What team would trade for Manziel? He is trouble off the field and pretty awful on the field. I think the Browns should just admit that they made a typical Browns move in drafting him and just cut him.

 

Browns will most likely do the wrong thing.

Jerry Jones has a serious hard on for him

Jerry Jones would absolutely give them a mid-late round pick for him.

Sounds like Martellus Bennett will be gone after this season.

Yeah, he's apparently upset about his role in the red zone offense.

He's dropped so many balls this year. Dwayne Allen is a FA next year, I think Bears would go after him.

I think they can get a 6th or 7th rounder for him in the offseason. If not, they'll just cut him and move on. Some decent free agent TE's available.

Who needs Dwayne Allen when you have Zach Miller?

The Bears are gonna have a ton of cap space, right? I'm really excited for the offseason. Von Miller could be a target.

I was actually debating whether I should have picked up Miller in my fantasy league when Jimmy Graham got hurt lol.

He'll get tagged at the very least. Malik Jackson and Derek Wolfe are likely players I could see the Bears going after.

Bears arent gonna be drafting or signing a TE when they traded a 6th rounder for Khari Lee.

I would really like to see Danny Trevathan signed. Probably a guard also, whichever one Baltimore chooses not to keep. Possibly jump in on a CB who isn't Josh Norman or Sean Smith.

 

Other than that, find the 5 technique and OLB via the draft and lock up Jeffery. Maintain cap flexibility going forward to keep the budding core in tact and use cap space in 2017 as a contingency for any moves that may go awry.

Khari Lee is strictly a blocking TE though.

And Miller is the pass catching TE who has pretty much taken away Bennetts targets

I would prefer they go after a tackle and move Long back to guard. I don't think he's been terrible there, but he's not a pro bowl tackle like he is at guard.

 

I do really like Trevathon, and Derrick Wolfe like another poster brought up.

 

I'm less concerned about the CB position after the last 5-6 weeks. Porter being injury prone is the only thing that has me a little worried. I think you bring him back though, he's been a borderline pro bowler this year. Fuller has looked much better and looks to have turned the corner. Need to see more of Callahan, but he looked pretty damn good in that GB game.

And Martellus Bennett is essentially both. Not many TEs in the game who can block and catch. With that said, it seems the game favors more of the pass catching TE. Just don't know if the Bears should trust a guy whose been injury prone his whole career (Miller) prior to this season even with the money saved. We'll see what Pace does this offseason though, but Bennett is probably gone.

The Bears will not go into next season with Zach Miller and Khari Lee as their top 2 TE's. I think they'll sign a TE in free agency (they aren't expensive) and re-sign Miller. Khari is a TE3. Which is fine.

relying on Miller for 16 games seems crazy.

Yeah. I don't know the extent of Bennett's off the field issues, but he is an elite TE. He can block and catch passes and at times is a total monster when it comes to receiving. The idea that we should be thinking about cutting him is proposterous to me. He should be traded (if we want to go the alternative). Or we should work out an extension. I also give credit to the way Fox has handled this issue.

 

Bennett has been a warrior for the Bears and other then this past week has played through a ton of injuries, etc. That said, if he truly is Bmarsh in the locker, then I would agree it is time to go this off-season.

It would be more then crazy.

Looking like a weak TE draft this year.

The only thing I do not like about Bennett is he seems to never get any YAC

He's 9th among TEs this year in YAC. Was 3rd last year.

 

I would hate to see him go, but this organization seems to have a no nonsense philosophy so he probably is indeed a goner.

 

I agree with others in that I'm not sure you can count on Miller/Lee. I like the idea of Dwayne Allen, or maybe a guy like Clay Harbor for cheap as an insurance policy for Miller.
