Who needs coffee when you wake up to Bears rumblings?
OK, I *always* need coffee.
In case you missed it, there are morning updates on where Adrian Amos is playing next, Khalil Mack agreeing to restructure his contract to create salary cap spending space, and an Obsessive Le’Veon Bell Watch. Hence the late-bullets.
Chargers run a swing screen to Allen. Buster Skrine gets past the WR's cut block and makes the 1v1 tackle on Allen. Great play. pic.twitter.com/zUqCH7xlFb

The Bears drafted Adrian Amos in the 5th round, got 4 years of capable play out of him for just under $4M total, and now are letting somebody else overpay him while picking up a likely 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick in return next year.
That's how a well-run franchise runs.

Your @kfishbain fun fact for today: Adrian Amos is the Bears' last asset remaining from Greg Olsen. Amos was drafted fifth round (142nd) in 2015, a pick acquired in return for Brandon Marshall. Marshall was landed by Chicago with a third-round pick sent from Carolina for Olsen.

Frank Gore's first NFL team, the 2005 49ers, featured PJ Fleck as a wide receiver, Ken Dorsey at quarterback, Mike McCarthy as a young offensive coordinator, Ben McAdoo as quality control, Vance Joseph as assistant DBs coach. Frank Gore is still in the same role he was then.
