Schefter Says Bears are Out on Maxx Crosby: “They’re Out of Money”

Remember when the Raiders were the NFL organization that didn’t have any money?

Times have changed and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s the Bears that are the “broke” NFL team right now.

Discussing the Maxx Crosby situation with Mike Greenberg on Friday, Schefter was asked if he felt like the Bears are a team to watch for Crosby, and by Schefter’s standard, his answer was about as blunt as he is going to get.

“I don’t. The Bears don’t have any more money right now. They’re broke. They’re out of money,” Schefter said on ESPN’s Get Up.

“I know people love all this, coming up with concoctions and imaginations and scenarios where a team like the Bears could come up with a player like Maxx Crosby. Sorry to be a party pooper… the Bears don’t have the money to make a move like that right now. They just cannot afford it.”

A few weeks ago, the Bears were rumored to be the front runner to land Crosby, and at least one report said they were offering the Raiders two first-round picks for Crosby.

Based on Schefter’s information, its sounds like the Bears were never serious contenders for Crosby, and if they don’t have enough money to pay him, maybe they never will be.
