2020-21 NFL Season

Detroit media reporting it as done.

[The Sultan]

He's a good back.  If Jones got away, I would have been perfectly happy retaining Williams.

[Jockey]

That makes me feel 0% better.  They still didn't get it done and then hurriedly panicked signed a bum.  This franchise is doomed

Glennon, Trubiskey, Daniels, Foles, Dalton are more than "a" bum. That's 5 bums.

Now I expect these idiots to draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round (maybe even 1st) to be a 3rd stringer who will get 0 reps in practice. The Bearsy-ish guy out there is Ian Book.

Good deal for Detroit and Williams. Average runner. Above average receiver and pass protector.

[Pakuni]

Detroit media reporting it as done.

And the Lions search for a post-Barry running game plods on.
They've drafted six RBs in the first or second round since 2010 and have very little to show for it.

[tower912]

Eternally.   Swift, Williams, and probably Kerryon Johnson.  And they are going to have to contribute behind Goff.

[MU82]

Rather than stay with the coaching staff that knew how to use him (the Panthers), WR Curtis Samuel signed with the Washington team ... and a coaching staff that spent 3 years under-utilizing him when that same staff ran the Panthers.

The WFT had more money to spend, so I guess I don't blame him for bolting. And maybe Rivera's people actually learned a few things watching how the Panthers deployed him.

I'll miss Samuel, who became one of my favorite players last season. But the Panthers have a ton of needs, and the draft is deep in WRs.

[Herman Cain]

Larry Fitzgerald is a free agent for the first time in his career.

My gosh, do the Bears suck.

Even the old lady is growling under her breath, "Good God, my team sucks!"

Virginia McCaskey will go straight to heaven because Purgatory for her has been putting up with the piece of s*it team her sons and grandsons have driven into the ground.

The only team with more loyal fans than the Bears is the Packers and at least Packer fans are periodically rewarded. Bear fans are still living in the twilight shadow of a Super Bowl victory from 35 years ago.

[The Sultan]

I'm pretty sure Virginia is part of the problem.

Indeed

This is just being kind cause she's a very elderly woman...

Precisely.  She created the culture of McCaskey nepotism and complacency.  She put her unqualified son in charge of the team and let him run it into the ground.  Keeping with the family carte blanche, they have allowed Ted Phillips to run the team terribly for decades.  It's one of the premier franchises in the NFL and they haven't had a true football person in one of the 3 most important seats for 30 years.  Virginia is also part of the reason they live in purgatory cause they refuse to bottom out as she's been quoted as saying she wants to win now repeatedly.  I don't wish the end of life on anyone but I won't miss her when she's gone and her dipshit offspring are forced to sell the team.

Michael was incompetent. George is timid. Ted is a bean counter.

No surprise the franchise has done very little during their tenures. This franchise is lost until Virginia dies. But, at this point, she's going to live to be 110.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Reports of Trubisky to the Bills, 1 year 2.5 million

Pace and Nagy are playing chess while rest of NFL is playing checkers. Send Mitch out for a year to learn under an all-pro then bring him back to lead the Bears to a super bowl.

Gang, there's too many shirt-tail Halases and McCaskeys who are living off that team. You've got a family that if they didn't have the Bears would be barely qualified to manage a low-end food cart, much less a multi-billion empire. They'll NEVER sell. Someone would have to offer them about $15 billion to even think about it.

The Green Bay Packers will be sold before the McCaskeys sell the Bears -- and we all know when the Packers will be sold -- NEVER!!!!

As long as Virginia is living, this is true.

However, once she is gone, different ballgame. The structure of the ownership shares after her passing is reportedly very complex and convoluted. Shares going to family members across the generations. Some are involved with the team, many others are not. George McCaskey is going to have his hands full keeping it all together.

Exactly.  They structured it in a way to potentially avoid inheritance tax issues when she dies, but it could end up biting them.  Plus, the Bears are supremely undervalued due to the McCaskeys being inept.  So while nobody is making a bid while Virginia is alive, the windfall from a deep pocketed owner to be could be very inviting to the hangers on and there will be plenty

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Bears just released Fuller because they signed Dalton when they already have Foles.

Just a staggering level of incompetence.

[Dish]

Guys, call me crazy, but I'm disliking these Bears moves.

Cutting Fuller before Graham is completely bizarre to me but these are the Bears so....

[jesmu84]

Guys, call me crazy, but I'm disliking these Bears moves.

At least Robert Quinn is still on the roster

[Jockey]

Guys, call me crazy, but I'm disliking these Bears moves.

Quinn + Dalton = Fuller release.

Will Hicks be next?

[Jockey]

At least Robert Quinn is still on the roster

Thank you, Mr. Pace. Terrible contract so they would take a huge cap hit by releasing Quinn.

[Jockey]

Is this where Arod says re-do my contract to open cap room for Fuller. It would take some work, but gotta act when the window is open.
