Chisoxfn Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) According to Glazer, they are interested. I think Glazer even indicated they were the perceived front-runners. Hopefully Glazer has a good source on this! Helps that the Phins are out.

Hopefully Glazer has a good source on this! Helps that the Phins are out. I can't see them ponying up the money Michigan is reported to be willing to pay, but it depends what he wants. Does he really want to go on the road and try recruiting 17 and 18 year olds? Plus, if he did win with the Bears, he would be like Ditka. He would have huge income the rest of his life. Can the Bears convince him he can win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 9m9 minutes ago Lions have told Dominic Raiola to expect a one-game suspension, per several sources. No official discipline levied yet, but the expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are on the season ticket waiting list, why would anyone care? It isn't like, without a dome, they have a legit shot at hosting a Super Bowl even if they sat 100k. At least now, it's a pretty nice place to watch a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least before it gets too cold. I would rather watch from my couch than freeze or get soaked. They are swapping out the video boards with a couple supposed to be 3 times as large next season, which will be great for replays.

Bears lock up the 7th pick with a loss. They need a guy who knows what he is doing with the 7th pick. You look at the last 20 or so first round picks, in hidsight there are only at most 4 or 5 worthy of being selected in the first round, and there are several top 10 picks.

cabiness42 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 IMO Bears should trade down and stop hoarding. Everyone needs impact talent, but the bears need so much talent everywhere they need to start hoarding picks. That has gotten harder to do. Teams are less willing to give up multiple picks to move up in the first round. You have to catch a break and have a player available at your pick that somebody 10+ spots farther down really, really wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to catch a break and have a player available at your pick that somebody 10+ spots farther down really, really wants. One other thing to keep in mind is that with the updated salary cap rules, the value of a top 10 pick has actually gone up in the last few years. If you hit on it, you've got the guy for what, 5 years at a fairly minimal cap hit before he's a free agent or 4 years before his extension kicks in. That's also where you can get franchise changers.

But ultimately you had the bills trading up like crazy, browns trading down, etc etc. It happens. Emery also traded up to get Brock Vereen so...guess who has only 5 picks again.
