Id give Mettenberger and a 3rd consideration. If only because that 3rd pick would be about 70th or so. Id prefer 2nd, Mettenberger and a 5th for Cutler and our 4th.

 

The 2nd is too valuable, I think - especially if we use the 1st to get Mariota after the trade.

 

a 3rd and Mett I could see. A 4th and Mett I would be less open to, but would still consider

Offer Ted Thompson ridiculous money to take the President and CEO of football operations title.

 

Let him bring in who he wants, hopefully, he brings Clements as HC. What about John Schneider as GM? He doesn't hold that technical title in Seattle, does he? It would be a promotion for him, right?

 

Let Thompson, Clements, and Schneider build the team.

 

Given the reports that Harbaugh is considered too pricy at HC I doubt the Bears are going to throw gobs of money at their problems 2 levels above HC

 

How can the McCaskeys say Harbaugh is too pricey? Should never be a problem in this market when the NFL is making gobs of money.

If they clean house and get rid of cutler they are eating like $20+ mil for nothing next year, so to add the highest paid coach in NFL history is very very unlike how the McCaskeys operate.

Let's hope they see how pissed their fanbase is, especially after the last Green Bay Game

I hope to god they dont trade Cutler, but Mett and a decent pick is something I could live with. But insane? stop being jersey

4th rounder is awful a second is decent

 

You're not getting a 2nd round pick for Cutler, especially from a team at the top of the draft like the Titans. A 3rd and a solid, young QB with a lot of upside is probably easily the best offer you'd get for him.

 

The "right" move by the Bears is not to trade Cutler at all because he's a very good QB who you're not going to get his value back on in a trade. That said, though, if they're deadset on trading him, I think a 3rd and Mett is best case scenario.

Yea I think the right trade is no trade, but given trade as a possibility, Alex Smiths deal is still my minimum.

 

I guess depends on how big of a Mettenberger believer you are, but I'd be disappointed in that. I don't think he makes up the drop from high second to high third (not to mention the other pick).

I will admit I've liked Mettenberger's potential since college and was thrilled when the Titans took him where they did, so I'll value him higher than others. I do think there's a decent chance if the Titans looked to trade Mett this offseason, that he could net a 4th round pick and maybe a 3rd if a team were enamored with him.

 

The problem the Bears are facing with trading Cutler is twofold - 1) you're trading him when his value is at the lowest with media outlets and Bears coaches questioning him - 2) you don't have much leverage if bringing him back is not an option. If the Bears just idly shop him to see what he could bring with the realization that they probably won't trade him, then they have some real leverage. But teams are going to believe the Bears desperately want to part ways with Cutler if they try to trade him now and there are other options for QB needy teams (RG3 via trade or Mariota/Winston/maybe Petty/Hundley/Grayson via draft).

So apparently Glazer reported this morning that there's mutual interest between Harbaugh and the Bears?

The meatball fans are clamoring for Harbaugh, but that would be a poor hire, imo. It'd be the knee-jerk, "opposite of Trestman" hire.

Yeah, I feel like you want to be the 1st coach to hire Harbaugh. I think his coaching value was best when he was cheap, wasn't full of himself, and wasn't apt to leave for the next job to give him more power/exposure. If the Bears could have gotten him from Stanford, that would have been ideal.

Harbaugh makes perfect sense for Michigan, much less for the Bears. Bowles on the other hand...

 

I know that Bowles is the hot coordinator coaching candidate this year, but are we really going to go back to a defensive HC?

If you're going the defensive coach route, why not Rex Ryan? His GM has given him absolute dogshit to work with on offense and they've been pretty competitive every year except this one.
