SKULL.GIF posted:This would be such a huge loving haul that I hope it doesn't happen. I mean, that was always going to be the price. We have prior history and this is a solid rear end class a year after the worst quarterback class in 20 years. There are too many teams who need quarterbacks. The real question is whether they can pull off trading down twice and really getting a haul.

Hand Row posted:Lol at Bears fans thinking they are going to get 10 first round picks when there’s like possibly 4 qbs in the top 10, but that Rodgers won’t get one first round pick. I don't think anyone really thinks they are getting more that much. It is fun to pretend they will trade down three different times and get a huge haul. I think second rounder that can become a first is probably the max they get.

Timby posted:Some Bears fans have deluded themselves into thinking the team is going to do a complete 180 in a single offseason when they need a new offensive line, at least one great wide receiver, a new defensive line, a weakside linebacker, a safety and a cornerback, so... It isn't going to happen in one offseason. I don't even think the Bears are going to spend so much in free agency as extend guys like Mooney, Kmet, and Jaylen Johnson and try to grab one or two big guys in free agency.

Timby posted:They can carry over money to next year. It's not like the corporate world, where if you have a budget of $2 million but you only spend $1 million, then you only get $1 million the following year. No, there is an actual spending floor. They HAVE to spend a certain amount of money over a three year span or there will be financial penalties. Considering how little they spent last year, they have to do something this year. If they don't spend enough this year, they will have to go hard in free agency next year. EDIT: Beaten badly Sataere fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Mar 8, 2023 |

Bird in a Blender posted:Yea by giving him a $60 million signing bonus, which is kind of absurd. Never understood how bonuses apparently don’t count against the cap. So a 5 year, $60 bonus is paid out immediately, but is split evently across the first five years of the contract. it would only count $12 this year, even though you are giving him a bunch of money upfront

Bird in a Blender posted:After much meditation I have decided I really like the trade. I was hoping for a pick somewhere around 5-6 this year, but getting Moore is a big get. My guess is Panthers pick is in the middle of the draft next year, which is still really nice. Bears fill a big need already and set up to fill a few more needs in the draft. I am so loving amped for this pick. Me and my friends were talking about maybe getting Pittman from Indy or DJM and all thought it was a pipe dream. Now we can just throw all our money and draft picks at the lines and hopefully improve a ton.

adaz posted:It's not, especially in the tackle area. I'd argue the tackles in free agency are amongst the strongest position in free agency. This is more indicative of free agency than the strength of the tackles, but it is probably one of the best places to improve a team.

Dexo posted:lmao what? Brown is good, but inconsistent. McGlinchey is solid at run blocking, but atrocious at pass protection. Taylor is good as pass pro, but not so good in the run game. But for free agency, everyone is going to be flawed because if they weren't, they wouldn't be free agents.

Brown feels like the safest option, but all the reports seem to point to McGlinchey. Truth is, even with their weakness, all those guys are an upgrade over Borom.

adaz posted:Brown is probably the one you want to blow all the money on but the others are pretty iffy. And with Brown you are probably looking at 25M a year at least... which is an awful lot of money. I mean the Bears have the cap space so sure and there's a real good argument that going from F- tackles to even league average would've made the offense better but imo there's better ways of utilizing all that cap space. If the Saints weren't crazy they'd could really help their cap situation out by trading some like Ryan Ramcyzk to the Bears etc. They have _so much_ cap space there's some inventive things they can do with it beyond just blowing a ton of money on whoever happens to be a FA this year. I am in love with this idea. I also am curious what Poles does in free agency. He doesn't strike me as a free agency guy.

ZombieCrew posted:He played money ball all last year signing random hole fillers and scooping up players from practice squads and fresh cuts like Leatherwood and Nkeal Harry. He didnt make any splashes because that wasnt the strategy last year, but he worked the field. The more I think about it, the more i think he isn't very active early in free agency. And he hits that second wave of free agency hard. Maybe one signing that first week.

YOLOsubmarine posted:The Bears have a billion dollars and a ton of holes, they need to spend money in FA so they can save their draft picks for positions they can’t easily fill in FA. You only get to spend that #9 pick once, you can’t use it on a DT and a DE and multiple offense linemen and another WR. Just because you have a ton of money doesn't mean you need to overpay. Wait for the first wave of free agency to pass and get value. That is what good teams do.

HootTheOwl posted:You have to spend money on the o line because you traded the first over all and will be totally hosed if Fields goes down because you cheaped out on the line. Yeah, but you can spend on the line without overspending. There are more than three lineman available in free agency. I don't want the Bears to overpay just to make a big splash. I want them to do what Poles said they would do. Build for long-term sustained success. And that doesn't happen by going crazy in free agency.

xbilkis posted:Brown at $25 million a year to play LT seems like a pretty fair price given what the RTs are going for Personally, I think that is too much for a guy as flawed in pass protection as he is.

fsif posted:Edmunds is a B+ player with an A+ pedigree. Total physical freak with excellent coverage skills but struggles to shed blocks and is often a beat late at diagnosing plays. But the Bills defense will be a lot shittier without him. This makes me feel better about the move. He's a huge upgrade from Morrow. Also should be familiar with the defense since Leslie Frazier was your DC. I don't hate this move.

Nate Davis is a RG. I think it is more likely when they lost out on McGlinchey that they decided to slide Jenkins to RT. I'm pretty excited with how the Bears have executed this first day. They got a bunch of young guys that can grow with the team and none of the contracts seem like overpays.

Wonder if NFL teams weren't as hot on him as people speculated I think it is probably that he had 6.5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss with Bradley Chubb and just 1 sack and one tfl without him (only 4 games, missed the rest of the season)
