There are quite a few WR in the NFL, one of them is even on the Bears, who I would feel much better about going into 2019 with than Antonio Brown.

I cant think of a more meaningless stat than TD's. I mean, all NFL stats are kind of meaningless but that one in particular is subject to so much variance and factors outside the players control, especially for WR of all positions. Brown is slower. You can see it when he runs. Compare him with Smith-Schuster and if you just ignored the name of the back of the jersey one would look like a Ferrari compared to a Vauxhall.

She deliberating made her request in a way she knew Barstool would never see it.

They reached out to her to compensate her. She didn't respond. It's not professional. She wants to be treated like a pro? Act like something other than some Twitter amateur.

They aren't better than AB three years ago but they are better than AB now. The decline is clearly on for Brown and if he didn't have Smith-Schuster and Big Ben his numbers would've been really pedestrian.

Jones, Beckham, Hopkins, Hill, Smith-Schuster, Thomas, Evans, Hilton, Cooper, Thielen That was pretty easy.

Right but it's still dishonest when she is fishing for this exact reaction. None of this is happening organically...she wanted Barstool to grovel. The professional thing to do is accept or refuse their offers not ignore them like a child because they are supposedly racist and sexist (which I really doubt they are).

And things people say on Twitter have a long history of being bullshit.

Bears had another kicker tryout and went with Chris Blewitt. Already signed Redford Jones too. They are just going to have a massive competition and whoever comes out on top gets the job. Love it.

Personal opinions on Sox rebuild pieces.
Its pretty much failed. The pitching has fallen apart and I dont think enough of the hitters have maintained their stock to be in sufficient quantity to acquire the pitcher they are going to need. The Tatis Jr. trade...it looms over everything. Doesn't mean they wont ever be good though. While were talking about 2005, remember the off-season before it where they made all the stupidest moves possible? Trading away El Caballo for Scott Podsednik and letting Magglio walk to be replaced by Jermaine Dye were universally panned moves. How many people called the Sox cheap that off-season? Sometimes baseball can be weird.

SEEMS? He's not that great anymore. I wouldn't even put him top-10.

Who is your top 2019-20 free agent target
Josh Donaldson will be average this year and the Sox will sign him next off-season.

I'd honestly be surprised if she did respond to them after all and encouraged this behavior. These people on the internet are always lying, almost 100% of what you read on social media is an outright lie.

I'd say the stakes here a little higher than $10. I really dont know anything about Barstool Sports, I've never consumed their content except for a couple episodes of Pat McAfee's show, but I'd imagine their Twitter account is a fairly valuable thing.

Well those people are wrong as its clearly not the same thing at all. Either way, her narrative kind of falls apart when she spends the whole thread making fun of how desperate they are before revealing the totally legitimate reason for their desperation.

Exactly. Just ignoring then and playing this stupid game is childish on her part.

None of the safeties are going to get overpaid because it's such a buyer's market for them. It's kind of why Collins and the Bears are a such a tremendous fit.

The Bears have maybe the best top to bottom roster in the NFL with a top-fifteen QB on a rookie contract, the best defender in football and one of the twenty best football coaches in the world serving as defensive coordinator to another one of the twenty best coaches in the world. We'll never see these circumstances replicated again in our lifetime. For the next two years the Bears have to go all out to bring home a title. No stone left unturned.

My calculus on this simple. Will Chase Daniel put them over the top? No. Will $3m more in cap space? Maybe.

Do the Ravens have an hier apparent or are they going to be active on the safety market?

NFL Thread 2019-2020
Bears can save another $2m if they trade Howard and another $3m by cutting Daniel. So they are hardly out of options to clear more money. I think they can find anyone to be as dogshit as Daniel was against New York but I am guessing they'll want to keep him in the QB room another year.

NFL Thread 2019-2020
Rather have one high tier free agent who will step in and make an impact than a handful of mid/low tier free agents who provide little more than redundant depth. Bears have had very good off-season plans lately and their overall strategy since the 2017 off-season has been difficult to fault. I hope they recognize their window for a title is in these next two seasons.

Give him a near carbon copy deal of what they gave Robinson. Three years at a good wage that gives him a chance to go wild with Chuck Pagano and Eddie Jackson and get a second go of free agency as a 28 year-old. Cutting Sims and restructuring Long gave them the room to make this work. It will probably mean dealing Leonard Floyd next off-season rather than paying him his fifth-year option salary. Fine trade-off if you ask me.
