I'm not shocked, he's been a very solid player for us. I would like to know if its a team friendly deal, regardless we still need competition at OT.

Massie signing without testing FA means there will be no contest this year...we could use depth behind Leno & Massie for competition but those two are without doubt the starters...

This deal gives you continuity which is always good and I trust HH but this deal all comes down to the contract.

Now I'm really wondering if that was an offer to Amos yesterday bc it looks like they are trying to get their loose ends tied up right now to be ahead of the game.

Always the best thing to do with guys you really want to keep...your depth guys can go test the market but getting your starters tied up early let you really focus in on your draft plans.

I don't think Massie is a bad player but I'm a little surprised by the 4-year extension. I'd think this means the team trusts Massie more than any other potential replacement options out there. Not a bad move but really interested to see the numbers.

This likely means that at least one of Amos, Callahan or Lynch won't be back. I'd guess Lynch.

I think people are underestimating how pace feels about availability. Massie and Amos from what I remember have not missed one game so far. I think he really values that. I could see Callahan walking because of that.

Big reason he never went all in of Alshon...Callahan could be the odd man out.

IDK how I feel about this yet, I'll know more when I see his deal. He has been average at best IMO, and we shouldn't do more than 2 years guaranteed, and I'm betting now that year 3 is where he can be cut with little dead cap if he declines. He made about $5.1 mil this season, I don't feel he should be making more than that.

 

Really I think I would be more of a fan if we ran a predominantly zone scheme, he doesn't seem to be able to drive anyone but is a plus athlete. Really that showed a lot for most of the season for our starters. It is just a poor fit.

Per Field Yates: Bears under contract through at least 2021: Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller, Roquan Smith, Akiem Hicks, Mitch Trubisky, Eddie Goldman, Bobby Massie, Charles Leno, Jr., Trey Burton, Kyle Long, James Daniels, Anthony Miller, Taylor Gabriel. Excellent nucleus.
