I think it makes the salary cap much harder to navigate to add Maxx and still have DJ's salary on the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it's probably 50/50 at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my idea doesn't really take the cap into account. Moore may restructure but I think in the end he is the odd man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His deal clears the most space with the least amount of dead cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to trade for Crosby, trading DJ makes a ton of sense. I think the most I'd consider is the 2026 1st, 2027 2nd, and Moore. Crosby is not the player Parsons is.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Coming to you live from beautiful Hammond Indiana, we're here for the Chicago Bears vs the Green Bay Packers... Building an "entertainment district" in Hammond is honestly hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The partisans on my Facebook feed make it sound like a done deal and that Illinois is going to lose another business, regardless of what Illinois does.

Kyyle23 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I guess the only good thought I have about this whole thing is that the Sox were so close to moving to Tampa that they built the Tropicana dome for them, and they ended up staying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not entirely on Illinois for where they are at. The Bears fucked this up with securing the Arlington Heights location without negotiating anything with the state or local government.

Maybe there will be a breakthrough to stay in Illinois. It doesn’t feel that way, but it is still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'm all for blaming the Bears - but in my mind, at least based upon what is out there, the Bears ownership is taking a pretty fair and balanced approach with IL...so this is more on the state and local areas in my mind. Asking for tax certainty and infastructure seems like a fair play knowing what the Bears plan on putting into the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Illinois can get a rebate on the money sent to federal government that is then sent Indiana's way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
