Maxx Williams from Baltimore is another guy who may need a change of scenery. He was a top prospect in that draft and just never got it consistently going in Baltimore.

He would probably play for a discount, but not a giant one. Bears either pay him substantially what he would get elsewhere, which I highly doubt given cap situation (see @WindyCity), or he doesn't come. Bears are going cheap at kicker and hoping to get lucky. We sure didn't go cheap on Parkey. I think Robbie might be induced by $9 mil guaranteed as well. Chicago isn't a cheap town to live in until you compare it to SF. Then it's a bargain.

He's broken. Besides, I think we need back up for Shaheen more than Burton. Shaheen hasn't shown ability to stay on the field and Y is a necessary position. Burton role is more a big receiver hoping you can get a mismatch in base, its nice but you can live without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking cap as well and to be honest I'd be in favor of subtracting or restructuring elsewhere in exchange for a guy who consistently makes 90% or more of his kicks. That was mostly my point. PK deals top out at around $4 mil and change apy with a pretty broad range of guaranteed $$$. At $9 mil gtd Parkey got a super deal and we got hosed. Who would you rather give $4 mil to, Gould or a backup or rotational ____________ whatever? In 2019 we attempted 30 FGs and 45 PATs That's 135 possible points on the board and Robbie's accuracy has been 94% since we released him. That's 127 points so if we can get him back for around $4-$4.5 mil a year or so if I'm Pace I'd find the money somewhere. I really would, but that's me.

He has undoubted injury concerns yes but that's why you could get him on vet min and not $10 million a year...finding someone to back up Shaheen as an inline predominantly blocking TE is easy...those guys are a dime a dozen...finding a match up problem at TE is always more difficult.

We already have a blocking TE in Sowell, we can keep him for cheap. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can or has played every OL position and he proved he was athletic enough to even surprise as a receiver. $1.5 mil salary with a $1.8 mil cap hit for a utility guy like him isn' bad. We could also bring Braunecker back on a vet minimum if he doesn't sign elsewhere. I'm not as down on Shaheen as some appear to be. He's got some tools to work with. I think he just needs coaching and more game experience. Maybe we can find another inline Y type late in the draft or an UDFA but I'm not much in favor of spending much on backups for Burton and Shaheen now.

dll2000 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I think we need to wait until end of training camp to judge Shaheen. He looked good in camp last year. He didn't look great when he came back, but that could be for obvious reasons. Bears were basing their primary offense around combo of him and Burton running RPOs, with emphasis on run and short controlled passes up until his injury. I think it illustrates that Bears need depth behind Shaheen. A big body that can block and catch. Sims wasn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also the one who said I'd gamble with La'el Collins in the 7th rounder. I like to take a Christian approach, ask for forgiveness, not permission.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Do teams normally wait until the deadline before tagging players? Would stink to miss out of other options to wait for Gould and then he gets tagged, assuming Bears want him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
