I'm going to very pissed if Poles spends +$5M on a RB before signing a starting 3T or DE

He just did so get pissed off.

#called it

Bears will trade from #1 to #3, take MHJ, then take JJ Mcfarty at #9.

Let him sit a year behind fields

 

[Bearly]

This is how I feel too at this point. If they truly wanted to "do right by fields" and wanted him gone they'd have traded him at the combine for anything.

No reason for him to be on the roster while teams are signing their FA starters/backups.

That doesnt mean you cant still draft a QB at #1 or #9.

It's a catch 22. If a team wanted him as a starter more than an available FA, Poles would have got at least a 3 for him and honestly, a 2 for a projected starter on that contract is cheap. Perhaps Poles couldn't do right for him. The 2 teams that seemed to show the most interest were both able to sign established front line starters.

To be fair, if rap/schefter says it, then I believe it.

Those other guys are morons and worthless. Rap/Schefter have connection to all the top agents.

and when Rap and Schefter believed that Chicago was taking Caleb at 1, Craig called BS

Lol?

everyone cant be right

Kevin Warren power play could be the reason. I mean he wanted his rental dome on the lake why not believe him when he says he wants to keep Fields and trade the pick? He is a complete moron and it would fit right in with doing the opposite of the obvious that has haunted this franchise for 35+ years.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

So you didn’t watch him play. Got it.

Dud

They've fallen all the way in love. Bros are living in CandyLand.

Nah. We just want to move on. I’m exhausted

 

[Xplosive]

He just did so get pissed off.

Believe I already did. Oh well

 

[Luke]

what a clusterfuck of stupidity this thread has become.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

Does anyone except the Bears front office and league GMs really know that nobody wanted Fields?

I do not think we know if Poles was even willing to trade him and if so we have no idea what Poles was asking for.
Maybe he was demanding a first round pick? Does anyone really think any of the media knows for certain?

There are a few here that know everything

 

[Bearly]

You know how many people this is about to upset

I'm good.

So are you saying the glass is half full or half empty j/k
Poles deserves some credit imo.

Lol no way. There's just no way this could happen. We'd be the laughing stock of the NFL for years. Mahomes? Pass. Stroud? Pass. Caleb Williams? Please not again, say it ain't so.

so what exactly did Poles mean by living in the gray? and doing right by Justin?

Not a media person but the actual GM. If you think the Bears didn't have discussions on Fields, I have a bridge to sell you. They clearly set a price too high and teams balked. Now he looks like a moron

 

[Brownie]

Nah. We just want to move on. I’m exhausted

To be clear, I only mean the folks who choose to paint themselves into a corner when know one really knows a damn thing until a decision is made.
Even the folks making the decisions were still going through the motions, or at least they were... more so up until today.

 

[modo]

Nah. We just want to move on. I’m exhausted

Ill let Poles know how tired you are.....that should motivate them to get something done.

Not really. If you only get a 3, you ay get that next year for simply losing him to FA. Losing a 3 is not that big a deal anyway.

 

[HearshotKDS]

Edge market is thinning out reeeally fast, if Bears strike out on Hunter idk what plan B is at this point - Uche or something?

 

[Chicoman]

It seems to me that CW not doing the medicals slowed down this process. If we had that and we were sure about CW then we would at least be hearing that Bears are shopping jf1. It is prudent for Poles to hold onto JF1 until after they have all information especially if they are not as enamored with the 2nd and 3rd options at qb. This way even if trade comp is lowered at least they have a qb they want for next year.

They could also hold him through
Beginning of season. Chances are at least one team will need a qb and be willing to pay more to rent him.
