The Saints have done their own medical reports. It simply wasn't a good move. It does indicate that Pace knows that there will be a lot of significant cuts before the season starts, and that he's optimistic about some mid-round guys--which I can totally see... Allen Robinson is coming off a torn ACL. Cam Meredith is coming off a Torn ACL and MCL, and when you tear both of those ligaments simultaneously, its an injury that really is more than the sum of its parts. That is a devastating knee injury, whereas tearing just one typically does not have the same recovery issues. Cam couldn't even put a timetable on his return when asked the other day. The Saints may have done a physical (not sure if that would have happened yet or not), but they were not there for the actual injury, they didn't do the surgery, and they weren't there for the physical therapy. White has had injury problems, this isn't about white. I'm simply saying that they are relying on him more now, and not saying whether or not that is a good or bad thing. It may not be a good move to let him go, but its not a bad move necessarily either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it. Its not like he'll be their number 1 guy and getting a ton of targets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Robinson misses any time of note and we have Gabriel as our 1, then Pace and Nagy will look like fools IMO. He is the only proven number 1 or 2 on the team. Burton is a complete projection and Gabriel is a deep threat who didn't make major numbers with Shanhan calling plays, Ryan slinging the rock, and Jones being the one the defenses fear. Add in that our number 3 TE is making more than Cam was and tjis just seems bizarre. I hope it works out well for us and Cam both, but i feel like we now have to draft a WR. I'm scared of relying on White and right now we are looking at numerous guys and saying "This will probably work." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when it comes to snapping the ball in shotgun... he is not what I would call "good" at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you really think Cam Meredith is a top of the line WR, don’t you? We are talking about Cam Meredith. 5 minutes ago, bkokot said: Except when it comes to snapping the ball in shotgun... he is not what I would call "good" at that. Except that can be corrected. Would you rather he be good at that & not blocking? Way to add to the topic at hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maclin, Dez, something... Yeah- you paid 3 pass catchers $100 million, you used a 2nd rounder last year on a pass catcher, you traded up for a QB, your run game is great, and your back up RB is versatile as hell. Strategy found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I was thinking about the Bears taking Antonio Callway and Daurice Fountain before the Bears let Meredith go as a high upside luxury, and now I like it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here think Arden Key won’t even be on Pace’s board due to OTF issues, and if you’re with them, Pace likely doesn’t even know Callaway exists. Shame, because he’d be a 1st round pick if he wasn’t such a dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s most likely not on Pace’s board but personally I just think he to good not to take a risk in the 4th if he even makes it there.

I can't speak for everyone else, but he was only high on my "get him on the field" list because of how much of a dumpster fire the rest of the WRs where, his preseason flashes, and him being an as of that point unknown commodity at the NFL level.... The theory was that it couldn't hurt to try him out, and that it was at least worth seeing what we had in him. He got his shot, and failed pretty hard, despite them literally forcing a few passes his way. He's a known commodity now... and this year I'm rather indifferent to him making the roster or not.

MonserinNC Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This thread is crazy haha....we invested heavily in 3 TE's( cash and a 2nd rndr), and heavily in WR's( cash and a 1st) , that's 6 skill players who will need snaps/playing time to justify their cost and NONE of them play special teams. That's not even mentioning our pro bowl RB and leading pass catcher last year at RB. Basically the only choice was choosing between an injured 1st rounder and an injured undrafted guy....just on pride alone you have to pick the 1st rounder.....honestly if the Bears released White and the Saints signed him, who would you feel more bad about if they had a breakout year?? I think this is a unique position the Bears are in where they actually need their back end WR's to be MORE special teamers than actual offensive weapons. Like if Eddie Jackson starts at FS who is our returner even?? I think the Bears obviously draft a WR late but I would guess even then it would be almost entirely based on ST value End of the day we just don't have room for 3 rehabbing WR's who don't play ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw you are totally right...the Bears are unconventional....we basically have 3 TE's and an almost exclusively pass catching RB who all need touches....that's the offense....if you look at the Chiefs they weren't heavily WR oriented either.....our bottom 2/3 WR's need to be returners or physical enough to be gunners....and that's not even including Daniel Brown who could be a 4th TE on this roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
