At least they see what we see and will adjust whether it works out, time will tell.

If we didnt give him that someone else would have. I dont think it is worth it, but the only QBs in the league earning there money are Brady,Brees and Manning. All the rest are overpaid. They didnt screw around and now know what they have to work with and to go after who they want. This is the modern NFL, all we can hope for now is Trestman gets Jays shit together and we can talk about playoff games instead of opinions on Jay.,

I heard it was guaranteed at 54. So for the 1st 3 years we pay 18 per and after that it is a play per year, so his cost is gone. I like the fact they addressed who they wanted and got it done. Now they know what they have to spend and will judge their signing accordingly. It aint my money, and it doesnt really matter what I or you guys think, the only one that matters is Trestman wanted him. I trust him.

good luck with all of that

Since your a ND guy,they have two gems this year in Nix and Truitt. Would not mine if we had either on team next year.

Those would be good additions. When we have a good defense we always have had good pressure from the front.I am for drafting HaHa and grabing a NT in the second round. McCullens from Tenn is a huge ,man.. Then getting a pass rushing DE,in free agency, like Johnson, Bennett, Jones, Orakpo, there are several out there we can get for the money we save from cutting Peppers. I think we need a team leader like Troy P.,or Reed were as great safeties, and would get that with HaHa.

I also think Tillman would make a good FS, the problem is he has stated no desire to play safety and someone will be willing to pay him more money than we will. IF Lovie gets the TB , I see him going there. Let someone over pay for his services and move on.

A few more observations to add: Jason is spot on HaHa in the first and the NT would be there in the second. Switching to the 3-4 would give us the opportunity to still get some mileage out of SCM. Grab Arthur Jones if we switch to a 3-4 as a DE. I think C. Washington comes more in the picture in a 3-4, he is built for that OLB in that scheme. I think one of the things the defense was lacking in there spiral down the tubes was defense team leaders. I think from what I read HaHa would become one of our leaders in the Troy P. mode. I think Briggs was a sorry leader. The last two games, our defensive team leader failed to address the media after the games and bailed on the rest of the team in that role. So if we switch to a 3-4, he doesnt really fit in to that scheme, so I would have no problem, letting him go. 1 mil in dead cap space and a savings of 5.5 mil in cap space. Plus will be his last year of contract and you know he will be pining for an extension. Go out and grab Orakpo to fill his spot. In the 3-4 we have Cornelius Washington and Orakpo as OLB, Bostic and SCM at ILB, McCullens and Ratliff at NT, and Arthur Jones and Paea at DE. In the backfield we have HaHa, and will have to completely rebuild the rest with the draft and FAs. We have almost have nobody that can play that scheme left on the roster. These changes will not make us a great defense but go along way from being as bad as we were in 2013

I dont agree with everybody he has on there, but well thought out. He starts out wrong with the money, we save 9 mil, if we cut Peppers, he has it as 15 mil.

Would love that draft, but from what I looked at the NT could be a late first round or early 2nd pick, probably doesnt make it to the 3rd.

Marshall is not part of the brain trust at Halas hall, just a buddy routing for a buddy.

I think the smart thing to do is tag him and it gives us one more year to evaluate him. I sure dont want to go back to QB hell, and it becomes more of a risk if we let him go for that to happen.

The Cutler debate will go on all off season and I am already tired of it. The fact is if we keep him, Im ok with it, or if we draft a high QB prospect and keep McCown,Im ok with that. We have a long way to go with the defense and probably need to spend our high picks on defense.

If we are picking 15 we have a chance to get Nix,HaHa, or Hagemen.As of now I think we need a team leader so we grab the Safety and grab a DT in the second round.

I think we need to sign Bennett/DE and TJ Ward for free agency and then we still need to draft a S,DT and MLB. Jason was on track with his draft proposal.

I would think Ward would be cheaper than Byrd, we will probably have to go that route.

Your spot on

Wow , I thought you were the only nice guy on here, cool. Its not so much the team as there fans SUCK. For what ever reason I think we win today. I think the fact we got embarrassed last week, everybody has been focused this week. The key to the game will as usually be TOs. I think a rusty Rodgers will throw a couple, and we hold there running attack to under 130 yards today. Cant believe I think a 130 yards is a good day for a defense, but for ours its being granted sainthood.I think the score will be 27-16 and we winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Always an optimist.

I would love a stud S, we need a need team leader on D and that would do it. Also I like the idea of a tackle machine at MLB, I think Skov would be that and then move Bostic to his natural position Briggs holds now.

His dog died, give him a break.

I would have also rather have Clutts, but it doesnt matter now.

The defense has had posts all over the site, so I would like to know exactly what you would do? There are a lot of smart people on here, this will be my opinion.(do me a favor and dont spend 200 mil )(Anybody can list a bunch of good players, but need to fit in our cap) First of all I dont care for Tucker, but think he will get one more year to prove himself when he gets total control of the defense.(didnt have it this year) Players still here: Briggs,Conte,Peppers,Paea,Bostic, Greene,Frey,Washington,McCellen----------I think Peppers,and SCM are gone Players we resign: I think we bring back Jennings, Bowman,Anderson,Collins, Radliff ,Bass We pick up in FAgency: Bennet is signed to replace Peppers, also a CB and S (have yet to go over FAs) Draft: 1st round: Truitt/ND/DE-DT I think he will be slotted around our pick and can play either position depending on how our line fallls into place. 2nd round: Verrit/TCU/CB He will fit into our defense 3rd round: Swanson/Ark/OC We need to upgrade the OL every year 4th round: Ward/NIU/ S Can become a playmaker 5th round: Fales/SJS/QB A project for Trestman to work with 6th round: Shelton/Wash/DT Adds some beef to our rotation 6th round: Byndom/T/CB Had some size and speed, had a better 2012 season AS FAR AS THE DRAFT GOES SLOTS WILL CHANGE AS FAR AS THE PLAYERS LISTED(WHAT I WENT WITH AT THIS TIME) Conclusion: We cant rebuild the defense in one year. We will still be bad but will see improvement and have some young players to develop DBs-Frey,Jennings,Bowman,Conte,Ward,Byndom,FA signing, FA signing LBers-Anderson, Bostic, Briggs,Greene, a couple of FA signing to fill the roster DL-Bennett,Paea,Truitt,Wooten,Bass,Shelton,Radliff,Collins,Washington

I think Collins played well until he was hurt, will be a cheap addition. Wooten is an average player, would you rather play Shea? I think maybe we bring in Bennett at DE, a draftedl DE ad DT in the new rotation. The facts are we wont have the money to bring in 10 new defensive players of quality, some cheaper alternatives will still be here. It will take 2 to 3 years to rebuild the defense.

Smack talk is while your playing the game not after the league is over,but we are what we are and you display who you are every so often. In your defense, you post a lot of intelligent conversation and then the jerkface comes out in you every once in a while. I dont have a lot of time on my hands, I have a busy life. I spend the same amount of time on FF as you do on here. When Fantasy is in play, I am not on here as much.. I have been lucky enough to be on the plus side of money in FF for the last ten years. The first 5 years I played was a learning experience.A lot of it is luck, as you have shown(look at you record and point total), some of it is being smarter, and prefer to win some money at it, you would rather brag about winning a non money league. Everybody is different. Anticipating your next post, I can be a asshole once in awhile too, and this website would not be the same if it wasnt for people like us with our stubborn opinions, have a good new year.

They are going to hit the wall with the cap space with so many spots to fill, they will keep him only if they cant replace him. Playing well in 4 or 5 games a year doesnt cut it at his salary. I think the possiblity exists that we draft a DE with our first round pick(Peppers gone) The defense needs a complete rebuild and younger players like Collins and Wooten will be resigned. Melton will cost too much. They will have Collins, Paea,new guy and Wooten as a defensive front,with a DT draft pick also in the rotation. maybe a DT free agent also.
