Happy Brown didn't end up in GB. GB fans didn't want him, but he could have made a difference there. A 3 and a 5? They should have done it. They think they are going to draft perfect. Long shot that is going to happen. I think a small part of it is they didn't want that win now pressure that big name acquisitions bring. What are they doing though? They are acting like Rodgers won't decline at all and will take Brady and Brees longevity road and they can keep building for 2 - 3 years from now. Whatever. Glad they are doing it.

First off, that's a ton of money for Jackson. He had some good moments in Jacksonville but certainly wasn't the player he was in Denver. Also, who in the world would want to go spend their fall and winter in Green Bay? Freezing cold, tons of snow, nothing to do, and the team is regressing. Unless they overpay for FA's, it's not easy for them to attract major players. It's been this way for awhile. 35 minutes ago, GOGRIESE said: Yes please and thank you I disagree. I know Amos isn't great, but imo it's easier to find a good nickel than a good SS, especially with how unlucky the Bears have been at S for years. Amos is much more durable, too.

Madmike90 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Quote Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago Source: The #Vikings are not exercising the option on starting S Andrew Sendejo, making him a free agent. Another talented safety in the mix before free agency. Struggling to see why team would pay safeties big money at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much disagree with this statement. It is way harder to play the nickel than strong safety and the nickel position has grown in importance the past few years with how NFL passing offense have evolved. IMO Callahan is a more important part of this Bears D than Amos is, it's just he hasn't been as durable over their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It seems like a lot of people are naming potential RB acquistions that are good at catching swing passes, screens and wheel routes. That isn't a receiving threat in terms of what they are looking for, that's just a regular RB. Almost anybody or any NFL RB can do that to some extent. Howard isn't awful at that, he just isn't good at it. Maybe he is relatively awful at it, but he is still a threat to flare out of backfield. That threat doesn't effect defense at all. That is still basically a run play. A receiving threat is a guy like Cohen, Kamara, Barkley, M. Faulk, White, etc. A guy you can line up at WR and force defense to match up with him if you decide to leave him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way the NFL is right now Callahan is much much more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Tom Pelissero thinks we have interest in Cordarrelle Patterson...no one can question the speed and the special teams ability but he would be limited as a receiver as he always has been.

WindyCity Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Daniel Greenberg @ChiSportUpdatesOn NFL Network, @TomPelissero mentioned the Chicago Bears as a potential landing spot for Cordarrelle Patterson.10:35 AM - 11 Mar 2019 I would love that. Kick return, offensive gimmick stuff, and adds a ton of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
