Stinger226 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Today on twitter they were talking about Poles view of Fields. He is going to praise him and say he is picking up his 5th yr option just to build his value if he wants to trade him. Going into the draft. That would be a bad GM to let everyone know he wants to move on from Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand do you think a team trading for Fields would want the 5th year option in place? i would assume they wouldnt, that would give him year 4 to prove himself and then they sign him to a long term deal during next year? If youre a team taking on Fields after he didnt work out in Chicago, I would think youd be more afraid of the $25 Mil commitment without seeing how he does in your system? I still think that money would count against our cap too but i cant find anything either way on that scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand the team trading for him doesnt have that option. I think the bears have to exercise it, and then the $ is guaranteed, and i think it counts against our cap when we trade? I do know for sure that you cant trade the option to the new team. But maybe you can trigger it and then trade. But then who pays the $25M cap figure?

He will be asked that 100 times by reporters, just lead them on. It's all about driving a trade value up. The draft haul will be because 2 teams will be bidding against each other.

Stinger226 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 In the Falcons last game only 9 of 32 attempted passes went to WRs. They are throwing underneath all the time. Atlanta russed for 177 yrds. If we keep them under 100 yrds rushing we win the game. TOs will matter. The only yr Heinicke started for the whole yr, he threw 20 TDs and 15 int, almost 1 a game. Predictions; we hold them under 110 yrds rushing we have 3 picks- pick 6 for Gordon we have 4 sacks Fields rushes for 114 yds- 210 passing yds- 2 TDs- 1 rushing TD we win 27-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Out of the gate they had the D on its heels. Heineke isn’t a shabby QB so the guys will need to be on their game. He’s not one that can be rushed as much as Flacco or Goff but can get rattled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
