Extending Robinson could probably get you, what another 10 million? Who's your number 2 CB? Your other ILB? Your other OLB? Your other Safety(I think HaHa was a 1 year deal right?)? All of a sudden, the elite defense you're selling Brady on has quite a few question marks before even addressing the 2 or 3 holes on the OL and lack of TE. Roberson or Toliver are their #2 CB whether they get Brady or not. I think they would probably draft EDGE in round 2 to go opposite of Mack. The other SS was probably going to be a veteran thumper on a 1-2 year deal regardless. With that much cap room they can keep Trevathan on a short term deal. As long as Fuller, Jackson, Smith, Hicks and Mack are there I think Brady would understand. Edited March 4, 20206 yr by soxfan49
March 4, 20206 yr I still think Marcus Mariota would be the best bet for the Bears. He needs to stay healthy, but he is still only 26.

That would be a tough sell for the agent as it guarantees one of the clients is a backup. I dont think he would do that to trubiskey unless Mariota gets no other offers.

Both have maybe one last chance at being a starter.

March 16, 20206 yr 1 hour ago, Jack Parkman said: Ew. I'd sorta like him for the Bears but I think he'll command more money than I'd pay for him.
March 16, 20206 yr I Don't think paying Teddy a bunch of money really solves the problem. In fact, I think Mitch can be Teddy, although I might be wrong. I think the Bears need to put their money around building all the right parts around the QB...and find a back-up who could pull a Tannehill while giving Mitch T his shot. If things don't work, than a year from now team has a good roster and is either hoping to find a veteran QB who can win with great parts around them or you are leveraging draft capital for a young QB. One guy I would keep an eye on if I were the Bears is RG III. Could he be a bounce back candidate in this type of system? I don't think he'd cost a ton of money either.
March 16, 20206 yr The new CBA might force the Bears hand on Mitch. This is now the off-season where they need to really decide on Mitch's 5th year option, which might pressure them to make a move on QB faster.

Yeah - The part I don't like is how much money he is going to get. I just don't think Teddy is that good. He's solid, don't get me wrong, but I don't think you pay 30+M for solid (similar to what Tennessee did). I think if I were a team I'd make sure i had a good system and OC and I'd try running through young QB's on a regular basis and regularly go with younger QB's (trade guys to other franchises to keep accumulating enough draft capital).

March 16, 20206 yr Nick Kwiatkoski posted a photo of the Raiders new stadium on Twitter, I would assume that means he signed with the Raiders or maybe he is a big time fan of stadiums.

March 16, 20206 yr 6 minutes ago, GoSox05 said: They are talking about 20 plus million per year for Bridgewater. Good lord. Worked for Mike Glennon. Anyway, so @bmags yeah if they can spend money on this they could go for Brady.
March 16, 20206 yr 25 minutes ago, Tony said: Sounds like Teddy may be close (according to ProFootballTalk) and It’s not competition for Mitch, but a sign the Bears are done with the Mitch experience. Definitely - If you go after any big name QB, you are saying you are done with Mitch. I'm 100% okay with that approach. At the end of the day, no one knows Mitch and his faults better than the Bears front office. For all we know they literally were spending the whole season shaking their heads trying to figure how they could scheme around all of his weaknesses/faults. None of us know how he recognizes film study, etc, either, than the coaching staff. My whole beef is more in how much do they know someone. But if Pace got a favorable word from Payton and company, I can get on board. The one thing I can appreciate is the Bears under Pace have always been aggressive. I think tying up $30M+ to mediocre QB's isn't smart, but than again, almost every team in the league consistently does it. And if Mitch is really that bad, than getting up to mediocre with this defense and everything else may be all the Bears need.

Yeah - I like Brady because short-term you can see how much you can maximize the team, while longer term you haven't tied yourself up. It also gives you a good barometer for the type of offensive mind Nagy really is. If there is one thing evident from the Bears diving deep into QB, they think Mitch is really bad, which means, you probably have to put a huge asterisk on last years offensive performance and how you evaluate Nagy, etc. Of course, I think Brady's best years are far behind him and I don't know that Bridgewater is worse (in fact he's probably better than Brady at all things except for "notoriety" at this point). Hopefully any Bridgewater deal has ways to get out of it without being in total cap hell after 2ish years.
