topwop1 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good call. Gives them some time to see if they can perhaps hammer out a team friendly extension. Also protects the team if Floyd were to go out and have a dominant season in 2019. I don't see any other better options available. Good pass rushers are hard to find in the draft and don't hit FA often and when they do they cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we have limited resources in draft capital as well, so opening one more hole at a very important position is propbably one of the worst moves available. Get him signed, work on making a team friendly deal with more guaranteed so he gets more money up front and security in case of catastrophic injury, everyone can be content.

Madmike90 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think retaining Floyd is the right call...as Topwop1 says it is difficult to find quality pass rushers...I feel Fangio's scheme relied on pretty straight forward concepts when it came to rushing the passer which was just beat your man...Pagano will use more stunts and twists in his blitz package and that is perfect for the closing speed and agility that Floyd has...I feel he will get far more sacks and pressures this year.

WindyCity Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Financially it needs to be a placeholder for an extension sometime this offseason. Get hims signed long term for 9-10 million/season and spread the cap hit out using this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He's going to have a 10 TFL/12 sack season in 2019 and some random team like the Bills or Raiders will give him $20M a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he wont be a free agent until 2021 since they are picking up his 5th year option. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/leonard-floyd-18957/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This is a no brained to me. Floyd seems like a guy who should benefit from Pagano’s more exotic pressure packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomyyo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This is an exciting development; I don't think many of us would have been thrilled at the prospect of picking up Floyd's option after last season. While he's never going to be a huge sack guy coming straight off the edge, he has developed into a very nice player (especially opposite Mac), which is exactly what a 1st round pick should do.

You give him a 12.5M signing bonus so he has up to that much in new money plus lower yearly salaries for 2019/20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
