Top flight talent, if you could get him for a 4th, conditional 3rd perhaps in 2019 why not. He's got 2 years left on his rookie contract. Low risk, high reward. He messes up, you're not out any dead money. Get 2 solid years, see if he's grown up and he could walk in 2019 for a compensatory pick. Also.... the WR class is pretty weak. So going to be digging deep to find a true talent. Cut Crab, save his money, trade for Bryant to be your outside guy. Coop your movement piece and draft another guy to bring up.

Gaetano Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 There are a couple oft-injured guys that could come in on one year deals a la Crabtree that I'd be very interested in: Tyler Eifert - Like the idea of making him TE2, limiting his snaps because of his ultra-fragile nature Danny Woodhead - old sure, but a prototype 3DRB that could fill the pass-catching back role in a Gruden offense. We'd be forced to choose between Washington and Richard, but I'm good with that. Beyond that, I think we *have* to sign one of Trumaine Johnson or Vontae Davis at CB, with Malcolm Butler or Aaron Colvin (if Carrie walks). Believe Carrie stays here though. Bowman as well. Think we'll take a look at Star, Poe, and Bennie Logan at DT. I'd also expect us to make a huge push for Sammy Watkins if he hits the UFA market. Really hope we don't retain Crabtree.

oakdb36 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't understand why Vontae Davis sounds interesting to some of you. To me, he's another Sean Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually only has one year left on his contract. So I wouldn't wanna give up much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the right price, seems like a good reclamation. He was elite in IND before injuries got to him. Obviously not paying him 10m a year over 4 years, but on a prove it deal, or a frontloaded 2-3 year deal? I'd buy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's must higher risk than you realize trading a relatively high pick for Bryant while also cutting Crabtree. He's proven he's a volatile personality and is a persistent suspension risk. He's also not a complete receiver with arguably worse hands than both Crabtree and Cooper. There's no way I trade for Bryant without having another quality receiver to go along with Cooper.

Agree. More of the last 5 years. Vet CB who's best football is long behind him. In this case, banged up and hasn't been good in a couple years.

Forgot it's 4 years for non-first rounders. That's fine. If you can get him for a low pick and let him play it out or offer a decent contract (2 years max). If he blows up, let him walk as a FA and get that sweet compensatory action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I trade for Bryant without having another quality receiver to go along with Cooper. Crabtree is gone if he doesn't restructure, so it's really moot for me on him. And he's getting older. Coop/Bryant/draft pick... I'd be fine with that. Bryant IMO can keep it straight for a contract year (knock on wood) and may have grown up, who knows. Watkins/Allen would be my preferred FA choice (and with a bad draft class, gotta be aggressive). Then draft something at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickButera Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Bears are releasing McPhee. That guy was a stud in Baltimore. The veteran LB market is becoming saturated now. So many decent veterans to choose from. None of these guys are superstars anymore, but for a team that has hurt for LB's the last few years there's no reason we shouldn't be able to assemble a very decent unit from this years free agency that won't make many mistakes. Nigel Bradham, Derek Johnson, Pernell McPhee, Brian Cushing, Bowman, then Zach Brown and Gerals Hodges who we were linked to last year, and even guys like Avery Williamson, Tahir Whitehead, Demario Davis would be a massive upgrade on our roster. If we can grab any two of these I'd be a happy camper. Even the 1 year stop gap older veterans. All of them should come for relatively cheap too. My dream scenario is to upgrade our LB's and get a difference maker at DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
