Not podcast, but if you are watching the Illinois game tonight. Just heard my wife's nephew is starting at right guard #66, Brandon Hansen. He's only 18 and a complete monster. 6'6 335 and a size 16 shoe. Here's a pic of him at 15yo...

I would think 2 1sts and Dexter is a much stronger offer than what they got. Bears 1st rounders would like be viewed as more valuable than Packers and Dexter is an emerging player who is much cheaper relative to the player Packers have up who has a pretty high / expensive contract and is trending to wrong side of his prime.

I have been looking at a lot of GB fan forums like ours and the ones that like it think Jorden Love is a top 10 QB. A lot of them are leery of it screwing the team up next year and beyond. About like the Bear fans reaction to it. 50% think its bigtime for GB and 50% thinks its a problem.

You're entitled to your opinion and he is a great player, and we dont have a good pass rush. Here is his contract. Look at 2028 https://overthecap.com/player/micah-parsons/9476

Its OK to say Parsons is worth the price, and its Ok to say he isnt. Here are some things that are simply not true: 1) Parson's isnt that good - no hes great. 2) If we signed Parsons, we couldnt resign Caleb in a couple years - not true, the salary cap goes up every year, and one doesnt mean the other 3) you have to be one player away to make this move - no you do something like this when your QB is on their rookie deal, thats the advantage of having a QB on their rookie deal! 4) Our pass rush is fine - no it isnt

ESPN is not the only ones crying. I listen to the SCORE all day and watched several podcasts. I, as you, dont think Love is a good enough QB to win a SB for them. I dont think we were one player away from getting to a SB , where GB thinks they are. This is BJs first year as coach, and I want to see the impact he has on the team. It was a big cost to get Parsons, and it may or may not pay off. Would I like to have him, absolutely but just not the time yet . We are capped out going into next year and I know they can play with the contracts but it would mean , if wrong, we will have a problem resigning Caleb if in fact he becomes worth it. Caleb will have to get paid in 2027 or 2028 and those contracts will over lap.

I've been trying to call the espn1000 show to blow them some shit. Everything they are whining about today is wrong. Jurko took the day off so they lost all common sense. First they said the Bears don't have deep enough pockets to pay that huge signing bonus. Wrong! The NFL shared a record revenue of 432 million per team last year. Do they think the Packers have that and we don't. Then they start crying about he's going to GB and we should've stopped it be signing him. That's not how professional franchise work. Lastly Clark was their best run defender and Parsons will now be their worse. Looking back at huge EDGE acquisitions, the only ones that worked were the ones that had established franchise QBs. Don't make me repeat that. Favre got Reggie White and Aikman got Charles Haley. We got Julius Peppers with sexy Rexy and GB just got Parsons with Love. I hope everyone sees the difference. We aren't ready because Caleb isn't ready. Until we know if he can play, the the big gambles go to the offense.

okay, I'll let him know. I dont think his roster has any good values left to take a 2nd one but I'll ask him anyways. He has a league with a live draft on Tuesday with the MyFantasyDraft website and has to do a big board physically. So with the other 5 leagues he's in , he gets lost for time. Also 3 weeks ago he was coming back from Canada fishing and totaled his vehicle but didnt get hurt.(lucky) So he normally would be paying attention more to his leagues.

Good to go on Thomas for Mike and Bowers for Chad. However, for Herbert, Chad did not draft him in 2024, so he is not eligible as a keeper.

Chad said he would keep Bowers and lose the 8th (9th round pick) and Justin Herbert and lose the lose the 14th ( 16th round pick)

According to OTC the Packers will have 35 mil in dead cap money over the next two yrs for Kenny Clark. Plus his salary which I havent found yet for this year. He was making 24 mil, but dont know how the new money applies. This is a big risk for GB but if it gets them to the SB , they will be praised for it, if they dont GB fans will be whining for the next 5 yrs. https://overthecap.com/micah-parsons-traded-to-the-packers

Scott said he picked one and Mike wants to keep Brian Thomas Jr that he picked in the 10th. I'll message Chad, he's in 6 leagues to remind him to pick one.

Go for it!

What would it have taken for us to get Parsons? 2 firsts is a no-brainer and being they wanted a DT instead of a DE, it probably would have been Dexter plus another 3rd round pick. 2 1s 1 3rd Dexter

I think everyone was happy we got BJ and all our new coaches. We have not seen one snap of the new season yet. and some people are nervous. I think our preseason showed us a lot of good things going forward. If you want to say KCs starters are better than our starters, I could have told you that 4 months ago. Here is a good discussion by some intelligent people about the trade. David Haugh is annoying so be ready for that.

A little humor never hurt anybody.

Do you mind if I steal (it all starts up front) for a fantasy football team name? I loved when Jim Finks came here and built the team that way.

How many times this year have you said (we should have drafted). I get the criticism of who we have but you cant change the draft by whining every week about who we could have got. I am a Bears cheerleader and hope who we did draft or acquired does well. I accept the reality of what we have and not whine about who we could have had. You act like I never criticize anyone we have and that is simply not true. I will try to whine about our weaknesses more so we can be buddies again.

Za'Darius Smith is the best one available.

I still think the Bears bring in a vet Edge because of the Booker injury, and another RB.

Crazy to see this sequence again. Bears down by 10 with 1:11, scored 10 pts in 19 seconds and still lost in OT. This was in the middle of the losing streak. With Johnson, there is no way the Bears lose this game. This was a Flus special.

So the trade off is Van Ness and Clark to Parsons and Wooden. So the overall upgrade is less because you have a downgrade at DT with the upgrade at Edge and backup Edge.

I'll talk to them them today and get them for you. I dont think any of them follow this forum.
