soulman Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) You all realize of course that this time of year is the NFL equivalent of a yard sale where everyone shops other teams castoffs only to bring them home to potentially add to their own yard sales. If those madras plaid cargo shorts didn't fit them worth a damn why do we believe they might fit us and who wears madras plaid shorts any way? But they were cheap right? It's desperation time for some GMs who are looking for help to plug holes in the roster they created. Or viewed another way it's prom week and you need a date. What are the chances of finding an acceptable one who'll also accept your invitation so you don't have to go with your older sister, your Mom, or your third cousin Barbara? There ain't no Coupe De Ville hidin' at the bottom of some teams Cracker Jack box. For the most part all you'll get is just another back end of the roster guy.

Movement with who? There isn’t much of a market out there. The Bears also don’t seem to have the draft capital needed to make a bigger move. Not with the work that needs to be done on offense. This may just be our punishment for Quinn, Foles, and Trevathan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordy, can you imagine if Pace trades more future capital for a CB right now? I would have to buy that Jaguar just so I could join the "F Pace" gang. If he went all-in (again!) on this year it would be hilarious and terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking, maybe Pace & Paton had a secret handshake deal that if Bears let go of Fuller to sign with Denver then they would help us by passing on a QB in round 1 (i.e Fields) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is that good few teams would let them go. For instance Cam Newton is a shell of what he once was and even at his best he was never a great passer. And.....we already have our own "former" double digit sack guy so who needs another. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there's CB to be had anywhere who would be at same level as Kyle Fuller. Windy has a good point. It was the deals Pace handed out to DT, Foles, and Quinn that eventually forced him to release Fuller in order to clear cap space to sign Dalton. Those are three of the worst deals he ever cut and none of them had a safe harbor back end. So we have an ILB on IR again, the highest paid #3 QB in the NFL, and a DE we want to play OLB who acts like he doesn't want to play period. All told we guaranteed these guy almost $65 mil and we're stuck with them. We got more outta Fuller than all three combined.

Bears are spending more cap on Fuller and Skrine than on all CBs on the active roster combined. OT situation is similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the cap for an extension of ARob right there. And if we could manage the gift we gave DT then why not Hicks as well. He's far more irreplaceable than DT.

So much for Chicago being cheap. Honestly though, I don't remember that ever happening here. Just bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it needs to be a big move...in the past we have got bye with guys like Amukamara...I'm a big believer in scheme fit when it comes to DBs and there will be guys out there who fit the mould on this team that don't others who have talent...like I said a guy like Austin would fit here where as now in NY he doesn't...if the scouting is done correctly you can find guys to contribute even if they will never be superstars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I have to say the more I watch Khalil Herbert the more I think he could be the steal of this draft...especially when Fields gets in there for the simple fact of running the option and delaying the offence for that split second gives him the ability to use his speed to get to the outside and if we use more outside zone then his vision as a cut back runner will make him a danger to defences...I just hope we trust him to give him some touches early behind Monty & Williams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
