The Chicago Bears found themselves in a tough situation earlier this offseason.
Chicago signed defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi to a free agent deal, only to have the deal fall through due to a failed physical.
Ogunjobi was expected to be a key part of the Bears' revamped defense under head coach Matt Eberflus, who previously served as the Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator.
Instead, the Bears had to quickly pivot and sign defensive lineman Justin Jones.
Jones is a former third-round draft pick out of NC State that spent the first four years of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers.
And apparently, the Chargers' facilities aren't quite as nice as the Bears' facilities.
Jones tweeted about Chicago's facilities this weekend, saying they're "top notch" (and then some NSFW stuff).
After seeing Jones' comment, my mind immediately went to wondering what former Bears edge rusher Khalil Mack thinks about the Chargers' facilities. I assume it's the exact opposite reaction.
Having great facilities is extremely important. For one, it helps recruit free agents.
But more importantly, if a franchise wants to win a championship, they need to have championship facilities (to go along with championship habits, etc).
It sounds like the Bears certainly have that aspect covered.
