We have added 3 contributors at easy money. Now a SS and extra edge rusher , punter and go draft.

The more assets this offense has the more plays the team makes . Making more touches to go around for individuals.

I think this ends our RB search in free agency. CP fills 3 spots #1 KR, 5TH WR, and 4TH RB. Then we draft one and potentially trade HOWARD on draft day when he would carry the most trade value. Howard? possibly a trade candidate. Davis Cohen Patterson (could take a WR spot) Draft pick

I agree, he's a #1KR, #4 RB, and 5th WR that fills 3 spots. I thinks that is a huge signing.

As much as Callahan played well, a more durable Skrine is more of a side step than a downgrade at the position on a cheaper contract. All good.

I can see Pace signing a player on a cheaper contract. A Adrian Phillips/SS/SD or a Jimmie Ward/S/CB on a prove it deal.

It would be interesting if HAHA came here. He is more of a playmaker than Amos. I think he would be a upgrade.

He becomes our #1 KR, 5th WR, 4th RB, fills 3 spots, sounds like a deal to me.

It's a good thing he went to the packers, it cost them some coin. He is a good player but I suspect we upgrade and they will be disappointed in his play, not a playmaker.

I think they get HaHa Clinton Dixs/ SS, Cordell Patterson/WR and Marcus Golden/OLB. None big contracts but will need the money to get all 3.

With free agency starting we all play fantasy football for the bears. We all want Bell, Collins, and top free agents. The truth is we have arrived, we no longer are in line to go after needs, we are now tweaking the roster. We scratch our heads with Skine and Davis but the truth is we have to find competent replacements, they don't have to be stars. Now it's about fitting players in our spending window. You think maybe Callahan and Amos looked good because they were playing with stars around them. I think the personal had something to do with it. A lot are improvements will come from our existing roster getting better. Trubisky, Miller, Floyd , Smith, Nichols, Daniels, Whitehair, RRH, Shaheen, and Wims. Also as the offense grows, Burton will play better and if Long stays healthy that will be huge. Paces strength is the draft. We will add 3 players this year that will contribute and one will potentially be our lead back. We shouldn't overlook the players at the end of the roster as getting better. Joseph, Mincy, Franklin, and Tolliver in the backfield. Irving, Fritts and Iggy at LB. Allen, Beavers, and Lukas on the OL. We are throwing darts at K , Jones, Blewit , a few draft picks. I think we're in good shape, if we get the kicker right and Trubisky gets better, we are going to see a trip to the Super bowl.

I seen a breakdown of both Skine and Callahan, stactisiclty They match up well. The biggest advantage to Skine is only missed 5 games in 4 yrs. Has an attitude and Nagy deemed him the best nickelback in the league when we played the jets. With the 9 starters coming back, he should fit in well. Played on bad teams the last few years.

Not a lead back but replaces Cunningham. Their RB is coming in the draft.

They just didn't draw a name out of the hat and say let's pay him. We will see if it turns out well. The only way we know this is successful is when he plays. Pagano is a DB guy, I suspect he had some input in this , Pace does make some mistakes, we don't know if this is one of them.

We resign, BB/TE. 2 yr deal above RFA cost.

I would guess everything comes down to money. Statistically their very close. Lets say Amos gets 7 a year on a 4 year deal and Tyrann takes a 1 year prove it deal for 5 mil. I suspect we draft his replacement and sign a vet on a low contract, Kenny Vaccaro comes to mind.

It sounds more like that might happen but if you only get a 6 or 7,I would not do it.

He may not be the same player he use to be but that does not mean he was bad. 2018-- 89 Ts-- 2 int--6 pd- 3 sacks-5 tfl- 1 fr- 4 qb hits. Statistically 2015 is the only year he had better stats. Last year Amos had 79 Ts, 2 int, 9 pds, 1 sack, 1 tfl, 1 fr, 0 qb hits. I might add only 3 ints his career. Tyrann has 13 in his career, bigger play guy.

I don't think they know yet, they will draft one and bring in a cheap vet like lynch last year.

Paying a vet has risks also ( Parkey) , keep looking until you find someone at a cheap price.

Having a 3,4,and 5 will get us contributors to the team this year. When you have little draft capital, I see them moving back for more picks instead of forward and give picks away. Pace has a better track record in mid rounds than first rounds. Trust in Pace.

Browns won't tender BBC? He led the team in snaps over the slot last season. Really good nickel class in free agency with Tyrann Mathieu, Bryce Callahan, Brian Poole, Justin Coleman, Darqueze Dennard and Steven Nelson, whom John Dorsey drafted, about to hit the open market. There are lots of good slot corners out there this year. I see Callahan coming back on a lower pay contract. To many players will drive the price down.

I think they resign him on a lesser salary.

The combine always boasts players above their true value. I think the 2 most important traits are work ethic and production on their tape. Speed is very important but not everyone with speed is a football player.

Your probably right but I don't think he gets that from us. He was undrafted and had injuries every year. We have big money ties up in Fuller and Prince. I do not see us dumping money into Callahan when next year we have to end up giving Jackson a big contract. You have to balance big contracts with a few cheap ones.
