Why do you keep saying for emotional reasons? You can't like a player just because you think he is good? I don't get the underlying implications all the time instead of just face value in a comment. I'm saying BJ doesn't put up with slackers and he didn't sit him during the season at anytime. Everyone saw the playoff game questionable play that's not the debate. I don't expect players to be perfect all the time.

Do we have to wait until the free agency period or can we resign our own free agents anytime?

Lots of positions to fill for 10 new coaches but GB was probably the most likely if he left. So far so good.

I don't think it would be worth it but it is the going rate for similar type players.

BJ won't play you if you don't show effort in blocking, DJ played every game so that tells me he didn't have a problem with DJs effort. I'm on BJs Twitter account, I'll send him a link to Phil's channel.

Anytime productive players get second contracts, they get overpaid unless they do TJ Edwards type contracts. He is in a WR prime years at 28, he's not old. If they decide their good without him and can find a trade, I'm okay with it but haven't got that impression from the exit speeches. If they wait until until 2027, it will be a lot easier Cap hit. I also heard today that Crosby had his 8th knee surgery. Doubt they take that risk with the money involved and giving up 2 #1s.

If it's true that DJ was taking plays off all year, does anyone honestly think BJ would be playing him? He watches tape 10 times more than we do. Walker would have been getting snaps. Burden wasn't getting a lot of snaps until he blocked better. BJ notices everything.

No matter any fans opinion, we will see in real time if the Bears value him. I don't like the idea of getting rid of a good player untill you can see Rome healthy and Burden growing one more year. They can restructure his contract for cap space. When it's time to pay Caleb, we will see him gone when he contract has marginal less dead space. I doubt he will bring more than a 3rd rounder and wouldn't make the contribution DJ would next year. Why take a step backwards?

It could be our cheapest option at this point, resign Braxton if they don't draft a first round LT.

It's only been a week since our last game and it feels like it was a month ago to me by all the people responding to the game.

Is this a future Bear?

I can't get enough of this stuff.

This is our QB, how lucky are we when the best QB ever is in envy. We got BJ and Caleb, I don't care who anyone else is on the team. We are going to a SB in the next two years.

I threw that out there but I never thought they would sign the big 3 in the OL that doesn't mean I wasn't elated over those players. You wanted a 1st round LT and I had no problem with Ozzy in the second. You didn't like that pick at the time. The problem between last year and this year is we have no money. They will overhaul it but they have to sign Ss and another LB ( maybe D Jackson) before they add the needed DL.. They will restructure some contracts and cut Edmunds (?) , then maybe trade some players if needed. Poles did the drafting not Flus but will get BJ what he needs. BJ is the dominate football guy in the room but it's not a dictatorship. We might have different opinions on who they want but I trust BJs perspective to get the right players. As much need as the DL has , I think LT is on the table for the first pick. No Free agents of value out there. I think DT is a bigger need that edge. We have Booker, Sweat, Dayo and Turner. We only have 2 DTs in the roster. In DJ's scheme the pressure up the middle puts the DEs in better position because the QB has to bail from the pocket.

I didn't know that.

This guy is okay but it amazes me he has 155,000 followers. He has some good ideas, don't agree with everything.

I'm one of those but never had a problem with anything you had to say. You remain me of a good friend that I had , we would come to blows and then do shots of tequila and forget about it.

I wish all the members lived in the same city so we could sit in the bar and argue, then buy each other a beer. Like the good old days before the internet.

I'll remember when I describe an opinion of yours, as simplistic and childish, it's a football term and not personal. This has nothing to do about DJ's feelings it's about disagreeing with the quitter label. You always take it somewhere it never was. Trading for assets and cap space is a different conversation than a player over seeing him as a quitter. You always try to mix conversations. You are always the player that punched first and then played innocent when the other guy punches back. This is a football analogy you will understand.

Never heard the term ( slurping his jock) before. We must have grown up in a different culture. You are correct, I brought it over here after you mentioned trading DJ,. I didn't blame anybody was just trying to move back to the post topic.

Hundreds of pundits doing Bear material these days. The two opinions I respect the most are Olin kruetz and Dave Wannsted. Not JT get me clicks Sullivan. It's okay to have different opinions , what happened with just saying, I disagree.

I apologize, you meant a compliment with the statement ( simplistic and childish ways). No one is falling for the poor me anymore , by mentioning ( whipping boy) you were responding to my post. If you would refrain from using derogatory language, this would never happen.
