  1. As expected, McCown to TB. We seem to be going backwards this offseason.

    McCown gone

    2 yrs, $10 million, $4.75M this year, $5.25M next year https://twitter.com/MikeMcCartney7/status/443812046514040832 He was obviously priced out of our range.
  3. Bad players are still bad, why waste anything on this guy? This guy was out of position or missed a tackle more than Conte, Steltz, or Wright. Even if this is for depth, the minute he hits the field we get worse.
  4. Our Day Two starts off with MD Freakin Jennings, are you kidding me? I read an article that says he will compete for a starting job? Have we really fallen that far?
  5. Ugh, ranked 63rd Safety by PFF (-4.7 rating). He is a downgrade from Wright and/or Steltz.
  6. So you would have confidence with Mundy and a Rookie as our starting Safeties? That would be one of the worst tandems in the league.
  7. Biggest need? I still thought Safety was our weakest position last year. If we lose Wootton and don't get someone like Allen, you could say we got worse on the DL.
  8. I just felt like we missed out and then had to scramble a little bit. Don't really know how we did not get a starting caliber Safety when it was technically our biggest need. There is not much left on the market either (Clemons, Allen, or some guy named Major Wright).
  9. So Allen goes to Seattle too? https://twitter.com/ESPNChiBears That would suck to lose 2 DL to Seattle in 24 hours.
  10. That doesnt seem like an Emery move. Houston was the "Big" move after we missed on Bennett. Now all I can see us picking up are fringe players or vets on 1 yr flyers, which will be incredibly disappointing with the holes we needed to fill.
  11. I would love Edelman. The offense would literally be unstoppable.
  12. Houston, Mundy, and Senn? 1 starter and massive needs at Safety, CB, and DL. I know it is only Day 1 but we didnt get Ward or Mitchell, and will probably lose Melton, Tillman, and McCown. At this point we are taking another step back on defense if we dont add an impact FA. That scares me.
  13. So $5 mil cap hit this year? I am thinking signing bonus pro-rated, roster bonus applied to this year's hit. He gets 21 over first 3 years. So next year will probably go to 7-8 and 2016 will go to 8-9. If the roster bonus is prorated, then it is more like $2.6 million cap hit for this year, but $5 seems more realistic.
  14. What were our player ratings?
  15. Nope they signed Caldwell as their #3.
  16. Special Teams? I don't know what they see in him that Pittsburgh and NYG did not. He has played in 80 games, started only 15 (10 last year) and has a career total of 2 INTs, 2 FFB, and 1 Sack. Compare to Conte who has 6 INTs and 2 FFB in 45 games, starting 40.
  17. Whitner to Cleveland, Ward to Broncos https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter

    Bears trim Bush

    Addition by subtraction
  19. Wow, that is a steal for him at that price. He was on a 1-yr $5 million contract and now only re-ups for $2.125 more per year? I was really expecting $8-10 for him.
  20. This will be huge for us as we need some impact players on defense (crazy saying that about a Bears team).
  21. Anything is better than Conte at this point. Mitchell would be an upgrade.

    Goodbye McCown

    I don't know how much those other 2 contracts will impact McCown's. Henne had more passing yards last year than McCown has had in the his last 8 (combined). Both of the other QBs are fringe starters, and McCown is not considered in that category. At his age, he is a veteran backup and should be paid like one. I would think McCown would be in the range of 2 yrs and no more than 5 million.
