QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) This is all contingent on them working out an extension of course. Like SoCal said on Twitter, trade discussions start with his agent to try and get a deal done before any trade. If he doesn't want to extend, you obviously don't give up all that much. The "and" in "letting go of Cutler and/or Jeffery" was a bit much I do admit. Looking at their cap situation next year, they really wouldn't even have to lose either. All reports I've read said he will be ready for training camp. A trade down and a 4th should get it done, but I wouldn't hesitate to give up a 3rd rounder for a guy who is probably the 2nd best 5 tech in football. That said, I will admit to having no idea how to put value on NFL trades. Bears have plenty of cap for Jeffery, Long, and Wilkerson (if we were to get him). Cutler's contract will come off the books in a few years most likely.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 2, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) These Aston Villa fans remind me of the 2014 Bears season. Lol I was thinking the same thing. Can't wait for this Tottenham-Liverpool match at 1130.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 1, 2016 -> 07:15 PM) Someone tweeted a mock draft where the Bears got Bosa at 11. I'd crap myself if he made it past the top 5. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/mock-drafts/...6502-sf23526502 That's the worst mock draft I've seen this year. Honestly awful.

Would you do this: Bears trade 11th pick to the Jets for Wilkerson and the 19th pick.

Alec Hanson not in Oklahoma's rotation this weekend.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:41 PM) Did I miss what happened to Randy Orton? Did he get hurt or something? BR put out a list of the highest paid wrestlers and he's #4. Shoulder surgery.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Will he play Safety? Is he any good at Safety? Mainly a ST guy. Gunner and kick returner.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) Bears have added some serious depth on the interior OL, and heck, we could still add another OT in the draft. I imagine Long moving to LT is a real possibility. Let them all battle it out in training camp and may the best 5 win. This is a nice problem to have after the last decade of OL issues. I'm convinced the Bears are going to take OT Ronnie Staley. Also, I mentioned Knile Davis, Raiders also looking to trade Mychal Rivera. Leno for Rivera? We know Pace has been going hard at TE's this off season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) I think thats what SP18 was trying to say. He is not untouchable, especially for a player with Russells talent level Yes thank you. Definitely not untouchable.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Has to be Slauson or Leno I'm guessing Leno. Slauson is a beast and extremely cheap for the level he produces at. Chiefs are trying to trade RB Knile Davis. Leno for Davis? Nile Davis is a great kick returner, fast as could be, and would be a good change of pace back with Langford and Carey. No rumor of this, just throwing it out there.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl 30s30 seconds ago Teams have been informed that they're out of the race to sign C/G Ted Larsen, so expect him to sign with the #Bears. Biggs tweeted that they have signed him. Biggs also hinting at a trade involving an OL.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) Is Russell even that good? I know he is young and has lots of potential, but Butler is an already established star. I would trade anyone on the team besides Jimmy for him. Butler isn't a star. He's very good, but not a star. I'd trade Butler for Russell, Hibbert and their top pick like 2k suggested.

Wonder who this mysterious recruit is that's going to visit UI tomorrow

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) Not him, last I heard Alex Roux ‏@aroux94 LaLu HC Shane Heirman tells me Tilmon won't be on campus before team's tourney trip to NY tomorrow. Illini still preparing for Wed. visitor I was just gonna come and edit that, thank you for that. Wonder who the visitor is? Finke? Goodwin? Hopefully it's Goodwin.

Supposedly there are rumors that UI is going to have Tilmon on campus tomorrow.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) No. Thibs has become so overrated it's hysterical. You're opinion, but he could win with s*** for a roster.

Had my big fantasy draft last night. I lost out on Franco and Lindor as they were just too expensive for my liking. Here's my team C Brian McCann/Derek Norris 1B Freddie Freeman/Mitch Moreland 2B Dee Gordon/Brett Lawrie 3B Anthony Rendon/Yunel Escobar SS Trevor Story/Eduardo Escobar/J.P Crawford OF Bryce Harper/Giancarlo Stanton/Starling Marte/Corey Dickerson SP Stephen Strasburg/Carlos Rodon/Carlos Martinez/Michael Pineda/Luis Severino/Eduardo Rodriguez/Lance McCullers/Aaron Sanchez/ Tyler Glasnow/Carson Fulmer RP Craig Kimbrel/David Robertson/Dellin Betances Thoughts?

Without Thibs (arguably a top 3 coach in the NBA), GarPax is now under 500 with the Bulls.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 29, 2016 -> 12:50 AM) This off-season should be interesting If you mean resigning Gasol for 20 million a year, then sure.

How was last night's show? Had fantasy draft all night.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 04:53 PM) Are you saying Travis Ishikawa would force us to add him to the 40 man? I think we are set with having Avi being the DH so that last spot is such a toss up right now. I wouldn't mind giving Davidson a chance but if he isn't really going to get a chance to hit much we might as well have him start in AAA. Yes, as Ishikawa isn't on the 40 man roster right now. I can't remember if the 40 man is at 38 or 39 right now, but one of those spots is for sure going to be Rollins. I wouldn't mind giving Davidson a chance at the everyday DH spot as well. Could also spot in the field for Frazier or Abreu (move Frazier to 1B) Also, Sanchez has 2 dingers today.

Davidson gets Raburn out! That's 1.0 WAR right there.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) The question is: How important is a LH back up 1B/DH? And worth a 40 man roster spot (Davidson, Sands, and Sanchez already on the 40 man). Rollins will get one too.

Let's go over the final spot with Saldino, Shuck, and backup C being 3 of the bench spots. Sanchez- Great defense, average offense Sands- Worse than Avi in the OF, pretty good stick Ishikawa- LH bat, plays 1B, has had a good spring Davidson- Mashing this spring, but can it continue? Pretty good defense at 3B, can he play 1B?
