Bears are worth $6B.

Not like you and I worry about wealth, but yes, they are. When they sell, it’s worth $6B. In the mean time everyone in the family is collecting a salary. There is a lot of division between sell and keep inside the family. There are 51 heirs to that $6B and they all want a piece.
Yeah the talk is there are a lot of "extended" family members who would like to cash in and sell but as long as Virginia is around that's not going to happen. Not sure George McCaskey would ever put the team up for sale either.

And really, they inherited this fortune. George Halas started the bears and was married to Virginia McCaskey. When George passed away, the McCaskey family inherited the franchise.
Yep, if divided equally 51 ways, that is a measly $117.65M apiece.
Poor losers for sure.
If Chicago shows up like they have for the majority of last 2 games there are still a few more win chances. I could easily see Chicago get 4 or 5 games.
Can't wait to see the top of the draft set after next week's games. It'd be great if the Bears could trade that #1 pick and still stay in a spot to pick MHJ.With the Panthers loss today, Bears officially have the #1 pick in next years draft. Happy new years.
That would be ideal, but I don't see MHJ dropping out of the top 3. Probably will have to take him at 1 if they want him.
The Bears need a new OC, who we thinking?
Idk, with Wash at #2, NE at #3, and AZ at #4...you just have to be 1-3. Unless AZ really wants to move on from their QB.
Perhaps the Bears won't be trading the #1 pick... If MHJ is the next coming at WR then take him #1 and when his deal comes up to resign DJ Moore might be heading out leaving the Bears with MHJ as their #1 WR five years from now.
The Bears can use the #10 pick at Edge or OL...I prefer OL so they can keep protecting JF1.

Oh, I think they will trade down. There are a couple teams near the top of the draft that need a qb desperately, so there will be something of a bidding war for that slot. If the Bears are comfortable keeping JF1 (and they should be, kid isn't the problem) they are going to get another huge haul to just give up a spot or two this year, which is incredibly valuable to the franchise. Just look what they made of the Carolina pick last year.
Poles has proven to be fairly adept with this, it's weird, I've never had faith in a GM before.

I'll preempt this with I'm a Packer fan but I think the best possible move is they try to trade back with NE at 3 take MHJ and get some draft capital. I doubt BB is happy letting 2 other teams determine who their QB will be.
