Yeah. That's why I posted it. Bears backed out?

I guess so. Maybe Pace looked around and realized nobody else wanted him. Just an odd way to put it. I still think a first rounder is high for someone who clearly wants out.


Guys its a fake account. You got trolled.

I can totally see Pace trade Foles Cohen and a 1st. Clears money. Cohen may not be the same post acl right away.

I want to keep Cohen though. Ok with a 2nd. Not a 1st though.

If people are more or less right about the bones of this, it is about fighting over Miller and Cohen. Bears want to dump Miller and keep Cohen. Eagles don’t like that idea.

Correct. Last thing on Adam's verified account had him talking about the new class of NFL HOFer. That's a joke account people.

Cohen is replaceable and I rather give his spot to Pierce of a draft pick. If Philly wants Cohen, then so be it.

The Bears line was good to start the year, bad in the middle when they had a rash of injuries and covid issues and then it got back on track in the last 7 games or so.

Wentz is not a statue in the pocket like Foles and I think the team knows it can lean on Montgomery a bit more now than they did to start last year.

I also don't see how they let Arob walk, they either franchise and tag him or find a way to get a deal done.

franchising him might cost more than he was even asking for before the friction started


My mistake, I meant tag & trade.

I don’t like the Cohen contact much. Gadget player on a rookie mid draft deal, fine. Once it goes beyond that, eh.

Cohen said he talked to Pace & Nagy and they told him he isn't part of the deal, so I'm pretty sure he's safe. From a PR perspective there would be no coming back for either of them if that was the case.

Good to know. I don't follow anyone football related on Twitter, just bball.

You remember how we did Jimmy Butler after saying he was our future. Don’t put anything past Chicago management lol

What is the cost for Watson? What would it take for this team to get him? If it's starters and multiple 1sts I can see getting wentz. If it's just picks and a salary like Foles, I'd go Watson.

So I was on Twitter and the *first* person who posted the rumor was this guy:

https://twitter.com/BilloFixNews

His tweet was a few hours before everybody else:

Read on Twitter


followed up by the guy he mentioned saying this:

Read on Twitter


But then Lambert ran with the rumor and talked to a Eagles media person and wrote this article.

https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears-rumors/eagles-insider-reveals-bears-likely-offer-for-carson-wentz/

That BilloFixNews guy tweeted this a few weeks ago:

Read on Twitter


That Billo dude is clearly making **** up and tbh, Lambert got dragged into this and seems to have just ran with it for the views when the Philly reporter reached out.

Now if you look at Twitter, people are just making up more **** off of this fairly obvious fake.

Shortly after I posted this Cohen confirmed he isn't involved.

There is so much crap out about this I won't believe anything until the trade is done.

I just hope Pace don't over reach for Wentz I have zero faith in Pace he's a desperate guy.

I wonder if they even reached out to Rodgers agent to see if he is going back to Green Bay?

Green bay isn't trading Rodgers here unless they get multiple firsts and the good half of the team.

I’d expect confirmation of Wentz tonight after SB with official team confirmation tomorrow.

Hope Wentz goes to the Colts

I do believe he is a free agent, no?
