Free Agency Rumors and Discussion

[Dumpster Fire]

Here's the hard thing you DEMOCRATS need to realize

1. Your boy is outta office in a few months NO MORE FREEBIES
2. GatorlandMike has been SPOT on this entire process
3. Trump is here to make lazy people like you finally get a job

#VoteTrump

Stop the hate and appreciate ME

Shocking that a blowhard with a very fragile ego is a Trump fan.

Chris Ballard for VP?

The expansion of your mole network to include the entire NFL is impressive. Knowledge is power and Mike you are starting to get the attention of Rodger Goodell, Jerry Jones, Bob Craft, and the like. Don't ask how I know, I just do. These are men that you should try and stay off the radar of. Making them nervous may not end well it could lead to you having "health problems.". Be safe, my friend.

Jerry Jones is the kinda guy who would light Mike on fire....

 

[dabears70]

I don't know where you get this "can't stay off IR" thing. He's been in league two years and IR'ed last year after 4 games. So he's been IR once which isn't exactly a pattern.

Furthermore… he looked promising as a rookie playing in a shit scheme for shit coordinator. Then he was asked to drop weight and learn a new position in a new scheme.

Also, Emery made some good personnel moves. Jeffery, Long, Slauson, etc… He was pretty bipolar in his roster moves as far as hits and misses go. Is Ego a Jeffery or a Bostic?

We don't know…

I agree and don't understand how any Bears fan can just count the kid out after seeing him only in his rookie year under a horrible coaching staff. Give the kid a chance to show what he can do cause with guys like E.Goldman, L.Houston, P.McPhee and W.Young playing on the line with him he could play pretty well for us.

This just in! The Bears are still working on a long term deal with Alshon and may or may not get it done.

If you want more real insider info don't hesitate to ask

 

[dabears70]

What about R.Ayers?? Would he fit on the line next to E.Goldman?? I think Pace will go hard after A.Hicks but he won't way overpay, he may overpay some though since he lost out on J.Howard and M.Jackson and if not the bigger name like Hicks in free agency then he'll draft one in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft and maybe even use another mid to late rounder on another one.

I heard the Bears will draft some rookies in the upcoming draft, can I axe you which ones?

 

[Josh2J]

I agree I would not be shocked at all of PACE traded Cutler between now and the draft or on draft day.... but what works against that is the fact that they promoted Dowell Loggains to OC. Isnt that just a total 'curtail to Cutler move' ?? To keep continuity. Wasn't there probably better OC candidates out there to hire if Pace's plan is to send Cutler packing this off-season? Or do you think they just felt Loggains was the best man for the job regardless of who will be at QB?

Maybe, but most OC's probably wouldn't have been allowed to take a lateral move with the Bears by their current team. If it's a lateral move teams can block Chicago from hiring them.

[pseudonym]

Even if we worked a trade to get SF's 1st for some Cutler three-way, I don't think Wentz will be there at #7. Look at all of the teams that need QBs:

1. Tenn - okay, just took Mariota
2. Cle - desperate for a QB
3. SD - Rivers getting pretty old
4. Dallas - Romo also getting old, been hurt a lot
5. Jags - Set with Bortles
6. Bal - still with Flacco

I think CLE for sure takes a QB. So, if they take Wentz or Chicago loves Goff or Lynch, you'd have to move up to #1 to get Wentz. Dallas COULD take a QB, SD, too, even BAL. Only TENN and JAC are for sure not going QB.

 

[GatorLandMike]

I'm not sure what is worse; the fact that Gatorlandmike keeps up his charade or that there are morons who truly believe him. Here is my insider info:

The Bears are still looking at potential Fa's from both the AFC and NFC

The Bears will resign a few more players

The Bears will go defense with one of their top three draft picks.

Yawn, next

I wonder if that means they won't be signing anymore significant players because if they had a significant player that they were close to signing or thought they were gonna sign soon then you'd think they'd wait and introduce him with Trevathon and Massie??
