jason Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 This article poses an interesting question: https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2019/02/01/5-moves-the-chicago-bears-should-make-in-free-agency/4/ Should the Bears go after Clay Matthews? Does anyone really think he's going to sign for a reasonable and minimal contract considering his production the past few years? Would he start over Floyd?

Bill Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 God that would be a hard pill to swallow. The first time he did his head flip with his hair and put on his helmet I would regurgitate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Reminds me of the song we sang as kids. Regurgitate, regurgitate, we most throw up the food we ate. Vomit, vomit, V O M I T!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Draft and develop and offer Lynch another 1 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 He's a big name player and he's going to cost a lot to sign. His production doesn't warrant what he'll get paid and we have other more important contract extensions I prefer to get done (i.e. Whitehair, Callahan, even Amos).

Pixote Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I agree with everyone, I pass. However, my understanding is that his drop in production is because they switched him to ILB where he has failed to put up the numbers he once got as an OLB. I suspect if put back outside, he might have a few good years left. (Elsewhere, preferably somewhere in the AFC. LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I dont care that someone used to be a Packer - raiding their larder makes me happy. I would pass on Matthews because he will want more money than his productivity warrants at this age, and he isnt an ascending player with a window that matches the one we are opening. That said, if Pace disagrees with me, you should take Pace's opinion over mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I would rather resign our FAs than sign a decline player like Matthews. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 First of all NO, if he's going to work cheap, he will be back in GB. Secondly he has lost a step. How much you give him for 4 sacks this year, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's getting a potentially high producing player, stealing from the packers, making them hate one of their beloved for being a traitor, and adding a potential pass rush threat in a 3-4. To me the consideration all comes down to money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was coming from a 4-3 scheme as a DE, trying to play in a 4-3 as an OLB is wasn't a good fit for his skill set or experience. We were hoping his talent would allow his play to translate from 4-3 to 3-4 and it didn't. His age also was working against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Matthews has got limburger cheese stank all over him. I want no part of that in our locker room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
