Trade the Texans Coward for Watson so they drop out?

if only

It's Bill O'Brien. You never know.

Bears are out of the Larry Warford chase

The Saints have dropped guard Larry Warford onto the open market.

[Flyn]

I have been watching twitter hoping to see the Bears picked him up.

IF the Bears O line is improved this year with better coaching, OK, they knew what they are doing. IF not, they're idiots.

 

[Shawn1112]

IF not, they're idiots.

This is true

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, a Pro Bowler O Guard in his 20s doesn't show up in FA every day.

Mike McCaskey has died. Cancer.

Michael McCaskey, who took over the reins of the Chicago Bears from his grandfather George Halas in 1983 before the team achieved its greatest moment two years later, died Saturday at age 76, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McCaskey became the president and CEO of the Bears in 1983 and remained at the helm of the organization in a long run, serving as the chairman of the board from 1999 until 2011, when he stepped down and was replaced by his brother George.

McCaskey battled cancer for a considerable time. The oldest of Ed and Virginia McCaskey’s 11 children, McCaskey is survived by two children, John and Kathryn, and one grandson, Jackson.

If the 2020 season even happens, I'm in the 2020 will be worse than 2019 camp. Nothing will change and the bears will never be consistently competitive. This metro area needs a second NFL team if Chicagoland wants a shot at success.

Let's rank all 32 NFL offseasons: The Bucs are No. 1, and Houston is last

The Cowboys, Broncos and Browns upgraded their offenses, but only one team added the GOAT this offseason.

TE Ben Braunecker cut. Bears are down to 8 TEs.

 

[Kensington]

Shaheen should be any day now

 

[Flyn]

Yeah. Only reason he's still there is it looks bad to dump a 2nd round pick.

 

[Shawn1112]

They will keep Shaheen around, he is cheap. Possibly trade bate (7th-8th rd pick)

 

[Kensington]

Shaheen to Dolphins for conditional 6th

 

[Flyn]

Hopefully he makes the team.

 

[Kensington]

Not counting on it

 

[Flyn]

Turns out the pick is a guaranteed 7th round that could turn into a 6th. Good maneuvering by Pace in getting anything for Shaheen.

The Shaheen trade was ever sweeter than originally reported as the Dolphins are sending a 7th-round pick to the Bears that could become a 6th-rounder if certain conditions are met. Getting a guaranteed pick for a player that was likely getting cut is a nice consolation prize for GM Ryan Pace.

Bears let 3 go and officially announce the details of the Shaheen trade

The Chicago Bears appear to be getting down to the 80 man roster limit rather that staying at 90 and practicing in a split squad during camp.

Bears cut CB Tre Roberson. Non football injury designation. Hurt training at home. Roberson was trying to make the jump from the CFL to the NFL.

 

[Kensington]

Eddie Goldman has opted out of this season because of health concerns

[Shawn1112]

Updated info said groin not the knee

 

[Flyn]

Knee? I didn't see that reported. Must have been another feed.

Either way, it's not good.

 

[Kensington]

Fantastic

 

[Fish]

Pace will trade to get Howard back. Only give up a 2nd round pick.

 

[Fish]

2-4 Weeks.

Bears RB David Montgomery (groin) expected to miss 2-4 weeks

David Montgomery's groin injury might not keep him out as long as Bears fans feared. The running back is expected to be out two to four weeks.
