Gaines Adams to the Bears for a 2nd round pick

[RyanLeaf16]

Ruud? Really? I thought Tampa liked this guy. Or is it a contract dispute? He's in a contract year. HAS to be.

Ruud can come play in GB

He is unhappy about his contract, but, that doesn't really matter. With an uncapped year coming and a change to the UFA rules, Ruud would only be a RFA anyway.

I was high on Ruud heading into this season, but, he isn't the same without Brooks. Sure, he still racks up tons of tackles, but, the guy doesn't make plays and is easily overpowered. It was my fault for overlooking the total value of Brooks. The guy is a completely different player without Brooks with him.

yeah.....this move rates up their with Miami giving Philly a 2nd round pick for AJ Feeley.

^this

Merriman isn't the same TB should stay away. Build through the draft, I think Morris will be a good coach. It's not his fault Gruden left him with a steaming crap pile. And if the Bears are good enough this year to make it impossible for Denver to trade up and get Berry, I will be pissed.

Merriman is still a possibility, but, a long one. I don't see it happening. Also, Gruden was limited in what he could acquire in terms of personnel. Seeing this Bucs team now just shows you how good of a coach Gruden was. He made chicken salad out of chicken shit. The Glazers have spent the least amount of money on player acquisition than any other team in the NFL since 2004.

Ruud will be starting to slide when the Bucs are ready to compete again. Where the hell is Josh Freeman right now?

Ruud needs an additional impact player next to him to be truly effective. I think the trade value for him is at its highest now. As for Freeman, I said it when he was drafted - the kid is not a franchise quarterback. He was a reach and it still may be the worst pick in franchise history. As for where he is...he's usually on the bench, not involved or talking to coaches and busy cracking jokes. Word is that the coaching staff isn't "happy" about his progression thus far and he hasn't been able to pick up even basic NFL coverages and offensive reads. It'll just be another instance in where I can say "I told you so" down the road.

Also, don't be shocked if the Bucs trade their 2010 1st round pick. The Glazers are not spending money anymore and I can guarantee you that they did not expect the drop-off in terms of on-field performance when they fired Gruden and hired Morris. Fact is, they likely won't want to invest the money that comes with a signing bonus for a top 5 pick. I wouldn't be shocked if the pick was traded.

They need to sell..

They are trying to...quietly. Their asking price is astronomical though > $1 billion.

DeBartolo will buy the team when he wins the stare down.

LOL 2nd round! Holy shit! Good shit, Chicago, you idiots.

Detroit is the definition of idiot in the NFL...

See Matt Millen.




And Detroit still sucks.

Detroit is the definition of idiot? Make some sense. You sound mad because Chicago gave up a first day pick for a lazy player who's done nothing. Lions fans can't comment on that just because the Lions suck?

How am I mad? Read my previous post. I think it was a good trade for Chicago, IMO. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right. Who knows?


Now read his post. he called Chicago Idiots, when Detroit went how many years of Matt Millen's idiot ass?

LOL 2nd round! Holy shit! Good shit, Chicago, you idiots.

Calling another team "idiots" when your team is horrible? That makes sense.

I know. You're wrong. Just trust me on this. Waaaaay wrong.

They've done it three times now this year.

No one really knows how its gunna play out tho do they? We won't know for maybe a year or two. Prime example. Cedric Benson, didn't do shit in chicago or his 1st year in Cincy now he's tearing it up. Maybe it'll end up being good maybe not, he's still a young player so his past play isn't indicative of what he may end up doing. He could get much better, or he could tank, we'll just have to wait and see

[Aso]

I think this trade is good for the Bears. He's back to a cover 2 and i think the Bears defensive line coach (Rod Marinelli) will really help him out and turn his career around. Gaines Adams is so fast off the edge as well. I this was a very nice trade for the Bears and in the end will be worth the 2nd round pick.

So, because our team isn't good we can't comment on other moves around the NFL? Thats retarded.

Anyone know what Gaines Adams rating was in Madden this year? I think zack attack went and checked his rating, then got all excited.

Who are the other 2?

Cutler x2 duh.

Never said that.


Dont call a team stupid, when your team has been the shit of the NFL the last couple years.

[zack54attack]

Thing is, everyone and Detroit knows it. Chicago doesn't realize that they aren't going to get better by going backwards and keeping Ron Turner employed. Keep drinking the kool aid, dumbass.


Yeah, we did. And you know what, dummy? Nobody in Detroit liked it. When and if he traded a 2nd round pick for some loser, we didn't all jump up and down about it like your faggot ass is doing.

Your a bamf brah..

I'm not jumping up and down lol.. I'm just happy we made this move. I think it's going to work out for us.



And if it doesnt, then i'm wrong.
