Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 08:23 PM) Is that it? That's a pretty s***ty run. Between Floyd and Howard, Pace beat Emery in one draft. Edit: I forgot Whitehair. People forget what a terrible GM Emery was. Yeah...the fact that is all he drafted is why he isn't here (along with Trestman). Pace's draft last year (one year in) looks fantastic. We'll see what this next draft brings. I wonder if Bears look at Poe / Pryor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard that FA starts before the draft. It seems like GMs want to function the opposite way by building through the draft and filling in the holes with free agents.

Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Is he any good? 3 years ago I'd have been excited if we signed him, but I don't think he's done much last couple of years, has he? Clearly a capable NFL player, but he's forced what, one turnover in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We all are aware the Bears are and always were going to suck again this year right? They need a HUGE draft this year and then FA+ draft next year to finally be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Bears re-signed K Connor Barth on a one-year contract. The deal includes $155,000 guaranteed. Barth was fine for the Bears after joining just before Week 1, but his 78.3 conversion rate is nothing to write home about. Still, he did convert all but one extra point, and the guaranteed money suggests he will have a big leg up if Chicago brings in any competition in camp.

McCaskeys are still going to be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Bears GM Ryan Pace confirmed Mike Glennon is "our starting quarterback." Pace added he is "fired up" about the possibility. Okay, champ. Glennon's contract contains $16 million guaranteed year one, which is starting quarterback money. The deal is very team friendly from that point on, however, suggesting the Bears are not sold on Glennon as the long-term answer. It will not be surprising if they add another quarterback relatively early in the draft. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Glad somebody is fired up.

Harry Chappas Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Ted Phillips wants to recall this email. Ted Phillips knows nothing about football neither does George McCaskey thus neither should speak about the future of the Bears with any sort of certainty. The fact that a non-football person runs the Bears tells you all you need to know. The buck stops and ends with Ryan Pace who had no experience running a football organization before coming to the Bears and is relied upon to be the sole football decision maker. That was what did in Phil Emery as well as Jerry Angelo (once Lovie got in the room to help make decisions). Pace, Emery and Angelo were all good football minds but they are/will be done in a couple of mistakes that will implode. Pace - Handling free agency Emery- Hiring a Bozo for a head coach Angelo- Giving increased roster handling to Lovie The bears need a President that can make a decent football decision. The former accountant and ticket manager are not that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Bears signed OT Tom Compton, formerly of the Falcons. Compton is a career reserve. He played just 70 snaps for the Falcons last season. The Bears have weak starting tackles in LT Charles Leno and RT Bobby Massie, but Compton shouldn't be in the starting mix.
