Normally Jordan Love ballin out like this, again, would put me in a bad sports mood but the Bears traded for Jeff Simmons today.

If there’s ever a time to trade multiple firsts for a young QB it’s when… Your QB is good ✅ Your QB is cheap ✅ You know your team is good so the picks shouldn’t be too high ✅ The player is already signed to a deal ✅ Go win a Super Bowl on Caleb’s rookie deal.
“It means they are all in to win a Super Bowl during Caleb Williams’ rookie contract and that they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender this year… [Jeffery Simmons] is a truly elite difference-making player.” @DannyParkins thinks this was a wildly exciting swing for the Bears:

Because the Titans just extended Jeffery Simmons, and the bonus money is paid, a team-friendly deal goes with him to Chicago ... • $7.94 million for the rest of 2026. • $26.95 million in cash for 2027. • Signed through 2030 for a total $124.7 million.

#Bears fans do you like trading 2 first round picks for Jeffrey Simmons? He’s 29, under contract through 2030 at roughly $35 million/year and is one of the best defensive lineman in football.

Make no mistake about it, Jeffrey Simmons is one of the best defensive players in football who wrecks games. It’s a big swing but it’s wildly exciting.

Historically, I hate trading multiple firsts for non QBs. But you’re doing this because you’re confident those are going to be LATE first round picks. Hopefully 32nd. Rams did it and won a Super Bowl with Jalen Ramsey. Time to win a Super Bowl on Caleb’s rookie contract.

“Their defense is spectacular… I don’t consider them a real contender… They’re 6-0. I think they’re gonna be 6-4. I think they’re losing their next 4 games.” @DannyParkins on the Vikings:

Oh man the Jalen Williams video is bad. Such an awful break for him and the Thunder. Our first season alerting injury in the NBA.

The roughing the passer call early in the 3rd and the intentional grounding call on the last drive were both brutal and both went against the Packers. Crazy they’ve overcome both to still be in this game.
