If they do bring in Hurns, it means they are probably done with Meredith.

They're prepared for that, I'm sure. In my mind I'd rather keep Meredith and see what he can offer, but if they're hearing about offers for him that are more than Hurns would request, makes sense.wab wrote:If they do bring in Hurns, it means they are probably done with Meredith.

I'd like to see Meredith stay obviously. But who knows what the market for him is or what offers they've got. Considering the money already spent on Robinson and Gabriel, and that Nagy has said White is his personal reclamation project...I could see them moving on.

I'm not sure I see this happening unless someone has a set-back (God forbid). Still only one football to go around and I'd have to think a heavy chunk will be to Howard, Robinson, Gabriel, Burton and Cohen to name a select few. That still leaves Shaheen, White and Meredith on the outside looking in for targets.

I don't see the problem with going after Hurns and also retaining Meredith. Bellamy and Kendall Wright would be the odd people out and I'm okay with that.

I have no idea what Hurns is asking/expecting - but I'm not turning away any talented offensive player that wants to sign here. Even a guy who missed 6 games last year. Hurns is a more established receiver than Meredith - who everyone is penciling in as our #2.
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

Oh, and if you were wondering - yes I'm real. And I'm fantastic.

I think technically we're penciling in Meredith as a #3

And really he'll be closer to a 4 with the amount of targets Burton should be seeing...RustyTrubisky wrote:I think technically we're penciling in Meredith as a #3

Allen Hurns confirms on @wfnz that the Bears ARE one of the teams that have reached out to him. It was the first team he listed when they asked him.

Who has a higher ceiling? Hurns or Meredith?

Post-ACL: I still go Meredith... but there's that lingering doubt
A lot of this has to do with the fact that I am rather certain we have seen Hurns ceiling already.

Worst case - PFL

I suck.
He'll probably get another chance if he gets in line... but he's in it pretty deep.

re: all-injured team of WRs
I think Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal are available too

I am still a big fan of Cam Meredith. I love his story. He's from the Southside of Chicago, and really flashed some talent in 2016. I hope the Bears retain him, and make him a #3 or #4.
