The best trade we ever made few years ago. A guy put his body on the line for us so many games and took that leadership position, passing it on to Beason.

The only guy to voice his displeasure this offseason about the direction we were taking and was traded for voicing his opinion.

Not to mention he was always available for regular fans to talk to on his facebook, twitter and youtube accounts. He always visited this board because our opinion mattered to him.

f**k Peppers, here's to Chris Harris

I love'd me some Chris Harris while he was here.

That hit he laid on Brandon Jacobs inside the 3 that knocked Jacobs back on SNF with the number 1 seed on the line will be forever etched in my mind.

Bears fans, on the other hand, haven't been too thrilled with his performance this year, much to the chagrin of CRA.

The season the Bears traded Chris to the Panthers, the Bears played a Thursday night game. I went up to a local sports bar in Ballantyne to watch the game and was the lone Bears fan in there watching. Chris comes in shortly after and sits down beside me at the bar. I glance over and immediately recognize him and say, "Hey Chris, welcome to Charlotte" and shook his hand and we proceeded to have a great conversation there throughout the game talking about the Bears, talking about the game that was on- hearing him talk about the formations the Bears were in lead me to believe he'll be great in a booth or studio whenever he retires. He was a very, very cool guy and the conversation was just like any you'd have at a bar with the guy sitting beside you. It was cool. Best part about it was that nobody there had any idea who he was! lol

yeah. :50 in. I also forgot he was the one that made that hit on Caddy when he tore his ACL the second time

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
