Finally, Significant Offseason NFC North News

[George Cumby]

The hate for Carroll baffles me.

The guy’s 70..... Even took off his shirt after DK did it.

It would.

It now becomes clear to me, you are aroused by older naked men. Your hate for Ted and your incessant harping on his lifestyle was just a projection and the frustrated rantings of an unrequited lust/love.

Hey KY Pack? What about " Rams East" with Michael Brockers joining Jared Goff with the kitty cats?

Pack rams? Ram packers? Which is gayer? Joe that's your wheelhouse, which one?

Brockers and Goff. Big Mike said some rude shit about Goff's heart when he left LaLa land, not realizing they'd be teammates in a few weeks.

No biggie, but I like that kinda shit.

No more Trubisky to kick around in Chicago. He signed with Buffalo. As a Packer fan, I'm glad. I still think he has the potential to be a good NFL QB - thankfully, not for the Bears now.

[Sparkey]

Bears release Kyle Fuller. Would he look great opposite Alexander!!

[Upnorth]

I think Kyle fuller is a very good #2 CB.

Goff is better than trubisky unfortunately.

[call_me_ishmael]

I'm afraid if they sign Fuller they won't be able to afford Alexander. I hope they try it, though. Go all in for this year!! That totally changes the defense. Wasn't he an all-pro last year?

[texaspackerbacker]

That's ridiculous. They can sign anybody that really needs to be signed, and that goes double if it's next years cap.

Upnorth, I'm puzzled by your remark. Goff may be better than Trubisky (even though I wouldn't bet on that), but it's basically irrelevant considering the teams they are and were on.

Allen robison is great receiver. They have a good rb. When Goff had a true #1 he was a pretty good qb. Admittedly he was in a good system but my eyes tell me Goff is a good upgrade over trubisky. I don't think he will be 'the missing piece' but is definitely the best qb they have had in awhile.

Also if you look at next year's cap number we can't sign anyone we want. New Tv money hits 2023. Next year we will be looking at extensions and restructures all over again.

Not if another team offers more.

KY, it looks like another case of the new GM bringing in guys from his old organizations - I think the Leos' GM worked for Ted, and of course he came from the Rams. So he trusts the evaluations of those organizations. We'll see.

So far it does look more promising for them than the last regime. Goff is a good enough get-them-by kinda guy til they find their next QB of the future, and they get three first round picks to try to package sometime in the next couple of years to get one. Signing Boyle seems like a very solid move, too. I'm not so sure about Brockers - what did the Lions give up? Did they hand that third round pick back to the Rams?

But the bigger story might be that the new GM is cutting a lot of deadwood from that roster. No more patching and pretending they're contenders. He's building.

Whether he can draft well enough, and sign FA's in a smart manner, well, we'll see.

Maybe Kevin King will be next, on a cheap one year deal.

[Joemailman]

I think the signing of Jamaal Williams is an underrated sign the new regime in Detroit might know what they are doing. They got a guy who is solid in every aspect at a position that has been a revolving door for them for years. And for a reasonable of money.

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.

The team had the audacity to give him a pile of cash and now can't afford to put all the pieces around him to get him another ring so he can demand more money.

[bobblehead]

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.

I'll lead by saying I hate Pete Carroll. I'll end by saying Pete got a ring for Russ and made Russ a Millionaire after being a 4th round pick. Russ isn't as great as they make him out to be. More weapons? DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett to go with Chris Carson? Gimme a break. Russ needs to stop throwing picks and holding the ball for a week.
