i seen this reported on X, but only seen one source . Has anyone else seen any reports? With all the false rumors being reported I always try to find a couple reliable sources.

All I can find is David Kaplan saying he had Ryan Poles on his show last Thursday and Poles mentioned he is working on a 2 year deal amd expect it to be signed in a few days.

It is expected for sure but this guy/ Archer G. Faith reported they did. He claims to be a Bear insider. Probably just another pundit makling BS claims. Its been 3 yrs of people claiming inside information and hasnt gotten anything right yet.

You won't get inside info, just guesses. Every day the internet is filled with bears are signing JK Dobbins, Nick Chubb... releasing Cole Kmet and Ryan Bates etc.  

The guesses are obvious moves they could make, but they are just working on clicks.  Kaplan might be the closest to being correct on his rumor from what Poles said, buy we don't know how far apart Thuney and the Bears are for contract details.

Rapoport , Schifter and Pelisserio seem to be the closest to insiders in the NFL . They seem to report stuff first 90% of the time.

My guess is they have monetary agreements with agents to get the news first.  Agents need rumors to drive prices up and reporters need inside info to be the best.

I’d really rather we see what we have with these new guys before signing them to an extension. I had the same problem with the Jonah Jackson extension. I understand doing it, but imagine if we’d taken the same approach with Chase Claypool. 

Out of Thuney, Jones, Billings, Brisker, and Byard, Thuney is probably the one you extend, even if it is just for a 2nd year.

agree. I understand the prudence of signing them for long terms deals, but we gotta see what weve got first. Ill add in Nate Davis as another example. He looked GREAT on film, and showed up as an unmotivated turd!
