Guess we found the next one for coach’s hate list. The agenda continues.

Excuse my language.........but unfuckingbelievable!! I just got on the web for the first time today,and this is what I find! Finally!
Now I can shut up about getting a TE. Let’s hope memories of HEATH!! echoing around the stadium will be replaced by EB! EB!

Yeah considering the Bears just gave Jimmy Gramps 2yr ...16 million ....9 guaranteed........ this is a rather favourable outcome for us...

Me too, I simply couldn't believe it when I first saw the news. I had to refresh and check again, then again, to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
Quite the coup by Colbert, particularly to not have to overpay for him. Ben's gonna looooove having a weapon like that, and will make life easier for our WR's.

Staying healthy will be the key of course, but great signing for the $$$$$

TE could still be a need. Ebron is not a blocker. He’s pretty much a big WR. Steelers still need a blocking TE. Good news is that blocking TEs can usually be had late in the draft.
Youre such a douche. I don't think you would like yourself if there were two of you.
So let's pick apart those numbers Mr Stats. 2018 was his only 'good year'. Who was his QB? Andrew Luck. He put up decent yardage with Stafford as his QB. Luck is miles better. Then he regressed last year. Wonder why that was? Oh, his QBs were Jacoby Brissett and Bryan Hoyer.
I will put money today on him having better numbers with Ben, then he did all of last year. In fact, his numbers should be closer to Luck's year with a healthy Ben throwing jump balls his way.

That was a trade between the two teams. Very odd!

Love how Colbert is running circles around some of these other GM's. The Bears' commentator's reaction to the signing...lol

As long as he can catch the ball, I concur. He will have a much better season this year. Gotta keep him away from the Coach virus.

That's probably more accurate. Still like the signing.
Also, this would be a good set up for a 2 TE set.

Dang you Coach. I didn't know Ebron from LEbron. Everyone was excited, so I was excited. Now you do this to me.
You have spoken and no one has listened or no one has given a ****.Last I checked Vance reworked his deal. That means he is playing going forward. That is two quality TE's. You are not signing a guy with absolutely no warts. Not happening. good move.

Some of those stats are just ridiculous. Why are people comparing him to Miller the past 6 years? Miller retired in 2015. It's stupid. Of course he isn't going to have a lot of stats SINCE HE RETIRED.
Oh my since 2017 he has the 6th most red zone TDs by a TE. Ok so what? The reason they used 2017? Yup, because he had one good year in 2018. Before 2017 he had 7 TDs in 3 years. Also why not sure total TDs instead of RZ? I think we know why.

I have wanted Ebron for awhile hard to get TEs that can actually stretch the field.
