1. not with a bang, but with a whimper

2. Isn’t that huge news? They’re on the hook for his contract now?

3. They take the contract? Why didn’t they trade for him?

4. Hopefully this means they take his contract

5. Thats good for us. They take on his contract dont they?

   Disappointed it didnt work out but I hope he bounces back with a fresh start. He seems like a good dude.

6. Ooo we gonna get some comp picks?

7. I hope he gets his confidence back and does good there

8. Fuck yes!!!

9. That’s good for the contract sake

10. This made me a temporary bears “fan”. I’m so grateful that they saved us cap I’ll root for em a lil bit this season.

11. Bears just did us a massive solid. Thank you Mack bros.

12. @spotrac
    The #Bears claiming Alex Leatherwood just saved the #Raiders $5.9M of dead cap & cash.

19. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA justin fields job just got a whole lot more dangerous. Leatherwoods ass is gonna be all up in his face. Playing o-line on his heels

20. oh fuck yes. wasn’t expecting him to be claimed

21. They gave us PG to polish our defense and we gave them Leatherwood, that’s a win in my book

22. Hopefully we use this extra cash to help resign Waller now

23. Good luck Fields…

25. Good luck meme king, hopefully can turn it around and have a healthy, solid career.

26. Wish him the best, felt bad for him. Hope he can start fresh and be able to do better in a different environment.

27. Dude’s going to go to the Bears, pull a rabbit out of his hat, and become the next Anthony Munoz or Art Shell just out of spite lmfao
