You have to start somewhere. The Bears offense is the side that needs the least improvement. With a quality QB the Bears offense easily could have been top 5 last year. Is Cutler going to be a quality QB this year, who knows. But adding a WR isnt going to change the dynamic of the Bears offense.
The smart play would have been to trade down, accumulate picks and improve the defense.
I hope Kevin White becomes a pro bowl player, but right now the Bears have 3 guys who can catch a lot of passes already and there are only so many downs.
Can't trade down If nobody wants the pick sounds like Bears had no action on it.

Im trying to stay positive, but it just seems the Bears had talent at offensive skill positions.
Bears wanted Williams after he got picked by Jets they took BPA in White. Bear defense is not going to be fixed in any one draft.

So many dumb decisions this team makes in every aspect of the game. Eaton should probably be moved to the 9th spot soon if he keeps sucking.
Can't believe how bad Eaton has been the first month.

I have to admit I don't understand the "team looks lifeless" comments. Is it because they aren't hitting? What do you want them to do exactly? We just saw them in a brawl a few days ago where several of our guys went a little overboard. I am very frustrated with how they're playing too but I don't get that complaint.
This is 3 years running just not 2015.

I agree I posted the video of Adam Eaton talking to RV in spring BP. Eaton was talking to RV like he was his freaking homeboy from the frat. If Eaton was off to the hottest most amazing start it would be "guys play loose for RV".
But he's not and right now the narrative is "guys are too comfy, including Eaton".
f*** this team right now. Wait 3 days and get blown out. This sucks.
No accountability under RV never has been. That is my biggest issue with RV.

Team looks completely lifeless imo. Mentally out of the game. I really don't think RV ever has his team ready to play. Something needs to change imo if things persist like this into July.
Guys are too comfortable and have been for awhile now.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Bears are "entertaining trade offers" for TE Martellus Bennett.
Bennett is entering the third year of a four-year, $20.4 million contract and wants a new deal. With a new regime in Chicago, the Bears are probably at least open to the idea of saving some money and acquiring more picks in the draft with Bennett coming off a career season in which he posted a 90-916-6 line. The "Black Unicorn" led all tight ends in targets with 125. He just turned 28.
