    If I had to guess Jenkins will slide over to RT I'm very skeptical that's the plan. I'd put money on him cut/traded over being starting day RT. When were the last disparaging words from Poles towards him? I thought that was last offseason, and ended with Poles congratulating him and essentially telling him he was proud of how he handled the challenge? Was there something after that?

    Well there are two guards on every OL so unless you think Davis and Jenkins can only play RG and not LG I don't really see the issue here. presumably you aren’t signing a guy to that money and then asking him to change positions. So it looks like Jenkins has to move again after they spent last offseason jerking him around. It seems to me that Poles doesn’t like Jenkins’ attitude. There were vague comments about toughness around him. Maybe they’ve worked through it and see him as moving to the outside. Maybe he’ll go to LG or maybe he’s a prime candidate for being let go. Either way, I don’t think Jenkins is a long term piece in Poles’ mind, yet. If I had to guess Jenkins will slide over to RT

    SI loves Poles decisions and attempts to explain the LB signings https://apple.news/ArQxxs6z5T3OeTX0iAnhJZA

    Luckily, they still need all kinds of help so picking BPA is still in play!

    I don't think Poles is trying to internally develop what they have on the O-line, I think he got punked by the market and lost on FAs because he was unable to react fast enough to it. Call it sticker shock. And Poles is already being defined by his uninspiring FA periods, both last year and this year. Fields not developing would be 50% JF, and 50% Poles inability to support him should JF fail in the future, imo

    I know this is a Bears thread, but anyone else feel like the Bills are about to take a step back? I kinda wonder if the Bills/Allen are gonna become this era's Chargers/Rivers, with the Chiefs and Bengals playing the part of Pats/Brady and Colts/Manning. Feels like maybe an overreaction to a couple very close playoff games, but Allen may be a little more mistake prone(plus his running increases injury risk) and his division looks a bit tougher going forward too. Your missing the Steelers and Broncos or Ravens. in that analogy. Bills could easily end up the latter

    Is he a Edge in Eberflus defense? He's the Brian Urlacher Sorry, I was being more sarcastic than literal. I don't get all the LBs and no DL IN FA so far
  11. minnesotacubsfan
    Hey, if you can't spend on lineman, set the LB market.....I guess

    Is he a Edge in Eberflus defense?
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    Seems like a Poles-type, lighter guard, 313 lbs
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    3/18 is what he got. Is poles aware he has money? Yeah, incredibly reasonable deal. horsefeathers I wanted poles to sign him

    Well cap aside it is cash that matters, but there were really only 2 or 3 teams at risk not meeting that minimum by end of year One if those handed out a 5/105 contract today, and I think also a big DT signing. So it's really down the Bears and Cowboys who probably have work to do towards the cash minimum. I have to be honest, I don't understand the cash handed out vs. cap space thing that well. It would be pretty pathetic if the largest NFL market with 1 team didn't have the resources needed to field a winning team. I understand Arlington Park is expensive and the Bears are planning to build an expensive stadium with their own money, but if they want to win as much as they claim their do then they can find the money to put enough resources towards a good team. Plus unless someone can prove me wrong, winning has to generate more revenue than losing
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    I worry a great deal that he's trying to be frugal in a year where the market is taking a big jump, AND Poles actually has the money to do what he needs to do. He's stated he is concerned with value, but holding cash has zero value for the Bears at this point
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    Good for Denver! Let's steal their DT
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    Poles is getting schooled

    "McGlinchy is a bear"
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    What would that take?

    I kinda get that there's no much out there and we need bodies, but I really hate this whole tackles who get ragdolled in pass protection paradigm. You watched that one clip too huh? To be fair, there is analysis out there that portrays McG as an overmatched tackle when you line him up against the Micah Parsons of the NFL, but who isn't? That being said, he's still the top RT in FA. I'd rather sign Brown and draft Skoronski, but the Bears need to get whomever they can get at this point https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/.amp/news/the-harsh-reality-of-a-mike-mcglinchey-in-a-micah-parsons-era
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    I'd doubt they'd get a 2nd, maybe 5th or 6th
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    Yea, Idk if I'd pit McGlinchy against Brown, I'd love to see them sign both

    poles: (2) 1st rds AND DJ Moore carolina:

    I thought pff graded him in to 80's overall, higher in run blocking. Regardless, McGlinchy isn't the top available rt in FA because a bunch of SF fans think he sucks He doesn't I mean, if you're going to cite PFF grades, they have a *very* low opinion of his pass-blocking. 80s run blocking, 60s pass blocking, 71 overall in 2022. Personally, I think PFF grades are RNGs that don't matter, but as people like to say, "you do you" i don't have a PFF membership, so I have to trust you on the 60s pass blocking. but I will say that at least it's not Larry Borom bad, his overall was in the 60's. McGlinchy would be an upgrade and likely cheaper than Brown. I think either tackle you would want to couple with a draft pick, likey in the 2nd rd
