He's ended on IR both of his first two years. Have no idea why they picked him up based on what little I have heard about him. And off of waivers.

Have no idea why they picked him up based on what little I have heard about him. And off of waivers. Low risk because he is at the bottom of the 51 (for cap) and high reward because if he can stay healthy, he has the potential to be really good, even if it is as an RB3: Quote He’s one of three college players since 2000 who has rushed for 1,400 yards, caught 5 touchdowns, and returned a touchdown in a season—the others being Chris Johnson and Christian McCaffrey. He had a 9.12 RAS score from the combine: https://ras.football/2020/02/09/darrynton-evans-ras/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Sometimes players just don't fit in, New surroundings gives a fresh start. Also a couple years of maturity helps. Why was Akin Hicks passed around his first few years and took off when we got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Don't understand the salary cap crap. But what I have read and my understanding is that the trades and cuts they have made now makes it possible to maybe sign a couple free agent OF lineman that are near the top. Like Allen, the rams center, or one close to him and a starting left tackle who both can start day one and fill their position for a few years. I don't think they just need to sign bodies this year. Add a WR or two and back fill the rest then use the draft to get two or three starters on the 2nd day. Listened to a podcast with Alex Brown. Explained possible reasons for letting Mack go. And he made sense. He is a great listen just like Kreutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Cooper was going to a lot of draft capital. I still think we are going to add more draft picks than trade them away. I think Poles will target guys like Cedric Wilson and Auden Tate who were stuck behind 2-3 stud WRs (Cooper, Gallup, and Lamb in DAL and Chase, Boyd, and Higgins in CIN). I don't see any trade scenarios unless if involves players (Jackson, Quinn, or Foles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe there is a true #1 wr that fits where the Bears are now. Would be happy if they could get one or or both, Wilson and Tate, and then draft a possible #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 It only cost a 5th for Cooper but the problem is the 20 mil cap hit for the next 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the issue for any vet now is going to be cap hit. Same with Landry. The only place I think they spend money is O Line and 3T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I think they spend money is O Line and 3T. You got that one. We still do not have a rostered LT, as I don't believe that is where Jenkins is suited or will be. So, you need a starter and backup there. I'm not sure if we have a suitable 3T on the roster either, so ditto... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think Edwards and Kamara may be able to play there, but need add another. 3T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGowan Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 The Bears only have 2 WR under contract. They have to sign at least 2 in FA. If they don't, then it leaves them vulnerable to trade ups in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Poles is reportedly courting Juju Smith-Shuster. He couldn't find a good deal last year and ended up returning to Pitt on a 1yr $8mil deal. After an injury plagued season he'd likely bite on a similar AAV, maybe a bit more, with bonus over 4yrs. He can come in and be a 2 or 3 while a 4yr deal gives Poles time to find his guys and leaves room to re-sign Mooney when the time is right. I still would like to add DJ Chark for the deep threat but maybe we address that in the draft. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/13/bears-interested-in-juju-smith-schuster-nfl-free-agency/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 juju on a 4 yr 34 mil deal. 7-8-9-10 with 17 guaranteed. so you could cut in third year if you want. Or a one year10 mil prove it deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 As far as the Bears moves so far I'm on board with it because this is the first time we have had a new GM and HC in lock step since the late 70's (Jim Finks and Neil Armstrong) Ditka and Vanisi were okay for 1 year but, since that time its been " Your're Hired But Keep The Coach( Except Wannstedt) . Now we have both tied together from the start and this 56 year Bear fan is understanding this process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 JuJu for anything more than $8M would be an overpay at this point. He played at $8M and wasn't worth that. The market will dictate it I guess. Anything over $10M is a hard pass for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did we get for that?So I ask You what is it worth to go after a real option like Christian Kirk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
