For context, every single one of Shanahan’s former assistants who took a top job has a winning record in the NFL; they have three Super Bowl trophies among them.

They were over a barrel on the extension. It’s a huge overpay but like the Bradley Chubb deal they didn’t have much of a choice once they traded for him.

Sweat is pretty good. He's top 10 in pressures this year. The Bears have also had zero pass rush for years so I see nothing wrong with this.

The last thing the Bears need to be worried about is preserving cap space over the next few years. They’ve got a bunch of money and nobody worth paying. At least Sweat is actually pretty good at his position and it’s a premium position.

with how edge pay has been growing, 24.5 for Sweat's production as a Main Guy is a 2~2.5m overpay at worst. if he'd made free agency he probably would have topped that. e: and like Yolo said they aren't hurting for cap space so may as well splash it around while you can and the deal will look comfortable by year 3

There are a ton of good edge rushers in this FA and Chicago could have their pick of the litter with that ability to overpay. Why, they could even get Montez Sweat! And if you wait until the off season you run less of a risk that the good player you acquire wins you a game your franchise doesn't want to win.

Whatever your cap situation, a top 5 2nd round pick is incredibly valuable. Especially for Chicago, since that might have been the asset they needed to ensure they get the QB they want in this year's draft.

One thing about free agency is that the good players at premium positions almost never actually make it there, and given the extension market for EDGEs and the premium you play for players in free agency, there's a good chance Sweat gets even more on the open market (in the event he got there, which again, was incredibly unlikely). There's a reason Kirk Cousins got a nutso contract as the only QB worth half a drat to hit free agency in recent memory

takes the risk out of it. once FA rolls around and tags start dropping the trade price for one of those guys goes up to a first and third. this way they get probably the best guy available into the building to start negotiations solo rather than competing against other needy teams

and look, it may not work out, and it may have ultimately been a stupid move, because that's what the Bears FO does. we all remember the Claypool trade. but if we assume a base level of confidence I think the move makes sense

Neither the coach nor the GM are interested in tanking this year because they aren’t interested in getting fired, which they probably will be if they’re the worst team in the league again.

Ownership should have already made up their mind on that decision. Either you are giving them one more year, or you aren't and consequently you aren't letting them throw away assets to pay a good not great edge top of market money. I feel very confident that Chase Young and Danielle Hunter will both make less than 25 APY, and I'd rather have either over Sweat.

I don't know why you would feel "very confident" about that given where the market has been set by the past few edge rusher extensions; the only thing that could keep Hunter from getting paid above that level is his age.

Young will probably (but not definitely!) make less than that, but it's because he's an extremely one-dimensional pass rusher with major injury questions. Even if you remove "lol Bears" from the equation there's a reason the reported second-best offer for Sweat was higher than the best offer for Young
