WindyCity Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 The Bears won't pick up WR Kevin White's option for 2019, source says. Would've been for $13.9 million. So he's officially in his contract year. Bears CB Kyle Fuller was in a similar position last year and cashed in when he suddenly balled out. 1:15 PM - May 2, 2018 275 147 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Anyone else been waiting for this? Just like when KW probably gets cut next year, I'll be checking in furiously to see the Windy reaction. Windy, I hope this brings some small measure of peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51to54 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 This almost certainly means that not only will he not break something warming up before game two, but he'll lead the Bears in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I honestly don't know how this dude sees the field if everyone is healthy... Robinson should lead us in targets, Gabriel is going to be very active taking the top off the defense, Miller is going to own the slot if/when Gabriel isn't in there.

Madmike90 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 This should shock no one...hopefully White has a good and healthier year this year but no one is paying him that just now or probably even next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a 2nd round TE from last year and Burton is going to be used a LOT as a flex TE. White may be healthy for all 16 games, while being on the sideline.

Pool Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I don't get the hate. It's not like this kid has acted like some primadonna dbag. He just keeps getting hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's body just too fragile or unlucky for the NFL. Even many or most of us that HATED the pick don't hate the kid. Just the idea of drafting a raw one year of college production WR to a Bear's team coming off of two historically bad defense seasons was seen as a luxury pick to a team short several NFL level starters. When you've got a bottle of ketchup and two stale carrots in the fridge you don't go out and buy Grey Poupon mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the right decision was made. This is the first chance Pace has had to make any move showing us his position on White’s future without outright eating a fully guaranteed contract at a position at which we were already lacking in upside players. He has literally spent the past 2 months doing everything he can by signing Robinson, Gabriel and Burton and drafting Miller and Wims to make it clear that Kevin White will only be a part of the plan if he can dictate it on the field. I don’t understand why you feel the need to spike the ball on the kid here - he’s worked his *** off trying to be everything Pace envisioned when he took him in the top 10 in spite of several major injuries when a lesser player or person might have thrown in the towel, taken their $16.5M in guarantees and moved on to the next phase of their life. I have a ton of respect for Kevin White personally. We would be incredibly fortunate if every one of our players was as committed to maxing out their NFL potential as White. It’s said that true character shows itself in the face of adversity, and to me Kevin White has shown, repeatedly, to be a role model for others in how to carry themselves. I don’t know that he’s ever going to amount to anything in the NFL here or anywhere else, but I’m for damn sure going to be pulling for him. That’s a guy I want around the other guys on my team.

Like you, AZ, I'm pulling for him. Same. Ive already talked about the Kevin White lottery ticket. I hope the kid has a great year and gets a nice deal after showing he still has the skills that got him drafted. Ik for damn sure that Nagy's offense is the best fit hes seen in his entire career so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
