Some speculation Bears might be investing in a wideout vs. running back with the newly freed up cap space. Are there any vets out there or on the block who are shorter-term deals that would be big pick-ups?

Welp. I see why the Bears didn't sign Amos. Still he's a very durable quality safety so not a bad move for the Packers. Lot of up-front guaranteed money. Bears are going to go short on Earl Thomas.

How much did Amos end up getting paid?

I don't really like the Bears moving all this cap space related to Mack to make "marginal" moves. My presumption is they are going to do something big here. If it is for Mike Davis and the new nickle, that is more meh to me. Will be interesting to see what they do. I'm presuming they are going to land Bell or Ingram (and no that isn't a move I would have made).

I can't imagine he's getting a big pay day? Is he?

Iowa couldn't beat a DII school at this point, so it should be a pretty easy draw for you.

You just have to hope that Amos/Callahan aren't on that first tier of guys. If I'm the Bears, I'm waiting for free agency vs. being aggressive in free agency at this point.

Lol. Sticking it to AB haha. That said good idea to get a strong wide out for their young QB.

Very nice to see the momentum they have right now. I hope this can continue and put the franchise in a nice spot heading into the offseason. Than we need lottery odds to fall in our favor and who knows what happens from there on the free agency/trade front. Boylan also deserves credit as do Lavine and Lauri for taking big steps forward.

I like Rosen. Dude can sling it. He had zero weapons and zero talent around him and was a rookie. I think if someone buys low on him they are winning out. The only downfall is he's going to have to start back over at square one with a new franchise. If they really look to trade him, I wonder if the Pats would be interested. Broncos would have been a great fit had they not made their annual QB move already.

This. There was some sloppy play as everyone got tired but what a fun game and it is great seeing all the young guys grow.

I have my delusional one-sided Bulls trade idea. Bulls trade Dunn, Valentine and some 2nd round picks for Lonzo Ball. Lakers need D in Dunn and move away from Ball. No possibility but I would love Lonzo (sans his dad) on the Bulls. I don't know what would be worse though, Bulls training staff with Zo or Lavar with Gar?

So I have to ask. Was Dunn really hurt or did he literally no show practice because he didn't play in the 4th quarter? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he's always seemed to be a team first guy, but I really am baffled at how athletic he looked a year ago vs. how he's looked this entire season. He never could shoot but last year he could get into the paint with ease. This year he can't do that and we obviously know he isn't a knock down shooter (or a strong passer). Will Wendell Carter be back this year? Sounds like Hutchinson might be a couple weeks away (started shooting today), but any update on Carter Jr? Its been about 4 weeks and he was listed as 8-12?

Yep - I'm already expecting the Lakers to miss the playoffs and than win the lottery.

It's nice to see their progress, most notably Lavine and Mark. On flip side, it is amazing how far back Dunn has fallen. That run last year before he got hurt seems so long ago. Anyone know how longOtto will be Out?

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Selling a super star free agent as a last place franchise is a really hard sell and Sox were never going to throw stupid money at any free agent. Not their mo. The reality is with or without Manny they were only going to be as good as the young players development and the franchise is still a ways away. Manny would have been a great piece in the long term but wouldn’t have moved the needle to the team being an immediate contender (no way the current roster is too bad). This means the Sox technically have ability to be patient. Missing adds urgency but isn’t an epic disaster in a silo. The big equation is whether the Sox can do player development or not. That has long been what worries me about the front office.

I’m I actually think Bulls turned a corner with Porter trade. He is overpaid but he’s a good player who is still young and can help this team get better over the next few years. Much better fit as an all around player than Parker. He is a legitamately good all around wing and I presume his three ball will come back since he’s been good from there most of his career. The bulls drastically need an upgrade at point guard and hopefully the right lottery ball. No matter what they aren’t catching the Hawks but I don’t know if they catch the bottom three teams either. Hopefully the ping pong balls go there way and they can get an all pro and then desperately sign a point guard to help push and develop the players. Lauri has re emerged lately which is great. Needed that. I still feel like Lauri, Lavine and Wendell will be good NBA players. Not sure if any will be great. Bulls can hopefully start turning a corner next year so they can begin targeting free agency a year and two years from now (timing might not be awful as Bron will be older and Warriors will likely be Durant less). They need to get to good with young players and then see how they can be opportunistic. I think the front office was realistic at the deadline vs worrying too much about cap space for next year (unfortunately the team didn’t step forward fast enough to be able to attract anyone).

Its pathetic had bad the Bulls point guards have been. Sucks cause at one point last year (prior to Dunn having that awful injury from his layup), he was really trending upwards. He just isn't a good passer and when you combine that with his inability to shoot outside, its hard to be a good team unless we had a number of just natural scorers (which the Bulls don't). They desperately need a PG. As crazy as it sounds, I'd love to be a 3rd team in a Lakers trade involving Lonzo and take my chances on him. Dude is a natural passer and plays with speed and should be a good defender. Shot is obviously an issue but I think he'd ultimately be good for the teams development, etc (albeit he needs to stay healthy and we would have to hope his dad would remain quiet..which he has done this past year). Is there anyone with a worse PG situation than the Bulls?

Dunn is a bad pg. I said it a couple weeks ago but this team s in severe need of a point guard.

Davis was literally one of the top plays and the Bulls have fucked things up so much they can’t even contend for him. Pathetic.

If you haven't watched the Kingdom (BBC show you can stream on netflix), you should. My wife and I binged it over the course of a month and is just fantastic.

Wow. Years ago I’d have felt like it was nice to beat Illinois but man now you just expect it.

More like bench Slop!

No. He will not be anywhere near the team. Most likely he will be cut around the trade deadline.

Bulls are keeping Carmelo up until trade deadline. Could be leveraged in another move (albeit unlikely). No reason to gripe about this move.
