Nope, looking for Gervon Dexter. Many weeks of his career I’ve found myself looking for him. Alas, he was nowhere to be found.
-
Mostly agree, but it’s frustrating that we’re heading into year 4 of Poles and every FA period and draft that passes without improvement on the DLine end every time it’s just “welp whaddya gonna do? FAs are expensive. The draft board didn’t fall our way.” At a certain point you gotta just find a way to fix it.
-
He’s not a disruptive player. He doesn’t draw doubles, disappears for multiple game stretches every year. Slow reaction time. Fine piece to have on the team, but not a top end player.
-
Every year people clamor to trade down, but the Bears need quality, not quantity. They are still low on top tier talent. I don’t need to see more Shemar Turners and Gervon Dexters. Also, Poles’ track record outside of the first round is pretty poor. Keep the first rounder and grab the best non QB / TE / Wr available.
-
Why?
-
I like the Bush and Bryant signings. You can’t fill every hole via free agency. But it sucks that we’re worse at center and LT and haven’t improved the pass rush.
-
I’ve never been a big Braxton Jones guy so I’m bringing my own biases, but even pre-injury he got blown up enough that I considered him safely below average. I was open to him as a stopgap before we went with the below average stopgap in Bradbury. Now we’re one injury to our three worthwhile linemen away from a pretty dire situation.
-
Pipped by Benedet who was then Pipped by Trapilo? The rare double Pipp!
-
Our solution at LT is the guy that got benched for poor performance last year? Cool.
-
Yeah I don’t think the falcons did anything devious here. Cunningham got a title promotion, presumably a raise, and is said to be the lead decision maker for the falcons. Why this doesn’t result in comp picks for the bears is beyond me, but not sure I buy the Falcons were angling to screw the Bears.
-
Such a load of crap.
-
Did you fall for another fake account? I don’t see this anywhere.
-
Makes sense, but Bradbury makes swing IOL money and isn’t very good. I’m still hoping the Bears draft a C and the plan is for Bradbury to keep the seat warm for the first portion of the season.
-
I don’t know how this pertains to what I posted. They had a center on a cheap deal that started every game of the season. They decided they’d rather have a future 5th than roll with him for another season. That says a lot, regardless of what their LG and LT did.
-
What’s the best resource for individual lineman stats? Is there one? I see things posted all the time about this lineman or that giving up no sacks and I have no idea how to contextualize that. Like, obviously giving up zero sacks in the regular season is a good thing, but what’s a good benchmark for a center? 3? 4? No idea. The top lines in football last year allowed 25-35 sacks. If you figure a disproportionate number of sacks come from the edge, you gotta figure sacks given up by centers is typically pretty low to the point of even zero having the potential to be noisy.
-
I’m going to trust there was a reason the afc champs were willing to give up their starting center with a $3.7 million cap hit for a future 5th.
-
Crosby to Baltimore

100%. My pet coping mechanism is Poles relies heavily on his coaches for personnel decisions and we’re in better hands with Ben Johnson than Flus. But then I remember Dayo and Jarrett and it all falls apart.
-
Yeah he made minimal impact his first two years here and had a decent bounce back last year, but he’s replaceable.
-
I mean, Edmunds and Edwards missed that game against the Steelers and the two scrap heap guys that filled in for them combined for 29 tackles. They can get younger and faster there at a fraction of the cost and better allocate that money elsewhere. This was one of the most obvious cut candidates ever IMO.
-
They have a path to $100 million in cap space and 4 top 100 draft picks to address those needs. They’re going to be fine.
-
What am I missing? I read after yesterdays moves they now have the 12th most cap space. WF22 outlines a path to open up as much as $45 million in additional space with minimal risk (top two categories from his post).
-
I think you’ve posted it before, but who are the obvious restructure candidates and how much could the bears reasonably open up in cap space?

DJ Moore to the Bills
