Rucker is the one that really surprised me. I had to look it up to see how old he is (almost 35).

In all, the Bears gave a pair of 1st rounders, a 3rd rounder and $141 million over 6 years.
It was a move to generate (casual) fan excitement, but it wasn't a smart move from a team standpoint, IMO.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
