Wow! Lots of shooting the messenger in here.

Does he seem bitter Is? Yes. Is he wrong? No.

And for the record the idiot that drafted Kyle was Emery.

Ryan Pace asked him to play through the injury. That’s specifically why he gave Long the contract extension, which was finalized only a couple of weeks after he tore the labrum.

And that’s also probably why Ryan Pace didn’t cut him when he should have a season sooner. Long even somewhat eluded to this when he commented that any team other than the Bears would have cut him a year before the Bears did.

Is there documentation of this?

I have never heard of a general manager asking a player to play when they are legitimately injured, and offering them a contract extension to be a worse player because they are injured and cannot protect themselves on the field thus creating additional injuries..... That sounds like a stretch to me.

Everything related to this organization by him lately has seemed really whiney and bitter.

I can tell he didn't take being cut & retiring very well.

I don’t ever question any athletes toughness because I know each and every one of them is infinitely bigger than I’ll ever be, but Long is straight up a Vagina McGeinstein. All the dude does is trash the Bears when they paid him to do nothing the last 2 seasons of his career. He’s doing it just to get air time and stay relevant, because his talent on the field made us all forget about him years ago

The truth has nothing to do with taking a shot at your old organization which is about his third time saying something negative about the Bears. Pace maybe an idiot but Long has repeatedly said something negative about the Bears

The Bears deserve to have things negative said about them repeatedly.
