beardown3231 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 RT @MikeGarafolo: #Bears are signing former #Jets CB Buster Skrine, sources tell me and @PSchrags. Surely means Bryce Callahan is gone from Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZBearsFan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nagy called him maybe the best NB in the league back in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Bears pass rush will likely help him out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not a signing that thrills me much. I'm gonna call this a downgrade. Guess all talk with Callahan is over now and Pace felt he needed to make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like I don't think he's as good but at least he's been more reliable as far as injuries go and less risky than a raw rookie. Just never been a huge fan but for what we're paying in comparison to what I see going on he offers decent value. Apparently Callahan expects much more.

Sugashane Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not a big drop off, and I'll take Skrine all season over Callahan starting the season and McManis finishing it each year. Passrush should help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampantjet Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Jet fan here. Skrine will have some good games and maybe even string a few together, but when he has a bad game he has a flat out stinker. He has the ability to just lose you a game single handedly. Outside of those games where he goes nuclear he is decent, and actually a decent blitzer. Just for context Jets fans are happy to see him go, but in todays market you guys didn't pay him a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, between Skrine and McManis we have vet depth at NB and we won't be overspending on Callahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback and your insight which more or less fits with my opinion of Skrine. You get what you can afford but no one is ever glad their team signed someone from a team whose fans were happy to see him go. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sounds like Callahan has 6 teams bidding him up so this was, in my opinion, option 2 for Pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
