Roman is one of five guys the Bears have interviewed for the job (thus far) and one of the first leaks about Harbaugh's NFL interest was that Roman was very likely to join his staff. I'd be pretty surprised if Roman ended up in Chicago

Yeah but there is no way they are going to stick with Fields just because of the reality of what the contracts are going to be.

Are you saying the Bears are too smart to do a Danny Dimes?

Because the available evidence suggests that they are, in fact, extremely dumb!

It's a 25ish million hit in 2025 and then you have to give him 40+ a year vs restarting the clock with a much better prospect. it's really not even a choice.

They're not short of cap space. If they're really keeping Eberflus and Fields, might as well bring in Roman. If he's a hit who cares about the pay.

The situation with QB contracts is bad for the game, but what do you do? Limit QB contracts against total team salary? The contract math would get even more complicated and I don't think the player's association would go for it.

It's fine if the quarterback is the guy. No one's upset about the Allen, Burrow or Jackson deals. They deserve it.

Why is it their fault that teams backup the truck for the Daniel Jones and Derek Carrs of the world? Those are bad teams and they are punished by sucking.

It probably doesn't matter, but I like the concept of Lurie/Roseman and Jones both wanting to stick the other with a worse news cycle when it comes to timing their firing/retaining announcements.

Hiring Greg Roman would mean the Bears are declaring they hosed up the development of Fields as a passer and want him only to run. Pathetic franchise.

Yeah, it's not even that they collapsed, it's the how. Every aspect of that team has regressed badly from Hurts to the run game to the tackling on down. Sirianni totally botched replacing his coordinators, hosed it up even further by hiring and subsequently promoting Matt Patricia, and also has pretty obviously lost the locker room.

I honestly would fire every single person on staff. You have to rebuild the bottom up completely. Howie can stay since we know he is too good at this poo poo, but goddamn. Fire sale incoming.

I can excuse some of the defensive woes - the secondary is really old and really bad, that's kind of just a personnel situation.

But the running game is inexcusable and hiring Patricia is inexcusable.

Which is why you have to fire everyone. Let new staff get their pick of who should come in and play defense next year. OLine is about to be completely different as well.

If we're talking vibes the Eagles have none. They have negative vibes. This entire roster has completely given up.

They got destroyed by San Francisco and decided the season was over.

he is the doom of empires. let us look at the patriots for an example. lo did they take on the patricia curse a full year before the eagles. when they finally return to relevance? one year after that, will be the iggles' first chance at recovery. the cursed pencil is lodged behind our ear until then.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Is Sirianni fired yet?


Why not

Roman to Chicago would make sense if they're keeping Fields, afterall Roman kind of made his bones taking an extremely limited one read, running QB to a superbowl when Kap was with the 49ers. Even if they were going to go after Caleb they could do a lot worse in terms of someone not to gently caress up the first two years in the NFL.

Eagles don't quite need to clean house, in terms of poo poo to fix, a secondary and running game are probably a whole lot easier than most other positions. That being said their defensive line massively underperformed this year and if they don't fire Sirianni, completely new defensive scheme and staff would make sense.

Eagles might be able to turn it around pretty quick.
  • The Eagles have a surprising amount of estimated cap per OTC.
  • They have an extra second round pick from the Saints.
  • it’s a decent safety and corner rookie draft.
  • both coordinators are so bad that any replacement is likely to be at least a bit better

Spend the first, second, and second second on secondary players, grab a rb in the late rounds of the draft and another veteran rb from FA and baby you got a stew going.


Won’t happen in reality, but a path is there. Does the eagles FO ever invest top picks in secondary players? They have a reputation as exclusively building the trenches.

Genuine question.

Why isn't drafting Caleb and sitting him behind Fields for 1 or 2 years an option?
Like, I'm an idiot and the Bears are dumb but I can't see why it's not even talked about.

It is talked about on the local Chicago ESPN affiliate. It's "not off the table" and I wouldn't be shocked if Poles tries it.

Because fields demands a trade if they do that and he’d be right to do so.

1.Fields is worth something so you'd be best off getting his value

2. There's not really any evidence that sitting works - there's been cases where people have been good after it but also plenty of QBs who came in and were good right away. One of the big benefits of a rookie qb is cost control, sitting them means you are losing out. There's a a big question for the Packers whether Jordan Love might have always been this good in which case they have wasted a lot of his cheap years to sit him for possibly not very good reasons.
