Tribune

By Brad Biggs http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2009/...-cap-bears.html It is detailed in Sunday's Tribune how the Bears have $4.63 million remaining in available salary-cap room for the final month of the season, space that general manager Jerry Angelo could put to use for next year, in the event the NFL proceeds with a capped system. Salary-cap numbers for individual players do not represent how much money they are earning each year. Rather, they are a reflection of how much room the player takes up under the cap. Think of it as one big pie, the whole of which is $135.9 million for the Bears. Quarterback Jay Curter is the biggest piece in the pie w…

http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2017/10/19/b...football-focus/ Our defense has been under the radar this season, overshadowed by the horrendous play of Glennon and the slow start with Trubisky. I'm not sure if I'd put us in the top 5 league-wide yet but the performance against Baltimore was impressive.

01a - David Terrell: say what u like 01b - Anthony Thomas: always liked him, but not much of a player 02 - Marc Columbo: never started a game for Bears probably, of course now with Cowboys 03a - Rex Grossman: showed his true colors (Bad rex) 03b - Berard Berrian: probably best WR weve had in 10 years, let go to rival 05a - Cedric Benson: biggest RB bust all bears time (seabass) 05b - Mark Bradley: injury prone before during and after draft (vagina) 06 - Devin Hester: best return man of all time 07 - Greg Olsen: i think hes a star 08 - Chris Wiliams: injured, untypical player bears should target (baby huey) great job staff

The trade was made. Panthers are now on the clock Compensation update, per sources: Bears trading No. 1 overall pick to Carolina for: ?pick No. 9 ?pick No. 61 ?a first-round pick in 2024 ?a second-round pick in 2025 ?WR DJ Moore

gotcha... its been a while... i know Madlith will appreciate

Bears trade back 9 spots to pick up an early 5th. Bad trade value for Bears there. 9 spots that early is worth a mid 4th, should have gotten a 5th and 6th for that move. Poles underwhelming me today.

A 6th round pick in 2017 for an undrafted FA rookie. What are we doing??

April Fools. Couldn't resist. Had to appear somewhat believable!

per Peggy Kusinski from NBC More to come

And on April 1, imagine that...

What does everyone think about this? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4567083

For a late round pick. 6'1, 301. DT from Tampa Bay. I remember he was taken 35th overall a few drafts ago out of UCLA. Supposedly, he's a headcase. He punched a teammate last year. He's been in the NFL for 2 years, and had 0 sacks his first year and 3 last year.

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

Low cost, low risk move here. Former 1st Round pick.

Darrell Taylor. Has 21.5 sacks in the last 3 years, and 15 over the last 2. Feels like a poor man's Ngakoue. $3.1M cap hit. Low risk. 6th rounders rarely make an NFL roster, so I really don't care too much about 6th and 7th rounders if you can get guys who make the 53-man roster for them. Taylor looks like one of them.

Bears bring in their WR2 for a 4th rounder. Welcome Keenen Allen

The Bears traded a conditional 7th rounder for K Eddie Pineiro I remember reading about him in the draft a couple years ago. It's interesting, with the league making so many trades and Free Agency etc, it's fascinating how players that we think will be a good fit for the Bears in the draft that we don't get to draft, sometimes end up on the team anyway later. https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-bears-trade-for-kicker-eddy-pineiro-20190506-story.html

I felt like this deserved its own thread. He comes over from the Pats, been in the doghouse for most of his career. This is what they were saying about him before last season: It looks like the Pats tried to have him do too much. If the Bears can shrink his responsibilities and routes, he may be more productive.

Bears making a trade with Rams for LG Jonah Jackson One of the better pulling guards if he can stay healthy. A 2025 6th round pick is it. This helps fill a need and costs a pick that would have been a developmental player at best.
