Finally, Significant Offseason NFC North News

[Zool]

They should be better. They were one of the worst run defenses in the NFL last year. Tomlinson will help. Not sure what kind of shape Pierce will be in. They have young CBs. They played a little better towards the end of the year, but not well enough to make me think they have that position fixed. They gave up 33 points to the Bears (in a must win game), 52 points vs. the Saints, and 35 points to the Lions in the last three weeks. Stud Harrison Smith is aging (32). Not sure if they'll get Anthony Harris back. Barr is an old 29. We'll see. it looks like a middle of the road defense. Getting a healthy Hunter back would be huge though. He's a stud.

Read somewhere that Hunter wants some new money.

This is the story of the Bears for the last 70 years. They have 3 QB's, but really they have none.

(Had to edit this. Don't want to start that "one line post" shit again)

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday on Good Morning Football that Bears GM Ryan Pace and Seahawks GM John Schneider met in Fargo, North Dakota, presumably after attending Trey Lance's pro day, and discussed a potential swap for the discontented QB.

"They talked, offers were exchanged," Rapoport said. "The Bears certainly made a big offer -- multiple first-round picks. The Seahawks slept on it. They discussed it. Yesterday, they decided, specifically coach Pete Carroll, 70 years old, does not want to rebuild, decided we are not trading Russell Wilson to the Bears."

Only after the Seahawks made it clear they weren't trading Wilson did the Bears move to sign Dalton as the stand-in.

It's the type of drama that could be the first act of a hit rom-com.

So the guy who drafted Trubisky instead of Mahomes or Deshaun Watson was trying to trade multiple 1st round picks to make up for that mistake. That's why the Bears are the Bears.

I did not know that Russell Wilson was "discontented." Did that just happen this winter; was this the Winter of His Discontent?

Why is the Russmeister discontented? I thought he was the ultimate team guy?

And the Bears still suck.

It sounds like he hates Pete Carroll. Hard to blame him really. That guy is a dickbag.

Probably tired of the punishment that comes with being the team's whole offense. Last year was the team's 2nd leading rusher and was sacked 47 times. And that was a typical year for him.

I now have something in common with Russell Wilson, I, too, hate Pete Carroll.

As the others have said, it's Carroll hate. The meeting that leaked out, before the season, Russ called a pow-wow. It was Pete Carroll and his two kids , who are his assistant coaches. Russ outlined his ideas to give him more offensive tools. Carroll and his kids blew him off. Russ stormed out, saying this ain't the end of this shit.

And now we are here. I don't blame Wilson. Anybody would want out of that mess.

DAN PATRICK show reported Bears offered up 3 first round picks, a third rounder and two starters for Russell Wilson. Rumored one was Ruquon Smith.

No, I think I would fire Pete Carroll and let Russ cook. But then again, I hate Pete Carroll.

The hate for Carroll baffles me. The guy’s 70, yet he still finds ways to relate to Seattle’s hip hop players. Even took off his shirt after DK did it.

Desperate people take desperate measures. And end up with Andy Dalton, HAHAHA!

You mean, for Aaron Rodgers? Three first rounders from Chicago, plus a third, plus Rogaine Smith?

I suppose it depends on what you think you have in Jordan Love. But then, you wouldn't trade Rodgers to da Bears.

Nah, never mind.

Hey Fritz, the Leos are trying to start a "Packers East". Boyle, Williams, who's next for the Packers JV team in Detroit?

I'd say 'no'. That's a lot of shit, but Rodgers is the regular season GOAT.

I'd rather have the bird/GOAT in the hand than a bunch of "maybies".
