Re: Bears trade 5th rd pick to Bills for OL Ryan Bates

The guy only played 35 offensive snaps last season. In a year where Poles doesn't have an abundance of picks it seems a curious move to give one up for a backup. You've got to think he's being earmarked as a potential center. He played 137 snaps there in 2022 (with 810 at RG) and all 35 snaps last ...

Re: Do we know on Monday

My guess if this: Fus stays. Getsy is canned. Fields is traded. Bears draft Williams with 1st pick. Bears immediately ruin Williams as an NFL QB. What I'd like to see happen: - Fire the entire coaching staff - Trade the 1st pick for a boat load of picks/players (like they did last year) - Keep Field...

Re: Jaylon Johnson

I don't get this organization. You have young talent that deserves to be paid and they let them go. It's bizarre. We had one of the best LB's in the league in Roguan Smith plus a ton of cap room. But rather than "over pay" him, they trade him for a 2nd and 5th round pick. Now we've got ano...

Re: The Offensive Line

I've been questioning the OL for years. Especially this year. We enter the 2023 draft with 10 picks. You spend only 1 on an offensive lineman. You sign Nate Davis as a free agent. And what else? It's like o-line is an after thought. But that's been the Bears' mindset for years. Fields, Trubisky, Cut...

The Bills run a 4-3, man. He's not used as a 2-gapping NT.
If so, I stand corrected. Reading the Bills board it consistently talked about his lining up in the gap at NT.
G08 is right.

Re: Seems Day 1 is over....where from here?

I want them to sign Orlando Brown badly. I think that is our #1 need. He's young (25) and should be a solid player for years to come. After that, I'm done with free agency until after the draft. Spend the majority of your picks boosting the d-line and the o-line. Maybe Carter drops to us at #9 then ...

It's a good trade for everyone involved. He'll be used as a situational pass rusher in Philly, which should bode well for him. They're trying to make a run at the Super Bowl, so bringing in a quality guy like Quinn makes sense. For the Bears, whom are rebuilding, a 4th rounder is good value. We need...

Herbert seems to have the speed and big-play ability that Montgomery lacks.
