Great one?    Really?   
 

There are a dozen top WR’s still on the market.   We didn’t need to jump on 31 year old John Brown.   

 

He still has the speed to take the top off and was a great find for Allen last year. And with a price tag of 3.5 million, that's a damn good one.

I'm not too upset losing out on Brown

 Never thought we'd ever bring him back. Pretty sure Ballard said he wasn't a scheme fit for us, and that is why we released him.

I’m interested in exploring a hypothetical. It seems the Bears certainly still have cuts to make; however, if they decide that Fuller (11 mil savings) is too valuable to lose with Rodgers in the division, that cut could theoretically end up being Akiem Hicks (11.5 mil savings) instead. If that ends up being the case, what would everyone’s thoughts be on making him a Colt? I am intrigued by the potential. 

No to Hicks - he is a very good player when healthy, but he has been injured and missed too many games the last 2 seasons. His age has been showing and has not been reliable. Bears talking heads up here even think he could be a surprise cut because of his injury history.

 

The only Bears players I would be interested in would be Allen Robinson and Kyle Fuller. Robinson is an elite playmaker and could be HUGE in the Colts system. Fuller regressed last season some compared to previous seasons according to the Chicago media, but maybe a change in scenery would bring him back to being an impact player for a few more seasons.

I agree on all accounts. I would love Robinson and or Fuller. Robinson is unrealistic though, as the Bears are delusional and would probably demand the return the Vikings got for Diggs. Fuller is intriguing though!

I would feel quite good with that! Rock could develop more and refine technique situationally.

John Brown signs with the Raiders for basically peanuts, 3.75 million. Don't know about Ballard's "looking for good deals" when a great one who wanted to come here walks right past..

 

Sweet Jesus.

 

Lot's of players could want to come play in Indy.  If the feeling is not reciprocated, who freaking cares?

Come on, you know it's only because the Colts fan's (some) feel the Colts could use help in the receiver room. I'm pretty sure it was a combination of a decent receiver plus a reasonable contract...

not much either. But people for a week or more have been clamouring over John Brown and I don't get the hype

He's not a superstar, but he did get over 1000 yards with Josh Allen and he's a very good #2 or #3 receiver. And for that price a 2 year contract would have been money well spent. We spent 10 million on Devin Funchess, how'd that work..

Yea... I'm telling you these fools on twitter are ruining everything that is good in life. Twitter needs to be destroyed. That kid was great and there isn't one person who shouldn't feel great about that whole moment when he revealed that Wentz jersey. Just insane how people are nowadays...

yes! if not, the league goes into contract cutting mode.

From the same dirt-bag fans that cheered a player blowing out both knees, Booed Santa and booed an opposing player being taken off the field on a stretcher.. The first stadium that has a built in jail for such a classy fan base..

Where did you see this?    Can you point me in a direction? 

[pgt_rob]

I think once today is over with, Ballard is going to start playing ball. I'd like to see all the cap casualty's first as well. BTW, I'd rather have TY Hilton than John Brown so no big deal with him signing elsewhere.

Oh this is just too funny! That has to be so freaking awkward for him. “So, uh, Jared, when I said ‘level up’ I was, uh, really just saving face. You’re my guy, you’ve always been my guy. We still cool, right?”

I don't know about trading ANOTHER 1st. Would rather draft and have signed one of the pass rushers for less money & have kept our pick even if they are not as good.

No you are on point. It's beyond strange unless there is going to be a major dump coming within next 15 minutes. It's been a ghost town today on many fronts

I initially thought that too; however, I’m sure they can send in a list of cuts at the deadline to be honest. They are probably still talking to those players now.
