Wonder how our cap room looks for upcoming seasons now. I don’t think the cap hit will be bad. With a signing bonus like that, I imagine it’ll never exceed $15M. IIRC, Donald’s will be under $10M.

yomyyo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 How do the Bears have the cash to pay his salary? I believe that Brad Biggs mentioned that the team was already in the top 5 for cash outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack is the new highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. We should now be allowed to beat the living hell out of any Bears fan who references the "stupid cheap McCaskeys."

If that 60 mill at signing is strictly a signing bonus, that alone is 12 mil against the cap for five years. Going to be hard to stay under 15 with that, though I doubt all 60 is a SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Brad Biggs mentioned that the team was already in the top 5 for cash outlay. Because they are the NFL franchise of the 3rd largest TV market in the country. Have a massive national fanbase bc they were the charter franchise, and have a massive international fanbase bc they were extremely popular in the 80s when American football was growing in popularity abroad exponentially (as I'm sure mm90 can give you more info about). Halas was said to throw around Penny's like manhole covers, but the McCaskeys dont have those concerns as they own a franchise worth almost $3B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51to54 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Pace stepped up and went big. Won't fault that. Got some nice picks back from the Raiders and kept ours. Not paying any unproven first rounders for the next few years. The baseline to me is this....... Mack, Smith, and Floyd. We talking elite trio which other teams will not be seeing their likes during the course of the season, except when they play the Bears. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskieBear Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 one of my favorite things to do today was look at different forums (news, GB, OAK) starting around this morning when news broke and everyone heard a different rumor (2 1s, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a player!) and how everyone was saying they would never pay that much for a potential HOF pass rusher (my favorite that i saw was 2 1s, a 2nd, AND Roquan) then as we got closer and closer to the afternoon, culminating in Schefter tweeting the terms of the deal. the amount of posters that went from "we're getting all this so its worth it" to "wait, what?" and also "there's no way i would trade that much, glad my team didn't do that" to "why didn't my GM make that deal!" also, the analysis from other fan bases saying the bears still wont be good because all they have is MT10 and KM52, and KM52 and DC4 didn't do anything for the raiders, while completely failing to mention the other 51 players on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spent most of my (wasted) internet time on a different forum, without those restrictions, I came to use the like button in lieu of making a basically unnecessary post saying, "I agree with you, buddy!" Seems stupid to do things in a different manner than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
