I think im in favor of signing a top left tackle in free agency. Arguably a top 3 position in terms of importance and we’ve gotten it wrong so many times, I’d be hesitant to leave it up to a rookie. Your process can be 100% on the nose and still draft a bust on the OL. Ronnie Stanley and Cam Robinson are the best available. The “issue”with that is that it would eat up more cap than signing two guards and draft a LT. But I think it’s worth the trade off

If we can sign a star LT I’m all for it, but how many times do teams lose a star LT in free agency? My fear is the only “star” we’ll be able to sign is one who is washed up, like Orlando Pace in 2009.

I would call him a star, but Robinson should be available. The Vikings traded for him as a place holder for Darrishaw. With Jackson’s contract, I can see the ravens letting Stanley walk and drafting a rookie to save money

Damn Barkley is special. First play from scrimmage...to the house. QBs get all the glory but he's had a MVP season.

If they can’t give MVP to Saquon this season, they should change the name to reflect that it’s exclusively a QB award. End the farce.

Commanders DBs over aggressive penalties in bad spots kind of giving the game away.

Yup he’s special he has a gear that Derrick Henry doesn’t have but king Henry is a beast within himself D swift is crafty and with a better offensive scheme he’ll be pretty good not like Barkley or Henry but enough for what the bears will need hopefully we get a burner RB in the draft or trade for tyreek hill lol

This actually makes me feel better than the guy from Texas. Trading down for Booker and signing Smith and the Falcons guy would be ideal. I hope Booker is a real alternative to Campbell and Banks. Not sure about Simmons, but the medicals at the combine will tell us more on him

Trading down and taking booker is an idea I’ve floated out.he could very well be the best offensive lineman in the draft. He’s just a guard so it’ll be easy to trade back and draft him

Also didn’t realize Atlantas center is a free agent. He had an injury that made him miss like half the season. He’d be a good pick up. I’d say Ryan Kelly is still the best center available but he’s old

Barkley's extra gear isn't much over Henry. Barkley reached 21.93 mph while DH got to 21.72, not bad for a 247 lb, 31 yrs old.

Doyle never played college football, apparently, and still managed to become a Saints offensive assistant at 23. This should be interesting.

Doyce seems like an odd choice on its face, but I guess it is similar to what I wanted in Brown....an "OC light".

There is a major Sean Payton tree thing happening in Chicago


Caleb Williams has so much to do with the offensive coaches you might think. He is known to favor working with young coaches, and they couldn’t be going much younger. Proud of the Bears really for all this. Has to be very uncomfortable for them to be so edgy. And logical. I have put all trust in Ben Johnson’s judgment as have the Bears. It makes sense to let him cook, get out of his way.

Declan Doyle's dad was the longtime Iowa strength coach who was fired for making racial statements against players.

Never heard of him before an hour ago, but anyone who is highly coveted by Sean payton can be the OC of my team. Now we just need Rizzi
