IHatesnyder Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Good move for Chicago in a lot of ways you fleeced Philly . Quinn getting older and you guys was going release him next year . Think eagles didn’t care and just said yes quickly with the demand . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles are in win now mode and are top 5 on both sides of the ball in ppg, but only 5.5 sacks have come from DEs in PHI so far. So Chicago eats his 2022 salary and you get at least a rotational passrusher, even if Graham and Sweat are healthy this keeps them fresh for the postseason. My only complaint is I expect the pick to be really late in the round. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I thought it helped win a Super Bowl? Hell yes. That being said I don't think it can be properly graded right now, and I would be uset if the Bears traded a 4th for Quinn at this moment. We are in a total rebuild and I want the young guys taking their lumps now so we can evaluate their growth over the next 8-9 games. Also look at Howie's success with the 4th round since like 2010. While he has regularly put out better teams than Chicago he hasn't done well in the 4th round at all anyway. Maddox has looked really good from what I've seen but what other 4th has been re-signed or more than depth since like 2010? (I was a Driscoll fan pre-draft but IDK how he has done) If anything Howie has shown he can retain his studs, hit enough of them to always stay dangerous, and then will supplement that core talent with FA and trades. I have a feeling this is just another one of those kind of moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say never pay RBs long term If we are sitting this offseason, and Monty wants to come back for what essentially boils down to a 2 year deal, Id be completely fine with it. I like Herbert, but he still worries me that he cant do it all (emphasis on pass blocking), so keeping that duo going while we build up the rest of the roster would be a nice security blanket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we feel like this offense is on the cusp, I’m fine with just running a solid group at the RB spot. Id actually, if we love on from Monty, would like to give Herbert the lead spot next year to see what he can do with it, and grab a Jamal Williams to pair him with. 2024 and 2025 both have pretty great Free Agent classes at RB too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
