You would NOT be excited to have a healthy Alex Smith on the Bears roster? Seriously? Smith was not that great before he was hurt and had a crazy serious injury at an old age for football. Same with Newton for that matter. Though Newton isn't old. I'd take Mariota or Foles over either. Not that they are setting world on fire. Pass.

Newton's an *******, so if you're adding that to the fragile Bears locker room in the near future, it's probably not a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Josiah Deguara to the list... Cincy TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked out Smith's contract numbers on Spotrac, so there's no way you guys release him with that much dead cap in 2020 right? I think if Washington are willing to trade him for a low draft pick then Nagy would love to have him in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we trade him, we’d have to eat $16mm of his signing bonus, which is a lot more bearable. I honestly think we might even give you guys a low round pick in a trade to get him off our books lol. I hope he’s healthy and we can make it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in the camp who would be all for it as well. I know he didn't look great in Washington but in his 2017 season with Nagy in KC he was brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read in one spot that the Redskins have injury insurance on the deal and might be able to move on with a lesser cap hit. https://overthecap.com/the-redskins-options-with-alex-smith/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Matt Miller, Bleacher Report Chicago Bears — The Bears don't own a first-rounder after trading for linebacker Khalil Mack in 2018 but do have two selections in the second round: picks No. 43 and 50 overall. Tight end, offensive line and cornerback were listed as the team's biggest needs from a scouting source with the club. Quarterback was not mentioned as a priority.

Epyon Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) I don't see how OLB isn't higher than corner. What is with this organization and their Leonard Floyd love? Our pass rush was a problem this year teams are realizing that all they have to do is take Mack away, with however many that takes to do. Edit also regarding qb... I have yet to see a QB I'd draft from this class beyond Burrow. None of the 2nd round range guys interest me at all unless Tua slips AND he gets thoroughly checked/cleared by good doctors (and in skeptical of the teams' abilities to do that properly, theyvve been missing on big ones lately from the roster and the draft) Edited January 3, 2020 by Epyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Pagano didn't really have Floyd rushing much, so who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
