Meanwhile, they didn't sign Tyron Smith. Alt won't be available at 9. Fashanu might not either. LT is arguably the second-most important offensive position on the field and it's going to be the weakest position on the Bears offense.
6th round pick that can become a 4th based on playing time.
Would have kept him as the backup if that's all they got, especially since they're gonna need a backup with Braxton Jones at LT.
Everybody needs to go watch the USC-Notre Dame game to see what happens when Caleb Williams' offensive line gets overwhelmed. It wasn't pretty (for him). It's exactly what's going to happen to him in Chicago. Fields will get traded to a team with a good OL and get MVP votes.
Public funding for a Bears stadium makes more sense than for the Sox due to the simple fact that the Bears stadium can also bring in things like an NCAA Final Four, a Super Bowl, college football, concerts, etc.
