LOL

Also no thanks on old man jones.

Smokescreen so Bears will draft an RB without others trading up for their desired RB.

 

[DaaBears]

Aaron Jones is terrific, but has a problem staying healthy. You can't look at games played, as he is in and out, and plays hurt.

Also, RBs abundant in college. Big 12 flooded with them, in addition to Jeanty.

Fix the OL.

Thnx

He looked very meh to me this year. I'm not really interested in trying to fix the run game by banking on a 31 year old either.

If they want to spend big on RB again take a risk on najee

Fix the OL.

Thnx

Heard espn 1000 saying the bears will cut deandre swift because of ben johnson

Dumbest shit I've heard on the radio in a long time. There is absolutely zero upside to it

Fix the OL.

Thnx

Fix the OL and Swift could absolutely put up great numbers in the running and receiving game.

I know your a KSU guy, but what do you think of Devin Neal in the 3rd/4th?

Talk about meh. I refuse to draft that guy in fantasy ever again. Pitt should of been playing Jaylen Warren more than Najee IMO. I'd rather take a chance with JK Dobbins over Najee.

His money if fully guaranteed next year.

Shea Norling, then he tried to argue about it in twitch chat saying that the lions traded away swift because ben johnson didnt want him. Nevermind the fact they got a 4th round pick for him. If he was worth nothing via trade they would have kept him on the roster.

Swift was terrible last year, he had the worst EPA in the entire NFL for RB's, but a lot of that has to do with this OL being a terrible fit for his skillset.

Even if you bring in another RB to be the workhorse he still has value at the #2 as a 3rd down back. Guy is a very good pass catcher for the rb position. No use in cutting him to save 1.5m, thats not even enough to sign a trash veteran.

He legit said it saves 1.5m so its worth it for that. Even travis homer makes more than 1.5m

Such a dumb take. That entire station is clueless on cap situations and has no clue about dead cap hits. Ive heard jurko say they should trade dj moore, jaylon johnson and also cut braxton jones(Why in the world would they cut a guy on a rookie deal?)

 

[DaaBears]

I know your a KSU guy, but what do you think of Devin Neal in the 3rd/4th?

He is outstanding. DJ Giddens will get drafted too, but I think Neal can be more explosive.

Jurko always says off the wall shyt but he still makes me laugh. I can deal with him and i like the guy he does his show with. Most of those guys i can't stand and it starts with Kaplan.

It's a really good draft class for RB's and goes pretty deep. You have any thought on Harvey from UCF?

Swift averaged 5.5 YPC with BJ but got traded because of injuries and his contract coming up the next year. Swift went to the PB with the Eagles and sucked here. The Eagles have an OL and the Bears don’t

Yea i had no clue wtf he was talking about.

If the lions were not getting any takers for swift he would have played out his rookie deal in Det as the 3rd RB.

There is zero reason to trade away a player who has shown he's a reliable 3rd down RB on 3 teams just because of one bad season

I like both
