You really think these guys have any sense of money? Trent Richardson had 4 houses. It doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I think easily the most underrated need for the Bears is a DE. Nichols did nothing last year after a promising rookie year and when Hicks went down, his importance became apparent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRH is just a dude, Nichols was non-existent last year and Williams could leave. It's more bare than people realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hear or see Floyd with the flashy car or jewelry so yeah kinda. I'm just saying when you get a nice raise you make a big purchase in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Nichols was playing with a broken hand for most of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 RRH is also more than “just a guy”. He is a starter on many teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough for a DL but those things are usually good to go in 8 weeks tops, and considering he missed a month to nurse it, there's no reason he should've been MIA for virtually the entire season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still playing good football. A broken hand screws DLmen, even once the cast comes off you have lost half your grip power and muscle.

He didn't step up in Hicks' absence like I thought he would. He didn't make a step going into his second year like we all thought he would. I wouldn't be opposed to spending a 4 or 5 on a DE is all I'm saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I agree Ebron has talent, but I feel like he just wouldn’t work out here. If everything was going perfect for him he would be great, but first sign of adversity that guy seems like he is checking out. I worry about over paying for a Hooper who isn’t really special. Bears are in a pickle. They have fix both OL and TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason I’m open to trading a pick or maybe picks for OJ Howard or Njoku - they’re real players both well under the FA price tag for players of their caliber the next 2 seasons.

I'm down. I was against trading away a 2nd earlier for either one of those two guys but come to think about it they are more talented than any TE prospect in this upcoming class and are still cost controlled for the next season. Not sure if their 5th year options have been exercised, but either way it is worth a gamble I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
