I have been watching the Bears since the late 60s when Butkus and Sayers were there. Lots of bad years along the way. I cant change teams no matter what but it sure is nice when they are winning. I always like the Broncos as a AFC team, but its always a Bear fan.

I hope they like a Trask-Mond or Mills as a QB prospect that could be got in the second or third round. Ist round-OT

IF we target a player and move from 20 to lower first round, like a Teven Jenkins, I would be up with that. It has to be a OT, time to improve to protect average QBs we have. Jenkins is listed as a late first or early 2nd round range.

For sure unless they are still in play for Wilson, they will keep Graham.

As much as the Bears have always been known as a great defensive team, the last few years they have not lived up to par, so they are investing in offense and taking assets from the offense. I have seen where the GM for Seattle was ready to do the deal with us for Wilson but Carroll objected. So that could still be into play closer to the draft. I personally wouldnt see the future for Wilson and grab a QB in the draft and hope we get lucky. I think this is why Graham is still here. Friends with Wilson.

A few FA notes: Daltons cap hit this year is 5.5 mil Edwards III cap hit this year is 1.7 mil Santos cap hit is 1.5 mil Blackson cap hit is 2.25 mil He is a vet that has been getting better every year. He wont be a Hicks type of signing but may be coming into his own IFedi cap hit is 4.25 I think he will start at RT until the high draft pick is ready to take over. the signing they have made is low cap hits so we may still be in play for Golloday.

If we end up with the trade with Seattle, maybe the signing Dalton will be acceptable for Seattle going back. That could still be in play. This years first and third were offered. That limits the draft to a second to get a OT which is possible . K L Wright is gone , I hope Ro Smith is not in the picture.

With all the good Ss available , Gibson could still be coming back with a cheap contract. There are players out there and after the first sweep of contracts we are now in play for some cheap acquisitions.

Actually Fuller had his contract restructured last year to get Quinn, he has a 20 mil cap hit. We save 11 mil if we cut him. They offered Golloday a one year 12 mil contract. He went to the Giants but came home w/o a contract. What they are doing is investing in the offense and cutting expenses in the defense. If we have Golloday, AROB and Mooney, that helps Dalton a lot. The big thing they need to do is getting OTs to help improve the line.

They went to Fuller with trying to take a pay cut or extent his contract. When he said no, they had to be ready to cut him. Fuller is a good player but if you look at his history , he only had one year with over 3 interceptions.(7-2018). They got Trufant, and if he stays healthy is not much below Fullers level. They will bring in another CB and draft one. As far as Hicks goes, a big leader and cheerleader but did not have a sack after the 3rd game of the year. Has had injuries the last two years at 32. With Fuller they have been playing soft cover, Trufant and I suspect Johnson would be better in press coverage. Maybe Desai changes that which I would be all in on. Nichols will play Hicks spot as Goldman comes back. I think he takes another step forward.

With all these trash moves to make up for Paces mistakes, wait and see , they will go 11-6 and win a playoff spot to keep there jobs and piss us all off.

Pace has made to many mistakes to not have this be the reality of what has to happen, keeping AROB means someone with a big contract needs to go. With Fuller and Hicks going 21.5 clearance in salary cap. AROB franchise cost 18 mil.

The salary cap is real, in order to add someone , we have to lose players. The problem is in the last few years the team has been paying its good players. After all the mistakes Pace has made , good players are the ones with the best cap space availability. None of this is good, but anyone living in reality knew this was going to happen. Everyone wants AROB to hang around and getting rid of Fuller and next Hicks pays for his salary.

AROB just signed the franchise tag. He seen good WRs getting paid modest money and took the 18 mil. Also we met with Golloday. IF we grabbed him and AROB with Mooney. That would be a formidable WR room.

They gave Seattle a list of players to choose from, and their names were on it. To be honest, I dont see Seattle even considering taking on 36 million in salary and pay 39 mil in dead cap space for a trade. I suspect Foles might have been involved and Johnson or Smith.

Pace must be good friends with you, he is doing your biding by trying to get fired.

With all his bad decisions in drafting and FA we are now trying to improve by cutting good players because our cap situation sucks. Replace bad draft picks . Pace plan to get fired in 2021 Andy Dalton OL Leno -Whitehair-Mystifer-Daniels- IFedi resigned TE Keep Graham WR AROB tag and then lose him WR Not resign Patterson Get rid of Skrine-Fuller-Hicks Yet to fill spots at S, at CB and DT Sign Edwards and Blackson DRAFT 1) Tyson Campbell/CB 2) Terrance Marshall/WR 3) Marvin Wilson/DT 5) Kellen Mond/QB 6) Tommy Doyle/OT 6) Tril Williams/SS 6) Ambry Thomas/ CB

I suspect they tried to redo his contract and he refused. I looked at the FA list at CB and a lot of good names out there. Some are coming off bad years but have a consistent history. Casey Hayward, A. J. Bouye., these players could both be brought in for what we had to pay Fuller. Not as good as but not to far behind.

Our DL has Hicks, Nichols, Goldman, Edwards, Blackson signed so far for 2021. I would have like to had Urban back but he just signed with Dallas. We had McCullers and Jenkins in the fold and RRH on IR. Goldman opted out . So would probably need at least 2 more DL players to fill out the roster this year. We have LaCale London on a futures contract. So is everyone good if we just bring back Jenkins and McCullers again? Unless we sign another upscale DL, I think this says Hicks will be here.

We had a meeting with Kenny Holladay last night. Maybe we sign him to a deal like Corey Davis 3-37.5 mil instead of pay 18 to AROB on the tag.

Im not sure money was the only consideration. Sean Payton- Matt Nagy Mickey Loomis- Ryan Pace they have a better run organization.

It sounds like they will cut Fuller instead of Hicks. I think with all the good players being cut they can find a bargain player at CB this year. I am more worried about getting a SS of which there is a lot out there right now. Maybe Gibson can come back on a cheap deal.

Once MT didnt work out, just trying to find a different solution is tough. The top 10 QB trade scenarios was never going to happen. I would say trying to sign Winston was something they should have did last year, he is in a better situation staying where he is at. You could try retreads like Mariota or Darnold but that wont happen until the draft which may be better choices but we will never know now. They needed to try something and this was the only thing on the table. Which is more important right now is just to have a good draft and hope to build a better roster going forward. I just picked a random mock off of CBS sports site 1st T Jenkins/OT Strong-nasty attitude- very consistent- large 2nd K Trask/QB Have to take a shot on a very productive college player. 3rd Nico Collins/WR Similar player to AROB 5th Alaric Jackson/ OT Iowa tackle not rated high but they also seem to be players.

If we try to look at this as a glass half full, this actually broke the glass, so we have to start over.

Between Dalton, Foles , I would much rather have MT back and dump Nagy if he cant use him properly.
