Bears offseason

[davell]

Some recent rumors, Bears-related and more.....

 

Bears are going after Glennon, who turned down 8+ mill to stay in Tampa. Also going to go after Gilmore, expected to be around 13 mill per.....

 

Browns are strongly considering Trubisky at 1-1.

 

Cooks may be dealt for a 2nd rounder. (Definitely in, at that price)

 

Pace said they're NOT reaching for a QB, will go with board rankings.

 

Jonathan Allen has mild arthritis in shoulder.

If the Browns take Turbisky, would Garrett fall? It seams SF would jump on him, but could you imagine a world where we draft him?

[davell]

It'd be insane to see him fall to 3. If he makes it past Cleveland, I'd have to think San Fran takes him.

 

We're kind of in an odd spot at 3, IMO. If Trubisky and Garrett go 1-2, in some order.....Who's the p!at at 3? Allen is far from a slam dunk now, with his injuries.....

 

Is it Adams or Hooker? I'm starting to think it may be Adams. Especially since Hooker is hurt too currently. In fact, I could see Adams being 2 on our board, after Garrett.

 

A trade down would be great, but I don't know who someone would want to move to 3 to trade FOR?

 

Another QB? Fournette? I think we're probably stuck.

I'm way more interested in Kaepernick, but I'm wondering where his price will fall

[Butterscup]

Holy horsefeathers Brandin Cooks for a 2nd rounder? Yes please.

TOOOOMfoolery

[We Got The Whole 9]

Really want Hooker at the 3 and to sign Jefferson. That sets our Safeties for 5 years easy.

[UMFan83]

Not so fast on waving Alshon goodbye

Amos is good, so no need to replace him. Rather sign Jefferson and Gilmore and draft another CB.

 

Then we can draft Trubisky and sign Hoyer.

[davell]

 

Pace trying to spend all the cap money. And get himself fired?

[davell]

 

Maybe nothing.....But, if the Bears do sign Glennon, but could somehow get Kizer at 36.....I'd talk myself into being OK with the Glennon move.

 

Webb seems to have impressed enough to move into a definite 2nd round pick. Peterman and Kayya seem to be moving into late 2nd, early 3rd territory too.....

 

Personally, I think my cutoff is one of the top 4. Although Webb falling into the 3rd or 4th wouldn't be a bad get....

Mike Glennon = QB Purgatory

[davell]

Mike Glennon = QB Purgatory

 

He's still a stopgap. Signing him doesn't mean you're not still addressing the position longterm.

 

It COULD mean you wait a year to draft your future QB. But, that's about it.

 

The only true negative possibility in signing Glennon is how many years does he hurt your cap? If its two or just one, I'd have no issue with the signing. Because we're moving on from Cutler and we aren't going to throw a rookie out there.....

 

Honest question though.....Does he truly give you a better year than Hoyer would? Because the difference in money and contract is going to be substantial.....

Anyone waving Alshon goodbye for good, was frankly just really wrong.

yes, completely possible isn't a fait accompli as many have treated it following tag decision.

If people thought he could be tagged again, they were wrong too though. I didnt realize people actually thought there was a chance. Its been almost certain since they missed the extension deadline last summer that he would hit FA.

he gone

Glennon, Gilmore and Wagner, not sure how I feel about 2 of the 3

I really can't remember Glennon when he started for TB. I just assumed that he was a Hoyer type game manager who made smart passes and could move the ball between the 20s but didn't have the arm strength to have a high ceiling.

 

But the scouting reports I'm reading say he does have a strongish arm. I could maybe get behind him as a bridge QB, i just get the impression that the FO will look at Glennon as more than just a short term guy and be content to go into the season resigning Hoyer or Barkley and going with Glennon, Hoyer/Barkley and Shaw/later round QB.

 

Not saying in this scenario that they would definitely think of him as a solution to the QB situation just that he is one of several possibilities for future QB and would be trying out for the role.

[David]

i was the pretty anti-1st round qb guy at first but between allen's red flags and this boring glennon talk, i think i can get pretty behind a trubisky pick at #3 if that's how it lines up.

Just your daily reminder there's no good reason to cut cutler this year with such garbage alternative available

With Glennon, I guess I can at least rationalize he is younger. His career is probably a average year cutler performance. So for a little bit extra commitment maybe he projects to provide more value than Cutler (assumimg he gets about 15 m AAV).

 

I don't love it, but can at least rationalize that outcome, though I don't know what odds to throw at it actually being the case.

 

They have to start seriously investing resources into the position either way though. So whether its Glennon + pick or Cutler + pick, they should have a plan to finally put some resources into finding a QB, and a wide net in the search.
