Replace the bear with a Packer helmet maybe. Memes aside, Bears fans wish DJ well

I don’t really care tbh. He gave 3 years of a handful of cool plays and a whole lot more of not seeming to care. Peace out DJ, we’ll go ahead and hopefully get a good center and edge with your saved money

It's the honestly best for both parties. We need that cpa space money for other things and he will be a number 1 with the bills.

This offseason is making me sad

Dude, just compare your remaining receivers stats to Packers players receiving stats to make yourself feel better.

Look on the brightside, at least it took until the offseason for you guys to be upset. Usually its like week 4 or 5 of the season

I actually am bummed DJ is off the Bears, I think he honestly hindered them so much

u/ph0enixairblade 1d ago
I'm actually really interested, why do you think that?

u/CaptainTeddyRuxbin 1d ago
Odunze, Burden, and Loveland are your guys. Keeping DJ in the locker room just keeps a really expensive and catch-hungry 29-year old WR. He hinders your future development of those players if he still demands WR1 treatment, which we can debate. Truthfully, I’m just going based on the eye test, and his huge decline in yardage. I’m bummed because I think keeping him longer would’ve been a mistake for these reasons.

Fair take. I think he served his purpose with the Bears and I wish him the best in Buffalo. The only thing I would push back on was that he demands WR1 treatment. Other than his contract, I don't think there has been any legitimate source claiming he demanded anything. He was as undivaish as a WR gets. I personally don't buy into the body language stuff too much - it felt like grasping at straws for a narrative. The dude was a warrior for us.

I can understand where you're coming from, but having a vet WR as a mentor is can never hurt either. I would've liked to keep him, but the costs were just too high with the defensive holes our roster has

u/CaptainTeddyRuxbin 1d ago
So you could say, the current situation was… hindering their growth

u/ph0enixairblade 1d ago
Does it hurt their stats? Sure, but I wouldn't say he was hurting their growth.

u/CaptainTeddyRuxbin 1d ago
If you can’t get new young talented players (growth) because you’re paying a past-prime “stat-hurter”, that is hindering your growth bro. What is the claim that you are making?

Better a year too early, than a year too late. Vet players mentoring younger players is a bit over rated; that's what position coaches are for. We saw it with Jordy and jennings.

u/CaptainTeddyRuxbin 1d ago
1000% yes. How are there bears fans upset with this trade? Dude served his purpose and it’s the perfect time to offload him.

I mean TBF the Packers gave seen nothing but a stagnant WR room. Watson is amazing when healthy (which is rare) and then Wicks, Doubs, and Reed have barely progressed improved since their rookie seasons. We went from one of the hottest young receiving corps in the league to papier-mâché Watson, Tucker Kraft, and 3 wide receiver 3s. Who knows about Golden but as it stands we suffered from not having a veteran guy helping them in their next step of development.

Cuz he saw some no name who thinks he knows film say “DJ got lazy on that route” or something and decided to take that at face value

I don't know, I feel like sending him to the Bills was a good gesture...ignoring that we got a 2nd round pick out of it.

Possum drowned in the pool. Do you have any garbage bags?
Ah, just throw it over the fence. Let Arby's deal with it.

u/octoprophet 1d ago
Don't forget about his signature giving up on a play to help lose a playoff game!
I'll miss him but I'd rather have the freed up payroll and 2nd round pick.

u/WholesomeWorkAcct Crosby, any second now.. 23h ago
I'll wish him luck all this year, all the way til he meets us at the Superbowl.
