*OFFICIAL* Offseason Rumors, Signings, and Shenanigans

Newsflash to Poles and Cunningham.

This moneyball bullshit only works when you have a good team that players want to come play for!

When you're shitty like the Bears you have to overpay, that's the reason we've been overpaying for 30 plus years!

Then Fields is ruined and it’s back to square one, it never ends.

Why is Fields ruined?

I thought Chris Morgan came from the Falcons?

Falcons to Steelers to Bears.

Gotta rip the band aid off eventually. I still like the way he's operating but will say that the potential pool of guys who can help us is dwindling.

Considering Poles was planning on having Bates in the fold by tomorrow morning at the latest, it'd be nice to see him bring in someone else within that same timeframe and it wouldn't stop him from continuing to look at additional O line options.

This right here is absolutely it.

With where the Bears are, we can't look at 2022 in a vacuum. This is going to take a little bit to right the ship and we are in for a terrible year.

But he has to kill it in the drafts. If he fails there, then this whole exercise is pointless.

Bates...............


I think I just spit my soda out my nose.

all hail the Bears O-line

Can't make this shit up.

Why do stupid people like this say we’re “sacrificing” this coming season, and act like it’s Poles’ fault? He’s doing what he needs to do to get us out of cap hell mediocrity to have a chance to contend.

Why is Fields ruined?

I was responding to a post about if we tank next year. Which means he is running for his life with nobody open. Horrible for the development and long term prognosis of a young qb.

This is good news. Back to the Cliff Stein days. Thank god.

He was in Pittsburgh last year

No doubt. He's a 25 year old ascending player who we now know 2 teams were willing to pay $4 mil per year on average for. I'd want that over a journeyman any day of the week.

On the flip side, it's only $4 mil per year, basically the same amount Lucas Patrick got from us. Unless he exceeded expectations quite a bit, it's not like we were securing a pro-bowler here. The drop off from him to a guy like Trai Turner isn't likely to be all that big. So while swinging and missing sucks, at least we weren't pinning our hopes on bringing in Brandon Scherff.

True very true. Would have loved to have Bates as he would have been an improvement over Daniels. Lost out on him so now it is time to move on to the next guy on the list. Trai Turner on a one year deal still would improve the line, then add a veteran LT, Fisher/Brown and add another LT high in the draft to groom behind the vet.

FUCKING A.

Stein was a GOD at contracts. Glad he's back and handling the cap.

Exactly. This upcoming year was going to suck regardless.

underrated point

of course we looked like a dumpster fire when the scheme itself was a dumpster fire. new system in here will be a huge positive for justin and the rest of the offense
