The_Romen Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yup. I'm done with the Bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman52 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) You are telling me they could get no trade value out of this? Will this count toward compensatory pick for next year, when he signs else where? Edited March 18, 2021 by Hitman52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 What a bummer. Dude was always one of my favorite bears and was well worth his draft position (even though I wanted Aaron Donald and Haha Clinton Dix lol). Dude still has a lot to offer. Not a fan of having to cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxguy7 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't know how you don't get at least something back for him. I mean, the Raiders got a third round pick for a center who will be 32 years old this year. We could get nothing for a 29 year old all-pro corner? Fire Pace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong though. Correct. No comp pick. So Fuller is cut as a cap casualty to make room for Dalton's $10m and Jimmy Graham's $10m 2021 cap number. Outstanding work. Do the McCaskey's even care what is happening to their franchise? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm starting to think Pace and maybe even Nagy have a lot more job security than we believe, because these last few days have left me awfully confused on the direction of the team. Sign Dalton to perhaps sneak back into January but then cut your best corner Hicks is next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbear72 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I wonder if we are looking at a total rebuild brewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft picks. Crazy that we got none for a 29 year old all-pro corner who has only, at worst, justified he is worth the money, and at best, improved significantly, from when a divisional rival wanted to sign him to a contract. League shows interest in a player? Cut him for nothing a couple years later after he has played well. #ThanksRyan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just roll with Foles and a rookie and wait to see if Minshew/Darnold shake loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two sides to signing Dalton. 1) It's bad if you are planning to rebuild because if you are rebuilding it doesn't matter if you have a competent QB, in fact it is better if you don't. 2) If you are planning a short-term rebuild, a competent QB probably helps keep your OL and skill position players happy so they don't just leave when their contracts run out. Others could probably offer better insight to both sides. I'm drinking craft beer tonight and the brain isn't all here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However--I'm far from a Pace apologist, so that observation is sort of a blip. Pace should have been able to get SOME sort of draft pick compensation for Fuller. My guess is that he didn't really get creative in his dealings with other teams. Edited March 19, 2021 by Heinz D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Ummm...what? I knew Fuller being gone was a strong possibility this offseason but I'm surprised there was no trade interest. This is a strange move because he is still a very good player. This tells me they are either very confident in their current CBs i.e. JJ, Vildor, Shelley, Roberson etc. or they will be targeting a CB high again in this year's draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
