This is hilarious. Nobody said anything bad about DJ until you started slurping his jock. Yes, this is about #25 and I mentioned trading DJ for someone if we can't get Wyatt we need at 25. You made it a fanboy post. Now you want to blame others for hijacking it. My opinion of DJ was in another post and you drug it over. I'm not taking the heat for you not understanding how English composition works.

I didn't know where to stick this. I have seen some people ( not on here) wanting to badmouth the bears for moving without having the debt paid off on Soldiers field. This clears that up.

Lucky you do a good job of explaining your thoughts but let me clear this up. I think DJ is a valuable member of the team, you don't have to but it comes down to, it's about what the bears want to do. If it works out, they value the cap space and a third round pick better, I'm all in . It doesn't mean I have to agree with someone else's opinion on a quitter label. For everyone that doesn't like the term, whipping boy, take that up with Olin kruetz, those are his words. I follow him on X , I would love to see his reaction.

We are going to have some new coaches because teams want the BJ tree and already starting this year. I trust them to replace assistants. I watched a lot of podcasts yesterday, someone mentioned, Adam Hoge, that instead of putting Theo back at LT he moved Thuney there. Clearly showing how valuable he thinks that is. I think it will be BPA available between LT and DT. We will draft a LT in the few couple of picks. Poles is not stupid he's going to get what BJ wants. This will be a defensive draft overall but also a LT.

Yes and I’m very curious who we draft this year. Last year went well with a better coaching staff. Can we repeat in year two?

The NFL and NBA has a majority of black players not because of race but because they are the best at what they do. I wish society would use that metric when applying to anything. I never complain because they're not a lot of Croatians in the NFL , I'm okay with it.

This thread is #25 and we are talking about DJ? You always make good points instead of arguing about a player value. The bear's could care less what we as fans think about DJ. Their opinion is all that matters.

Olin kruetz used the term whipping boy, I just repeated it. If you don't like the comment, @olin_kruetz is his Twitter account. Let's keep this simple, it's okay to find value in a player you may not like. Im not here to discuss DJ's flaws. All we have are opinions until the bears choose what to do. Then we can say I was right or you were right about a player. That actually doesn't matter to me. Because he is being paid the most on the team is what generates about what to do with him. If BA doesn't want him here and wants him traded, I'm all in. I trust BJs opinions over fan opinions. If he thinks Walker will be a plus wide out, get us assets and cap space. We are winning now. Rome was hurt a lot this year, Burden had some games off, depth mattered and I would say without DJ we might have lost a couple of those games and not made the playoffs. Find a trade partner, get a replacement, it's just not as easy as playing FF. I'm no longer arguing with you over using words like ( simplistic and childish ways) . Why you want to fight all the time?

In the past we were always rebuilding the team at this time because we were losers, that is gone now. The bear's are now a playoff contender and I don't think it's rebuild mode but tweek time. I don't see them doing several major moves. One big surprise and I think we all see Edmunds gone.

That is probably what he would bring back, a 3rd rounder. Find a trading partner.

He has some talent but like AZ said he has an elite QB, maybe our coaches can get more out of him. If I remember his catch rate is bad , we already have Rome on the team,not sure we could have two of them.

I posted the video to show Brady choosing Caleb's throw as the best of the year, and wanted to use your terminology to describe the WR. I didn't want to use the term I wanted to say so you don't think I'm just a player fan.

The number one talent needed to be successful is showing up to work. Unfortunately I'm so old I know that there is much more fire behind this smoke than just a single event being late to a meeting. His stats this season with an elite QB throwing him the ball back that up. While I know people can change, more often than not I find that a tiger never changes its stripes. Now I'm not saying I'd never touch him. I'd be willing to take a chance but wouldn't be banking on him being anything higher than WR5, or perhaps WR4, on my roster...and that comes on a no-risk contract. https://billswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bills/2025/11/29/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-keon-colemans-second-missed-game-scratch-nfl/87523218007/ The team confirmed it was a disciplinary decision. Coleman was late to a team meeting on Friday and was inactive on Sunday because of that.

Just trading DJ and Edmunds alone would increase our cap by $31M If you trade sweat, thats another $17M of cap space and another 3rd round pick. If you trade Jaylon Johnson, thats another $6.5M and probably at least a 2nd round pick. We'd get another $10M each if we could trade Dayo and/or Garrett, but i dont imagine we would have any takers, and the benefit of cutting them is much smaller. Kmet would get us another $8M, but i feel like he might just be a little overpriced. If they want to keep him, that works too. I think hes a little expensive, hes been a decent TE2, and usually those dont get paid $11.6M. It could go either way. If you could get a 2nd rounder for him, i think you do it. So you can trade DJ, Edmunds, Sweat and JJ for $54.5M in cap space and a 2nd, two 3rds and a 4th. I would do all of that, pick up a big name edge rusher like Crosby or Garrett, and draft DL. Add in Booker, Shemar Turner and Dexter at nose, and you might have the makings of a plan. We would need help at 3T, LB, CB and S but we'd have room and picks for that. It's a bold move, cleaning house like that, but I think thats exactly the kind of thing Johnson will want to do.

If there's a chance to bring in Crosby in a trade, I'd consider to free up the money.

I laughed at Detroit for drafting Gibbs and then that ILB a few years ago round 1, so I get it. But would you rather have Gibbs or Swift if you had a choice? Its Gibbs for me, but no I wouldn't want to use a 1st, but a 3rd I can live with. The Bears oline was rebuilt, looked great except for Ozzys injury and now being out for most of the year. If Johnson sees a RB that would pair well with Monongai, I wouldnt be surprised if that happens. Swift will stick around next season but they will invest in another sooner than later to have a #1 guy by 2027. .

Like always, I’m opposed to a RB with just about any day 1 pick, and most day 2 picks. Build the OL - as we have seen - and late round RBs can excel. Besides, RBs are not a real need at this point, they age like milk in the sun, and there are bigger holes to fill.

Respectfully disagree. He can obviously win jump balls, knows how to find soft spots in the zone, can fight through contested catches, excels at the back should reception, has very sure hands, and is difficult to tackle. He reminds me in many ways of Brandon Marshall. Watch this and tell me you don’t see talent.

I thought of this today watching Brandon Cooks talk about him on GMFB. The owner pretty much punked him out. He's made plays, but it looks like his mentality isn't there yet. Cooks said he's a great young man that is still learning how to be a professional. Maybe year three and life lessons will do the trick...

This past week, when Mike Tomlin resigned from being head coach of the Steelers, some professional race hustler and national commentator accused the Steelers of being a racist organization. So, um, the owners are the Rooneys, famous for creating the Rooney rule? So definitely not racist. In fact all these teams want to win and make money more than they care about ANYTHING else, especially race. I think the some people in this national discussion have good motives, and some have bad ones. But all in all the idea that the NFL is racist is laughable. Certainly there are racist people in this world, but I wonder if creating special categories for people based on race doesnt do more to feed the race baiters such as the commentator I mentioned than it does to solve anything with good people of all races. I feel the same about DEI. Racism sucks. Race baiters suck. I dont think the NFL is racist, but I think because of their willingness to bow to some of these demands, it just invites more accusations of racism by those who arent concerned with fairness, but just want to make political points. And then there is the question of how Black is someone? If they have one Black parent is that enough? What about a single Black grandparent? People like Hitler and the KKK were asking those same questions. This is a farce. But all that said, if some stupidity gets us two 3rd round picks, then Ill take them.

Maybe he’s just not as good as the others? Maybe not the best at relaying his ideas, his plans, the future of prospective organizations? Who knows? From his first year as a scout in 2013 to being even considered for GM jobs seems like a fairly meteoric rise. These are billions of dollars being discussed with NFL organizations. Do you really believe they care more about the racial percentage of someone in a GM role when 75% of their players are black and there are billions of dollars on the line?

He’s not any good. It’s just as soon roll with a draft pick

I don’t how the specifics would work, but given the disparity in contracts, maybe the Bears should call Buffalo and talk to them about a DJ Moore for Keon Coleman trade. That would get DJ’s primary money off the Bears, remove an issue (for those who believe it to be), and do the same for the Bills. I could see how both sides may view this as win-win. Thoughts on this?

There is far too much over analysis of the DJ Moore situation focused on one or two plays. Everyone saw the pouty guy last year. New coaches come in and the first thing they tell him is to clean up his body language and effort. Every player was told to improve effort. Luther Burden too. Big plays, toughness, good hands… there are plenty of positives DJ brings to our team. Players may take routes off when it’s not their turn. I don’t like that. What I despise is when you make a mistake or see the mistake on the throw and you quit hustling and just let the safety get the INT uncontested. Personally I don’t have that give up gene in me and I’d have been diving on top of the DB to break up the pass. Personal quibbles aside this is purely a roster construction decision for me. The WR group will be better with DJ next year but if another option presents itself where the Bears overall are better without him then do it.

X2. 16 Mil for the D, plus a pick. Cut Edmunds to get money and get better without another transaction.(Sarcasm for the sensitive)
