Ok Capt Obvious.



If he starts the season off strong then would expect a deal before season over so they can apply some of it to this years cap.
Agreed............It will be better for the Bears to extend Smith this year for that reason, but also because they may be looking to extend Mooney, Johnson, Kmet next offseason.

I already said the owners are cockroaches so not sure why you feel the need to convince me they are evil.

Sorry but I give a lot more fucks about grocery baggers with no health insurance of any kind then I do about NFL players.

If you really believe they are killing themselves for your entertainment then it would be a lot cleaner to stop watching football than keep posturing about paying them more. They understand - better than you apparently - that it can't happen while the salary cap exists.

You made your point like 50 posts ago and the world won't stop spinning if someone else sees it differently without you wearing them down by attrition.
Besides all the good points remy brought up you don’t see owners moving to the guaranteed contract route and would rather deal with holdouts with these wish washy deals. Why hate in the players this is the loophole given to them to force a new deal just like the loophole for owners not to honor a contract and can cut a player any time with minimal cap consequences depending on the structure? Roquan should honor his contract fine ok. Why doesn’t anyone get pissed when a player is cut before their contract? I don’t get this caping for ownership

It is simple. Screwing over players helps the team's finances so fans will side with them.

Broncos going to learn the hard way that their defense is going to take a sizeable step back after losing Fangio..

Their defense was shit last year. So probably not far. Vic's defenses in Denver were hardly impressive.

Those 3 won't break the bank. They'll all get sizable deals but we won't be seeing any Christian Kirk type of deals, thankfully.

Lol at caping for owners. You're a great champion of the working class! I'm sure an immigrant woman cleaning the cum stains off hotel sheets for minimum wage (or less) feels inspired by your efforts to ensure an NFL player gets $100 mil instead of 95. The world owes you its gratitude.

The problem with Greg Gabriel is he is literally exactly like most of the CCS boomer-generation members meaning that he is literally always wrong most of the time and also often gets political on his Twitter when literally nobody cares about his bad political takes because they are worse than his football takes and he also is always doing cancel culture with his twitter followers if they disagree with him or point out how much of a IGNORAMUS he is.
When you're literally stupid you write stuff like this.....

Roquan said in his presser the Bears haven’t fined him. Personally, I’m glad to see him practicing as it says a lot about his professionalism.

It’s sounds like he and the team had different numbers in mind and how that came out left him feeling disrespected (i.e. no agent filtering statements on his value came across as cold business dealings).

Can’t fault him for setting his value high as a players career means limited earning potential. But we’re still left guessing how high he was aiming and how high the Bears offer went.

I don’t fault roquan at all for his position and I like the interview overall. He was a bit candid, but it’s clear he’s putting the situation behind him and ready to ball out. Let the chips fall as they may
