Name a free agent DL the Bears should sign!

[@johnbrennan4449]

none needed.

[@DebbieBaker-ol4qo]

None neede

[@raywhitehead730]

You care? About that? You need a life. Put down the laptop. Take a shower dress nicely go somewhere.

[@IAM_Nodge]

It's going to be Yannick Ngakoue. He makes the most sense. Poles just is waiting for him to pass a physical want to practice and agree to a good fair 1 year deal.

[@YT-Holdings]

The Bears' appear to be happy with how DeMarcus Walker played at the end of 2023. The Bears added Jacob Martin, Austin Booker, Jamree Kromah and Khalid Kareem. They still have Dominque Robinson. At this point, signing a DE that can confidently get 7+ sacks is the only move that makes sense. I don't believe there are any DE's out there except maybe Emmanuel Ogbah or Carl Lawson that would accomplish an upgrade at DE. DeMarcus Walker is the starter right now and deserves the spot based on his full season averages after Yannick Ngakoue got injured. (8.5 sacks, 40 tackles, 29 QB Hits)

[@jondoe4307]

Definitely keep Tyson B. He proved himself when JF1 went down.

[@Davo2times]

VJ is on the roster week 1. need to give him a chance in this new kick off format. carter is here to return punts. collin johnson is safe on our practice squad. velus would get signed by another team quickly

[@gregb2]

Velus Jones is making the team

[@deandregipon]

Could be easily cut

[@DMAN94]

Harrison Graham Da Bears 🐻 Da plug 🔌

[@richardsandberg5895]

With new kickoff rules, Velus is a lock for this year!!!

[@jasonhine4493]

hate to break it to you but they're not going to get rid of the best punt kick returner in the league per average for the the 5th best surveilis Jones is definitely going to make the roster and I see Dante Pettis and DeAndre Carter the ones that have to fight for the roster spot

[@Chicago936]

We're about to whoop the packers!!#FGB#Bear🐻⬇️

[@Scuba-st1ue]

9 defensive lineman will be most they take. One of which will be picked up before season starts

[@petey2931]

So Harrison are you a bears fan?

[@CookieMonster-ge1zq]

Yeah man I so saw him in the chiefs chat sports channel and I was like wtf daddy Harrison why u in here?

[@petey2931]

@@CookieMonster-ge1zq Yeah I’m not so sure he is a real bears fan

[@1turtle1]

Maybe, maybe not cuz rolly is a pats fan and he was on bears chat and is now the host for dolphins chat

[@CookieMonster-ge1zq]

I just can’t believe that he could cheat on da bearskin like this 😭😭😭.

[@AndreRamota]

fr pls answer this harrison

[@davidthigpen373]

I agree 💯

[@jondoe4307]

I think its safe to say that were OVER V.Jones at this point.

[@user-jf8no2bx4w]

I think Shelton will be the starting center and Bates will either beat Davis out or be the guard/center backup.

[@thatinternetdude1392]

This man actually said "aggregences" instead of grievances. I cant even lmao

[@raywhitehead730]

Well that is Real word. Yep! check it out. Just because it's seldom used doesn't make it Not a word. And It WAS used appropriately. Aggrievance. Feel stupid? Source Miriam Webster, & the Cambridge Unabridged Dictionary.

[@raywhitehead730]

My PhD says you are incorrect. University of San Diego.

[@thatinternetdude1392]

@@raywhitehead730 I guess my upcoming PhD in English is no good, but I thought 'aggregences' was a made up word by noted football scholar dropout Harrison Graham and somehow significantly different from aggrievance. Thank you for teaching me that neither spelling nor pronunciation has any actual impact on meaning. And a good flabbyfluetibby tata timare to you too.

Pick 2 WR’s the Bears should keep: Type ‘VJ’ for Velus Jones, ‘DC’ for DeAndre Carter, ‘CJ’ for Collin Johnson or ‘DP’ for Dante Pettis

I would keep pettis when healthy hes prooved a good rotational spot when healthy

[@MAYBE_4EV3R]

Coleman Shelton is the center, not sure why you guys keep listing Ryan Bates at starting center

[@thatinternetdude1392]

Cause the guy that makes more and was traded for is gonna start

[@MAYBE_4EV3R]

@@thatinternetdude1392 generally the guy that played the position primarily as his main position throughout his career is gonna start over the guy who played the position some as a backup

[@thatinternetdude1392]

@@MAYBE_4EV3R generally, yes, not this time

[@MAYBE_4EV3R]

@@thatinternetdude1392 ok, we shall see

[@IAM_Nodge]

Coleman Shelton has to start. He has the most experience and was solid at it on a playoff team last season. Bates is here for insurance for Tevin Jenkins and Nate Davis. He'll probably start more then one or both of them.

[@rtblues]

Dont't trust Nate Davis to play all the games...

[@nyegesford9820]

Like roster

[@franksinatra8445]

DP and DC maybe a team is willing to trade a 7th for velus?

[@RyanJohnson-zo5hs]

The roster is very good except for the defensive line, they need to get another edge across from Sweat. Just someone to hold the spot and give Booker some advice

[@drefalcon1095]

🐻⬇️

[@MaynardGKrebs-tt1dd]

There is a high probability that Amegadjie is put on year long IR.

[@MaynardGKrebs-tt1dd]

Carter will not make the roster. He will be stashed on the PS.

[@chetborodziuk2646]

No he will make the roster so will Jones Jr.

[@jacobfraney1681]

Hed be stolen immediately

[@colinjewston4790]

You give velus one last year to prove something. If he don’t improve you call it another miss from our staff and keep it moving.

[@chetborodziuk2646]

#Bears Why would we keep 5 safties that makes no sense at all keep and extra wr or te that can play special teams.

[@theballerathlete]

Jake Curhan??

[@johnbrennan4449]

I think Curhan is more likely to make the 55-man roster than Ja'Tyre Carter.

[@theballerathlete]

@@johnbrennan4449 I agree. I still think we would run with 10 offensive lineman instead of 9 though.

[@wesleydownes8423]

So you’d cut Wheeler, Homer, Pettis and Jones Jr.? No, they’ll keep one or two of those guys.

[@user-ss8xg9jj1t]

DC and CJ

[@fym_rj1812]

If we don’t keep bagent he goes and saves LV from a boring season

🐻 Down

[@chazzhammer1]

Harrison’s dislike of VJJr continues. VJJr is a top 2-3 Kick Returner in the NFL. VJJr hasn’t fumbled since his rookie season. VJJr never given an opportunity to be a receiver cuz he had Fields as his QB. VJJr is bigger, stronger, faster, and more versatile than Tyler Scott. What does Scott actually bring to the table? Carter/VJJr are your kick/punt returners. VJJr will be in the roster week 1 for sure.

They will keep Jones for sure and Carter. Under the new return rules you now need 2 ŕeturners. It will be easy to kick away from one. VJ and DC

There has to be a better option somewhere than Nate Davis. I'll take a guy with less talent and more fire in the belly over a lazy vet who seems to be in it just for the paycheck any day.

[@raywhitehead730]

Personally, I think these mini camps are a waste of time. By the way does Harrison get invited to those Mini camps? Best sports camps of all time were at Catalina Island off Southern California for baseball. Apparently, it was a babe fest. Well, until the wives found out. Knowing sports history can be fun.
