tl;dr my team is really flipping stupid. Why do I root for these idiots?
I like the ARob signing. The Burton is solid as well, overpaid obviously but every team in the NFL has monopoly money for FAs.

The Fuller one is pretty ridiculous though. Just slap the 5th year option on him and try to negotiate. They are now paying him approx what a FRANCHISE tag wouldv'e been right?

Bears should probably just match & trade him to the Saints, however it works best logistically. If they eat some signing bonus I'm sure they'll get a better pick.

Has anyone seen the body cam footage yet?

Or is this just another modern lynching?

Personally, I think if you have the confidence to make a bomb joke in front of TSA that they should let you cut the line entirely

So I don't usually pay much attention to these RFA matching situations. If the Bears haven't yet snapped Merideth, does that means he's at least got a shot at being a Saint?

Or do NFL teams traditionally like a slow roll here to be pricks?

The slow-roll thing is possible, and other teams have done it (It does tie up the cap space of the team that made the offer sheet), though the Bears didn't slow-roll with Kyle Fuller. They might actually be considering letting Meredith go, with Robinson, Gabriel, and White on the roster.

Read a bit today that Saints people ate fairly optimistic the Bears won't match. Standard internet sources caveat applies.

Evidently it wasn't even TSA - it was some tattletell at the checked bag counter.

The fact that the Bears didn't slow roll a division rival probably means they aren't doing it to the saints... Unless they are learning from their mistakes

Bears kinda did slowroll the Packers. They told Fuller they are matching day 1 but waited until the last day to actually do so.

From the talk ITT I take it Meredith hasnt heard anything from the Bears tho?

the text from Andrew Luck's interview could not be filling the Colts with confidence about his recovery.

Looks like the Giants are having trouble moving Odell. Someone will bite sooner or later, but maybe the asking price is just too high given the hassle.
