G08 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Tre Burton 4 years/$32 million. He will be our F, or move, TE and Shaheen will be your Y, or in-line, TE. Goodbye Dion SIms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bottle of wine on it again. I have won wine the last 2 years (2016 I bet the Bears would win less than 4 games, 2017 I bet they would win 5 or more) so you can book your bets now.

In a zone-read-option offense like the one we should be running, you need a move TE like this that can make plays for you in the middle of the field. So our passing targets are... Allen Robinson Cameron Meredith Kevin White Tark Cohen Adam Shaheen Tre Burton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankWilliams Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Oof, that Burton contract is big for a guy who has 600 yards and 6 TD's in his career. Like the addition but thats a lot of money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. A no. 3 wr talent on his best day. But he played for the coach! Only 1 guy aside from HC on current STAFF knows the offense and that doesnt include the OC. Everybody is starting from scratch together schemewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Pace comes out of the first 24 hours with his top 2 targets. Pay no attention to the talking heads folks, the league is viewing the Bears in a whole new light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys coming off good teams scare me though, maybe you looked good because everybody was scared of everyone else. It's looking more and more like Rush OLB will be early draft target.

I honestly didn’t think we’d go that far for him but I like the talent. My questions about Burton were never about potential but rather whether usage would justify the contract he was going to fetch. I still have those reservations, but he no doubt gives us a lot of flexibility with what we can do formation wise which I like quite a bit. Nagy will be able to use his skill set to create favorable matchups which I also like. Dion Sims will be going away and that I like as well. LOVE that Pace is showing to not be afraid to cut bait on sunk costs with low ROI. Those with Kevin White hate can take some solace in that too. This is what competent GM work looks like, folks. Pleased wirh this start to FA. Maybe the whole “Pace can’t close” narrative can go the F away now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just now, TankWilliams said: Or Quentin Nelson Love him, but he might not last to 8 and you can find a serviceable guard in FA, draft or convert a tackle. Rush backers are scarce and Floyd isnt lighting league on fire. Nelson is a luxory pick, like Edmunds, and both might end up in HOF Lol. My guess right now is they are thinking primarily Chubb, Davenport, Landry. Chubb if he falls and maybe a small tradeback for Davenport or Landry if they are feeling like gambling. If they went Nelson or Edmunds I wouldn't be upset, but I dont see them making that move. Of course I didnt see Trubisky or Floyd either so what do I know.

I would have given it an A+ but you didn't involve Tanner Gentry. GOATS 1. Tanner Gentry 2. Jerry Rice 3. Randy Moss DOMINANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'd still take a stud CB or pass rusher over Nelson at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
