Would it really be a big deal if the team paid him $2.9 million next year instead of $1.9 million? This isn't a team that's going to be right up against the cap. Seems worth the flyer for a 25-year old who looked pretty good when he played. Victor Cruz didn't get paid though? He was cut before the season began.... And maybe they didn't think he was worth $3 million? I'm not sure I think he is. The second round tender ensures he's a Bear next year. The fact that it wasn't used tells you what they think of him. I know it's just one million dollars, but that money can be put elsewhere. I liked Meredith, but there are way better reasons to blast Pace for than this.

Packer fans, I might have to talk about your team next week to preview the draft and I want to make sure that I know what I'm talking about. I plan on saying something resembling the following. Tell me where I'm right and where I'm an idiot. I think Calvin Ridley is a strong possibility with their first pick or one of the other top receivers. With Jordy gone, they are lacking in serious playmakers. Adams is their only difference maker. Cobb has been a JAG the past couple seasons. I think outside of receiver, there is going to be a heavy focus on the defensive side of things. They will try to get Pettine players he wants. I suspect they will prioritize the front seven, because they have invested heavily in their secondary the past couple drafts. I also suspect they will take advantage of the offensive line depth of this draft in the middle and later rounds, as they've always done a great job developing mid round picks. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

This is great stuff. How much do you expect their draft tendencies to change with the new GM? To play devils advocate about receivers, I'd argue you aren't as good at finding receivers as you were five years ago. Cobb was drafted in 2011. After that, you have the following: Devante Adams - 2nd round Ty Montgomery - 3rd round Jared Arrederis - 5th round Jeff Janis - 7th round Trevor Davis - 5th round Deangelo Yancy - 5th round Malachi Dupre - 7th round Adams is the only guy who is a game changer. Montgomery isn't a receiver anymore and Cobb is fine, but teams aren't scheming for him. Everyone else is a JAG or off your roster. And Adams you invested actual draft capital on. I'd say you are set at ILB with Ryan and Martinez, but you definitely need edge rushers, even if you feel good about Perry / Matthews short term. Agree / Disagree? What do you think of the following fits for the Packers? Leighton Vander Each - You said ideal Tremaine Edwards - don't think he'll fall, but who knows. If he fell to 12 or 13, do you trade up? Ogbonnia Okoronkwo Josh Sweat If Derwin James fell to 14, do you take him, even though you took Josh Jones last year. How do you feel about Josh Jones and Kevin King? Finally, what are your thoughts on the D Line. I know Daniels is good, but what about Clark and Lowry? Is a guy like Vita Vea a possibility for a 3-4 end? Would that fit? Is it even necessary?

mastershakeman posted:hester is the best player all time at his position so not much to say about HOF credentials Forte needed a few more years of high level production to have a chance. It also hurts that he was never the best player at his position in a given year. Was he ever an all-pro? My gut says no. Hester should be, but probably won't because the NFL is dumb.

mastershakeman posted:Bears showing that they absolutely don't believe in Grasu or White (which is good as far as white is concerned, Anthony Miller is the new Tyreek Evans) I think they are all in on rebuilding the offense this season. I really wanted Landry, but watching YouTube clips of Daniels, I get it. I'm really hyped for Anthony Miller. From the limited clips I've seen, dude runs very good routes. Get a couple secondary players and another edge rusher and I'll be pretty happy.

Pettine is really good. I am legitimately worried about your defense next year. I only take consolation in the fact that I think your offense is going to seriously miss Jordy and regress. Or so I hope

R.D. Mangles posted:anthony miller seems incredibly cool Kedzie posted:The changes made to the Bears offense in one offseason seem amazing on paper. Now it is up to Nagy and Trubisky to make it happen. I’m really excited at the potential. Bears desperately need pass rush, very desperately. The Anthony Miller pick means they think they are a playoff team this year. They seem all in on this year.

As long as he's signed in the next couple of days, I wouldn't worry about it. When is the last time the Bears had a hold out? They usually take care of this stuff quickly.

Acebuckeye13 posted:IIRC part of Caldwell's coaching philosophy was not to ride players exceptionally hard in practice, in order to prevent injuries and keep players fresh for games. And from a certain perspective that makes sense... but Jesus Christ no wonder our guys couldn't make goddamn tackles. I'm mean, it's not an either/or scenario. Maybe like one tackling session before a game would be a good idea.

I just want to take back any benefit of the doubt I was giving the Bears. On the radio, they were discussing the offset language on the contracts and holy gently caress. If Roquon Smith is fined by the NFL, his guaranteed money can be voided. If Roquon Smith says anything bad about the team, his guaranteed money can be voided. If something the team hasn't thought of occurs that is considered negative towards the team and is done by Roquon Smith, his guaranteed money can be voided. What is really insane to me is this is a league-wide thing. Most rookie players don't think twice about signing poo poo like that.
