He's pretty good. It just depends on how much you value a true free safety vs a more in the box safety. Collins is one of the best in the box safeties in football. It just depends on how you value that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you do everything you can to make things work for 2019 and 2020, worry about the future later. This is the window I agree but there are a lot of teams with cap space, bears to do that will need to target a specific player and execute, not worth doing it for the plan b's. That pre negotiating period will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiSox Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bears can save another $2m if they trade Howard and another $3m by cutting Daniel. So they are hardly out of options to clear more money. I think they can find anyone to be as dogshit as Daniel was against New York but I am guessing they'll want to keep him in the QB room another year.

I've heard they might restructure his contract to free up more space though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiSox Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The Bears have maybe the best top to bottom roster in the NFL with a top-fifteen QB on a rookie contract, the best defender in football and one of the twenty best football coaches in the world serving as defensive coordinator to another one of the twenty best coaches in the world. We'll never see these circumstances replicated again in our lifetime. For the next two years the Bears have to go all out to bring home a title. No stone left unturned.

KiwiSox Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 None of the safeties are going to get overpaid because it's such a buyer's market for them. It's kind of why Collins and the Bears are a such a tremendous fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Antonio Brown to be traded by Friday the Steelers said. I would have no idea how to feel if my team traded for him. He is still so good, but he seems to be going crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiSox Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Bears had another kicker tryout and went with Chris Blewitt. Already signed Redford Jones too. They are just going to have a massive competition and whoever comes out on top gets the job. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Julian Love had some speed issues at the combine but has great football instincts at all DB spots and is really agile. Would he be worth a look in the 3rd round by the Bears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mizzou's emmannuel hall and assume he could be there later so that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a top 10 receiver but I also think he works extremely well with Roethlisberger, who knows how to get him the ball in spots he can take advantage of. On games where Pittsburgh had to use their backup QB, you could see that Brown would get completely shut down because the QB wouldn't know to just trust AB to make a play the way Roethlisberger does. That QB would see heavy coverage near Brown on every play and just go elsewhere on plays where Roethlisberger would still force the ball to Brown. He's definitely still an elite receiver but I think there's a really good chance of a substantial dropoff in his numbers with a different QB, unless that QB puts in overtime to be comfortable with Brown...and that would require Brown to be willing to put in overtime working with the QB as well.

GoSox05 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I think any time a back up QB comes in, production from almost all offensive players goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think process wise drafting a rb every year and trading them a year before free agency is going to be correct 9 times out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
