Good stuff. The NFL is hard to figure out so it’s hard to be too confident. I knew they wanted a big receiver. They get a no doubt one that’s maybe one of the best athletes in the position. I complain they don’t get a smaller guy suspended for the season. Just desperately need this to work. Can’t handle another decade of same ole bears.

Sign saquon in the offseason and be legends

I think it's really hard to know who will be a good hitting coach, there isn't any one profile. That's why you also shouldn't be trigger shy to firing them if they aren't working out. But to me they should be answering to an org level hitting coordinator.

Would much rather have done the Ridley deal.

I don't think this is the most up to date info. Schefter tweeted at 1:04 pm that it was Chicagos own pick, and I have not seen any disagreement since.

Absolutely true. This may continue to be one of the bigger feast and famine record distributions we've seen. But given the rest of the schedule for the bears, the question will become whether the lions can outscore our depleted defense or vice versa. If we are closer to 4 wins, likely top 5. If we are at 5 wins, very likely we are much later in the round than we'd expect in previous years.

This is ridiculous. To the extent people lose their minds about Velus, it's because the bears had to go into another draft with no first round or fourth round pick. They had the fewest players on contract at the end of the season in the league. He's a third round pick, it is true, they do not work out sometimes. How is Jalen Tolbert doing? Is that a more acceptable failure to everyone? David Bell leads 3rd round receivers with 9. Tolbert has 3.

Hey they moved Soler to dh in 2019!

It's definitely more than I'd want to give up for Claypool. Esp with a top 5 potential 2nd rounder, you are talking about a pick that's like 20 back from ones that landed AJ Brown and other legit 1s.

very important to make the inevitable "chase claypool is younger than Velus Jones Jr" comment.

I get it but Diontae/Pickens have found production. I am good with it, he's 24. His 2020 was really good, he's big and got typical speed but super athletic. Exactly what they've outlined. I just thought he was a bit overrated when fans were saying "roquan for claypool who says no?". Apparently it was closer than I realized, with just a 4th separating them.

drafted same year as mooney, UFA in 2024. Second rounder so no 5th year option.

I do continue to like how the things poles/flus says they want are what we continue to see them target.

I'm a bit nervous just because production has been super meh, but I'm also not surprised. I figured Bears were going to go after a big receiver. Had a big need for one and the ones in draft are 6 ft

this just in: my browser was stale and I was not first

Bears acquire Chase Claypool for the Roquan 2nd.

Also Grifol checks all those boxes if you have slightly different interpretations if them

Took me a while to understand that Kc point in Cash but yeah not a bad pull.

not as interested in Bourne specifically just happy they are also looking to re-allocate to offense. Bourne not much different than Pettis to me.

I'm not convinced they are real. I think they are the foodies burners.

It's low, but major league teams offer trash salaries in many of their roles because so many people would still take it to work for a MLB team.

That's great news on Montoyo. SHould ease some of the analytics concerns (before blue jays was in Rays system). Like Fredi Gonzalez, I hope Montoyo gets another shot.

You typically have to talk in an interview.

Good stuff.

Every bob nightengale tweet gives me the same reaction as listening to russell wilson talk.
