Proof that the Bears are not a GOOD team:

Can we just low key grab Ebron or trade for Howard

I take that as good news. One team potentially avoiding TE early on in the draft.

Proof that the Bears are not a GOOD team:

Other than re-signing your own players, the regret rate for day 1 of Free Agency (or whatever today is) has to be in the 90% range. These contracts are just so, so bad. All marginal players who were bad enough that their teams didn't care if they reached UFA, and all getting top market deals. Jesus..teams will never learn.

If Brady's really in play for Tampa Bay, Howard's not going to be coming to the Patriots (at least not before that gets resolved).

I think Miami is going to be happy with their CB duo.

I agree with the Mariota vs MIA Tannehill comparison. We can think of a lot of QBs who go on a hot streak then get paid. Flacco. Foles. Now Tannehill. I guess coaches/GMs think there is more to it than just a few weeks/months where everything happens to come together. Maybe Tannehill will be the exception to the rule, and the system is just right for him. But it's pretty clear the system was never right for Mariota. We never saw him really put it together. The team and the fan base were done with him. I think the choice was TB12 vs Tannehill and the coach and GM seemed to always favor bringing Tannehill back.

Mariota has never been as good as Tannehill aside from one season. Even Miami Tannehill is a superior QB to Mariota by quite a margin.

Bears must have run out of toilet paper and needed something soft

Byron Jones to MIA. Highest paid CB. Massive overpay!

************. I’d take Graham but no where close to that money

Don’t know why tampa is not focused on getting OL help.

Long way to go yet

Dolphins spending big money on guys like Jones and Van Noy is nice on paper but until they really fix that offensive line, nothing's happening. Ereck Flowers isn't fixing anything.

By the way....wouldn't it be better to just '86 the "tampering period"....I mean when the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday, there won't be any FA's left......

IOW, what "free agency"?

Unbelievable...its dumb desperate moves like this that get the cream of the crop players to question their own contracts 2 or 3 years down the road. He has like 2 interceptions in 5 years, isn’t a top 5 cb but he’s the highest paid. Brilliant...
