As it should be. Asking the taxpayers to cover 2/3+ of a multi-billion dollar stadium, when you're a multi-billionaire.... is just something... They can f*** off. Find yourself a partner or two.

Speaking of 2025 draft



I wouldn't want anything to do with him or his father

I now hope the younger Sanders drops like a rock in the draft.

Colorado went 4-8. Deion is all sizzle no steak.

I would take the bet right now, for a decent amount of money, on Sanders going outside the top 5.

Most of the mocks I've done have him going in the 10-15 range

With the news that Hendrickson is requesting a trade out of Cincinatti - the thought of him lining up across from Sweat has me dreaming big dreams. It's probably highly unlikely that even if Cincinatti moves him he would end up on the Bears - mainly because the Bears don't have cap space without doing some salary restructuring type stuff which I doubt Poles would do because he's all about staying flexible with the cap.

Would that be fun though. The Bears defense was pretty good after acquiring Sweat and they have pretty much the same lineup with the exception of Baird replacing Jackson and Jones at DT is gone. Their secondary is very good, linebackers are good and with Hendrickson added to the D-line - they could and probably should be a top-5 defense.
