We're all just waiting to see who "Mystery Player" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, it will be one of the Bears two veteran ILB's, either Danny Trevathan or Nick Kwiatkoski. My guess is that it'll be DT, though thats my preference personally considering he's slightly injury prone, though a better player than Kwiat. DT's skillset will be replaced by Roquan smith, though, so it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriotsheatyan Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hopefully it is two firsts, a second, and the player is Floyd to reverse the outrage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a few splashy free agent signings and (now) a big trade acquisition for a great player.....more often than not the splashy offseasons don't work. You are looking at it from such a narrow perspective. You are ignoring the new coaching staff/offensive system, and growth of their existing roster. Last year the offense was a turd because the playcalling from Loggains was complete garbage and everyone was hurt. There is plenty of room for growth. It'd be a mistake to write them off just because of last years record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILB is one of them, before Roquon smith was drafted, everyone was fine with running DT and Kwiatkowski at ILB, because Kwiat has grown as a player and DT is a very strong player. Their CB's are not very deep, and neither are safeties, though I've heard Adrian Amos' name tossed around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the theory was that we were just going to move some outside and try it out. But we have 4 ILB's who are all NFL quality. Plus like 2 more who we were going to try to stash.

It wouldn't make sense for the Bears to offer Floyd, obviously Mack is a big upgrade, but then we are still in the position of only having one useful passrusher on the team.

Soko Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 More than I would’ve wanted to pony up, but good for both sides. I don’t blame the Raiders for not wanting to pony up that much money in the face of a potential re-build. Most of us (and Gruden) recognize the Raiders need more talent, and as much as Mack is a great talent himself, having 2 more firsts and that +$20M will cover more holes than Mack on his own. If he were on my team, I’d want him paid and would be mad if he were traded. But I see the reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
