Yikes. The weight doesn't bother me too much, but him not being able to finish the drills is scary. Gonna be reallllly interesting to see what happens. I still can't imagine him dropping out of the 1st. 

Maybe Carter is just another Clowney,  otherworldly talent when he wants to be but hard to count on

So pretty much what Meyers got. Pats must have not wanted him back 

Cox is now back with the Eagles. 1 year 10 million. 

 

Greg Gaines and Poona Ford are still out there and thats about it. 

Orlando Brown to Bengals for way too reasonable a deal. 4 yrs at 16M per.

I’m fairly underwhelmed by their offseason so far.

Yeah it's weird that Poles talked about addressing the needs on OL and DL and basically did nothing there in free agency despite having a ton of cap space left.

Brown was adamant about being a LT. I have questions he was athletic enough for what the Bears do anyways on offense with their scheme.

Yes, I just hate going into the draft with a positional need set in stone for first pick. Esp when corner may be the impact pick.

Really hoping it ends up being something like we acquire tunsil as Houston goes for their new LT at 12 and avoids the big payday on LT.

Him getting just 16m a year backs up everything thats been said.  I heard teams around the league were scared to commit to him, not just the Bears. 

 

To me, he was just a name, and I was fine passing on him. I believe Braxton Jones had a better PFF rating than him if I remember correctly.

They don't have to get all the way up to the cap this year. Save some back for next year. Being any better than 8-9 this year is a longshot anyway.

I thought Clowney was already a free agent. Bud Dupree is a 3-4 edge only right? 

 

I still think they need either Clowney or Yannick. Get Gaines or Poona for NT. Draft 2 DLineman in the 2nd round after getting your OT in round 1.

The thing is brown did it over 3x more pass sets than Jones. The bears coddled their tackles in passing downs.

Austin Eckler.

Pass blocking win rate....

Braxton Jones: 92.8%

Orlando Brown: 91.8%

Yes that’s the rate. What happens if you actually tripled the pass sets Jones was a part of?

Ekeler for a conditional fourth round pick?

No.  Draft a guy

I mean if you bat 3 for 10 it's the same batting average if you go 30 for 100.

Do you believe if someone starts 3/10 that means that they will end up at 30/100?  That’s kind of a weird reply, I think it’s safe to say that increasing that amount of pass blocking responsibilities 3x would have exposed him much more last season

I would be SHOCKED if they pursue Ekeler
