Bears 2018 Offseason: Matt Nagy Hired as Head Coach

[raw]

Buffalo is evidently talking about trading up. They've got 21, 22, 53, and 55. Not that the trade value chart is a great example, but pick 8 is 1400. 21 and 22 are 800 and 780. 53 and 55 are 370 and 350. Their 3rd is pick 96 and is valued at 116. Our 2 4ths are at 96 and 72 points.

 

To match value, it'd be something like 8 and our best 4th(1496) for 22, 53, and 55(1500).

 

Not sure I'd want to trade THAT far down. But, I guess it all boils down to what gets done in FA.

 

With Landry, Robinson, and Watkins not likely to hit the market, a WR early is damn near a must, in my mind. Hell, I'd possibly use one of our 4ths on one as well.

 

Don't care what the trade chart says, there's 0 way I'm willing to go from 8 to the 20s and not get a 2nd first round pick.

Yeah I wouldn’t do a deal with them for 8 without getting both picks in the 20s. Maybe something like 8 and the 2 4ths for both 20 picks and the third?

Yeah, I'd probably do that. Bills got that 2nd first rounder this year by going from 10th overall to 27th. They got a 3rd last year and this year's 1st.

I'd feel more comfortable with that too. With QBs in play, its definitely feasible to think we may get a premium too. Especially if a QB is still sitting there at 8. In case its not, I'd prefer making the deal early though. Buffalo is the perfect team to do this with though, since they'd still have ammo to move up further, if they felt they needed to.

 

8 for 21 and 22, as a straight up deal isn't out of the realm. And they'd still have 2 2nds, if they needed to go further.

Former Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman has graduated from the FBI’s Training Academy in Quantico, Va., and is now an agent, Sporting News has learned.

 

The 13-year NFL veteran entered the 20-week program last year, as first reported by the Chicago Tribune, and had until his 37th birthday (Feb. 23, 2018) to earn his badge due to a stipulation that a new agent must be appointed before he or she reaches that age.

Tillman is the first former football star to pursue a career with the FBI after a devastating knee injury cut short his playing career since Johnny Utah.

That's a shame about Willie Young. If I am remembering correctly, he was still effective and a good teammate when he was on the field. Guess he's just too oft injured to be trusted.

The bears taking Edmunds at 8 and WR DJ Moore in the 2nd.

For the past 10 years, I’ve been blessed to play professionally a game that I’ve loved since I was 6 years old. But, after much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to retire from the NFL. Like so many others before me, this game has enhanced my life in numerous ways. My career in the League has been nothing short of a miracle granted by God and put on display for His glory. I will cherish the many memories made on the field and the lifelong friends I’ve made over the years in the locker room. I’m even more grateful that God blessed me with Gene and Gilda Forté, my two amazing parents that constantly supplied me with unending love, support, patience and motivation since I came into this world. I’ve become the man and father that I am today because of both of you. I am forever indebted to Jimmie and Dolores Daniels and the city of Chicago because not only did I get to live out my childhood dream in playing for the Bears, but also it was here where I fell in love with my beautiful wife, Danielle, and started a family of my own. I want to thank my agent, Adisa Bakari, for guidance throughout my career and preparing me for this moment and for life after football while still playing. It’s not often that you see an agent who cares about his clients beyond the contracts and field and for that, I appreciate you. I’d like to thank the New York Jets organization for the past two years. My experience as a Jet was truly first-rate. To all of my many coaches and teachers over the years, thank you for your dedication and commitment to my growth and success as a person and player. To the McCaskey family and the entire Chicago Bears organization, thank you for the honor of allowing me to be a part of the rich Chicago Bears tradition and to run in the footsteps of greats like Gale Sayers and Walter Payton. Lastly, to all Chicago Bears fans, you’re truly the best fans in all of professional sports. Thank you for embracing my family and me from day one! The roar of the crowd at Soldier Field as I’d break a run or make a big catch will forever be ingrained in my mind. The past 25 years playing America’s game have left me with unparalleled joy. But, it’s time for the workhorse to finally rest in his stable. While my heart is a bit heavy as I close this chapter of my life, I am excited about what the future holds. God Bless and Bear Down!
