Bears can do it now. Mullens is an exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) meaning that if the 49ers tender him, which they will since it's a 1-year non guaranteed salary at the veteran minimum, then there's no chance he can sign with any other team. If Bears want Mullens they'd have to either trade for his rights or wait until he becomes a UFA the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERFA, which I didn't know, is basically he gets a 1 year raise but stays with team if they want him. Kind of a crap deal for player. I guess if you want Mullens you would have to trade for him. You can just have Lauletta now though. You just have to claim and roster him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but its doubtful they put a 2nd round tender on a back up QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a guy like Jake Fromm over him. Stanley won't last until the fifth. Not even close. And you should watch them both play before stating such a clear preference for Fromm. Stanley has clearly displayed a knack for high difficulty passes far beyond Fromm. (Although I'm not saying Fromm is bad.) 1 hour ago, big_palooka said: Najee Harris in round 5?

Keenum should ABSOLUTELY not be an option for the Bears, for example. Edited November 22, 2019 by Heinz D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare yourself. Unless they want to invest serious money that is what you can afford for competition for Mitch. If they still have faith in Mitch, which they probably do, are they really going to invest 17-20 million in another QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I totally get that you're basing this all on them giving Mitch another chance, and this isn't really the path you would choose if you were calling the shots. And right now, that's probably the most thought provoking/conversation starting way to go about looking at the issues. I simply don't know that they truly have faith in Mitch anymore. They may still have hope--they'd like him to succeed. But, whether Pace should ultimately be fired in the near future or not, I'd think that he'd realize that he needs another viable option at QB. I don't think Keenum represents that. I'd take Keenum over Daniel as a backup, but that's only if there was a solid #1 guy in the mix. Edited November 23, 2019 by Heinz D.

I think a lot of the haze around what Pace/Nagy think about Trubisky will be addressed not only by his play the remaining 6 games of this season but in the postmortem presser they will give us at the end of the season. I think it's not only in their best interest, but our franchise's best interest as well for them to allocate resources to protect the QB/improve the running game (OL) and add threats to the offense to take pressure off the QB (TE/WR improvement). I think we'll see our money and draft resources go there. In terms of backup QB... I think Mariota / Tannehill make a lot of sense but it will boil down to $$$. Truthfully, if Mitch hasn't proven himself by the end of 2020, we'll have a high draft pick in 2021 and it will be a QB so I almost think you just ride-or-die with the kid unless you think one of these younger FA QBs could be your franchise. Such a ******* mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
