Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

It took a little over five hours of "official" free agency, but I think enough potential suitors are off the market that I think the return for any trade of Fields would be low enough that they may just opt to hang onto him (his contract is fully guaranteed this year and his cap hit is th...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

Would love to see the plans for the lakefront build. 20% more park space after building a new stadium. Assume that includes the tear down of the current Soldier Field. Yes, tearing down the stadium, but leaving up the colonnades. The plan at this time is to have that space converted to parks/athlet...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

Bears sign De'Andre Swift for three years, $24 million.

I am even closer to believing their management has no idea what they are doing.

I look forward to them being unable to trade Fields before the draft.

They've been drafting in the 20s for two decades. It's why they are in this current purgatory of not good and not bad.

Yeah, they aren't up to historic Syracuse levels yet, but Boeheim didn't leave him much (other than Mintz, who's quite good). The last two teams were pretty poor and clearly only built around the idea of getting the ball to his son(s). I hope Autry pans out, because the ACC's coaching talent pool h...
