They have the cap space and should use it but they could theoretically make better use of it by spending on several players instead of spending $14m/year on Alshon. The determination for whether or not Pace is dumb has nothing to do with the Alshon franchise tag usage or lack thereof. It's not stupid to not tag him, and it's not even stupid to decide not to spend $14m/year on him in a longterm deal. The question is what else he'd do with the money. not resigning Alshon during the season was stupid. And your theory about what to do with the extra money is all fine, but who will Pace get? Berry? Bouye? Johnson? I doubt he gets any of them, and there is still the elephant in the room: KEVIN WHITE IS A BUST.

I don't understand why he hasn't been resigned at this point, avoiding the franchise tag issue all together. But letting a #1 walk at 27 years old is stupid. They aren't going to resign him at this point Well when he passed last years deadline for an extension, he was almost certainly always going to test FA. Is there a report that actually states hes not expected to resign? I suppose this could work out for Pace. Alshon goes out to the free market, gets low-balled, crawls back to Halas Hall and resigns. But when was the last time (if ever) has that happened with any top FA and their respective team?

They aren't going to resign him at this point in the world of salary cap sports, it might not make sense to pay Alshon top WR money, assuming that is what he wants. To date he hasn't had the career of a guy worth top WR money. The problem is not having much to replace him. The Bears are top 5 in cap space. if there is a team with a need for a #1- #1a WR AND the money to do it, its Chicago. And not having a replacement just compounds the issue.

maybe maybe not But if you're coming to that conclusion based on the fact that they won't franchise tag Alshon, I think that is misguided.

I think it would be fantastic to get Watson Rd 2 https://www.google.com/amp/www.sportingnews.com/amp/nfl/news/nfl-draft-rumors-2017-quarterbacks-deshaun-watson-49ers-browns/t3pvkv342oav1m3bnaugzlvdk?client=safari

Dude has Trump hands I wouldn't mind him if you could get him for a late 1st Rd pick, but anything more then that forget it

Isn't that Nuts argument? If you're going to suck, suck handsomely?

Terrible idea horsefeathers pace

I wouldn't consider drafting a QB at #3 a bad choice as long as we get to chose from all who are available. To me, that means Cle and SF both pass on qb
-
I loved it, and I'll quote it
-
I don't understand why'd you be happy to be wrong, as in if you found yourself happy to draft Watson I think I know what you're saying, it just reads funny
-
What
-
Lol
-
it would be really hard to disappoint me here. Trubisky, Allen, Adams, Hooker, trade down. doesn't really matter, it's all good unless Pace decides to wear a wedding dress to the draft. even if he does wear a dress and drafts one of those you mention, I can accept it. I agree with you. Lets get some talent
-
Who is Daniel Jeremiah and why should his opinion matter?
-
They'll bring Alshon back
-
Josh Gordon is a nice fantasy, but that's about it. Between Alshon, KW, and Meredith, I think we should be able to field a competent few w/o fantasizing
-
I cannot fathom a reasonable outcome where Berry hits the open market. If safety is a true need, I think have to draft one
-
Trubisky Rd 1 Evans, peppers, Connecticut dude in Rd 2 OL, DL rounds 3-4
-
It sucks, regardless
-
That might be the lamest hype video/draft preview I have ever seen
-
Adams is a SS while Hooker is likely a FS. Who do we currently have at either position? If I was drafting one, I'd draft towards the weaker position. Hooker could be Ed Reed II
