They did sign him for a one-year tender.

The first game of the season they play the Bucs AT Ray Jay.

This is not going to end well.

As a Bears fan, I agree with this statement completely.

You're going to see a lot of this as training camp and the preseason shakes out. A lot of FA's are going to get bounced around trying to find a place to play. With the NFL's move to eliminate the 75-man cutdown, this preseason is going to be very interesting.

Well, Tampa Bay's national nightmare is over. Roberto Aguayo was waived by the Bucs and picked up by the Bears. And so goes the end of Jason Licht's second round kicker draft nightmare.
I wish the kid luck, perhaps the change of scenery will change up his operator headspace and improve his kicking.

Of course the Bears get him. Chicago is where washed up players go to play, cause we don't wanna win anytime soon :hmmm: :banghead:

I have the bad feeling that it'll be another 108 years before da Bears win the next championship, like da Cubs did. Somehow that billy goat curse has become full-grown now that the Cubbies are free of it, so it still lives on.

And that is why I waited until after preseason week 3 to hold my fantasy draft.  No regulars play Week 4 other than kickers, so you're pretty much safe from drafting someone who's on IR for the season.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

You're best off waiting until all the preseason games are over to do a fantasy draft. That way, any preseason injuries have already occurred, and any roster cuts as well. One of my leagues drafted about 2 weeks ago and we've already had a few players get injured and out for the season, so there's been a rash of transactions taking place. My other league however doesn't draft until Monday night, so we'll have seen all that stuff taken place already and can draft accordingly, and still have a few days to make any necessary adjustments, etc.

Looks like Hurricane Irma is going to make a hash of the Week 1 game between the Bucs and the Dolphins. The options are playing the game either Thursday or Friday night, moving the game or declaring it a bye week (which would be the worst outcome as it would force the Bucs and Dolphins to play 16 games straight).

The price we pay for wanting to get together with as many people in the league as possible while we do our draft.  Sometimes you gotta work around real world schedules if you want your draft to be a bit of a party.  Oh well, no regerts. ;)

The last time a Week One game was postponed to later in the season was 1992, when Hurricane Andrew forced the opening-day game between the Patriots and Dolphins to be rescheduled to October 18, when both teams originally had a bye week. I don't know why they just didn't swap home games since it's a division rivalry.

They've done the Friday night option before. In 2005, a Chiefs game at Miami was moved to Friday night. Ticked off most of the people around here either because that meant it was scheduled as the same time as the high school's home game (people here love their Tigers) or that it couldn't be shown on TV here because the NFL has some sort of deal prohibiting Friday games on TV. It was allowed to be broadcast in primary and secondary markets only (which meant you could watch it in Topeka). I think even Sunday Ticket was prohibited from showing it until its scheduled Sunday time.

In 2004, the Tennessee-Miami game scheduled for opening day was moved back one day to Saturday.

This has certainly been a busy year for relocating/cancelling games. On the baseball side, the Rangers-Astros series was moved to St. Petersburg due to Harvey, and now the Yankees-Rays series will be played at Citi Field in Queens due to Irma.

At least the Jaguars and Texans got one in yesterday.
