    I can see them in a holding pattern while they wait out to see who else gets cut in the coming weeks. It would be nice to improve the OLine and OLB before the draft, because I believe those are the two positions that don't have at least an average/capable starter, assuming Fuller is back.

    I don't like the Carlos Hyde move for the Browns. Barkley just seemed like a perfect complement to Duke Johnson in the backfield. Hyde got paid too much for Cleveland to draft Barkley. What the hell is Arizona doing? They picked up Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon. I don't know who was worse last year, but Arizona plans to find out.

    There is still plenty of talent that hasn't been cut yet by just about every team. I'm guessing all three of those guys are as good as gone. No need for Sims. Cooper was a bust and the draft is stocked with CB's. Wheaton wouldn't make the roster if they did keep him around.

    I think Gentry could get a look at replacing Bellamy as the 5th/ST guy. Of course, we could get a day two receiver that shakes up the back end of the WR roster. Also, I was a little surprised Gabriel has so few returns listed. 4 kickoff returns in 2014.

    Wonder if the Bears might kick the tires on Navarro Bowman? He has a history with Fangio and is another year removed from his injury. He's going on his age 30 season.

    Ain't nothing official until they scope that knee.

    I have no issue with Wright coming back. He just wasn't meant to be the feature receiver. If the Bears got production form Meredith and White last year, I think Wright has a much better year. I still see him as a slightly poorer man's Golden Tate III.

    Definitely signing to be a starter. He proved he was starter worthy filling in for an injured Zach Ertz down the stretch last year.

    Sean Salisbury!

    Half a dozen suitors for Burton. Not sure how many of those teams might be looking at Burton as their feature TE, but the most recent news is the Lions are interested in him.

    Wilson is signing with Miami.

    I definitely like Allen Robinson. I just didn't think Pace would go after him. I'm curious what the Bears plan to do with Kevin White.

    If Darnold is there at #4, Cleveland probably still takes him. Taylor is expensive and has not proven to to be a franchise QB yet. Taylor gives Darnold a year of learning the ropes. A receiver corps of Gordon, Landry, Coleman and Njoku and then adding a running game where Barkley is the feature back and Duke Johnson or a Jerrick McKinnon free agency type add as their 3rd down receiving back could turn this into a good offense. Overall, I like what Cleveland has done here. They definitely needed a shot in the arm.

    So we get Landry and Miami gets the opportunity to trade for multiple picks minus Landry? That all feels pretty convoluted. Miami trades 1st round pick #11 and Jarvis Landry to the Bears for 1st round pick #8.
  16. BigbadB
    I read where someone suggested we just swap first rounders with Miami and they send us Landry. If Landry were traded, he'd likely be worth a 3rd rounder, so in essence Miami would be tossing in a 3rd rounder to move up. Other teams might be wanting to move up to #8 to get a QB, so I think they idea isn't horrible.
  17. BigbadB
    Given that the Bears already have one guy rehabbing a knee injury at the same position, I find it highly unlikely that they sign another guy with the same exact problem. I think they figure out a way to swing a deal for Landry that doesn't break the bank.

    Forte is signing a one day contract to retire as a member of the Chicago Bears.
  19. BigbadB
    Mocks are all over the freakin' place. Some show the Bears taking Edmunds with the 8th pick. Others show Edmunds at the back end of the 1st round. I just saw one that shows the Bears passing on Minkah Fitzpatrick, Denzel Ward and Quentin Nelson to take Courtland Sutton with the 8th pick. Pretty sure that won't be happening. Not saying I wouldn't like Sutton with the 8th pick as much as I just don't see those 3 guys being passed over in favor of Sutton.

    The one thing about these draft pick calculators that I don't like is that while you can place a particular value on them if it was just a mutually needed trade, but more weight needs to be considered when it's one team wanting to improve their draft position. So Miami wanting to go from 11 to 8 to increase their chances of getting a QB has to make giving up your 8th pick more valuable to the Bears. If they are going to be willing to move down 3 places, you have to be willing to make it worth it. That's not to say that I wouldn't be willing to change it to a 4th or even a 5th if Drake was included in the deal, but right now it seems like an overpay by the Bears. Landry is not going to be cheap if they can work out a long term deal. Howard is less than a million a year for the next two years, which allows Miami some nice cap relief while shedding the $16m they will owe Landry if they can't trade him. Miami chose to tag Landry even though extension discussions haven't been going well. It's well documented this offseason. Miami pretty much screwed the pooch in tagging him, because tagging him for the second time makes his contract for 2018 $16m. There is absolutely no reason for a team to massively or even slightly overpay in a trade for Landry, and Miami shouldn't expect to get the better end of the deal.

    I have been looking at this deal, and I'd say if the Dolphins added Kenyan Drake, it would be a lot more even. The #8 pick is the most valuable piece in this deal The #11 is the second most valuable piece in this deal Howard is the 3rd most valuable Landry is the 4th The 3rd round pick is last. So we are giving up the best draft pick and the best player in this deal for a team that is pretty much forced to trade this guy. Drake can catch the ball out of the backfield and appeared to be showing signs of being an NFL lead back. The Dolphins even traded Ajayi midseason, in what appeared to be a door opener for Drake or Damian Williams to take over. Now they get a sure thing in Howard and they get out from the huge contract they are stuck with by tagging Landry. And they move up three places for a better chance to draft a QB. Still not sure I like giving up Howard. Maybe he can't catch the ball all that well, but Cohen and Cunningham can.

    Walter is exempt from this list, because he is the greatest running back of all time. Hell, he's damn near the greatest human being of all time.
  24. BigbadB
    Willie Young is being cut loose. Not sure I like both Young and McPhee being let go. Figured one of Sitton, McPhee and Young could be salvaged while still dumping most of the others. That leaves Massie as the only one of that bunch that I'd probably hang onto, and only if they felt they couldn't improve RT. The game isn't to see who can create the most cap space. I guess we have to hope good players start getting cut because of cap issues.
  25. BigbadB
    Richard Dent and Wilbur Marshall were favorites of mine. Singletary, Marshall and Wilson together on the field at the same time really made me happy. It didn't happen a lot because Wilson was injured a lot. That front 7 was the best.
