Bearsfancro Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hunt Uzomah Suggs Retain Amos and Callahan.. I think it should be doable with our cap space... Sign several vets for depth Draft OL, CB, OLB, RB, WR Undrafted: K, P... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Reed in Wash may get cut. He hasnt been able to stay healthy, team may be tanking for QB and his guarantee ended in 2018. After/if getting cut he may sign a one year cheapish prove it deal on a contending team looking for a bigger payout in 2020 showing he can stay healthy. I like that gamble more than Eifert gamble. Eifert has a bad back. Once your back is bad nothing works right ever again. Worst injury you can have. Not sure if I am in favor of this. Or if its affordable. Just a thought.

Would stink to miss out of other options to wait for Gould and then he gets tagged, assuming Bears want him back The tag deadline is in February, FA doesnt start until March 1, no risk of losing out anybody bc of waiting for tags.

WindyCity Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hub Arkush From The Score [Bernstien and McKnight] Quote “THERE’S A GROWING SENSE THAT THE BEARS WILL BE BIG-TIME PLAYERS IN THE SAFETY MARKET IF AMOS’ ASKING PRICE DOESN’T COME DOWN… …THE FEELING IS WHY PAY AMOS TOP SAFETY MONEY WHEN THEY COULD PAY A FEW MILLION MORE PER YEAR FOR A TOP-END SAFETY.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 I would not be surprised if they let Amos walk if his demands are in the 10/year range. I would be surprised if they sign a big name safety. The one that Hub mentions specifically is Tyrann Mathieu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give Bears 2 back end playmakers and if he could stay healthy through out season a possible historic defense. Mathieu is also a prolific blitzer. A healthy Earl Thomas at top of his game would be same, better even coverage wise. But who knows with that guy and who knows with his injury. It would be a huge go for it in 2019 gamble as it would really mess with your cap. Not sure Mathieu is willing to sign a one year deal again. I would say probably not. Same with Thomas, though he may not have a choice given his age and injury. I don't listen to him much, but Hub seems to me wrong as much or more than he is right. Not saying he isn't a knowledgable guy, but he says a lot of speculative stuff with absolute confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's another guy whose had some injury issues in his past but seems to have overcome them. Mathieu got $7 mil on a one year deal from Houston and I don't know that I see him getting a whole lot more than that on a longer term deal.

Also worth pointing out that this is a crowded SS free agency, and the Bears are likely a VERY attractive landing spot for any "ring chasers".... both factors could drive down costs a bit on grabbing a guy like Collins, or even just resigning Amos.

Mathieu is my top defensive FA target right now over Amos and Callahan, largely because he can play both safety and slot at a high level. Adding Mathieu allows us to essentially replace the strengths in Amos’ and Callahan’s games with one FA which gives us more flexibility in the draft in terms of finding the best DB to add in the middle rounds rather than needing a specific skill set. Also, replacing 2 starters with 1 FA further opens up the possibility of a 2020 comp pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Mathieu tweeted the other day, something to the effect of "bet on myself and it paid off, stay tuned" so odds are he's referring to an imminent longer term deal in Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
