philly parting with him because he wasn’t, etc

Good Lord, did Fitterer make ANY good decisions?  Everything he touched went straight to poo. 

Can't use the Fhule excuse now, dumbass.

13 month old tweet we already discussed last year.

They're both gone now.

Yes I realized that after I posted it

no idea why it showed up in my feed today 

regardless I believe it further shows the disconnects in the front office   I don’t recall seeing this specific comment from Duece either

This happens all the time across the NFL, not hard to imagine whatsoever.
