Stinger226 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 If Callahan doesn't get the free agent attention his agent thinks he will, how much will the bears resign him for? I'm thinking 3 year 15 mil. 1----4 mil 2-----5 mil 3-----6 mil 6 million guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 He's going to get a lot more than that. I'm thinking 4 years, 28 million. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I've liked Callahan for years but I get the sense we (Pace) are accepting that we'll likely have to move on to other options. We just had one of the best defenses in the NFL and that always draws attention to your FAs. It's hard to think someone out there won't throw some good money at Callahan. Please don't throw out the option of Ty(also)rann Mathieu. Injuries have taken their toll and he's not what he used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 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.

Tyrann Mathieu is not the same player he was 4 years ago after all his injuries. If we sign him it will be a repeat of all the other vet safeties we brought in on multi-year deals and then let go after one season. There is a reason the Texans' fans don't want him back.

Stinger226 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has the play smarts but I'd rather stick with the reliable Amos before taking a gamble on the often injured Mathieu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 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.

lemonej Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I would think the biggest competition for signing both Callahan and Amos would be Denver with both players being familiar with Fangio's scheme and defensive staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sometimes it is good if a few players leave. It gives greater sense of purpose to the up and comers and makes room for the next draft class along with free agents. We must also remember that players will want to come here while we are in the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 We can forget about getting Callahan back. He joined Fangio in Denver. Signs a 3 year 21 million deal with 10 guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I suspect his price when down deeper in free agency I would guess everything comes down to money.

adam Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Pace seems reluctant to give players with injury history new deals. White, Meredith, and now Callahan. I don't mind this thinking, but it should never be all or none. So the debate will be Callahan for $7 vs Skrine for $5.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Denver media and fans will be praising this signing due to the Fangio connection; right up until Callahan hits IR. In the meantime, our guy will be having the best year of his career, due to our front 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be fine and it's nice to see Callahan get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would bet the orginal price was higher when Callahan talked to the bears, probably wanted 9 10 mil., it went down as others got signed, his price went down. So they looked at 9 mil not 7 mil and looked at his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 The media speculates that the Bears had an offer on the table for more than Skrine's but Callahan's camp believed he was worth more. The Bears did not want to wait and miss out, so they moved quickly to sign Skrine. Then Callahan did not get any offers near his asking price and had to settle at $7M AAV with the Broncos. There is a good chance that the Bears offered him that number originally and he turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No risk it no biscuit and now that Callahan has Flacco as his QB he'll get plenty of opportunities to earn his $7mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
