Upgrade is complete. Let me know if anyone runs into any issues. New software seems pretty slick!

I just realized the Forum Guidelines are not posted at the top of the page (fixing that now), but these are up at all the sister sites, so just to be clear these are the policies of the site owners, and as moderators and administrators, we have to ensure members are abiding by these simple rules to ensure all members can enjoy the site. Forum Guidelines The administrators and moderators of Talkbears.com have created a new discipline policy for the boards. There are no exemptions to these policies. New posters, long time posters, moderators and administrators will all expected to follow this policy. Slurs and crude sexual terminology will not be toler…

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

Jonathan Allen is being released with a lot of money in his pocket. Would he play for 2 years at 16 mil?

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.

Bears are signing DT Neville Gallimore 2 year 12 mil deal per sources.

Tomorrow the site will be down for a scheduled upgrade. Probably around noon central time - hopefully up by the evening.

Testing 123

Ravens back out of the deal - will be interesting to see what the new going rate for Crosby is.

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2026/03/bears-to-sign-wr-kalif-raymond#ref=home $5mil is a lot for a returner. Gotta think Duvernay is gone and maybe he replaces the role OZ had too.

Another solid depth piece, looks to fill the McCloud role (who was burnt way too much when he was on the field), so this may be bigger upgrade than face value.

Seems like a lower-end depth piece. Played a year with DA in 2022 in NO, so there is some inside knowledge on what he brings.

Bears sign Braxton to a 1 year deal.

I found a new draft simulator. I dunno if its good or realistic, but Ive enjoyed playing around with it. Of course, without Free Agency it can only mean so much. But I keep drafting 1 DT Kayden McDonald Ohio State 2 Edge Zion Young Missouri 3 ILB Jacob Rodriguez Texas Tech I havent done any homework, so I might love or hate these guys in a couple months LOL Anyway, heres the site: https://sticktothemodel.com/draft/simulator

Garrett Bradberry - Patriots Friend and old teammate of Joe Thuney Didn't give up a sack Costs a 2027 5th.

Bears are signing Seattle S, Colby Bryant. Good signing, plays both SS/FS.

I heard today that AZ Cardinals are interested in Bagent. ( Probably bullsh**). So the question is if we could get a 3 Rd pick for him, would you trade him? The story suggested a 2nd but that seems unrealistic. I think this year they keep the offensive players together for continuity issues. Maybe one might be gone but majority so we can go be aligned to have the best offense in the league. Every time a player becomes available a bunch of pundits have them coming to the bears. Poles never lets information out so when say, they have sources, bullsh**.

To the Ravens. For two firsts.

I think Tremaine Edmunds is going to get cut soon. Whether we cut him or trade him, whether before or after June 1st, the result is the same. We will open up $15M in Salary Cap space. Of course I'd rather get something for him, even a 7th rounder, but if a team trades for him, they'll be on the hook for the $15M this year, and I don't see anyone paying him that much. It's possible if two (or more) teams want him AND can restructure him in a longer term deal to something more appropriate, then maybe we could get some value in trade, but I think it's much more likely that teams will just wait for us to cut him. There's no real benefit in waiting, and we …
