You know your college basketball rivalry is a real one when you’re rooting against the coach of your alma mater’s top rival even though he is at another school.
Ah, March Madness! What would it be without rivalries and schadenfreude?
I think you basically can look at Jordan Howard as a Jay Ajayi replacement. Similar build and size. Speed was pretty similar coming out. If anything, he and Adams will compete for carries and maybe the Eagles still look for competition or upgrades for Smallwood. #Eagles

People crying over Jordan Howard remind me of people crying when they replaced Anthony Thomas with Thomas Jones. Plodding workhorses are a dying breed in the NFL and he didn't fit this offense. Thousand yard seasons aren't the benchmark they used to be.

Seen a few tweets about compensatory picks. So many things would have had to fall into place for the Bears to get a comp pick for Jordan Howard in the 2021 (!!) draft. It’s not a reason to keep a guy for $2.5 million if you decide he’s not going to be part of your offense.

Bears top two RBs are now Tarik Cohen and Mike Davis. High hopes in Chicago for both.

Teams that are good and maintain that, build through the Draft. The #Bears are going to have to give out some big contracts but Ryan Pace has acquired some 2020 picks and can work with them for that draft.
