  2. I don’t know what the right thing for either side to do is, but I don’t like any of this at all.

  4. Did they fine him 40k today? Doubt they’d flip it and start fining tomorrow.

    I do think they’d start fining the following practice on monday tho to turn the heat up on him more, like we were nice with PUP and not fining for practice and a game, but let’s go

  5. If Quan plays this year, he gets 9.7 million and maybe gets tagged and makes 16 to 18 million. Good problems to have.

  7. King Poles with the heavy hands. Don’t get on his bad side, he’ll smite your ass.

  8. Man I think the moment that happens you can kiss him ever agreeing to anything goodbye.

    Dude is very emotions driven (not a bad thing), but the fact he has no agent to tell him to chill means he wont.

    We can tag him but after that I would expect to never see him again.

    That would be the nail for sure, even if it is justified it is a big gamble

  12. What’s all this talk all of a sudden about “the Bears probably won’t fine Ro”? I thought it was in the CBA that they *have* to, that was the whole point of putting him on the PUP list, so they wouldn’t have to fine him.

  13. Dudes just a great player. His ability to play between the tackles is a homage to Bears lb history.

  14. Fine him into the sun to show him we’re not fu*king around. From what I’ve heard he was basically offered about 19 mil/ year and turned it down. He is quickly turning into a team cancer/kyrie Irving. I get that he wants to maximize this opportunity, but he’s just being a greedy opportunist at this point. Poles cannot set a precedent of bending to players like this, especially ones who are still on rookie contracts and players on defense. We have such a massive track record of over allocating resources into defense and it almost never works out. We need to be building around Fields and the offense anyways.

  17. Fine him. There’s no other choice at this point. The dude is making this situation impossible right now.

  18. If he gets tagged two years (23 and 24) that is basically a 2 year contract for about 35 million guranteed. Not a bad day at the office fellas.

  20. It’s a job. It’s almost never about winning. It’s the money. Kinda stupid about no agent. I have a bad feeling about this.
