    He’s a free agent. They could franchise him, which would make him no longer inexpensive, and still leave them with no long-term solution and thus likely still wanting to draft a qb. Otherwise he hits the open market and who knows? I was thinking he might get some 2/40-2/50 offers. Seems like a reasonable risk. 2/50 with 30 guaranteed, easy, if he hits market IMO.

Otherwise he hits the open market and who knows? Non exclusive franchise wouldn't be that expensive as a one year bridge deal.

    I know it's a long shot but I'm keeping an eye on the Houston scores. mineaswell dream big Houston's impossible to catch. With that tie, the Texans have to win 3 more times if the Bears lose out. They end with Jacksonville and the Colts, but have Browns (Watson revenge factor), Cowboys, Chiefs and Titans in the next 4. Actually I think they only need two more W if Bears lose out. That tie basically acts like a half win doesn't it?

    Draft positioning rooting interests Patriots over Bills Steelers over Falcons Ravens over Broncos Jaguars tie Lions (or Jags win) Texans over Browns Jets over Vikings Giants over Commanders Titans over Eagles Rams over Seahawks Dolphins over 49ers Chiefs over Bengals Raiders over Chargers Colts over Cowboys Saints over Buccaneers Packers @ Bears, no comment

    Met life is a hell hole

    Before this weekend I felt pretty confident they'd fall no further than 8th. Now I'd say 7th. If they lose out they'll do no worse than 3rd. With 4 wins I could see 5th. As low as 7th with 5 wins. Don't see them finding 3 more wins. But even at 6 wins I think it could all still work out

    Pretty surprising. Think 2024 is gonna be another QB year early so he's gonna struggle to get top 3 and likely would be top 10 as is.

    I guess it depends on where the Bears end up. If it is #2, and there is a big demand then sure, take all the 1sts you can get. But I feel like that needs to happen in conjunction with a good FA period, ie picking up maybe Jenkins (OT) and Payne as well as some other useful pieces, especially on O. I'm of the opinion that nothing in the draft should impact how they attack FA. They need to sign at least 6 Big-ish FA deals. At least 2 on each line and then another 2 at various spots. Then fill in with depth after that. Even after all of that, they'll have opportunities to upgrade at multiple spots at the draft. There wont be a position where I think you can say "there's not room" for a top flight prospect. But they'll be covered "enough" at every spot to be trying for WC/division in 2023 if they hit on those FA.

    Yea if we're talking unrealistic trade expectations we could go with the very recent 49ers Trey Lance trade. The best part of that one too is that it happened early on in draft process. Give Poles plenty of time to wheel and deal with extra picks in hand.
  10. WrigleyField 22
    Nope https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Williams_trade

    At this rate Lions may get that second pick all by themselves from the Rams pick. Rooting like hell for a Rams-Broncos tie when they play.

    Yea the Claypool trade always had some downside risk, but it's just the type of move you have to be willing to try. Unfortunate they ended up losing a series of close games. I'd love to see a 1st or 2nd round WR to pair with Mooney and Claypool. Particularly if they trade down to recoup picks. I think they can solve most of the D and OL issues in FA. Then trade down, get a WR, and 2/3 of DB, OL, DL within the first 60 picks. Be cooking.
  13. WrigleyField 22
    Yup. Lots of common games to rack up Ws among the tank contenders.
  14. WrigleyField 22
    Complicates any extension talks.
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Paying RB is of course dumb, but, Josh Jacobs...

    Raiders win. This has been A WEEKEND for the tank.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    Yea this is shaping up to be a great tank weekend.

    What a trash playing surface
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Heard Petermann didn't get a full night's rest either. Got to protect players form themselves. DM to play QB.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Trade down for extra picks. Draft best offensive player. Use extra picks next year to trade for additional stud player. FA is mostly OL and DL.
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Well done Ryan. (and Ted)
  22. WrigleyField 22
    And in any case if an injury to the franchise QB is the one area where we have a meddling ownership, within reason, I can live with that.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    I'll be generous and say this is a case where the GM is mandating it more or less but is gonna use the support of the president because he's at odds with the coach. Maybe it's the new president anyways though :wink:
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Refreshing news for Nathan Peterman because him being elevated will tell us that Fields is out.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    They'll bunker either way though right? Right, they're gonna play sufferball whether they need a draw or a 3 goal win. Like maybe they'll open up a little more in the final 15-20 minutes if they need a win, but their entire existence is based around burning the clock with a low block. I have no idea what that last part means lol :hello:
