Stinger226 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Nate Davis is strictly a RG , does that mean Jenkins moves to RT or LG? Edmunds surprises me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Poles spending so big on LBs. Back in the draft when it was him or Roquan I always figured he'd be better around the LOS. No clue if they intend on doing some of that but I can say for sure that I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given all the money that we spent so far it seems we walked away from over paying a RT and decided to fix other needs. I'm sure there will be a 2nd or maybe even 3rd tier RT on a 1yr deal brought in. Could even be a cheap 1yr for Reiff but rumor was that we were talking with Andre Dillard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Anyone have any idea / seen where the Bears stand from a cap perspective at this point? I am predicting we see one more big money signing (i.e. at our > Edmunds move). I'm assuming it will be a Dlinemen or Brown Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted March 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Looks like 7 more "holes" left to fill. I am assuming 4 will be filled in the draft in the top 65. So 2-3 more mid/high FAs left to sign: OL x2 - Davis, RB x1 - TE x1 - DT x2 - DE x1 LB x2 - Edmunds, Edwards CB x1 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 At this point top needs: RT, DT, DE, DT, DE Secondary needs: C (they could stick with Patrick even if I don't want them to), RB, and CB We have 10 draft picks with 5 in the top 103 where you are most likely to find players who can contribute early in their career.

Davis at $10M a year, Edwards cap hit is $5M this year, so that is probably $35M total (estimated). OTC shows $71M before Davis and Edmunds, figure they are $30M, leaving $41M left or $36M in effective cap. I think Poles will leave about $10-15M for late free agency, so they still have $15-20M left considering the rookie pool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently offered Roquan $17M / yr to stay and he wanted $20+M. This is $18M/yr across 4 years. With TJ and Sanborn, this makes LBs a strength. Im not sure that the order positions get filled is commensurate with the need or value of the positions. It could be that we have several DL rated evenly, and we are waiting for the first one (or several ) to go so the price comes down. Sort of the Free Agency version of trading down in the draft. I am sure they haven't taken their eyes off of the DL, and I look forward to see who we sign there. This team is taking shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Whitehair has to be a cut designated post Jun 1st. That's a wash with the Davis deal (-10/+10). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option could be to move Whitehair to OC. Slide Jenkins to LG. The answer for RT right now Alex Leatherwood, Keller Diesch or slide Jenkins out to RT. Sign a vet or draft one. Early would be Skoronski, Johnson or Broderick Jones. Later would be Matt Bergeron or Duncan or Freeland. Poles is trying not to pay stupid money for a vet. McGaryw, Wynn, Wylie, Trey Pipkins, Brandon Shell. All starters last year. My gut feeling: Brandon Jones-- Jenkins--Patrick--Davis-- Rookie.

Johnson and Dawand Jones are the only two with 36" long arms, but Johnson is much more mobile and extremely smart . I can see the Bears taking PJ at 9 if a bluechip DLineman doesn't fall.

I think Broderick Jones is the fit. Very athletic.34.75 length arms with huge hands, 10" 5/8. Strong base. They could move back and still get Jones.

Stinger226 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Demarcus Walker, 28, 6'4" 280. A rotational piece, started 6 games had 32 tackles, 10 TFL , 7 sacks, 16 QB hits. Couldn't find his pressures. Nice signing. Never heard of him before. A second round pick of Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
