    Rantanan signed to 8 years with 12m in average annual value with Dallas which is pretty reasonable and something he probably only accepted because Dallas offers a shot at the cup and Chicago would not.

    They managed to trade away Mrazek, which is nice. Along with Craig Smith. They get back a 4th line center in Joe Velona from Detroit

    If he signs an extension, yeah, not good. But not back breaking as he wasn’t a particularly likely acquisition anyway. While a FA signing remains the most simple way to acquire a difference maker, I still think a trade is what’s going to happen. The bottom line is they have too much depth and draft picks. There simply is not enough roster spots to efficiently use all the guys and future guys they will have on the roster in 2027 and beyond. There is a glut of middle six and bottom six guys and zero impact forwards. I think this years first round pick should be a huge asset to acquire somebody else’s Brandon Hagel.

    I’m not a fan of bringing in unproductive players that coaches worked with before, but hoping it’s dirt cheap contract and Johnson is better at this than all the other guys that suck at it.

    With 5 sacks in 14 games, which was the same number he played combined in the prior two seasons. 28 games played in 3 seasons. Compared to Khalil Mack who has played 50 in the same time frame. Sure mack is significantly older but at some point if a guy goes three straight seasons of being unable to even play 15 games, you have to think he’s not long for the NFL. if one of them would take a one year prove it deal then I guess I’m not gonna complain. But you can’t expect Bosa to be a bookend to Sweat for the 2025 season.

    They traded a player they couldn’t afford
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Bosa seems cooked to me.

    Sure the headline isn’t great but he is a guard that was forced into playing tackle and he struggled there. he’s also a highly paid guard and they franchised their younger better guard and needed to make room. it makes sense why KC would look to move an older expensive guard when they have extremely highly paid linemen elsewhere and a qb on a post SB winning contract. he’s better than anybody that played in the interior of the bears line last year and that is what matters. Chicago needs him and can afford him while KC cannot afford him and have a better guard on the roster.

    It probably doesn’t matter but I’d lean toward letting the better of the two choose where he’s most comfortable let the other guy adjust

    I don’t think a luxury pick is a real thing. The bears need impact players and can use one of them at a variety of positions.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    They still need a tackle and have a desperate need for pass rush. I’d be fine with Jeanty but the lack of quality qbs and the resurgence of the RB position makes me doubt he’d last to 10.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I think they have to extend him, as his cap hit is nearly $27m
  13. jersey cubs fan
    I don’t hate it. They forced their own hand here with how poorly they managed the roster the past three years and punting on opportunities to stockpile while maintaining draft capital. And now they have to give away that capital just to rise to decent. The more work they do now will allow for BPA flexibility with their first three picks. Two guard specific interior lineman pretty much wraps up the Jenkins era who already had one (injured) foot out the door. If they sign the center then they can still bring in a tackle and maybe have the line set for the remainder of Caleb’s rookie contract. But they can’t get complacent and will need to keep bringing guys in even if that will be harder now without a 4th in 2026.

    A certain segment of bears media and fandom must be apoplectic that Bears aren’t tendering sanborn
  15. jersey cubs fan
    9m base plus 8.5 roster bonus. he’s owed 17m this year and I am fine with that. This is what happens when you sit out two straight free agency periods in order to tank. They had not choice but to spend this money and a whole lot more for other guys
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Yes. Shocking that the stats for a player on the least talented team of the last three years are bad.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Seth Jones was not a negative player. He is a quite good defenseman. He was overpaid in a a flat cap era for a terrible team. That skewed perception. But he was a top three Blackhawks player
  18. jersey cubs fan
    In some ways it doesn’t really matter, because you have to imagine there’s a very good chance Chicago doesn’t even make the pick. They have to start looking to trade picks for established players ASAP, or else they run the risk of stalling out in lottery land. The buffalo path is still on the table. I think they have to find a way to acquire two expensive players before next season to meet the cap floor. Free agency might get them one, but a more realistic approach is some sort of summer blockbuster with a team that comes up short this spring and wants a refresh.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    2026 or 2027 pick? regardless this is good
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Boy howdy has this team gone to horsefeathers
  21. jersey cubs fan
    The bears are desperate for impact players. If the best player in the draft drops to them at 10 they have to take him. He won’t drop.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    AH is inevitable but I doubt there’s a whole bunch of randos that know it’s a done deal and nobody reporting it.

    The food that makes Chicago a tremendous food city is not the food you’d feed professional athletes

    Just use the masters app. It’s great.
