I would almost guarantee a trade back today. The OL situtation has worked out perfectly to leave some attractive options open later in the 2nd/early 3rd. Picking up and wxtra 3/4 would be very beneficial
#Bears being mentioned a few times today as a team trying to trade up. QB obviously makes the most sense. But how disappointed will you be if it’s for a different position?
Even though I think they should go offense, I wouldn’t hate it at all if the #Bears took Greg Newsome II at 20.
If not for injury concerns, he’d be my CB1. His football IQ and change of direction are both out of this world.
What I’ve been told, by a reliable source —- @Patriots are working on a new contract for Jimmy G that could lead to a deal with @49ers. Same source who correctly told me Tom Brady had signed with @Buccaneers. Doesn’t mean it will get done, but they’re working on it.
IMO, the most important part of tomorrow night is keeping the first rounder next year. We won't many games this year. I'll let go of 2023s 1st but not next years.
I tried telling people it was going to be expensive to move up to get a QB. It cost SF 3 firsts to move up 9 spots. The same the Bears were gonna give up for Russ. Insanity. Shows how valuable QBs are. Known or unknown doesn't matter. Gotta spend to find out
Look. I know we need a QB. That much is clear but apparently I'm in the minority that thinking the roster is still so flawed that even Russ leaves us a significant ways away from competing for a championship. And giving up 4 firsts to do that just seems to be too much to me.
The #Bears have been making an aggressive pitch to sign Kenny Golladay, and the belief is they have offered 1-year deal in the $11M-$12M range, per @BradBiggs. The plan would be to pair Golladay with Allen Robinson and give Chicago one of the best receiver duos in the NFL.
@baemonte That's been my problem all off season is the lack of a clear plan aside from swing from the fences for Russ. Literally appears to be all or nothing
Adam Schefter said the Bears are still monitoring Russell Wilson and that he is interested to see what happens on draft night.
On draft night the Bears can offer 4 firsts. Is that too much?
.@AdamSchefter when asked if we should stop paying attention to a potential Russell Wilson trade:
"No ... I'm told that the Bears still are paying attention to Russell Wilson and have not abandoned hopes."
This!! I'm always a fan of trading down anyways but when you are likely to be pretty damn bad this year, you can't risk giving up a definite top 10 likely top 5 pick next year
The Chicago Bears don't need to trade up for a QB this year in the draft, they need to TRADE DOWN and start filling this team up with draft picks on the OL, CB, WR, etc. The only way out of this mess is to get younger. Trading up is what has caused part of this problem.
