Free Agency Talk & Rumors - Bears get Dalman 3/$42M, Josh Allen is RICH ($330M contract), DK is a Steeler, Mack back to LAC

I know that you know that, but does anyone on the board under 35 know that?

Are you implying that posters under 35 don't know that good QB play is important? Are you really doing this again?

 

[thenewguy]

Texan fans seem to be good with the trade....

Can you explain why? The Texans line play was a big reason for their regression last year. How does this help? This is one baffling trade that I'm struggling to understand.

The Los Angeles Rams plan to release wide receiver Cooper Kupp when the NFL's new season starts March 12 if they are unable to find a trade partner, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter Monday.

Worst kept secret ever. No team was trading for that contract when they knew the rams would just cut him.

He's over 35 and the dumbest ****** on this board, so clearly age doesnt matter.

He's also greg gabriels son, craig gabriel, so you know where the stupid comes from. They both got brane dead as the years piled on.

From what I've seen, he played poorly against the Ravens and also he leads the league in penalties.....thats the gist I understood.

Insanity but they’re going all in on their QB

It really doesn't seem like much.

Washington moves from the 3rd to the 4th this year (less than a full round drop), and gives up a 7th this year and a 2nd and 4th next. For a perennial pro bowler at LT. Similar to San Fran grabbing Trent Williams and never looking back.

Ok. You win by proximity. I didn't remember if I actually gave a number or not. I can only remember so much of what I ramble about.

You didn't give a number.

Rambling on CCS is hard to keep track of. LOL

He'll be a Seahawk or Charger.

So just sounds like coping. They hired a new OC who has never called plays. I'm so glad the Bears no longer have a defensive head coach.

Everyone is hanging that post season banner yet again.

 

[dabears70]

You were half right. Not an L but not a W.

These damn mods are just stealing our L's from us now.

I'd like my L back please

Who is “ everyone “

 

[Xplosive]

The pro is Dalman is young and can hopefully learn a lot being next to Thuney. But yea, I was leaning Kelly with a rookie. However, I do like allowing the draft to be pretty wide open.

I was serious about Kelly being stiff and lumbering around slowly. He's dealt with a lot of injuries and just doesn't look mobile. He can still pass block, but the difference in run blocking and mobility is dramatic between the two.

Dalman was always the better choice for the long run if there wasn't some bidding war for him. It looks like there was but he chose the Bears which is even better.

And what does that have to do with posters being under 35 and Caleb improving in year 2? Give me one example of a poster not understanding the Bears need Caleb to improve to be a better team. Just one.

Certainly not a lot, but he is about to be 31 this year, so maybe that had a play in the decision.

Still very stupid by the texans as their OL was shit last year and a large reason stroud struggled.

He's only also making 21m a year, which in todays tackle market is cheap for a guy of his talent/status.

 

[TL1961]

Nate Hobbs (CB) to GB on 4 year $48M deal

Never heard of him lol

He's an Illini !

Pretty clear the bears are going to try to maul in the run game w/ big johnsons scheme. All of thuney, dalman, jackson, and wright are good or excellent run blockers.

Even ray charles would be able to run behind this OL

 

[TL1961]

Yes, I would much rather have Hufanga than Grady. Hufanga is young and an absolute stud when not injured.

As far as my Big Plan, the first step would be to fire Ryan Poles.

You seem to be confusing free agency with the draft. You don't get to automatically sign anyone you want.

I’m surprised Holland is still out there.

Safeties have been getting scraps in FA lately
