Perhaps it’s a good thing we did not make this trade last season. The Bears Still Suck. 😂
Deion Sanders may have his left foot amputated as he continues to experience significant problems with blood flow to the area.

This should also be in TBSS thread.

So we would've lost the chance to draft Reed if we traded for Claypool?
I like how this worked out.
Upbeat offseason story on Rashan Gary rehab!

So long as nobody puts an eye out, it's all good.

Why is it that the most rich and powerful people on Earth want to play their games in muck that is worse than what's pumped out of a porta-potty on a construction site?
It even rolls downhill far enough to reach TOG-level assholes...
Is dirty politics an oxymoron?
Former NFL linebacker Blake Martinez made nearly $30 million during his seven-year career, but after retiring last season, he’s making plenty of money in a very different field.
Martinez has started his own business in the world of Pokemon card sales, and he says that world is becoming as lucrative for him as football was.
Martinez told TheAthletic.com that his retirement came when he realized he could do very well financially in the Pokemon business, and do so without risk of injury.
“I just asked myself, do I want to keep starting over from ground zero with football, and keep destroying my body, or do I want to start over from ground zero here, and do something I can actually sustain for a long time? I loved football. But what I found out was I loved building and running my own team even more,” Martinez said.
Martinez said his business, Blake’s Breaks, has brought in $11.5 million in revenue so far. He may end up making more from dealing in collectibles than he made playing football.
@RapSheet: Sources: #Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor has formally requested a trade after meeting with owner Jim Irsay.
Demands without leverage.
or do I want to start over from ground zero here, and do something I can actually sustain for a long time?
He thinks a Pokemon card business is sustainable for a long time?
Former 1st Rounder Sony Michel retires after only 5 seasons.
Michel said it was his body "talking" to him. He just drove another nail in the coffin of RBs. But, he has two Superb Owl rings, so he's not leaving empty-handed.
@AaronWilson_NFL: #Texans waived Amari Rodgers
Has Jonathan Taylor been on a dark retreat this whole off season? Has he missed where the entire league has given the middle finger to RBs? Even if he is traded, is his new team giving him a new contract? Doubtful. The whole league doesn't want to pay RBs.
I get it, these RBs know their risk of injury is high so they want to get paid ASAP. But GMs and owners know that the risk of injury is high so they don't want to pay these guys. Sucks but it is what it is.
I'm not surprised the NFL won't pay RBs because they haven't been a hot commodity in the draft for several years. When a team can draft starting caliber RBs in the later rounds and considering the shelf life the writing was on the wall.

IIRC, the guys that signed their tenders get paid $10.9M.
I doubted Taylor could get half of that on the market.
He's on the last year of his contract, and has a $4.3M base salary.
I don't think he could even get that much.
No matter what happens, I don't want to see him wind up in the NFCN.

Marcedes Lewis signing with Bears.
Vikings South. Signing any former Packers they can get their hands on.
They could use a 6th lineman to block for Fields.
Bares sign 2 tight ends who couldn't do a lot with AR throwing the ball. Marcedes might have a negative # of balls thrown his way with W.C.

Vikings keep coming up just a little short.
I have to admit that I kinda miss the Tommy Kramer era.
Times they are a changing. Back in the day a scandal meant getting caught in Vegas with drugs and hookers.
Now the scandal involves Pokémon cards.
Over the weekend at the infamous Chicago Soldier field (I sure hope Gary doesn’t play in the opening game) during an exhibition English Football match:
Chelsea’s preparations for the new season have suffered a major blow with the £53 million signing Christopher Nkunku sidelined for up to four months after undergoing knee surgery.
The 25-year-old France forward, the standout performer during Chelsea’s pre-season tour to the United States, damaged the meniscus in his left knee by catching his studs on a poor pitch at Chicago’s Soldier Field Stadium.

All the way back to Eddie Lee Ivery getting injured in the . That injury changed the trajectory of the Packers under Bart Starr. He looked like a future Hall of Famer in training camp that summer. He lasted 3 carries (for 24 yards) in his first regular season game at Soldier Field before tearing up his knee.
He came back and was decent in 1980 (his second year) and then tore up his knee in 1981 in the opening game at Soldier Field.

Why doesn't the NFL make da Bears fix that shithole of a stadium and turf?
They put money into Soldier Field about 20 years ago. LOL
And botched it

Sorry for your loss. I have been a Spurs fan for 43 years. I know all about losses😂

Because da bears dont own it. Shitcago does and they dont care!
I don't care who owns it. The NFLFU should step in and get that shit turf fixed. I don't care who they bill, just get the field in playable condition.
