Sweat getting paid is the only way the trade remotely made sense for the Bears. Sweat is a good football player and a great dude. I'm happy for him, and I have nothing against the Bears. I hope both teams benefit from this trade.

LOL. Bears are fucking idiots. Their GM is a complete moron. Sweat not even remotely close to worth that contract. Just driving up the price for guys who are.

I mean, we could get the 3rd and turn around and still sign young in FA (if this were madden). I don't think that's a great idea (100% depends on the contract $$), and I don't think players that get their option year turned down and then get shipped off for a comp pick would feel super inclined (unless it was a lot more money).

sweat trade was a 10/10 though (I think the young trade was overall fine too, no guarantee he stays w/o tag or that we'd get a comp pick). Trade down 9 spots for 4.5 years of cheap high-level starting production. I do think he's a good player, not sure on 25m/year though. best of luck!

I'm pretty sure there is zero intent to sign CY in free agency, should he get there. I believe they intended to trade him for whatever they could get, because they want to cut their losses.

Sweat's contract is pretty rich. I'm happy for him, but I agree, I would not have wanted us to dole that $$ out for him.

The bears spending that money on him considering their current state would be if you had a Honda civic with a blown motor and only a grand in the bank; you decide to take that grand and buy really fancy rims for your civic; still doesn't run but damn it looks good; stupid

A bit of a transcript from Chase's press conference. Made me chuckle. I know some of y'all will get your panties in a bunch about his comments so don't disappoint me.
