Sugashane Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I've wanted to make this thread since he was drafted. He had a small stretch early where he gave false hope and then sucked something fierce. This was obviously going to happen once CHI drafted a punter but still. Good riddance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Shocking.....simply shocking I tell you. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I’ve been saying for a long long time he needed to be replaced, he was something like the 25th best in the league for years. Kinda awkward for him though to have been in attendance to the draft party and possibly learning there you’re gonna be unemployed soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Poles is doing the right thing by releasing him now so he can catch tryouts elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 For some reason i thought this was done before free agency began. Quite forgettable that Trenton Gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 His Bears tombstone should read something like “He was a successful FG holder but only that.” Seems like a good kid and I expect he’ll get a chance elsewhere, but this was a done deal once we drafted Taylor.

He was making the league minimum as a former late 7th rounder with minimal if any accelerated signing bonus money to be accounted for, and his spot amongst our top 51 contracts will be replaced by another guy also making the league minimum. When I looked at OTC the other day all the guys from like 45-55 in terms of our team’s top cap hits all had identical $950k cap hits.

When I looked at OTC the other day all the guys from like 45-55 in terms of our team’s top cap hits all had identical $950k cap hits. Right now our cap is at 6-7m. Campbell played last season on a one year 7m deal. Homer (2m) Borom (950) and Gil releases should get us another 4m which could be enough for Ngakoue at this point. Reports are that he is still in Chicago, rehabbed there. Kind of a no brainer for around 5m. Ogbah (30) is very intriguing, he is alot bigger (6'4 275) than YN, not a one trick pony. Have no idea what kind of money he is looking for after 4/65m deal in Miami. Around 10m ? I think a rotation of Billings/Dex/Calais/ZP/Walker/Booker/Ngakoue(or Ogbah) next to Sweat is pretty dam formidable, esp with our back 7 AND adaptable ! Get our DE of the future in next year's Draft, (and our DT of the future if Dexter and ZP flop), use the extra 2nd to nail down C..

If they wanted him and Campbell it can be done rather easily with a restructure or two. Ngakoue was horrendous last season. He looked done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked done I'd only want Ngakoue as a vet min or very near vet min deal. The meathead in me wants to see Campbell line up at 3T and Dexter to line up opposite Sweat. With Billings at NT that is a LOT of beef to let the LBs roam and to stop the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
