I don't yell fore, I yell catch

[Courtney Cronin @CourtneyRCronin]

Some thoughts:

1. If a contract extension doesn't come for Matt Eberflus (aka assurance for the next offensive staff coming in), then I think it will be challenging for the Bears to find the pool of candidates they want for an OC, QBs coach, etc. If you're an OC with offers to go several places, why take a job with a head coach entering lame duck status who could be gone if the team doesn't win in 2024? If the HC ends up being fired after next season, nearly every time the whole staff is gone. That's something an OC and his offensive staff would have to consider.

2. If the Bears stick with Justin Fields in 2024, they will be asking him to learn his 3rd offense in 4 years. It takes a whole year alone to master the verbiage of an offense as we were told first hand from Fields and his offensive teammates. That seems like a tall ask for a QB still trying to find his footing after 38 career starts.

3. If no extension comes for Eberflus and the Bears trade Fields and draft a rookie QB with the No. 1 overall pick, the team is perpetuating the same cycle we've seen since John Fox-Mitchell Trubisky, then Trubkisy-Matt Nagy, then Nagy-Justin Fields, then Fields-Matt Eberflus. Ultimately, the Bears could have broken that cycle if they decided to make changes across the board but are moving forward with Eberflus in 2024 and a *massive*, franchise-altering decision to make a QB in the coming months.

Stay tuned.

@DJMartinez06 @NFL Doesn't matter, if heel touches, it's no catch

@adamjahns Anything noteworthy with TEs during OTAs? Does Tonyan signing impact potential Kmet extension?

@SharpFootball ESPN is the worst broadcast

@mattswider Chase declined and canceled my order since apparently https://t.co/iBQimBYWBQ is fraudulent. Very disappointing

[Brad @daaBeers94]

@LordOfRestocks Got to checkout and then Chase declined the payment as apparently https://t.co/iBQimBYWBQ is fraudulent? Then it wouldn't allow me to redo the checkout. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Matt Nagy is the worst play caller in the NFL.

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

preseason aside....

what you are watching is Mitch Trubisky with a real play caller

Daboll runs circles around Nagy

@SharpFootball Who would you prefer starting week 1?

[Jeff D. Lowe @JeffDLowe]

This was one of the single funniest things I ever saw on television. Conan’s setup, the clip, the reaction. It was perfect.

[Brad @daaBeers94]

@adamjahns Haven't heard much talk about CBs besides Kindle Vildor praises; how's Johnson and Trufant (and others) played in OTAs? Shouldn't we be more worried about CB2 and CB3 especially in a division with Rodgers (🤞 not) and the Vikings' strong duo of WRs?

Some will point out that the Bears could’ve signed Dalton to a one-year $3 million deal last year instead of trading a draft pick for the right to pay Nick Foles more but those people just don’t understand football like the Bears do.

QBs brought in by the #Bears under GM Ryan Pace:

- Signed Mike Glennon ($18M for 1 year)
- Traded up for Mitch Trubisky
- Traded a 4th for Nick Foles + his contract.
- Signed Andy Dalton

Not the greatest.
