Stinger226 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 We should all be happy , the Bears are getting better and Poles isn't done building the team yet. Cap space and draft capital. I'm happy anyway he chooses because Poles hits a lot of home runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Here is my list for Day 2: Curtis Samuel, Josh Reynolds, Tyler Boyd - WR Braxton Berrios - WR/PR Gerald Everett, Adam Trautman - TE (signed Everett 2/12M) Evan Brown, Brian Allen - C DJ Reader, Poona Ford, Sheldon Rankins - DT Danielle Hunter, Chase Young, DJ Wonnum, Shaq Lawson - Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Barring a Danielle Hunter signing or something, it’s shaping up to be a pretty underwhelming FA haul for the Bears, IMO. Sounds like it’s the Jags or Pats for Ridley. Really needed a potential #2 WR and upgrade at DE, plus maybe someone to compete at C and maybe we get one of those? Maybe? Things can change, but I’m not thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can change, but I’m not thrilled. I expect Bears will get one of the 5 best wideouts. I also will admit - when you look at the big FA signings over last handful of years, more miss than not, so I don't mind the - be strategic on where you are taking your initial swing - than be measured and see what market is and find next wave of guys at your price and where you can where you think you have reduced risks. I presume Everett is one of those - reduced risks - team knows him very well. Not sure about Byrd - we have gotten a lot of people from Tennessee so maybe familiarity there.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are a few trade options, but with the expected salary that Higgins is demanding (more than Moore), I doubt they commit that much of the cap to WR.

I know he's a bit more complicated but he wants out of Cincy and would be (IMHO) a decent #2. If Bears had a 2nd round pick - I would think it would be a legit option.  But they don't. So unless Bengals will trade Tee HIggins to move up to 9 (and Bears get their pick - which I think is like 16th).  Bears basically move down 7 spots but pick up and pay a wideout big money ($25M per year) to pair with Moore.  Still have a FRP which they probably use on defense or oline (or maybe they move down a few more spots again and grab a center). Say move down to 23 or 24 - pick up a late 2nd / early 3rd - grab an olinemen or linemen with FRP and than draft a wideout with the other pick and than use our own draft pick on another olinemen (maybe someone we think could develop into an interio player).  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can’t count on a rookie to be your #2 WR. If they are, great, but you sure can’t count on it. And your current #2 is Equanimous St. Brown or Tyler Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 This is a good place as any "OPEN THREAD" to share this interesting nugget of information. Saw it this morning flash on the screen (NFL Network?) while they were updating the current FA movement. Seems crazy to think that newly acquired Jones has very similar stats to current 'Franchise QB' (and former overall #1 pick) Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. I guess Lawrence has Jones soundly beat when it comes to rushing...but that's not what we want a QB to do...right?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR - Taylor (51.8/121) > FA 10. LB - Cole (50.1/3)> FA Between G and C, the Bears need to make up 1740 snaps. Some will be made up by having Davis full time, but the other half will need to come from a full time Center. Next is WR2 at 764 snaps, then DT at 740, and Edge at 592. So interior lineman, WR, DT, and Edge need to come soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang for a special teamer backup, he's a good depth player. Had 84 tackles for GB last year and 125 the year before with Houston To compare; Brisker had 105 and 104 the last two seasons and Byard 75 and 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
