As for the 3rd round compensation picks, that will be announced next week in the leagues new year if the Bears are getting them.  Poles might know and it may have leaked to Cronin, but until the NFL announces it, it is speculation.

Courtney Cronin's source is Jeff King. She's had exclusives from him before, and even attributed some to him.

And I'm not saying Jeff is breaking rules, Im sure the Bears are good with it - most teams find a reporter that they can use when they need to put out disinformation before the draft, or spin on some negative publicity thing, and they "pay" for that by letting info out early to those same reporters in return.

It means Courtney will sometimes have inside info, but it also means she wont be the one asking tough questions in the pressers either?

Jeff King is the new assistant GM and it just may be his opinion. He won't last long as AGM it he's leaking information. It just could be the league haven't decided yet and they will find out when the rest of us but they may think it's 60% a chance they do. I think she is one the local press that does ask good questions. My opinion
