Trevis Gipson given permission to seek trade.

To secure him?

Gipson went unclaimed on the waiver wire today so obviously all of us, me included, valued him higher than 32 GMs did.  Not a single team thought he was worth a roster spot. 

Just a data point.  I was watching Poles and Cunningham on their presser regarding the Final 53.  Poles was very clear on two things that he said were created out of nothing, Gipson never talked to the Bears about wanting a trade and Mooney was never even thought of as trade-bait.

I don't know if it is just me, but it sure seems that we are getting a lot of MSU from everywhere in the media this off-season.  And a lot more than normal.

What is really bothering me is we've had a series of things just like this and they all seem to be bogus. If it was on or two mixed in with some decent reporting, I wouldn't be bothered by it.  But we've had a series of these things.

As far as the GM and the HC go, these guys seem to be a lot more open with a lot of what they talk about than the last 3 or 4 iterations.  So until we get something blatant out of them, I'm going to give them the benefit  of the doubt.
