beekay414 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I can't wait til the defensive scheme/DC change shows that our talent wasn't the main issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s still an issue at CB but I think Pettine will do a better job compensating it than capers did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely is an issue considering the lack of depth we have there now that House is gone and Randall got dealt. It's everywhere else that I'm not worried about. Pettine is a good DC and, hopefully, isn't a stubborn old mule refusing to adapt to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a price they did it and made Chicago act. Worth a try. But at the end of the day they weren’t going to give out crazy money. So . . . They negotiated a reasonable long term extension for their division rival? That's dumb as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Fuller should be one of the five highest paid cornerbacks in the league? Apparently thats what our tender (and CHIs acceptance) made him. "The Bears just paid Fuller the transition tag and guaranteed what amounts to a franchise tag for him for next year. He’ll be one of the five highest-paid cornerbacks in football over two years and the third-highest over three years if he sticks around. This is … not palatable."

Chili Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'm seeing very conflicting responses towards Fuller's offer sheet. You get this that makes us sound good: then you get this which makes us sound bad and make the bears look like geniuses: So which is it? the Bears look bad for not giving him a 5th year option or franchise tagging him and they end up paying significantly more or we look bad for not offering enough?

Mr Anonymous Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 As I alluded to jokingly before, Ball's probable influence appears to have killed a potentially savvy move before it even had a chance... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/16/kyle-fuller-gets-4-million-more-per-year-than-bears-had-offered/ Quote The structure reflects what the Packers do with every player except Aaron Rodgers: No guarantees beyond the signing bonus. You gotta be willing to take on a little more risk than that if delving into Restricted Free Agency. This is what happens when you don't make the GM the clear boss. It smells a whole lot like Gute went to Ball saying I want to go after Fuller with an offer sheet. And then Ball effed it up with his far too conservative financial restraint.

Is it because next year he was going to sign with us? Is it because we took a shot and failed? We explored an avenue to get a player, and didn't get a player. That's what happened tonight, and spoiler alert... Will probably happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
