Especially if they have an extension already worked out over and above the 1-year deal. 

I'd have to imagine that the NFL would view that as circumvention of the cap, and probably void the original deal.  Just my $0.02 on it though.

Depends when they decide to 'extend' him, but you are probably correct.

And I'll say it again.........If Pace would have used the franchise tag on him instead of the transition, this would have never happened.......

But I'll wait to see how it turns out before I start cussing.

But Pace is gonna wait until next year to see if Fuller is worth it doe........at least that what I was told here.

Lol @ doing it immediately. Should’ve made us wait. 

 

[vike daddy]

don't understand why Chicago didn't wait a few days, and limit GB's other moves they could make.

They could wait 5 days before making it official...Ian isnt an employee for the Chicago Bears.

Doesn't really matter. All we'd have to do is verbally agree with other UFAs and wait until they make it official. We now know we have that cap space still and so do other UFAs.

True. But still sucks the news got out early. Could’ve handicapped us more.

that said, I’m sure they just wanted it done.

honestly surprised we didn’t offer more, that’s not that bad

Better to let 'em know you are going to match but not do officially until the deadline lol
