Ty21 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Awesome. If he ends up getting good, we got a good kicker for nothing. If he's bad, it didn't cost anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Has to he one of worst draft picks in history. Still saying on radio "Bears mortgaged future for Trubisky". Bucs gave up a 3 and 4 for a kicker they just released after 1 pre season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkokot Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 First post on the new site! I was just going to say that I think we should pick him up and see if a change of scenery might do him some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Love it. We need competition there and maybe the staff can straighten him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mar29020 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 does he cost a late pic a since he was claimed off waivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I don't think he costs us anything other than us picking up his rookie contract (has some guaranteed money in there, but has offsets as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymousGM Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I wonder if he had offers from other teams and straight up choose the Bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that we were the 3rd worst team last year, that just means that the Browns and Niners were not interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that we were the 3rd worst team last year, that just means that the Browns and Niners were not interested in him. Sorry, I've got to brush up on my contract knowledge lol Quote Once the waiver period starts each year through the trading deadline, a vested veteran — a player who has acquired four years of pension credit — is not subject to the waiver system if the club decides to release him. That means if a team decides to release a vested veteran, the league considers his contract to be terminated immediately and he is free to negotiate and sign with any other club. On a side note, I think it's hilarious how Barth and O'Donnell are so open about Pat's free agency next year! 4 years 18 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I wonder what this kid has to do in order to keep the job... kind of seems like an odd move to make since we picked up his contract, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
