What’s your one-word reaction to Drew Dalman announcing his retirement?
Dang, that's a gut punch
Step back incoming
Now make the video again without the dramatics…..😂😂
Ya'll are making this something out of NOTHING! LOL
You just got an extra $10 million in cap space and you can find a starting Center in the Draft in the 3rd Round…..😂😂
Football is all about "Next Man up!" Drew is gone. Hope he has a great retirement…….NEXT! 😁😉
Come on Harrison, it’s not a devastating loss. It is a loss but will just have to find a center. As if he got hurt for the year. Is what it is.
He got tired of washing nail polish off his balls
Guy from California played in the NFC South in a dome. Played one year outside during the Chicago winter and time to retire. Better start building that dome in Arlington Heights ASAP.
If your heart isn't in it. You can't play at that level
Shock
He's a bs'er. He knew all of this before he signed his contract. He suckered the Bears into giving him a good $15+ that he could sit on for the rest of his life. All that " he's worried about cte" nonsense is nonsensical
If he didn't want to play for us, he could have asked for a trade, not just walk away from the game. I hope everything is ok and he enjoys retirement.
This is bullshit he had a obligation to tell the team much much much sooner-not days before free agency., He should have never signed the contract last season -the Bears could have signed someone else. He is a class a jerk off. He screwed this team over he does not get a soft pass.
The bears absolutely must find a way to get linderbaum on the team
We all need to chill out….we have Ben Johnson and Dan Roushar. We'll be fine
DDAAAMMMMMMMM
I offer my services at league minimum to help. Never played center and Im 58 and fat but I am here to help my bears if needed. DM me the contract and Ill see ya in the summer
That's his decision to walk away than god bless him, enjoy your retirement and life young man.
Hahahah. He gone
At least he did it before the draft and FA but man…he is gonna set his fellow players back because teams will absolutely start squeezing them on the signing bonus now.
Whatever, sign Lindebaum.
Why ????
next
greed
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DREW ,WISHING YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST
Ouch!
Can Nueman play center?
And can McFadden play left tackle?
Ehh, sure you can hold two seemingly opposing ideas at once, like yes its definitely good for him that hes good with leaving early and saving his body but still kind of a dick move.
Damn
