Only FAs that can play all 16 games without injury ::)


 Exactly.


 Otherwise the TEAM is pissing up the same fuucking rope,


 it has been pissing up since 1985.


 Which has led us to where over the course of that many years since 1985 ?


 No - fuucking - where. Look it up.


 I hate being a BEARS fan and so do you ...


 because of the time of our last SuperBowl win ...


 we had kids and our kids had kids.


 Yep. It's been that fuucking long.


 We deserve better as fans.

Any FA we sign must sit on the bench behind a draft pick.  Why spend money on other peoples busted up veteran free agents.  There is a reason they are no ton their old teams and that is because they didn't wan them.  Why would we want their trash?

Just say to to busted up veteran free agents.  Or sign them for minimum and let them ride the bench.

And they can just cut that piece of crap wannabe RB Tarik Cohen.  And while I am at it Jordan Howard needs to put on about 5 pounds or his ass can go too.

/bearlybot impersonation over.  :)

His minimum measurement for RBs was 230 lb right?  Howard is only 225.  :)

Mark Helfrich has made his choice. The #Bears are finalizing a deal to make him their new OC, I’m told. Matt Nagy continues to mix West Coast with spread, as Andy Reid has done.

Wish Fangio would sign already and this would be a great week.  My hunch is he is playing it to get as much cash as he can.  Going to reset the bar for highest paid DC

Not sure what the hold up is.  There are still a few HC jobs open - but I don't think he's on their list of candidates.  Maybe he's waiting for those jobs to fill and open up more options for a DC gig with another team?

I read somewhere that Fangio is trying to squeeze the Bears for a little extra coin.  Cant blame the guy for that.

The Cowboys Brice Butler is a 27 year old FA and wants assurances that he will start next year or he will not re-sign with the team.  Might be a nice addition to the Bears competing for a spot opposite Cameron Meridith.

Starting has to be earned, not given.

His point is that sometimes salary dictates playing time...and he may be right.

Still if you have a high salary based on production you have to continue that or you are dumped. Its why they give out one year contracts. There are two sides to the coin.

In Butler's situation you have player(s)  that have earned their deals but are not quite performing up to that deal currently.

And you can't hand out 1 year deals to the players that you want to be part of your nucleus.

Old saying goes, "what have you done for me lately." And its true. The problem of giving large long term contracts to players comes back to bite you in the butt. I am not privy to the Butler situation. I dont know if its targets or not getting open or dropped balls. But if a player is complaining about not getting paid there is likely a reason for it
