Those 495k UDFAs look even better then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malagabears Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 What's the gut feeling on a Cody Whitehair extension? The top 4 are averaging between 10.3-11M AAV on a range of 4-6 year deals. We have currently between 17.2-18M available CAP according to either Spotrac or Overthecap depending on which site you use. I think Cody falls into the top 10 where the AAV is between 8-9.5M. His PFF grade combined for run/pass blocking ranks at #10 for his position. If you ask me I would try a 4/36M with 19M guaranteed with 14M frontloaded in 2019. You could break it down as follows: Year 1: 2M salary 12M signing bonus (spread over 4 years) CAP hit - 5M Year 2: 4M salary Cap hit -7M Year 3: 3M salary ( 1M guaranteed) Cap hit - 4M Other bonuses TBD Year 4: 3M salary Cap hit - 3M Other bonuses TBD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have any PS eligibility left though, so he's either our 3rd QB or camp body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Bears sign former AAF kicker Elliott Fry to 3-year deal https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2019/04/12/chicago-bears-kicker-aaf-elliott-fry-south-carolina/ By: Alyssa Barbieri | 37 minutes ago The competition for the Chicago Bears’ starting kicker just added another suitor. The Bears on Friday announced the signing of AAF kicker Elliott Fry to a three-year deal. Dan DeYoung @DanDeYoung80 For those wondering, new Bears kicker Elliott Fry can hit a 43 yard field goal, unlike a certain former Bears kicker. #Bears :08 / 0:08 3:44 PM - 12 Apr 2019 Fry played four seasons at South Carolina, from 2013-2016, and most recently for the Orlando Apollos in the AAF, which recently suspended operations freeing up Fry to explore his options. Fry converted all 14 field goals he attempted with the Apollos, with his long coming from 44 yards out. During his time at South Carolina, Fry connected on 66-of-88 field goals (75 percent) and 161-of-162 extra points (99.4 percent.) He wound up leaving South Carolina as the program’s all-time leading scorer. The Bears recently worked out two other AAF kickers this week in Younghoe Koo & Nick Rose. They also brought in veteran Caleb Sturgis for a tryout. But none of them dazzled the Bears enough to warrant a contract. Bears GM Ryan Pace has made it clear that he’s open to adding more competition to a position that has snake-bitten the Bears since the release of Robbie Gould. “Right now we’re all just very open-minded,” Pace said last month. “We have two kickers on the roster now and we’re open to continue to add competition to the position. The keyword is competition at that spot and doing creative things to make them feel that pressure and that competition.” Fry is the third kicker that the Bears have signed this offseason to compete for the starting job, joining Chris Blewitt and Redford Jones on the roster. The Bears might not be done either as they head into the NFL draft with some attractive kickers up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
