Bears week 8: @ Seattle MNF on ESPN

[Banedon]

I get that I'm stretching for justification here, but...the first pick I kinda figure we're just picking a known commodity, so it's not really a "loss" (I guess it is as far as salary/cap space).  The only "loss" is one first rounder, and a 4th-5th pick swap.  Doesn't seem so bad if you put on those rose colored glasses.

It's very nice that we get him on a relatively cheap deal through 2030. On a financial basis, it's really quite decent. 

Heres hoping he's quite good into his early 30s.

He's 29, so obviously you'd love to hit on a stud DL in the draft rather than have to spend 2 picks to get an older one. Be that as it may, the DL is such a glaring hole on this team and something had to be done. At least Poles went for it all-in. Landed the biggest fish. Hopefully it pays off but the logic is sound.

You can't give up much more draft capital at this point, but they really still need at least a depth piece in the secondary.

 For whatever reason, Dexter never performed like this with the Bears

Yeah, I can't imagine them making any other moves that exceed a 5th round pick. I mean their 2027 draft picks are already down to a 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th. They basically can't trade their 2nd and 3rd or they're just punting on the 2027 draft.

Yeah, we aren't getting Mack. Maybe Nashon. 

[Banedon]

All the mock draft sites gotta be in disarray after these last couple of days LOL

[BigSlick]

Can we get Nahshon for like a 6th maybe? I'd take that. Then let's roll with what we got. 

[Banedon]

Montez gonna have to change numbers.

Packers trade for Parsons: pays off immediately until injury

 

Rams trade for Garrett: hasn’t been as impactful as many thought it would be

 

bears trade for Simmons : ??

 

it will be interesting to see how this pays off, but I love the fit and the timing

[Banedon]

Bernstein yesterday: "Deadline deals don't really have a big impact"

Bernstein today: gusssshhhhhhhh

Simmons is double teamed on every play.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Had trouble with the internet all morning and when I get it back, I see the Bears getting Jeffrey Simmons. Holy moly. 

You don't make this trade unless you know what you have in Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. 

I am still holding out hope that Poles can bring Mack back. 

As for Wright, he should be cheap to reacquire, perhaps a pick swap? Wright and a 7th for a 6th type trade.

Don’t thr Bears have an extra 4 from the Dexter trade? Or did they lose that already? Wouldn’t they just be missing a 1 next year?

Dexter is prolly 2/3 what Simmons is. Dexter has started strong before and faded as the season went on. Simmons is simply consistent the whole season

[BigbadB]

Doubt anything more than a 7th would get Wright back. Maybe the Jets would take one of our end of the bench guys just to get Wright off the roster. 

No one is giving the Chargers more than a 5th for Mack, so just offer up the 5th and be done with it. Might have to wait until the deadline for that one, though.

Honestly, do you even look at threads before posting? There is literally a thread discussing the Bears stadium news that has been talking about this for over an hour.
