As AZ stated this next off season will be the reset with more flexibility next year. As much I think this will be a successful year, next year should be the run to the SB. It would be nice if we surprising get farther this year. I wonder how many of these big player trades actually get their team to the SB? So far it didnt work out for GB and Khali Mack didnt get us very far. The Rams almost made it their last year so it makes more sense for a team like that than most teams. I very interested in seeing if the Rams make it to the SB.

I might believe that if it was Portillos Italian beef sandwiches. Arby’s? That’s fake news.

Looks like Cleveland tried to trade him to the Bears.

Yes. Now I'm seeing videos Aaron Donald staying in game shape.

Guess this is as good a place as any to post this, since it is OTA season, and yet Burden is lighting it up despite some off-the-field distractions. Luther Burden is getting married! Bears’ WR Luther Burden III and Girlfriend Kendall Announce Major Personal News

It appears the Bears were never players in this. If we do something at DE it will be of the economical variety. Poles is holding his powder for next year when he’ll have a lot of flexibility. We could be in for a wild off-season if he decides to trade some assets like Jaylon Johnson, Kmet,etc. Pro Football RumorsMyles Garrett Fallout: Schwartz, Eagles, QuotesFollowing this afternoon's stunning Myles Garrett trade, we're learning new details.

This is their GMs MO. He did it once and it worked.

Concur. Getting extra first round picks is almost always the smart move.

Great trade for the Browns and their future. It's only great for the Rams if they win the Superbowl.

Not so fond memories of those smells as we drove through that area when I was a kid. It’s a shame because I was very much looking forward to the big site in Arlington. It would have been perfect to fly in and stay there for a weekend game.

Wow. I figured something was going to happen with him. Rams have to be the favorite in the NFC now.

Per NFL.com:

Jared Verse + first round pick+ other considerations. ( reported by Rapoport)

My dad was from a town in Wisconsin that had a paper mill and the smell was gross. Going back these days, its 1000 times better. Tons of properties in the state were poluted from industries and they always clean it up. IF in Indiana, its not going to be a problem.

With all this talk about taxpayer cost, they fail to mention the money the Bears will make for the state. No property tax collected being in Indiana. The sale taxes, and other fees the state will collect being in AH. The amount of jobs they will produce for the state. Indiana is in a better fiscal position to do the Bears stadium but know how much income the state will bring in from the Bears. The govt still owes 500 mil on the refurbish from years ago of which the Bears paid off their debt. One of the worst run states in the union as a governing body. Personally Im a Bears fan wherever they end up granting AH would be better for me being in the Rockford area. Now they can just start the stadium in Hammond and we can end this political speak.

The only thing I'm concerned about is not Indiana, but the location in Indiana. I am familiar with the odor emitted from oil refineries. I had a job out of Houston in the early 80s and had to service clients along the Gulf. Nasty! The plans for Arlington Heights were magnificent. If built as displayed in their presentation, it would be one of the best stadium complexes in the NFL. However, that design would never work in the location being offered. The business complex, park, etc... would be out. I assume they could prevent the odor from entering the stadium and being an issue, but anything remotely like what was planned for Arlington Heights would be a failure. Heck, I had to air out my car after parking for an extended period while servicing equipment in one of the refinery offices. I wouldn't even want to park in an outdoor parking lot if the odor is as strong as I am led to believe.

What a disaster. Illinois makes up a tax number which is 5 times more than any other NFL pays and the spin it on the Bears for not accepting it. The Bears want a fair tax number, some infrastructure help with roads etc, and that is it. So if they move, that tax that was never collected before goes to Indiana and Illinois saves from the infrastructure contributions the Bears asked for. Seems to me the greedy hands of Illinois are going to lose out for their greed.

They bought the land in AH and then found out they were going to jack the property taxes to an outrageous price. Then Warren comes in to save the day so he checked back with the city and no one was cooperating. Then enter Indiana, a well run state. Here's where we are and it looks like a total sh** show. A poorly run state is never going to give them what they need. HELLO INDIANA

Yes. Indiana has already offered more than Illinois can come up with. The family is trying to be loyal to Illinois at the cost of hundreds of millions. My loyalty would honestly end there.

More like run.

The deadline is approaching and It doesnt look like the great state of Illinois cares about the Bears as much as the wonderful Governor. The Chicago Dems arent supporting the down state Dems because they think if they blow it off, the Bears will come crawling back to Chicago. I think they crawl to Indiana.

Being retired and having a lot of time on my hands I look at everything Bears at least once to see if it has value and it is repetitive. I have several I like and tune the other stuff out. Because of our past of losing regularly, I dont think we trust what is about to happen. We analyze the team and see weaknesses and yes, a lot of questions. The defense was bad last year mainly because of injuries. I think the second year in DA's system will look a lot better with some new players but improvement by people already here. BJ is a maniac and is building this team in his image. Players that love football, non stop motor, physicality and more athletic. Poles is acquiring players with those traits. Yes, he isnt perfect but no GM is . If he finds a UDFA or late round pick that becomes a starter or contributes but misses on a third rounder, its about the end result of upgrading the roster. Being an optimist, I see the maturity of Caleb and turning this into an offensive juggernaut instead of the old Bear teams of good defense and lack of offense. I trust them to fix our questions in their vision and not the pundits and fans view of the pass rush deficiency, ect. IMO we should challenge for a SB spot barring major injuries. Its not a perfect team yet but it will be good enough.

I don't have any social media accounts other than this one. I scan some of the Youtube pundits but most of that is repeatable blabber, except sometimes they highlight their source. My one best source of info is that I watch coaches and players press conferences (better than reading or listening about their comments elsewhere), and on Youtube I definitely watch many of the film breakdowns. Other than that, I might search Chicago Bears news and see if anything interesting pops up. I don't read Heavy hardly ever unless I find something useful pop up elsewhere. In which case I find the source link and post that here.

The Bears do a great job on these post draft videos. It makes you feel good about the players taken and the whole scouting department working together. I am excited to watch the season play out and then the next class of talent come in.

I have a tendency to look at things that normally just pop up on my social media but that never does for some reason. AZ54 has posted stuff from that source before and it does have good content. Good article
