For entertainment purposes, I was to see a Panther splash. 

However, waiting is not a bad thing--and I am hoping not to see a huge deal today--but I think Morgan will grab his main guy (s) today.

I think after the Gantt and Jeremiah tweet yesterday, they set expectations really high. I’m with you, I’m fine waiting as well.

The Bears have spent the past week revamping their offensive line and they made another HUGE move on Monday with former Falcons center Drew Dalman agreeing to terms on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes $28 million in guaranteed money. Dalman was ranked as the seventh best available free agent on Prisco's top 100. 

Ben Johnson had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL when he was in Detroit and now, he's trying to build the same thing in Chicago. Here's a look at what the Bears have done over the past week: 

March 4: Acquired Jonah Jackson in trade with Rams
March 5: Acquired Joe Thuney in trade with Chiefs 
March 10: Added Drew Dalman in free agency

On paper, the Bears offensive line is already light years better than it was last year.

He said he was doing what we did last year after seeing our results.

FOr those who think free agency is bad, The Eagles spent $275 m in free agency last year.  For the past 5 years, every team that spent the most in free agency won 3 or more games the following year.  Jacksonville, a few years ago, won 6 more games.  Not to say these stats are long-term improvement, but probably more like a cortisone shot.

New England head coach Mike Vrabel continues to add to his defense. The Patriots are signing Robert Spillane, per Ian Rapoport. 

Spillane spent the last two seasons with Las Vegas and played in every game. Last season, he finished with a career-high 158 tackles. Spillane had two sacks and two interceptions.

What we really should want is for the Patriots to strike out at finding an LT.

If they’re able to sign a legit LT, it opens them up to draft BPA, but if they can’t, they’ll all but be forced to draft one there, which means one less player from our board will be drafted before we’re on the clock

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
