Well, at least one of our teams does something at the trade dealine!

Just need to show him this vid and he will resign.

that was actually a good recruiting tool back then. I bet lots of defensive players would love to have joined the '85 Bears. That team was awesome, and fun to watch.

The thing with TODAY'S Bears, though, is that they are pretty much the opposite situation from the Seahawks. The Seahawks bring in a veteran mid-season, they see the environment here and are like "holy shit, this place is WAY better than the crap team I was on" and want to stay. Sweat is going from one dumpster fire organization to another, so I can't imagine he'll be wowed by that.

I'm positive the Seahawks expect Williams to re-sign, or at least give them a fair shot at it (obviously depends on salary cap and market values of course), and were willing to pay a little more because they're making a run at the playoffs this year. All the Bears have going for them is a bunch of cap space... and they could've made the same move in free agency. I don't get it.

Only thing I can figure is that they said "oh, well the Seahawks did it, so we should too"

The good old days... and they do re-sign him, they will be paying market. Does that make giving up what could be the 40th pick in the draft worth it? It's funny, skimming the reactions. It gets panned and then gets a c-. Are football gms dumber than baseball gms these days? It does make me appreciate JS

Only the Panthers are worse than the Bears at the moment. That pick could be as high as 33 and will be no lower than 35 most likely.

I see you forgot about the baseball team in our own division.

Currently, the Bears pick would be #35.

fuccccccccccccccccccccckkk Chase Young to the 49ers for a 3rd round pick. Not even a GOOD 3rd round pick - a compensatory pick, so basically a 4th. Feel like we should've been talking to the Commies a little more about their fire sale.

Flipping crazy. What a great deal. Leanord is better for us, but a 2 and 5 vs a low 3. Crazy. Hell, trade a 3rd and go all out. Man, the Niners D was already crazy good.

Injury history.

They can have him. It looks like he's only played in 19 of 41 games after his rookie season.

Then why have they lost three games in a row

Offense is the problem right now. the Defense will be crazy. Our defense is now better too.

From what I've been reading it is their defense. Here they are saying even though the numbers point at the pass rush it's actually the secondary

The past two weeks, the 49ers defense made Kirk Cousins and Joe Burrow look like prime Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

What is wrong with the 49ers pass defense? Is it the rush or the coverage?

A quick look at the stats would indicate the pass rush is the problem. The 49ers have 18 sacks this season, which ranks tied for 18th out of 32 teams. Not great, considering the 49ers have Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead -- three extremely expensive pass rushers. And yet, no one on the defense has more than three sacks.

But the pass rush isn't the issue

The 49er scored 30+ points in each of their 6 wins, and have scored 17 exactly each of the 3 losses. Their problem is Purdy without Deebo is closer to Mr Irrelevant than he is to Tom Brady Jr.

The injury history on Young is an issue, but that was the same issue that McCaffrey had and that worked out for them. A healthy 49ers team is scary good, and they'll probably all come back for the Seahawks games, because the world hates us.
