we need some D, but you gotta think Rivera and Chud might make a move.

Malcom Floyd (SD) – Floyd was given the highest tender last offseason and came through for the Chargers. However, it’s expected that the Chargers will only retain one of Floyd or Jackson and the latter seems more likely right now. Floyd is a tall, athletic downfield threat with the body control to become a number one receiver in the league. He’ll be heavily pursued by several teams.

blah blah blah we gotta get FAs this year, and the good thing is they might take less to play with Cam...?

that and for WRs, the draft class is fairly deep and the FA class is saturated with talent

don't know if it would be money well spent though considering our other needs

I see us making a run in FA for WR, S, and CB... Because Hurney and Rivera tried to address these 3 positions through FA last year but failed. I see us making a run for WR Dwayne Bowe, CB Terrell Thomas, and S Reggie Nelson. I also expect our #1 pick to be an OT with Jordan Gross turning 32 before 2012 kickoff. After that, we need draft young players for depth.

I don't think we could get all those guys, but I would be ecstatic if we got both Nelson and a healthy Thomas. Gettis will have a strong season next year.

Apparently we will only be able to sign vet. minimum free agents.

Not really. Some players on our squad are making way too much money and more than likely their contracts will get reworked. After all said and done I expect us to be about $20m under cap. Thomas Davis, Wharton, Ron Edwards, and etc will all have to rework their contracts. Also 1/4 of all NFL players will be UFAs. Supply and demand.

    • According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.
    • You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.
    • @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
