As far as guys whose contracts were up and haven't been signed I'm not sure. I think we almost need to add 1-2 guys at S. List of available RB's is puke-worthy. I couldn’t disagree more. We are surely looking to add a RB2. All of the following guys are all super qualified for that, and the first 4 would be adequate or better starters if Montgomery were to get hurt: Devonta Freeman Lamar Miller Lesean McCoy Carlos Hyde Frank Gore Bilal Powell Theo Riddick Spencer Ware 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure one of the Reid disciples could probably give us what we’re looking for. Not crazy about Riddick. Telegraphing pass when he’s on the field. Never a threat to run. I know we are going the Reid offense, ZBS route at RB. But I wish Nagy/Pace would take a look around the league and see how some of these teams are manufacturing offense with the run ESPECIALLY because we are in flux at QB.

Always been a fan of Bilal Powell as a #2 RB as well. I think we had a roster of about 67 players before the draft? So on about 82 now with all the UDFAs, plenty of spots to add some vets now - RB, ILB, OG, S are all positions I'd like to see them bring in competition at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set the floor kind of signing as far as backups go IMO, which is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ_11 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) So with Jenkins we're up to 87 players. With those last three spots I'd ideally like to add another guard (Josh Kline is still out there), an ILB and an RB. I really do think the Bears believe they're set on the OL though so if I can't have that then a vet safety would also be awesome, Tony Jefferson and Eric Reid still available - though I think injury concerns are why Jefferson hasn't been signed yet.

I think a SS signing is a relative given at some point. Bush resigning for 1/$1.4M certainly suggests they’re not committed to him in any meaningful way as a starter, and when given the opportunity to let him compete for the job last year after getting a taste of him in regular action after the Eddie Jackson injury late I’m 2018 they instead chose to sign a plug-and-play stop gap to slot in ahead of him. I can’t imagine after not drafting a safety at all that that doesn’t happen again. If they can get value it would be mice to see them sign someone to a multi-year deal for the sake of continuity, but I’m not sure who’s out there right now who’d be worthy and who would actually sign a multi-year deal. I’d love for that with Jefferson but he’s probably looking to prove he’s healthy on a 1-year deal to get back to the pay range he was in before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Wonder how you can evaluate someone like Jefferson without getting them into the building for a medical exam. His knee was pretty messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think they should give Bush a real run at job. I think he has improved greatly. They obviously are meh on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBears019 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Andy Dalton officially a free agent. Guess either no one wanted to trade for him or he wasn’t willing to renegotiate his $17m salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
