They have to sign more than one player in FA. If it was just one and we are done then yeah, fine, let's resign one. Fact is they have to sign a bunch of guys and keep next two years in mind. Most will be very cheap, but numbers still count and add up. Signing either Callahan or Amos without restructuring contracts makes for a salary cap nightmare. Bush can fill Amos shoes and Callahan leaves a potential hole, but is too slight to hold up through a whole NFL season. So why pay either one? Ideally we get them both back, but that isn't how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagabears Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Bears to release Sims. That was pretty much a no-brainer & guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it won't eventually happen, but they may sit on this one for awhile and marinate on it. Acho is probably next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hope has to be this means that money is being saved to sign up Amos or Callahan before they hit FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Sims was one of the worst cap screw ups of Ryan Pace.He sucked in year 1, yet they paid him a 6 million option to stick around last year and be even worse. That 6 million could have gone to the Mack extension or Goldman, or just rolled forward into this season giving the Bears 6 million more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 6 million could have gone to the Mack extension or Goldman, or just rolled forward into this season giving the Bears 6 million more. Agreed. Nobody here wanted him back in 2018 much less 2019. I think extending Long to $40 million with 2 years left on his rookie contract and dealing with serious injuries was probably worst one. I said it at time, so it isn't hindsight for me. If he can somehow stay healthy and play at a pro bowl level for 16 games and playoffs in 2019 I'll say I was wrong. They should have traded him in 2016 not extended him. Chicago teams never sell high. Never. Something in the water. Parkey obviously was a huge mistake. Acho contract is bad. He's had a lot of free agent misses, but most of them were short term deals or without guaranteed money so they didn't really hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll see if there able to get something done. He talked about joining the Broncos too. Back and forth means they talked. That’s it. That’s not even news.

They should have traded him in 2016 not extended him. Chicago teams never sell high. Never. Something in the water. The Long extension was signed 9/4/2016. At that point Long had been on the team 3 years and had played in and started 47 of a possible 48 games, and was coming off his 3rd Pro Bowl birth in as many seasons. He didn’t have any serious injuries until the torn labrum and then the nasty ankle break he suffered 2 months after he signed the extension. He was arguably the best player on our roster when he signed the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
