I have been quietly on the sidelines throughout this mess thinking that it didn’t make sense Cunningham would take a lateral move to a position where he didn’t have final say over the roster.

That is a very legit concern.

I don’t want another old expensive player on the Dline. We can spend judiciously and improve all three levels of the defense and then add more in the draft.

Just came across this. (Work has been busy lately so if this was posted before forgive me). Bears can clear up to $72mil in cap space with simple restructures of contracts. Maximum restructuring could generate up to $147mil although I'd imagine that brings plenty of pain in future years. Poles has quite a bit of flexibility to improve this roster, more than I expected. https://overthecap.com/restructure "A simple restructure converts payments into prorated signing bonuses within the confines of the remainder of the contract. Teams typically have the ability to unilaterally execute simple restructures without any action necessary from the player." "A maximum restructure increases the amount of cap space via conversion into prorated signing bonuses by either extending the contract or by adding void years to a contract, years that do not extend the contract but are only used as placeholders for the proration. Maximum restructures are typically considered a renegotiation of the contract that requires the player's consent to execute."

Nah there is enough depth at DT and our need is high enough that we can wait. We might even be able to trade back a few spots and still get one who can help. When I say the need is high enough I mean we don’t have to be specific on the need. Either a 3tech or 1 tech makes us much better. FA will likely change that a bit or I could be completely wrong and they will want to focus on pass rush first.

Screw up the QB position get fired. At least now he has more time to watch Sam Darnold in the superbowl.

3 KC receivers clustered together in the bad-bad quadrant.

I expect a TE to be drafted on day 3 to challenge Smythe and maybe one day be good enough to become TE2. I’m looking for the athletic guy that just needs a little more weight and coaching to handle the blocking. You can usually find them in Rd4 or 5.

Do you think he wants a vet OC who is not going to tolerate any BS from his QB? Or the young new OC who is more likely to take input from the QB? So far I see them interviewing Declan and the Lions WR coach. now there are always things we don’t know such as if anyone has quietly made clear they are not interested.

Lamar wanted the OC fired. Owner or maybe GM listened. After their playoff loss Harbaugh was told he could stay but had to fire the OC. Now he’s in NY.

Jokes are not meant to be debated on the merits of the logic.

Lamar Jackson just got his coach fired. Do not go there.

There is nothing a young Pro Bowl QB needs more than a good veteran WR. Bring me Myles Garrett!

Declan realized Hurts isn’t that good throwing between the numbers.

Yes and I’m very curious who we draft this year. Last year went well with a better coaching staff. Can we repeat in year two?
