Stinger226 Posted yesterday at 12:12 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:12 AM A no brainer just got done. It seems that Poles is making the right choices all the time. Let Jenkins leave Resign Gordon Let Allen leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted yesterday at 12:28 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:28 AM Is it just my perception or does Poles prefer to go with a higher guarantee and a lower AAV on his recent deals? I can't really say that with Gordon since he's now the highest paid NB in the league but $13.3/yr seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted yesterday at 12:33 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:33 AM now that there's a separate thread, I'll cut and paste this here from the other one. 10 minutes ago, AZ54 said: Is it just my perception or does Poles prefer to go with a higher guarantee and a lower AAV on his recent deals?

Has anyone ever heard that term "slot corner" before rather than "nickel back"? Maybe it's schefter's way of saying the deal transcends nickels, and recognizes him as a corner. Because Gordon's $13.3M a year is nowhere near HOU Derek Stingley Jr $30M/yr CAR Jaycee Horn $25M/yr MIA Jalen Ramsey $24.1M DEN Patrick Surtain $24M/yr MIN Byron Murphy $22M/yr GB Jaire Alexander $21M/yr ATL AJ Terrell $20.25M/yr CLE Denzel Ward $20.1M/yr NE Carlton Davis $20M/yr BAL Marlon Humphrey $19.5M/yr In March of last year, Jaylon Johnson signed a 4 year $76M contract ($19M/yr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about player evaluations but he is managing the cap well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Pretty comparable to the Jalen Pitre deal from a few days ago. Even though he’s technically a safety he functions pretty similar to Gordon in their defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. He's done a great job being disciplined and using that wasted year to a long term sustainable outcome, rather than blowing it all early. I think the staff is gonna help a lot with player evaluations, and Poles can be the cap / money / future guy. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted yesterday at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:06 PM Another thing I like about the signing, it goes thru Caleb's 5th year option year. So technically the entire extension is on a rookie QBs deal window. They can assess his value again with the new cap availability in 2027-2028 after the Bears have won a Super Bowl. I would like to lock down Edwards at LB too, they need continuity at all levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM I'll have to look back at all the contracts, aren't they aligned with the Caleb time line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
