So we had 46M walking into today with another 5M likely coming once we get rid of Bennett. Just on a per year basis looks like we committed just short of 20M annually. Even with the draft pool, still have a lot of money. I'd imagine we'll be front loading these cap hits a bit though. I'd expect a DB and S in the 5-9m + range and a couple million on a swing interior lineman (whether it's bringing back Montgomery or someone else). Several near minimum vet signings to fill out roster holes, and then go into the draft still wanting a high pick at DL. Big question is if TE is a hole going into the draft. It will take easily the 5M we save on Bennett for even an average replacement. Eta - looks like our draft pool is a hair over 8M. So assuming straight cap hits on the signings today, about ~18M to spend. (23M without Bennett). Of course they won't go right up to the cap and there is a lot of flexibility in how to structure cap hits.

Ok sounds like definitely back to RG for Long, so that's good. Then there's this [tweet] [/tweet]
-
pretty sure meh is an improvement, especially with Long going back to guard With Bennet likely gone and a weak TE class in draft and FA I'm thinking we may see a lot more TE staying in to block.
-
He sounds a little meh, but I'm alright with it.
-
Some reports say this means Long back to G. Others, Long to LT.

[tweet] [/tweet]So I'm guessing all top 3 QBs go in top 10 now.
-
ok its 3:02...now we can panic?? Yep
-
4/72 sure sounds like a pretty big uh oh.
-
Lol twitter freaking out about the Bears apparently awful free agency. I mean we can wait at least another 15 minutes when it officially opens up right?
-
It was dew... If he's not around I would consider running it, if there is a desire. I feel like interest has gradually waned though.

Call the patent office. I want a quarter every time someone says it! I don't think your patent is gonna be approved.
-
I thought it could have been worse than that. Pending the structure, that seems fine.
-
Hicks, a DB, and a OL would be a nice start to FA.
-
Really dont want to actively cheer against Matt.
-
Heyward Bryant Rizzo Zobrist Schawrber Russell Montero Pitcher Fowler ? That gives our best hitters the most AB right?
-
Whoa. Where? Those crappy sites anyone can write for.
-
None of those look like anything but speculation.
-
Makes sense. We'll probably pay more than we think we should on Trevethan and a Bennett replacement. For as much money as we have, the FA market is gonna be a little nutty with lots of money and many top targets tagged.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-batting-order-versatile-spt-0308-20160307-story.html Does it really matter how we organize our order?
-
The Chip Kelly dismantling is not taking long.
-
Let's put it this way- the Smith situation is serious. If we had a fully healthy round one pick last year, Smiths situation would be just as serious.
-
The White situation doesn't even factor in, IMO. Smiths injury could easily enough to remove him completely from your board. Still a bit of time until the draft and positive medicals could change that, but even in round two or three he may not be worth the risk.
-
Isn't Monteros the only that matters?

pointlessly convoluted reallignment

I say boo to 8 divisions. 4 divisions. Two division winners and three wild cards with a play-in.
