He was coming off a season of 93 receptions, 1405 yards and 16 TDs. Bears signed him at 32 and he had 64 receptions, 750 yards and 4 TDs for Bears that year. Pretty sure he said at some point, "Chicago is where WRs go to die." But these are QBs that played that year LOL: Oops it was Kyle Orton. Edit. I had year before.

Epyon Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 1. Caleb. Obviously.... 2. The offense in a more general sense. I want to see some plays being made, even if the defense is really good. 3. No injuries 4. Offensive line... PARTICULARLY CENTER (This probably can't be measured until a preseason game). We (hopefully) have the QB, we (definitely) have the WR talent right now.... The offensive line in general is the most important thing here. 5. Pass rush (again, probably won't see anything until the games.... and even then we'll be running vanilla stuff) 6. The former running back in me always wants to see the RB room produce/succeed. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Swift signing, as all his highlights where holes -I- could have run through, but let's see him get his usage, and see what Khalil and Roschon have too. The running game is going to need to be functional, if we want to avoid just dumping EVERYTHING on Caleb's shoulders year 1. Like everything related to the offensive line, much of this is going to be in the preseason games..... but maybe we can see some RB involvement in the passing offense during practice. 7. Tyson Bagent. Odds are he's going to get some playing time this year. We hope he doesn't, but I'm curious to see if he's taken any steps forward.... I'd like to see a little more mustard on his throws this year, and maybe rounding out as a more complete backup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just haven't invested enough in draft or drafted well enough under previous 2 GMs in the OL and DL and have been suffering for it for an age. We have had to trade for quality pass rushing. 6. I heard we were in on Barkley. That would have been an exciting pick up. I don't understand how we get outbid by Philly who is paying multiple star players. I go back to saying the cap is both real and fake. Real, but can be gamed by willing owners. It is much more about team budgets and cash flow. 7. My dream scenario is Bagent shows he is an avg. quality NFL starter with some upside and is traded for a 2nd or better in a few years. Not likely, but possible. Worst case he becomes a decent to good back up IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys that look really good in preseason and in spot duty get traded for something like that historically. Usually to us, Browns or Texans.

My dream scenario is that teams have to make that decision based upon preseason games and that Bears never find out what Bagent looks like in regular season action in this system because they don't have to.

dll2000 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Twitter says Caleb asked for no tag clause with his rookie deal. But didn't get it. It doesn't matter. Almost all obviously good QBs get big extension after 3rd year and never make it to tag stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Pelissero about an hour ago whatever it was before, they’re past it. Just waiting on the team announcement now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
