like picking a fave bug or ant.

Well.. I mean army ants are clearly #1... fire ants are top 5 for sure.... and those stink ants are debatable at the 10th spot because those mother fuckers are relentless. And then you added GENERAL bugs in..

Skins... I love you, but you're way off your mark here.

I'm kinda partial to ladybugs but I'm kinda weird. :D

remember those bug catchers? I used to scare the hell out of my siblings by catching spiders in them.

Well, we stole a 6th rounder from the Browns for Harris. Better than nothing since we got Williams/Olu. I'll take it!

Yup. It was either that or cut him anyway probably so at least we got an extra pick. Williams supposed to be here this week. Olu likely starts vs Titans, I think.

Not sure if we stole a 6th... It was a good trade for both parties... They wouldn't have been able to pick up Harris off of waivers once we cut him because there were quite a few teams in front of them that probably would've taken him...

I think it's funny that the Browns let Harris go last year and then traded for him... :D

I'll be paying attention to Chicago's offense this year with Waldron. I was glad to see him go after last season because I though the offense was simply inept for much of the year and performed well under their talent level. Good group of skill players over in Chicago to work with, but it may all be measured by how Caleb Williams does at a rookie as much as how Waldron fits the pieces together. It's just gonna be weird if the Bears don't suck for once.

I'm not sold on CW. Looks like he kind of gave up when USC went in the toilet last year plus his fumbling issue is a massive red flag.

He very well could bust, but the physical talent is undeniable. It's obvious when watching him play. But I would agree it takes a lot more than just talent.

I wouldn't mind seeing him work out though. The Bears have just never had a legit franchise QB for any meaningful length of time since any of us have been watching the NFL. In the same way I'm not mad about Detroit being good now, it would be a nice break from the same old song and dance in the NFCN.

I don't think he'll bust, I think he'll be descent but not superstar as he has been painted for several years. I honestly think he's 3rd best QB in this years QB class.

Now having said that the Bears have put the talent around him so it'll be interesting to see his development over the next few seasons.
I always liked Detroit cause of how bad they were but it's nice to see Dan Campbell turn them around.

Seeing reports on various fan sites that Geno has approached the team about a new contract. The only motivation I could see for the organization to do this is to add another year so they can level out the 2025 cap hit if they have designs on keeping around that long. With 2 years left on his current deal, I can't see this happening. Sam Howell is also under contract for 2025 at $1.1M and has looked pretty good, so I just can't see further investment in Geno before this season is done. I think it's more likely they cut him in Feb than make his contract longer.

Yeah Geno has 2 years left, it's stupid to add more with that much time on his contract. Next offseason sure but not now no way. Don't do it. If he regresses again this season which he could you don't want to be stuck with a QB going backwards and who is on the wrong side of 34 in October of this year.

I can't remember the last time there was a trade involving a rookie in the NFL since maybe Eli Manning & Philip Rivers. And maybe there has been some, but this is still a really rare occurrence.
