Wow! Haven't given even a half a thought to PTW in ages.

Just took a look at tonight's WBC game. Italy is pounding the hell out of Mexico 7-1 in the top of the 8th.

Odeyingbo is under contract for 2026. He didn't have much impact though before his injury. Not sure how much help he's going to be next season.

I think the Ravens had the MRI looked at, got a lot of feedback, and you're right, decided two 1st's was too high a price to take a chance on. We'll see what starts coming out about the new trade price as we get an idea about who the new players are.

Sorry but that's not the price anymore. Some top doctors have looked at his knee MRI and while he's considered to be on schedule with his rehab, obviously the Ravens thought it was too high a price to take a chance on. No team in the NFL is going to pay two 1st's now.

Every photo of Hegseth is unflattering. Can't be helped.

There are a lot of things unspoken in that Raiders/Ravens scenario. I don't think we'll ever have the complete story.

Depends on who you listen to. Ravens said he failed the physical. Raiders say they just backed out of the trade. I'm not saying the Bears should do it. The Bears would have to redo his and a couple of other contracts to make it work. I'm more curious about what other fans think.

Okay Bears fans, what would it take for the Bears to get Crosby now? If the really do have interest. One of the seventh round picks and a player (kidding). How about one of the seconds and Tyson Bagent? Not that I think the Bears should or would do it. Just curious.

11.03.2026 14:59 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I agree with you. I'm sure either in the first or with one of the second round picks that the Bears will go DE.

Ravens go four-years, $112 million for Hendrickson. Looks like Super Bowl of bust for Baltimore.

He did play a season under Dennis Allen with the Saints so Street has that going for him. He will add some depth on the defensive line.

The Bears are signing DE Kentavus Street away from the Falcons. He's a big guy, 6-2, 315 pounds but not sure how he'll be fitting into the Bears defense.

11.03.2026 01:47 ๐Ÿ‘ 9 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's what I meant. Street is 315. Thank You!

I wonder if Baltimore is going to make a run at Hendrickson now.

Maxx Crosby reportedly failed Ravens physical So what happened with the trade that would have sent Maxx Crosby from the Raiders to the Ravens?

Maxx Crosby reportedly failed his Ravens physical. Based on the Raiders' statement, it feels like something more than that -- because the Raiders seem pissed.

Of course, no NFL deals can be finalized until the new league year, which starts tomorrow. Basically, there was nothing binding between the Raiders and Ravens which keeps Crosby in Las Vegas.

Shocker in NFL free agency, Maxx Crosby is back with the Raiders. Baltimore is saying he failed his physical! Las Vegas is saying the Ravens backed out of the deal! The sparks are going to fly. What is the next move for both teams?

I would say that with this signing that Duvernay is definitely out. Raymond led the league in returns last season.

Bears have signed Lions WR Kalif Raymond to a 1-year deal. Will add some depth to the receiver position but it looks like his true value to the team will be as a punt returner.

The Bears made some solid moves to shore up their defense yesterday signing DT Neville Gallimore, DB Coby Bryant and LB Devin Bush. Looking forward to seeing what else they have up their sleeve this week.

Tua has signed for one year with the Falcons.

Technically he's quitting the GOP. In real life he's trying to wash the MAGA s**t stain from his name while still caucusing and voting with republicans. Don't be fooled.

For those posting about Mike Evans signing with the 49ers and warning about the "substation", try spending less time on Bluesky and more time reading a science book or two.

Mitch Trubisky heading to Tennessee on a two-year deal to back up Cam Ward. Surprised since he's been with Buffalo for a while now.

Pittsburgh Steelers doing a backwards build of their 2026 roster. They have WR D.K. Metcalf, signing Michael Pittman from the Colts but have no one to throw them the ball.

Falcons signing kicker Nick Folk. He's going to love moving from the Meadowlands to a controlled dome environment.

Bears signing former Seahawks safety Coby Bryant to a 3-year contract. Not sure what that means for Kevin Byard but definitely seals the deal on Brisker leaving Chicago.

I've seen different things about Penix. Not sure what to believe right now.

Falcons bringing back WR Olamide Zaccheaus. Good for him because he definitely had no spot on the Bears roster for 2026. Don't know the length of contract yet.
