I could see Poles trading down from 9 to target a Jared Verse, Johnny Newton or Byron Murphy type.
I think, however, that neither Newton or Murphy fit the physical profile they like ... Braden Fiske in R2 fits better. Murphy reminds me of Tommie Harris.

Re: Who will wear #13 for the Bears in 2024?
Allen will get his number assigned before CW is even drafted, so that seems fairly logical that he'll pry 13 loose from Scott. I've heard he's interested in wearing 0, which apparently George McCaskey hates (wtf?) and also ... wait for it .... 1. BTW, Caleb wore 18 in high school. We'd have to un-re...

Re: Bears sign C Coleman Shelton to 1yr $3M deal
I think we draft Van Pran Bears like athletic lineman. Van Pran has a fairly meh 7.61 RAS. Beaux Limmer, who is accused of being an unathletic mauler, has a 9.81. His 40 sucked - but his 10 yard split and strength and explosion metrics are really good. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID...

Re: Bears sign C Coleman Shelton to 1yr $3M deal
I'm "okay" with this move, if it's a stop gap move only and we add a Zach Frazier/Beaux Limmer/Christian Haynes in the draft.
Otherwise, this guy is the epitome of "average" and not a great pass protector. But then again, average is a huge upgrade over last year's shit show.

I have no idea how much we have to pay Allen next year, but if it's anything over $9M - $10M it's a ...

The Chargers enter FA 21 million over the cap and are expected to make some heavy cuts.

When you can get a long-term deal done for less AAV than the Franchise Tag - that's good work by Poles and Company. Agents like to argue that the Tag Number is the floor. That's a big guarantee they gave him and that's what moved JJ off "resetting the market" ... "do you want to "...

I'd rather overpay at high impact positions (3T, DE, WR) than drop coin at RB where we are serviceable - Herbert, when healthy, is a big play back.
