Madmike90 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just now, WindyCity said: We do not have a ton of guys who will qualify. Hicks and Dalton probably clear the 3 million threshold. That means we could sign 1 more UFA to get Robinson's pick back. You also have to take into account if we sign players who were released it won't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton and Hicks could also sign after the comp pick deadline and really screw us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It is unlikely that we will get a comp pick. We just are not going to lose enough guys. We might as well make a big signing like Armstead, and not pass on him to protect a comp pick that is a long shot to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as much as Armstead is injured do we really want to sink a significant amount of money in him. We don't want another DT on our hands do we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstead’s health issues worry me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Armstead is on the field he is still an All Pro player. When DT is on the field he looks like wounded animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The Bears are in the situation on the OL where they need to take some risks. Even if they get 12 games from Armstead... it would be the highest level LT play since Jimbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ain't paying him half the pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just now, CBears019 said: Good signing. He can play. Also allows you to trade Quinn during the season if you get an offer. We likely had added Muhammad and Jones for less than Larry O was going to average. These were the reasonable deal for the defense. Almost 0 shot at a comp pick now.
