DBs: You have two pro bowlers in Fuller and Jackson. You have a solid player in Prince. I think Bush can step into Amos role nicely, they had him fill in for Jackson last year which is a much harder role to fill and he still did okay. You have a top young talent in Tolliver who likely takes another step this year. Ask yourself this; if Tolliver were in 2019 draft this year after playing 2018 at LSU where does he go? It's kinda like we already drafted a first or second round corner last year. How we lucked into that I don't know. You have a serviceable veteran in McMannis as depth. I think the starters will be okay factoring in Bears front 7 pass rush. Not perfect, but better than most teams have. Depth is problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Put James Daniels, Roquan Smith and Tolliver, all youngsters, in this years draft and think about where they would go and where they would rank at their positions. Bears are in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Honestly, if that is the NB market for a guy who isn't even a free agent and who the market cannot even effect then I think the Bears may have a better chance of keeping Amos.

I agree. But I think that was always the case. S's are not as valued as corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is and I don't see another possibility on the current roster with even close to Callahan's talent and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be why we're hearing from Amos that they told him they'd like him back and they working with his agent but we haven't heard the same about Callahan so far. I could see Pace stretching to $30 mil plus on a 4 year deal for Amos but not for Callahan. He may have decided to go all out and as high as he can go that way and use McManis and the younger guys we have plus a draftee compete for Callahan's spot. Though I can't help but feeling is Amos does sign now it's because he's willing to leave some money on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOGRIESE Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 You can't just insert Tolliver who's been on the outside as far as I know since he's been here and probably in college at nickel. Notice how he wasn't playing there when Bryce when down? It's pretty much an isolated position. You can't just slide players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we are in the group of teams that can get good players on a deep discount looking to contend for a title in July because of our core roster, and because of that we are much better prepared to not overpay to keep guys who are good-not-great on top value contracts. Amos falls in that category for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGRIESE Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Honestly I have no interest in paying Amos. I think his play style can be replicated easily. I really want to keep our cornerback/nickleback unit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
