Not sure who is going back the other way.

Young and a good pickup for depth.

Bears' fan comment from reddit:

Went undrafted last year out of Wisconsin, spent some time on the Bears practice squad before making a few starts late in the season.

Also the only player in the NFL whose name is an anagram for yarn orgy.

From the Bears. Not sure what or who for.

They traded him for a lease of Tom Brady's services through the end of September.

From a Bears fan on twitter:
decent player, great teammate. Started 3 games last year. You got a good guy.

I don't know why, but the minute I saw the name, first thing that came to my mind was "I am Groy" from Guardians of the Galaxy (it's "I am Groot").

Vellano?
Brandon Gibson he knows Fox?
Maybe a conditional 7th

 

[FourierSeries]

Who?

Heh, the only Groot I've ever known was named Ryan.

@OliverBThomas: Ryan Groy was teammates with James White at Wisconsin, where he started 54 games between left guard, left tackle, center and fullback.

Another run blocking OL

From the Bears. Not sure what or who for.

Maybe just a promise that in the 2018 game the Pats will start taking a knee if they reach 50.

Groy was an UDFA for the Bears last year. He started the last three games.

There is no cost at all if the pick is conditional.

At least has some NFL experience and a good amount of games in college, decent competition for Devey and Kline.

Hey, it's the Bears. The trade is for the Pats 2016 #4, unless it occurs in the 4th round.

 

[Love The Drake]

He has to be a upgrade over those 2.
Does this mean we intend to keep James White or maybe they see after further review this is the reason Whites YPC were so high at Wisconsin.

 

[Aßßynormal]

So, how injured is Wendell?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Just wait until the Bears find out we don't actually have that 2016 1st pick!

Helps depth. Why not do it?
