I wouldn't have made it public I'm matching that offer so quick. If you let it stew for five days, more CB's get taken off the market and Packers wouldn't be able to make a play for them as quick. Now the Packers know Fuller is off the market so they can get involved in other CB talks sooner. Probably not that big of a deal, but I think the Bears did Packers a favor by matching so fast.

Well to play devil's advocate by matching immediately it does send two other messages they may feel are more important. It tells the other teams around the NFL to back off when they say they'll match their Free Agents. Was widely known the Bears were not going to let Fuller get away and would match any offer, some teams say this as a bluff so they can maintain control in contract negotiations. The Bears made it known they're not bluffing.

Second message was to Fuller. By letting a player stew for 5 days the player can start mentally packing their bags so to speak, so by the time the team does match the player may feel slighted. Why'd they take 5 days to decide? I was starting to look forward to playing for this new coach etc.

Fuller knows pretty clearly now where he stands with the Bears and how they feel about keeping him around.

The cb market is getting pretty bare, as much as everyone is trying to label this a win....we still no corners....im sure gutes motivation was not to get the bears to spend more, he wanted fuller.

With that it may just be that GB's new highest priority is to retain new CB and WR players. The FA market is growing thin, but the upcoming NFL Draft is ready to supply players for both positions. So far BG has done well, lets continue to trust him.

This draft has a handful of very intriguing CB options. I say we let this play out. ... We've got no choice anyway hehe

Totally agree. Looking at the available CBs in FA is rather depressing. I wonder if we look at a couple of guys who will sign 1 year prove it deals and then draft a couple of CBs to slowly develop.

Looking to be more and more like it will be similar to 3 years ago when they drafted CB with the first two picks. Maybe its 1st + 3rd this year or 2nd + 3rd + 4th but I feel a real secondary rush coming. Good thing its supposedly a deep draft for the position.

Josh Jackson, Denzel Ward, Derwin James I think they all have to start considering buying a winter jacket.

Getting really tired of drafting corners high only to go into the offseason year after year feeling like we have no corners.

Agreed, but I am at that point where I would be surprised if we draft anything other than CB at this point with our first pick. Yes we need help on the pass rush, but Mo may help that from the line to allow us to consider a later OLB pick.

Trust me this new(ish) staff won't be drafting guys like Randall and Rollins and telling them to be corners. They're going to draft freaking corners.

dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (1h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (2h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (2h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
