57 Days Until the Season Opens

vvarder, I'm almost on the floor here, your post is magnificent.

 

You know, I've really come to appreciate these summer months. There's just something about switching off and not having the Bears or Everton in my life that makes me a happier person

 

I'm on board with the Bears, but that Everton dude, I miss that SOB.

 

Same here tuna. I miss all of you guys!

Are you going to training camp tuna? Will you be reporting on it if you do?

I'm heading for Georgia and the Carolinas for 2 weeks by bike, leaving this Sunday. Where are you at these days?

 

Man this place is f'n boring without me.

 

I don't think so, until they actually show me something on the field I'm still not buying into the Fields hype or any of these newly acquired acquisitions to waste any more of my time. Just like life, nowadays you have to show me the Corona before I even get into that van.

Here I thought it was me, but then I remembered nobody loves BWW like BWW.

 

Nothing wrong with self love.

It’s very healthy.

 

Insert a little ego and that is no little ego ... ha ha

 

I'm pretty sure I remember my mother telling me that same thing ...

 

...because you're less likely to pick up an STD.

 

Ha ha oh shit.

 

Depends on where you put your hands first.

 

Exactly right Mr. Pee Wee Herman

 

Respect. Little dude is dead, yes?

 

I'm assuming BWW's penis still works, but you'd have to ask him.

 

Still does the job even though I beat him on a daily basis.

 

$12.5mil per and almost $33mil GTD? That is a hell of a lot of coin for that player. Maybe just me but i would not have imagined paying a Kmet more than $10mil per, max. There was development there last year tho, i think most would agree, inc more clutch play. Lets hope it continues. For that money it kinda needs to. Kmet is now the T-9th highest paid TE in the league i believe, alongside the consistently over-rated Jonnu Smith.

With money to spend and guys on deck it always felt like Poles might extend one of JJ, Mooney or Kmet this offseason. JJ's negotiations have gone nowhere it seems, probably off the back of him wanting far too much money given the production. Of the 3 i personally would've leaned towards Mooney. I know the WR room is shockingly(for Bears fans) populated right now, but i don't think Claypool's on the team this time next year and in this day 2 good WR's under contract is almost a minimum. But i guess paying Mooney isnt easy off the back of the worst statistical season on his 3years on the team.

One other thing of note.......

The FF players among us will know that drafting a player off the back of last year's TD numbers is courting disaster, but its also true that everyone cares about TD numbers. A comparison of Kmet and Mooney in this metric: Kmet had 7 TDs last year after a big fat 0 in 2021, fuelling the development argument. Mooney had 2TD's last year and dropped a regulation TD catch that would've won the game in Washington. Not saying it came down to that, but an observation nonetheless.

 

Haha!
