@MelitoMichael1 @spinotron @SportsCardInv @PaniniAmerica It was a stellar pickup brother that will age like a fine 🍷

There will be some that say, I paid too much, but for this one I say no. It’s his very first Kaboom with only 25 minted. No gold or legendary just the 25. It’s his iconic night night pose and when you add up total kaboom‘s per Goat he has far less then Ohtani,Brady or James. This card is so hot on the PBC that nobody wants to sell. There is a new floor of 7.5K, but none are listed. #panininft #paniniblockchain

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @SwiftyNetwork I think it also has a lot to do with the situational aspect of quite a few of the drops. It just seems like a lot of them were in high leverage situations.

I’m convinced these are the same people trying to trade Kmet again. Here the funny thing about Rome drops. No one talked about it when he was a rookie & they are pretty much the same Here’s the other thing. He by far has had the lowest percentage of on-target throws from Caleb. Part of that is his deep route mix, but part is not. He’s had less than 60% of catchable targets. That doesn’t impact drops per se, but some of the drops may not be great balls to begin with Not defending him - the criticism is fair. He needs to improve on drops. But he only had 3.2% drops as a senior in college. He’s had 8.5% & 9.4% in the pros. I’d expect that to come down in Y2 of this offense, when hopefully he’s thinking less and playing more freely

Why are people OBSESSED with negativity? Rome Odunze has INCREDIBLE hands and is goin to have a breakout season, but on EVERY SINGLE #Bears post there are 3-4 people talking about Rome drops

@_CobyBryant_ @CourtneyRCronin U win the internet today. Fantastic!

@Chicago_NFL No thanks

The #49ers have the top pick (#33) in round 2 and are now shopping it. If the Bears want it, they’d have to send both 2’s. 49ers receive #57 & #60 (630 pt value) Bears receive #33 & #127 (625 pt value) #NFLDraft #DaBears

@Kirsten_Tanis1 My #1 target for that draft slot, very surprised he was available. Back end of our secondary is locked up. If we can stay healthy at CB next year we might have one of the best secondaries in football. Just need to juice the pass rush in RD2 now.

YES!!!!!! I’M HAPPY!!!! My favorite NFL position & Bears got the guy I wanted! 😁

@Brett_A_Taylor It’s truly unreal. The Horton and Steele situation is almost a mirror replica of last year. Crazy.

Daniel Palencia? Hurt Cade Horton? Hurt Matthew Boyd? Hurt Phil Maton? Hurt Hunter Harvey? Hurt Porter Hodge? Hurt Ethan Roberts? Hurt Jordan Wicks? Hurt Jaxon Wiggins? Hurt Justin Steele? Not freshly hurt, but you know, out. IT'S APRIL 17.

@cardblocknft @BaseMintCollect People are easily triggered by things they don’t understand. I also guarantee that these same people weren’t early adopters of crypto and probably were the last folks to discover streaming and shred their Blockbuster card.

These are the 3 comments I got from the short I posted on YouTube yesterday. Thought this was funny based on my recent thread with @BaseMintCollect

@NoisyHuevos They have no heart man and play inconsistent defense. Offense is elite but that only gets you so far once you start playing elite teams. Unfortunate because this team could be a championship level contender if they had any cajones.

Crumbling ... Not great Illinois. Really starting to question this team's toughness, or lackthereof.

@_NickWhalen How the masses don’t understand all of these points baffles me. They either just don’t pay close enough attention to the team and/or how to actual build a team or are just clickbating.

Chicago not spending big $$$ or trading for a DL could mean one or a combination of many things: 1) Chicago believes in Austin Booker 6'5" 245 lbs just under 34" arm length 23 yrs old -Booker finished the season with 3.5 sacks in the last 4 games and 1 sack in 2 playoff games while playing 80% of the snaps in each game -They could believe Booker's game will continue to develop. They could believe Booker's game will get better if he was allowed to get some breaks as well. 2) Chicago likes the recovery progress from the 2025 injured DL trio of Shemar Turner ACL, Dayo Odeyingbo Achilles, and Grady Jarrett nagging knee(started in week 1). -If some/all can be near 100% for week 1, it changes the desperation of need at these positions 3) Chicago likes Dayo Odeyingbo -Cam Jordan 6'4" 287 lbs 35" arms -Dayo is 6'5" 282 lbs 35.25" arms -I'd guess that Dennis Allen saw Dayo as a player he could turn into a Cam Jordan type in this defense -Dayo was always a projection of what he could be(25 yrs old when signed) since he started his NFL career recovering from an Achilles injury, has played all over the DL, and hasn't had consistent production 4) The Bears love the NFL Draft DT/DE market -Chicago having 3 picks in the top 60 and 4 picks in the top 89 are in prime position to infuse these rooms with young talent -We keep hearing it's a very good draft for Defensive lineman -The Bears could save lots of money cutting veteran DL next offseason Montez Sweat = $21M Dayo Odeyingbo = $15M Grady Jarrett = $12.75M Perhaps, they're planning on replacing and developing them ahead of time, which could be done through the 2026 draft 5) Shemar Turner -Feels like a forgotten player when people discuss the Bears DL. 2nd round pick in 2025. -He's a DE/DT tweener -Played 33 snaps as a DT vs 35 snaps outside the OT -If the Bears view him as a DE and like his recovery, then he could be the 3rd/4th DE and potentially reduce the need at DE or at DT 6) Ryan Poles is waiting to spend money on the 2nd/3rd wave of FA on the DL once the prices drop, which is generally the best strategy in Free agency

@CalebFC18 Byard was redundant with Bryant and the latter is younger and has better range. CJ was great as a fill in for Spidey but he lacks speed and was exposed continuously late in the year on crossing routes. Brisker is the only one I somewhat question, but lot of S talent in this draft

Kevin Byard 1-year $9M Jaquan Brisker 1-year $5.5M CJ Gardner-Johnson 1-year $6M All VERY reasonable deals, the Bears didn’t match any of them.

@DarrylConrad @AaronLemingNFL PFF is absolutely my friend. What Osa is best at, Gervon is better at, and while Osa plays better run D, it’s still a deficiency. And 41st ranked at his position isn’t worth that price tag IMO. Cool if you feel differently but I think those $ are invested better elsewhere

@DarrylConrad @AaronLemingNFL Yes, because of his run grade, which was poor. Guess what, Osa’s run grade was cheeks too, just not as bad as Dexter. At $20MM+ per for the next years + a 3rd….I’ll pass. Make Gervon a better run defender and you basically have an Osa in house.

People will get pissy with me & that’s fine: This is the exact type of player & cost the #Bears should have been in on if they were actually interested in making their DT room better.

@DarrylConrad @AaronLemingNFL That’s not his cap hit, it’s $20.75 this year followed by $24.75 in 2027 and 2028. Plus, his strength is pass rush and if you believe in PFF grading at all Gervon had a higher pass rush grade an more sacks last year

@AaronLemingNFL @WCGridiron If that’s the case then he should be resigning with us. That’s a small financial gamble to take on a guy that has dominant traits (i.e. Rams playoff game) and will be motivated on a proven it deal.

Jaquan Brisker is the top name remaining at S right now. Considering the other deals signed for players comparable or flat out better, I'm expecting something in the realm of $5-6M AAV for whoever he signs with. #Bears

@davebftv They play the same position, otherwise I would agree. They need that thumper SS now so bringing back Brisker is more a possibility than Byard ever was once Bryant signed.

Wish Kevin Byard the best but why the hell did Chicago not do this deal? This is a steal. Byard and Coby Byrant pairing would have been nice

@KyleBrandt Without question, not even sure how it could be argued by anyone who isn’t biased. They received medical records before the trade was even announced, come on now……

If Trey Hendrickson was not available, is Maxx Crosby a Raven right now…? I can’t wait to read the replies.

@CourtneyRCronin @NFL needs to investigate this situation and penalize the @Ravens by taking away draft picks. This is absurd!

$28 a year for Hendrickson and the Ravens get to keep their two first rounders that were rescinded from the Crosby trade. The NFL is insane.

@AaronLemingNFL This is the best deal possible. $5MM is nothing for a left tackle and this allows Ozzy to recover at his own pace. Plus, it allows Braxton to rebuild his stock in an offense he knows. Win-win.

I have no issues with this. Decker would have been cool but I’d imagine he’s looking for $15-$20M per year & likely more than just one year guaranteed. #Bears

@AaronLemingNFL @jacobinfante24 And…….that’s called good business. Predicting future markets and pivoting accordingly.

I still don’t like Garrett Bradbury but it’s clear the #Bears saw the C market playing out & said “no fucking thanks”.
