Bearstalk

Per Vaughn McClure's twitter, VJax and Avril were our top 2 targets, but Avril is tagged. I don't put a ton of stock in this, as I really don't think Emery is leaking things yet. There was another suggestion from one of McClure's earlier tweets than the info might have come from a player, which would make it seem like it's just speculation. But hey, it's a juicy rumor!

............crickets chirping.............

I went to look at the odds ( draftkings) on who ends up with Justin . I was surprised to see it was the Bears. +100 Atlanta was at +140 in second. Personally I think Poles keeps Fields and takes the draft haul. ( not trying to argue that point) but I thought odds would be great going somewhere else , it's not. I'll keep track of the odds, I was going to put my money where my mouth is and bet 100 on him staying.

3-2 in 2025, should be 3-1 this year, that Week 1 loss to McCarthy still stings. Still feels great to get a win and go into the bye at 2-2.

I don't think I have ever been this unexcited about Bears playoff football. This is a 5-win team that fell out of a dumpster fire to make the playoffs. I would be shocked if the Bears look any different than they did against the Packers. Saints 31-13

If you like the draft, mock drafts, and tons of crazy trade down scenarios, then first-pick.com is the site for you. I've just touched on the tip of the iceberg, and this is what I came away with after multiple trades: 1.9 - Jamal Adams, S, LSU 2.7 - Cam Robinson, OT, Bama 2.21 - Adoree Jackson, CB, USC 2.27 - Evan Engram, TE, Miss 3.6 - Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy 3.9 - Dalvin Tomlinson, DE, Bama 3.14 - Zay Jones, WR, ECU 3.36 - Kevin King, CB, Wash 4.4 - Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Nova 4.10 - Davis Webb, QB, Cal 5.11 - Ryan Switzer, WR, UNC 6.10 - Chad Kelly, QB, Miss 7.2 - Ben Boulware, ILB, Clem I know that's ridiculous, but I just wanted to…

from profootballtalk.com BEARS DON’T PLAN TO ADD A BACK Posted by Mike Florio on June 18, 2008, 11:06 p.m. With 2005 first-round draft pick Cedric Benson now having plenty of time to captain a ship under the influence of Captain Morgan, the Chicago Bears have one less running back on the roster. But they don’t plan to fill that void. More specifically, they don’t plan to fill it by signing a veteran like Shaun Alexander or Ron Dayne. “We don’t have any plans to do that,” Smith said. “From Matt [Forte’] to Adrian Peterson to Garrett Wolfe, to P.J. Pope, Matt Lawrence, we like all of our players and those are the ones that we’re going with.” Then …

This is immediately my favorite hire.

Evidently they already have some offers but are working hard to maximize and get more in return. I've said it before and I'll say again, he'll be gone and we'll get more than we expected for him. There is zero QB market out there and it is a weaker QB draft (that said, Its all a freaking crapshoot anyway when it comes to QB's, imo).

The OL, according to Tice, will be Webb-Williams-Garza-Louis-Carimi. Uh oh..

ChrisHarrisNFL Breaking News- I will be traded to Chicago Bears. Carolina u have been great and deeply missed. I have a special place in my heart for you

Its almost that time of year again so I figured I would start gauging interest for fantasy football. We have our Talkbears keeper league with I believe 9 returning and 1 spot available. I want to get confirmation from everyone in the league before we let new people join. We will also have free leagues for anyone wishing to play. So if you are interested in playing this year please post in this thread and we will see what kind of interest we have and how many leagues we will need.

I'm hearing that Williams' house was raided after the week 1 game, and that today authorities raided Halas Hall as well in connection to Williams. I'm also hearing that Eberflus cried when he heard what the charges were. Only a few things fit. All are ugly. This isn't good at all. In a football sense it probably won't hurt us much. But it's gonna be a big scandal it seems.

I love Justin Fields and think he is going to be a good QB. I woke up listening to the SCORE this morning and the sports DJ , a former Chicago guy, now working in Cleveland has made the best case for our QB situation. 4042-26-5. That is a good season for a QB. Alex Smith was a good QB and KC drafted Mahomes anyways. He sat him for a yr and then Mahomes got his shot. Poles came from KC. No matter how you want to look at it Justin , he is not going to be Joe Burrows, Williams has the chance to do that. You dont have to hate Justin Fields like half the fan base to think another QB can be better. The DJ used Baker Mayfield as an example, Cleveland drafted him to be the …

Looks like Hester will be gone, just saw this Rapoport article stating that the Bears will not try to re-sign Hester

I don't think this has been posted yet but here's PFFs list of potential free agent offensive tackles and their PFF grade.. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/...ensive-tackles/ 6 of the guys with positive grades are LTs Ryan Clady +26.9 - With P. Manning there I can't see him going no where Will Beatty +22.4 - If New York can restructure some contracts he'll be back Branden Albert +13.8 -Chatter in KC is they may take Joeckel 1st and Albert doesn't wanna move to guard. Sam Baker +11.6 -Can't find anything King Dunlap +7.1 -Probably a goner Jermon Bushrod +1.5 -Probably a goner J'marcus Webbs grade?? 0.…

Seems like a possibility...

I started the league a little earlier as I will traveling for the next few weeks and didn't want to wait until then to get this up and running. https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/81323?pspid=782200906&activity=league 9 out of 10 teams confirmed for this year before the end of last season, with one team in need of a new GM (drafting 4th). I will need to re-confirm with those 9 and bring on one new GM. So if anyone is interested in joining our Keeper league, just let me know. Current League Fields of Dreams (Adam) MotM (Steve) Nips&Tips (JTCStone) Nopper (Bill) PapaBear (Kam) SAVAGEw/LOOSEMORALS! (Brad) The Bunny…

Everyone knows who the first pick is. What happens at 9 is the question. This is my take and why. 1) Caleb Williams- no brainer 9) trade with LV to 13 and also get pick 77 13). Trade with Cinn to 20 and get pick 80 20) Chop Robinson / Chop is raw but has speed and off the chart athletics. Played the a true DE position and will only be 21 this year. 6'3" 255 at 4.48 speed RAS score 9.69 75) Mo Kamara/ edge highly productive , 6'2" 250 at 4.57 speed. Compares to Brandon Graham RAS 8.82 77) Tez Walker/ WR natural playmaker with 4.36 speed. 18 TDs in last 20 games RAS 9.87 80 )Tanor Bortolini /…

What more do you need to see? How many more games are going to lose because of coaching? No team pulls losses from the jaws of victory like the Bears. This one, at home, against your supposed #1 rivals, for a chance to stay in the playoff hunt. Instead you lose in another miserable fashion to lose your 4th straight. Btw, GB blocked a FG kick last week to win, so you had to know they were good at it and should not have taken any risks with a long kick, but what do I know. I am so sick of Flus, more than any coach that I can remember. Loved Lovie, didn't mind Nagy, just didn't like his play calling, but Flus is on a whole nother level of suck. We are now in Year …
