I will upgrade forum software here before the draft - this will be planned - probably will be a day outage and I’ll give forum a heads up once we shut it down and run through it. So glad we are all back - missed all of our debates and dialogue and discussion.

Free agency recap: Kentavius Street DL - 1 yr Cam Lewis DB - 2 yr Braxton Jones LT- 1 yr Kalif Raymond WR/KR - 1 yr Neville Gallimore DL - 2 yr Devin Bush LB - 3 yr Cobe Bryant DB - 3 yr Jedrick Willis LT- 1 yr Jordan McFadden OG - 1 yr Case Keenum QB -2 yr DeMarco Jackson LB - 2 yr Elijah Hicks DB - 1 yr Daniel Hardy DL - 2 yr

It’s interesting- whole secondary is almost gone except for the 3 guys who were injured most of the year (JJ and Kyler) and all of the year (Smith) plus Stevenson. Other than that entirely new spots all over the- especially safety, with exception of Smith. All of guys Bears lost signed 1 year deals. Clearly there was a major change the franchise wanted to make and a huge focus seems to be on speed. One of our starting safeties appears to be a rookie via draft and we also appear to have another need still via draft for DB. Similarly expect the same on dline - where we will use a pick or two early (at least one).

Wanted him back to help get the next wave of young safeties up to speed. The Bears will be investing in one with day one or two picks.

Thank you for fixing it!

I lost the site on Tuesday, I think. Kept getting dns server not finding. It is a lost feeling not keeping up with you all. Thoughts on creating a Facebook group or something for another form of communicating? I am happy to see this site open, thank you!

I think it is back. If you run into issues clear your cache.

I’m not sure what happened - still trying to unwind it so site could go back down. Server company did something on back end to update something and it’s crashed the whole site. Been working on fixing it for a few days - so appreciate the patience and apologies for the outage. Hopefully close to having it fixed

Im not really counting Willis as an option per se. i think he's more like a pet project for Roushar. Ive seen some atrocious film on this guy, but he was great in college and has all the tools. If the right LT dropped to us at the right time in the draft, none of them stop us from taking them. That said, I fully expect the 25th pick to either trade down or take someone on the DL.

Don't use reverse psychology on me...🤪🍻

Seems like with three at least potential in-house LT options (Wills, Braxton, and Kiran) and Ozzy hopefully coming back next year, I very much doubt LT is in play in the first for the Bears.

This one hurts. I think we'll miss him.

He's got tools, but he was awful in the NFL. Maybe Dan Roushar can reclaim him, so this is a smart move for sure, but I wouldnt assume we will get anything out of it. Call it a cheap lottery ticket.

This is very welcome news. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jedrick-wills/32005749-4c62-6320-8b63-20c37d057bf8

Former 1st round pick OT coming to Chicago. 10th overall pick in 2020 after playing at Alabama.

What's nice about discussions is we get to see what happens in real time.

Sounded like he had an offer from Bears and Pats - ended up choosing to reunite with Vrabel. Wish him the best. Was hoping we'd keep him. Fact we were still talking to him tells me we may still add a vet safety yet. I still think a 1yr deal with Brisker could make some sense. Maybe give him some upside with incentives and allow him to hit the market again next year.

Supposedly the Colts had an offer on the table for Hendricks and once the Baltimore opp popped up, he took it. So they may be in the worst position because at least the Raiders have Crosby still. The Colts have neither.

Amen, that is absolutely nuts. I feel like there should be some sort of punishment whether it's losing draft picks or something. If I'm the Raiders I'm ticked because now their return will be far less than before the Baltimore trade agreement. Other teams who pivoted elsewhere are now having to figure out if they can or want to get back into the mix. For Crosby it sucks getting jerked around, he'll certainly have a chip on his shoulder whenever he faces the Ravens.

Poles wouldn't be doing his diligence if he didn't see what the new asking price would be. I was not down with aquiring him for 2 firsts. But that price has to have gone down. If we can get him for a much better deal then that's a win.

Funny how quickly Hendrickson came off his 40mil/yr asking price.

C'mon man. Dayo is a DE, unless in a NASCAR package and Turner was drafted to be a 3T that can move outside on run downs. Completely situational.

He rarely puts out insider info, so it will be interesting to watch.
