Loser: The Always Confounding Chicago Bears. Every team that traded a draft pick to acquire a veteran this week is trying to make a push for the playoffs or a Lombardi Trophy. Everyone except the Bears, who acquired Washington defensive end Montez Sweat for a second-rounder despite sitting at 2-6.

Like I get the logic “well Sweat might not be available next offseason in free agency so this way you can get him now and lock him up long term”. But it’s kind of telling all the media and 31 other fanbases were confused by the move.

Do we think Poles is some next level GM who’s smarter than everyone or everyone else is right? I’m goin with the latter. Poles doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt after the Claypool trade and drafting Velus Jones Jr.
