WindyCity Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Mocked him a ton. He is exactly what we need. He is a horse against the run and can play rotational NT snaps right away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The Bears cleaned up on value in this draft. The Bears DL is going through change. Hicks is likely gone next year, Nichols is a free agent that they should re-sign, Goldman likely needs to play more sub snaps when Hicks goes. Tonga can play the short yardage, base, heavy run down snaps and allow others to stay fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a horse against the run and can play rotational NT snaps right away Since his main talent is taking up space and controlling blockers in a two gap front his best traits are his size and his build. It was about time we found some relief for Eddie Goldman besides recycling John Jenkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we lose Hicks......like basically all the QB money is gone next year with everybody on the roster outside of Robinson and Mack being cheap.

MonserinNC Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Like this pick up just because opting out of a year has me kind of side eyeing Goldman ....Nicholas boss'd up but I don't want him doing that regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they'll bring back Hicks after this season when he's 32? His contract ends when this season ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 This late picking up a solid run stuffer is never a bad thing...that said I think we are still short on depth on the DL as well as ILB and Safety...hopefully Pace is working the phones to try and trade some surplus offensive talent in order to build that depth up...after June 1st cuts I expect we bring in 3-5 vets to help on the defensive side of the ball even as role players or depth.

I don’t think we have room for a DLmen Nichols, Edwards Goldman, Tonga Hicks, Blackson We only ever carry 6 and 5 active on game day. We also have 2 backups making 2 million plus a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the DL budget is spent. You might get an UDFA or a vet Min benefit deal guy, but I can’t see any more money going to DL, it is already one of our most expensive positions.

I think all the vet guys we pick up or even trade for will be vet min...the hope is Tonga beats whoever it is out but I still think competition is the way to go for as many spots as possible.
