It's because Minshew doesn't cost draft capital.

Not gonna happen, they signed Minshew. I've never seen a rumor from someone legit get killed so fast. it was literally a couple minutes within each other.

Packers' deal with Jacobs is essentially 1 year for $12.5 million.

Fields about to be re-united with Getsy. Russini just tweeted it out. Edit: nevermind, Raiders just signed Minshew lmao

You're right and that's why the Bears will be moving on. But let's not act like Fields' 10-28 record is entirely on him. The Bears were basically losing on purpose in his first full year.

Blaming Fields for 2022 losses is kind of insane when the defense gave up 27 points a game.

Bagent almost threw more picks in 3.5 games than Fields threw in 13. Bagent might process faster, but that doesn't mean he makes better decisions or throws better passes.

People seem to be forgetting that Cousins sucks during prime time and big games in general.

Greenard gets 4 and $76 mil, $42 guaranteed. Hunter is gonna get $100 mil, easy.

I don't think having low mileage due to being injury-prone is necessarily a good thing.

At this point, probably. But I really view him more as a depth piece than an actual center.

He did get better towards the end with 2 really good games against the Falcons and Cardinals. But I'm not sure if that was him or just the Falcons and Cardinals being bad.

You also have to take into account that Saquon plays behind a non-existent offensive line. If you put him in Philly he would have had way better numbers. That being said, I agree. You're better off investing $8 million in the offensive line than spending that on a injury-prone RB. I'm going to be mad as hell if they decide to ignore center once again and spend a bunch of money on a RB.

Spielberger thinks this is for $7 to $8 million a year. Swift makes sense to get a better receiving back, but the guy is really injury-prone. I guess it makes sense since they have 2 other decent options at RB. But if we're gonna spend $8 mil a year on a RB, you might as well go after somebody better.

I think this benefits Boras and Snell more than it benefits us.

I think they want to end up with one of Wilkins or Hunter as their first option. If they strike out on both, they go Saquon. I guess it is technically possible for them to get one of those guys and Saquon, but then they'd be left with peanuts for other positions of need like EDGE/DI, C, WR3, and TE2.

Wilkins is probably getting $25 million a year.

Arik Armstead got cut. Bears should be all over him if they're out on Wilkins.

There are various levels of suck, and at the end of the day, Fields is at least elite at something while Jones really has no redeeming values as an NFL QB.

2023-24 NFL Season Thread
Why are people trying to tie Mac Jones to Fields? Jones started out well but has regressed heavily to the point where he got benched for Bailey Zappe on a 4 win Patriots team. Fields is a better thrower and runner than Jones and has actually shown improvement year to year in almost every advanced metric, even if he did not take the leap people were expecting last year. They are not and should not be in the same neighborhood of value.

Johnson's cap hit is only $13 mil this year. That leaves the Bears about 49 mil in cap space when you already account for paying draft picks. I'm expecting at least one impact signing (Hunter or Wilkins), a FS (I really like McKinney), hopefully a veteran center, a WR3, a 3 down RB, and TE2.

Official NBA 22-23
If it's one thing I've learned about the Bulls this year, it's that they'll lure you in when you don't expect it and then when they're about to hit .500, they disappoint you.

2023-24 NFL Season Thread
Speculation is that the cap hit is only $15 mil. So Bears should have close to $50 mil in space for Monday.

Pollard was so frustrating last year. Part of it was that Dallas had so many mouths to feed on offense last year, but even when he did get chances to run, he was very average. You can't really blame them for not giving him more carries near the goal line when he usually didn't score. Unless it's Saquon or an actual difference maker, the Bears should just ride with the RBs they already have.

No thanks on Jacobs. He fell off a cliff last year. I'd rather them not spend money on average RBs when they could spend it on more premium positions. If they do decide to spend at RB I'd rather they get someone who is actually a receiving threat. Jacobs is an average RB receiver at best.
