  1. Sorry! Unintentional, I assure you.
  2. A waste of valuable resources.
  3. Or maybe Justin has no idea what Poles will ultimately decide to do and is, therefore, on vacation, which he said was his plan while things settled, and has nothing to tell reporters.
  4. My favorite combo that I think is reasonably possible is Caleb Williams QB & Rome Odunze WR
  5. Do you think it is possible that the Bears will be so bad that they will fire Flus before the end of the 2024 season?

    It seems Poles is staying true to form. He has said in the past that many players in the first wave of free agency are quite often overpaid because of teams' frantic efforts to outbid each other for specific players. With his emphasis on improving the Bears' roster with player upgrades, he is doing so with players from the second and sometimes the third (after draft) FA periods. Sitting here today, I see so many players I would have loved for Poles to sign. However, if he had signed all of them, the Bears would have been back in Salary Cap Hell. LOL
  7. Watching FA coverage on NFL network, it is obvious no one knows what the Bears are going to do. I heard one 'expert' say JF would be traded before FA Another said before the draft, yet another said best value would be during the draft One said it would be fine if JF shared the Locker room with a QB drafted, another said it would be a disaster All of this on one telecast. LOL
  8. Damn, he signed cheap. I assume it's because he will still rip off Denver for big $$ remaining on the contract. I just saw on NFL network he signed for 1 year at 1.2M Pittsburgh could be dangerous this year.
  9. Don't forget Patrick Scales ?

    YES! That is how you play chess with your roster. Strategically plotting future moves to maximize the value of your players.
  11. Add a 2025 first-rounder to that, and I would agree. Overpay by use of the chart, I didn't check, but probably yes. However, this year's #1 competition will reap an overpayment.
  12. What the hell did I just say that you did not understand?
  13. Why do you always think I'm mad at you? Because I disagree with you? Hell, I disagree with many forum posters. They don't accuse me of being mad at them simply because we disagree. We have healthy debates, respecting each other. I've seen you mention I am upset with you because of your argument with Stinger. No. I was disappointed with both of you for continuing to argue despite several moderators asking both of you to stop for the sake of the forum's health. I wasn't mad at either one of you, just frustrated. (You have no idea how many private messages I received asking me to put an end to your heated exchanges.) So no, I'm not mad at you and for you to continue to say I am is, as you always claim, silly.
  14. And you missed my point... A team would be crazy to gamble on Fields with solid veterans available, especially if they can obtain him w/o giving up draft picks. You seem to think anyone who has positive things to say about Fields thinks he is a generational/francise QB. Many of us who like Fields, and see some positive traits, realize we still need to draft a QB. I said it before, on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being the best, you see Fields as a 0, not even reaching 1. Whereas, many of us who see some positive traits in Fields, play, would probably rate him between 4 and 6. Not good enough to be a francise savior, but not garbage.
  15. Yes, we know you don't like Fields as a QB. Yes, we get it. Believe me, we all know!
  16. Did you see where Brian Burns was traded t NYG, signing for 150M / 5 years! It's really getting crazy stupid, 30M a year?
  17. It's really quite simple. Cousins, Mayfield, and Wilson were all free agents with no draft capital involved. All three established veterans. Mac Jones went cheap as a backup, low risk for late round pick.
  18. Well, Hondo Carpenter, I know when I owned my hobby store, if someone came into my store to purchase a collectible that I had priced at 1,000.00 and he offered me 500.00, I would politely reject the lowball. I've said repeatedly that I am tired of the Bears giving players away in trades while other teams get great returns. If Poles didn't get a proper bid, one that he felt was fair for the Bears, I applaud him for not accepting. I have no doubt that next year the FA market will not have as many quality options for QB needy teams. If he cannot get good value this year, keep him.
  19. And now we know why we didn't sign McKinney. Signed for 4 years / 68 Million 17M / yr vs 7.5M / yr
  20. That is a very expensive message! I hope the real estate market is better in Arlington Heights than Rockford. LOL
  21. Is this for real or is Warren sending a message to Arlington Heights that they had better renegotiate the tax assessment evaluation?

    Yes, but I had no idea he was so young. Great that we signed him.

    Look no further than our DBs currently on our roster: Blackwell - 24 Brisker - 24 Gordon - 24 Hicks - 24 J Johnson - 24 Q Johnson - 24 Jones - 26 Smith - 24 Stevenson - 23 Stroman - 28 That has to be the youngest group of DBs in the league We needed a vet with experience to help this group reach its potential Bringing in a 30-year-old former pro bowler was important
  24. I do not know of Russinni. First I've heard of her. If she is correct, Warren has far more influence than I had envisioned. So my question for you guys, who probably know far more than I about the front offices of teams, Is it normal for the President & CEO of a team to wield that much influence over decisions made by his GM?
