QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) On an unrelated topic, Kyle Long came out yesterday and indicated he'd like to play with Alex Boone (who happens to be a FA). He would be a pretty big upgrade at RG and essentially confirm Long stays at tackle. Boone fits that mold too where he's young (28, turning 29 in May) to be a part of the core group on that OL. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Relevant as I believe the Bears have been linked to Janoris Jenkins, who would clearly be an upgrade at CB (a position I see the Bears either drafting early or signing via FA). That said, Trumaine Johnson is young and pretty damn good himself. Rand Getlin ‏@Rand_Getlin 3h3 hours ago Despite reports on Trumaine Johnson receiving the franchise tag from the #Rams, I firmly believe it's going to be used on Janoris Jenkins. I'd love Trumaine Johnson. Brings that size and ball skills that Fangio loves. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) Jets apparently interested in Shea. Good. Have him

Rose playing tonight.

Miami uses the transition tag on DE Oliver Vernon. Miami has the right to match any offer that teams offer Vernon, so he will hit the market. Last year they lost Charles Clay to Buffalo I believe after placing the transition tag on him. If Bears like him, could offer big money to him. He fits the mold of a McPhee.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) Samardzija may have said a couple of things, but he made it 100% clear he wanted to go into free agency. The bad season last year sunk him, so the Sox wouldn't even bother competing for his services as any contract was an overpayment. I feel this is more genuine. I agree with everything here Austin. Frazier just seems like a more personable guy/player. Fans will love him here.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 06:56 AM) Jordan Sheffield was impressive again on Friday. I like him a lot. 7.0 IP 5 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 11 SO Between him and Kyle Lewis, those are my favorites at their respective positions.

If he has a good year, I'd love Todd Frazier in a Sox uniform for years to come

Apparently Ambrose has a title shot with HHH. Hopefully that's next week in Chicago.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Reading it might be the nonexclusive tag that is put on Jeffery. According to Leming that would mean he can negotiate with other teams but the Bears can match any offer or take 2 1st rounders. I expect them to match, but 2 first rounders would be pretty intriguing. Edit...it is indeed the nonexclusive tag. Very smart move by Pace. I don't think a team is willing to give up 2 1st round picks, but you never know. Still think it's safe to say Bears and Jeffery will agree to a long term deal before July 15th

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Brian Hedger ‏@BrianHedger 5m5 minutes ago Bickell's agent has permission to seek trade scenarios, which he's doing. He's hopeful but knows cap situation is a tough one. #Blackhawks 5 retweets 2 likes If Bowman can pull this off without getting rid of Pokka, Hartman, or Forsling and I'll be ecstatic.

Michael Boedker to the Avs.

Hawks trade D Dennis Robertson to Carolina for G Drew McIntyre (not the wrestler). Goalie for Rockford for the playoffs. Leighton will be 3rd goalie for playoffs.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) I hope that there are plenty of good pitching options out there. There should be. However, I'll tell you a little story from last year. I finished 3rd with Carrasco, Verlander, Quintana, Richards, and Stroman as my starting 5 pitchers. I figured I'd load up on hitting and address my pitching needs in the draft. In fantasy, a great offense always beats good pitching in terms of cost (auction).

Mainsail got caught at a club drinking champaign hours after the Grand Jury thing lol

Our keeper deadline is today. My final and official keepers are: C Brian McCann 1B Freddie Freeman 2B Dee Gordon SS Rights to Fransisco Lindor 3B Rights to Maikel Franco OF Bryce Harper OF Giancarlo Stanton OF Starling Marte SP Stephen Strasburg SP Carlos Rodon SP Carlos Martinez SP Rights to Lance McCullers SP Rights to Eduardo Rodriguez I have $100 for 18 players to fill out my roster.

10, 26, and 49 now. I like that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Damn Eli Apple just slid into the first round with a 4.4 Matt Miller always has had him in the 1st round. Supposedly the 40 times are a bit quicker than they really are. For example, Lee's 40 time stopped when he had about 5 feet left. CB William Jackson ran a 4.32 and 4.39. I think he can be in play at 11 for the Bears.

Can we lock this thread before it gets out of hand?

Whoever gets butt hurt over this needs to climb out from under their rock. Goff is a f***ing clown himself.

Illinois just got Damonte Williams! Absolute huge get

If Illinois loses to Minnesota at home with 4 of their top 7 scorers out, no way Groce survives.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) That's good, but I'm more worried about good drafting than I am worried about cap space. At some point, the Bears need a couple of great draft picks at reasonable clips to fill all the holes they have. Well, they had a good first year, and that was without their 1st round pick.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) On the insider board it sounds like Williams, Tilmon, and Goodwin will all likely be Illini if Groce stays. Doubt that happens at this point, but hopefully the new coach makes quick progress like Groce was his first year. Sounds like the school itself is more important than the coaching staff for Williams, which could be good. That would be amazing. To go along with Pickett. Easy top 5 class right there

Panthers get Hudler, Purcell, and Kindl. I hope we get a Hawks/Panthers Stanley Cup Final. That would be great.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Weise really turns it on in the playoffs. Can't wait to play the Kings. (If we do of course) He and Lucic do not like each other at all. Also very classy of Kruger to give Ladd his #16. The people in Chicago with Ladd jerseys are definitely the happiest. What about the people with Kruger jerseys?
