ASHKUM BEAR

I almost wonder if that was part of his plan. We expected him to make a splash in FA and draft last offseason. He signed a bunch of average DTs that better fit the scheme but left pundits scratching as to why no edge or stud DT. It worked out pretty good. He did push for Buckner but landed Simmons, who is a bigger prize once he seen the team is looking good to contend. The backfield with Bryant, Thienemen, Gordon, and Bush at LB will be something else. DA will be able to elevate his scheme to BJ level.

Rumors spreading like a wild fire about Chargers and Bears close to making a Mack trade. Sounds like its between the Bears and 49ers and the pricea 4th or 5th

I wonder who loses their roster spot due to the addition of Simmons. Might need to free up a little cap too create flexibility DE Jeremiah Kromah cut, they also signed Josh Butler CB to practice squad

The butterfly affect..

Dayo was looking good on 3rd downs, Booker is stepping up. Gordon and Thieneman are blitzing to confuse qbs. I cannot wait until Bryant gets back to move Lewis back to depth rotation. Some one needs to poke JJ with a stick to see if hes alive. The Bears have capitalized on Caleb Williams rookie contract.

I think Sweat will also be motivated after hearing coach Johnson say Hardy played well over the last two games and deserves more opportunities. Basically the Bears never missed Sweat, so he needs to ball out. With the addition of Simmons, who is owed 27 mil next season, the Bears can cut Sweat with no dead money. That seems like a.no brainer, imo.

We would have QB Andy Dalton and Eberflus while living with 4 win seasons. I really think Kevin Warren told Poles to go get Ben Johnson. I do not think that happens if Poles had to go to the McCaskeys

Yes, the Bears do not owe him the signing portion which is a plus

They traded two 1sts, a 4th and received Simmons and a 5th. I think those later picks are in 2028

Rich, yes but they have the best guy at the position that becomes the center piece to build around for years. These are projected late 20 right now. It would take a year or more for those draft picks to even come close to producing at half his level. Still waiting on Odunze and heck Loveland has flashed but not there yet

One of the greatest plays in Bears history. They really need to have that in any documentaries about this team and how it started. The Bears might have one of the best media/PR teams, love the media the make like 1920 Football Drive, or Mic'd up.

If they didn't fire Eberflus, this never happens. Ben Johnson was the right person to bring Caleb along and hopefully the Bears to a championship. They both have a ways to go, we see them opportunities lost by small mistakes. They will get there

Zavior Scott RB/ST has earned a spot on the 53 man with contract. Nick McCloud DB was released to make room. I have not seen if they signed anyone else to the practice squad or will see if McCloud takes his spot tomorrow

Id take Simmons, you know we will use a 1st or 2nd on DT and they are an unknown at the pro level.

Just heard that and came here to see if it was reported. Damn, he is an upgrade to their run game and Jadarian Price's practice window has opened and could be activated.
