But again, if Leno is held out and we didn't draft Jenkins, how would that be any different?

This feels like posturing by the Colts. We don't need any of those guys....drive down price, but if you are willing to part with your QB3, we will give you a 6th. Starting rehab after two weeks is normal for most surgeries, but the recovery is a month to two months. Also, most recovery doesn't consider contact.

Yeah Foles is a niche QB, in the right system and with a great O-Line, he can be really good.

The main issue with Indy is the Foles-Wentz drama. Foles can start on a few teams and would definitely be a QB2 on most others. It is crazy to think we have him sitting as QB3. Hopefully we can get something for him and gain some cap space to boot.

Up to 3 months and then Wentz has rehab, so it could be 3 1/2 to 4 months before he plays again. At worst that is November/December. At best October. Foles agent should be busy getting this done. Such an obvious fit with the coaches there.

Mongo, that list is for payment via LeagueSafe.

Wow, an old injury. Foles time? A 4th rounder? Lets go!

Even in drills, he has been noticeably faster/stronger. He was dealing with an injury all last year and it is clearly better than it was.

After seeing the analysis of the first week of TC, it really seems like the team is content on Dalton starting and allowing Fields to get more experience before getting thrown into the fire. It will be curious to see how the team handles him compared to JAX, SF, NYJ, and NE, all who drafted 1st round QBs. An interesting note, Mac Jones has looked better than Newton early on, which is impressive going to a team like NE.

This is a great first test with some joint practices. Those are always fun to see. Miami is very similar to the Bears, they finished 10-6, had a top 10 defense and a top 20 offense. The Bears had a slightly better defense and slightly worse offense. I think we have the edge on both sides of the ball this year. I would take the Bears units every time, thoughts? Tua/Brissett vs Dalton/Fields Gaskin/Brown vs Monty/Williams/Cohen Parker/Fuller/Waddle vs ARob/Mooney/Goodwin Gesicki/Shaheen vs Kmet/Graham/James

Vildor is also getting snaps across from Johnson. Nichols has been dominant and Quinn is getting to the QB. Those are good signs. This defense is going to be legit. For the offense, I don't think we have had a QB room this good ever. Foles is QB3 and could start on some teams. Dalton looks like the solid vet and Fields is turning heads while still learning. A great problem to have. My hope is they can flip Foles to NYJ or now IND for a mid-round pick and clear some cap space. Monty and Arob are faster, and Mooney, Byrd, and Goodwin are smoking fast. Fields is loving his TEs. Kmet and James making a lot of plays. This offense is probably the best we have had since Marshall, Jeffery, Forte, Bennett. I know the O-Line is a concern, but this offense is going to score more and the defense is going to allow less. I a figure a 3 point swing overall. That is probably good for 2-3 wins. So 10-11 wins seems like the target. Vegas at 7.5 seems like some easy money.

Gents about 10 days until GM confirmation. We need 3 more to respond and make payment. If you know anyone in the league, please remind them. I am starting to send out reminders via email. Confirmed/Paid: Adam, Andrew, Ary, Brad, Duane, David, and Kam Not Confirmed/Unpaid: Jason, Steve (Mongo), and Nopper.

The same thing could've happened if the Bears drafted a CB, kept Leno and he got injured. I don't think this situation is any different. I would rather have them exercise caution than try to make him play thru it and he gets worse. It might take a few weeks, but we still have about 6 weeks until the regular season. Once teams start cutting their rosters, I am sure the Bears will pick someone else up for insurance.

Hardy is a camp body for sure.

"Last Dance" when you never won crap together lol. It will really set the Bears up for a long, extended run, starting next year. No Rodgers or Adams in Fields 2nd year. Watch out NFL!

We won't have any comp picks next year as we signed Dalton, Blackson, and Attaochu and lost RRH, Patterson, and Trubisky.

We now have the following: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 5th (HOU), 6th 1st and 4th to NYG for Fields, 7th to HOU with Miller.

Boom, at least they met my minimum lol.

James definitely comes in as the lead TE3. He has a lot of upside as a pass catcher compared to Dion Sims and Harris. He may be our best blocking TE in quite some time. Butt has dealt with injuries but came into the league as a mid-level prospect. It seems like Holtz, Horsted, and Butt will compete for the final roster spots.

He fills the need for a true blocking TE and now makes the TE room really solid with Kmet, Graham, Butt, and James.

So they can be activated any time during camp, however, if it goes into the season, he will have to miss the first 6 weeks of the season. It looks like Dazz Newsome will also be on the PUP list for training camp. Hopefully, he will get back in a few weeks because the Bears have preseason games in 3-5 weeks.

Looks like it was a pick swap, hopefully we at least got a 5th for him and only gave up a 7th.

9 receptions in the last 5 games (including playoff game). He has been a non factor most of his career. They were not resigning or extending and with players reporting this week, it makes sense. Goodwin and Byrd are both better. Get something for him, just wish it was before or during the draft. What a waste of a 2nd round pick.

The Rodgers drama, now Davante Adams? This may all end up being nothing, but both of them could be gone after this year. I never saw this coming. I didn't realize he was a year older than ARob. I also didn't realize Adams has only had 2x 1000 yd seasons. He is a TD machine, but has only hit 100 receptions and 100 yards twice. The fact that they offered Rodgers a 2-yr extension to make him the league's highest paid player also speaks volumes about how they really feel about Jordan Love.

With 17 game season, it's a must. We need a front 7 rotation outside of Roquan. On offense, the same thing, don't kill Monty if Williams can do similar things.
