Bears assistant GM mum on whether team would draft Carter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:33:46 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — While raving about Jalen Carter’s talent, Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham revealed little Tuesday when it comes to whether the team would feel comfortable taking a chance in the draft on the Georgia defensive tackle.“I think the more time you spend around him, the more you realize he’s a good player, but you get to know him more as a person,” Cunningham said. Cunningham said there’s “no denying” Carter’s talent, but will make “the best decision for us and our organization.”The Bears come in with the No. 9 overall pick and no shortage of weaknesses to address after finishing with a league-worst 3-14 record in their first season under general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus.They could use another blocker to protect quarterback Justin Fields. They have a glaring need for an edge rusher after registering a league-low 20 sacks as well as a disruptive force on the interior of their defensive line.Carter was proje...

(AP) — Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich says he and general manager Scott Fitterer have agreed on which quarterback the team will select with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.But Reich says the team won’t announce who that is until Thursday night, when the draft begins.The Panthers are choosing between Alabama’s Bryce Young, Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Kentucky’s Will Levis and Florida’s Anthony Richardson in an effort to upgrade a quarterback position that has been in transition for the last five seasons.Fitterer said last week he had waited to ask Reich who he preferred at No. 1 so that nothing would cloud either decision-maker’s judgement. But on Monday Fitterer finally walked into Reich’s office and popped the question on who he prefers — and both agreed on the same QB.“It was kind of like a proposal — and I said yes,” Reich joked Tuesday. “But there is consensus and we are excited.”Young remains the overwhelming favorite to be the first Panthers QB selected No. ...

JERUSALEM (AP) — The contradictions that make up Israel — its economic and military prowess and its deep divisions and rancorous politics — were on full display Tuesday as the country mourned its fallen soldiers and began celebrating its 75th Independence Day.
