just saw on ESPN website, but did not listen(it was a video) on whether or not the packers should trade for OBJ...NO!

     there's got to be others with talent sans the team disruptions, the pack can pick up to help out davante

[The Sultan]

I would be fine with OBJ.

Andre Rison had a good run here.

Reminds me of the chance to get Moss at the end of Favre's career.

[JWags85]

I would be fine with OBJ.

He's still only 27 and he wasn't at all the problem in Cleveland last year.  He's a diva and can be petulant, like most star WRs, but in a competent offense with a good QB (which he hasn't had since maybe his 2nd/3rd year), he's as big a weapon as you can get.

If they Packers can get him, they'd be silly not to create the best WR tandem in the NFL.

we had reggie to keep him in line

[The Sultan]

I don't think Reggie had anything to do with it.  I think players like Rison...and Moss...and likely OBJ...adapt to a professional environment.  Especially when they could be running out of chances.

This exactly.  Its why the bad boys work in New England, generally.

Big day for the Packers as Kirk Cousins signs a 2 year extension.

Great deal.  I would have gone for the lifetime contract route, but glad they were able to lock him down.

[Sir Lawrence]

Packers pick up Right Tackle Ricky Wagner, cut from the Lions on Friday.  West Allis proud.

I mean, he's no Jay Cutler, but he's the next best thing.

Bill O'Brien might need a test of some sort. Hopkins for David Johnson? A few picks involved too, but this seems ridiculous. Is Hopkins' shoulder messed up?

Bears signing Bridgewater.

Absent Hopkins injury news, Cardinals absolutely fleeced them.  Incredible.  A 28 year old RB who has only played the full season twice in the last 4 years PLUS a pick, for a top 5 WR in his prime.

Bears signing Bridgewater.

Oh my, could this be the first good Bears news in months?  I was already expecting them to miss out on Hooper

[Pakuni]

Bears signing Bridgewater.

Maybe not.

Michael Lombardi @mlombardiNFL
Hearing from a source Bears trying to get involved with trading for Nick Foles.  Bears are all over this QB market.

Adam Caplan @caplannfl
And from hearing from a few teams and other sources, Teddy Bridgewater is not expected to sign with them even if they don't get Foles.

It seems like the Bears have a plan of no plan other than throwing out any names that might stick.

As a Bears fans, how do you feel about them choosing Trevathan over Kwiatkowski? As a Raiders fan, I'm excited about them signing the latter (assuming terms are reasonable).

That's a really good and under the radar question. I thought Kwiatkowski was outstanding last year, and I didn't think his play was necessarily a byproduct of the guys around him freeing him up, the dude made plays. I think the Bears probably knew coming off injury, they could get better financial terms with Trevathan, that's my hunch. They couldn't afford to keep both, and Kwiatkowski earned his contract. I'm happy for him, seems like a good guy, and doesn't take plays off.

We'll see how the financials play out, but that looks like a really good signing.

For some odd reason, Bears gift wrap two years, $9 mil guaranteed to Jimmy Graham.

Thank you, Mr. Pace.

From a happy Packer fan.

[JWags85]

Yesterday I was hoping for Austin Hooper. That vanished this morning, but then I got the Teddy B news. Made me irrationally excited for the Bears making positive moves.

Now, 12 hours later, that's transitioned to a washed up Jimmy Graham and likely wasting assets on a trade for Andy Dalton. Pace is off the rails

[Pakuni]

Stefon Diggs and. 7th to Buffalo for a 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th.
Vikings arguably got more for Diggs than Houston did for Hopkins.

I don't think it's close to arguable. That's a fantastic haul

Buffalo must think they are getting Herschel Walker.

And the Bears foolish spend a lot of money on the corpse of Jimmy Graham.
