Fine him and prepare to move on I guess. They get a ton of cap space back at a position they have been good at addressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 If Eddie Goldman retires the Bears would have cap hits of 21: 3.3 22: 3.3 They would save 21: 4.5 22: 8.5 23: 11.4 They could also go after the 6.6 million in signing bonus that hit the cap in 21 and 22 but I have no idea how long it would take to get it.

soulman Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 1 hour ago, abstract_thought said: I’ll just say that if Biggs is accurately representing the Bears’ perspective… that’s an extremely disappointing outlook. The feeling I got was that they don’t want to pay him, their decision isn’t affected by having a young QB, and they see Mooney as a suitable replacement. Yikes. I believe his Keenan Allen comparison is pretty accurate and pretty straight forward but his numbers are wrong. He's guaranteed $26.5 mil at signing and $43 mil total based on his 2022 salary becoming fully guaranteed 3/21/2021 which it did. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/keenan-allen-12357/ To be honest I don't know what Pace/Laine wouldn't agree to a deal like Allen's. He's essentially gtd $43 mil which pays out before the end of year three. That's only $14.3 mil per year which is about what ARob's original 3 year deal paid him. With Allen's 2021 salary fully guaranteed his cash out over three years is $48.8 mil/16.3 mil per year. That's less than the $17.9 mil ARob is getting on his tag. Allen's cap numbers ran from $10.35 mil/2020 to $15.7 mil/2021 to $19.2 mil/2022. His cap jumps to $21.7 mil in 2023 but the Chargers can release him and save $16-$19 mil in cap. So is it the amount or the structure which would also allow the Bears to move on from ARob after 3 years at age 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Andy Reid/Mahomes, I guess. What a complete moron. I mean...we can't escape it anymore, can we? Who the the hell comes out and says that there is no way Fields will show better than Dalton? It's idiocy. They may want to pretend it's a KC situation...but it ain't. My apologies, @dll2000...it does appear Nagy has lost what little sense he has left. It's unfortunate. But maybe it means the Nagy era will end soon. Which, given everything, is probably good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No showing the first mandatory team activity after sitting out a season is super fishy. I am not sure we should be relying on Eddie to show up in the fall no matter what Nagy says. Interesting but let's not get carried away until we have more info. Do we even know why he's a no show? Has Goldman told them he won't be attending mini-camp? Has he told them he plans to retire?

This is unreliable behaviour after missing an entire season. I am sure they are preparing for it Halas Hall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields was never going to start Week 1, I've been saying that since the moment we drafted him. They want to ease him into the role, and I am completely fine with it.

G08 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Fields isn't ready... Nagy had to call him back from the huddle to correct a mistake. He threw another INT today and had yet another fumbled snap. Patience, guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
