Which is why my prediction is that Pace moves up to around 12 to get a QB, unless he makes a big splash before the draft. I'm hoping on this more so than relying on the draft While I do like quite a few prospects in this years QB class I just think based on where the team is and how little patience Bears fans have for another QB project... they need to go for the big swing and get that surefire HOF caliber QB like Wilson or Watson This is an unprecedented time where 2 high quality QBs are available/want out of their current organizations and their respective teams are now willing to listen to trade offers I think it's a no brainer at this point in time. You won't get many opportunities like this if ever again. Just do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read my list of the top NFL QBs today and their traits? Nobody is saying to ignore anything, mind you, but that list demonstrates your odds are better with athleticism and arm talent.

They're (Seahawks) taking offers on him and he has a no trade clause and specifically listed 4 teams he'd want to go to. Bears, Raiders, Cowboys and Saints. Saints don't have the cap space to trade for him and can only offer less than Bears in terms of current year draft assets Raiders GM Mike Mayock went out on record the other day saying him and Gruden love Carr and essentially gave him a vote of confidence that he'd be their QB going forward And Cowboys are said to be close to a deal with Dak with Jerry Jones also saying on record that there's no way he isn't back with Cowboys You now better believe Bears have a chance Edited March 5, 2021 by topwop1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGRIESE Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Bears have a chance because they are on the list. Compensation is not the issue. It's where he decides to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is noteworthy because Seahawks would potentially accept less than a normal haul for a QB like Russ considering he can force their hand with the no-trade clause. Let's just say out of those 4 teams Bears and Saints are the only interested parties then that helps Bears chance of not only getting him but also paying less than they would have if it was a free for all bidding process.

topwop1 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That being said I still expect Wilson to cost at the very least two 1st round picks + mid round pick(s) and a player or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Mayock may have been bonafide...or it may have been posturing, to try and establish he was going hardline in any potential negotiations with the Seahawks. If Seahawks ownership (still Paul Allen?) was smart, they'd just fire Pete Carroll, and ask Wilson for input on the next coach. We'll see what happens. 44 minutes ago, topwop1 said: That being said I still expect Wilson to cost at the very least two 1st round picks + mid round pick(s) and a player or two.

malagabears Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Good Palehose source. Tweet from @portilloshambu1 ”Very rarely receive NFL insight but was told by multiple sources the Bears and Seahawks are “really ******** deep” in talks regarding Russell Wilson No secret he would go to Chicago but it sounds like things are accelerating. Hope the train crosses the finish line and not falloff” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
