Chicago Bears 2019 salary cap update 3/14/19:
Have right around $170M spent on Top 51 not including Mike Davis and Ted Larsen contracts. Would guess those two deals count around ~$4M in 2019, but will knock two $495k contracts off Top 51
Bears with roughly $19M in space left

- Strong Safety: HaHa Clinton-Dix, 1 yr, $3.5M - veteran starter

- Wide Receiver/Kick Returner: Cordarrelle Patterson, 2yr, $6M - depth
He ate crow on the bad kicker investment, eating money to dump the cancer that was Parkey. He's put in protections on a few valuable roster guys, and has opened up cap space with some shrewd contractual re-negotiations.
Credit to him for a solid offseason so far. I think there's more to go, but with a sturdy draft class and some of the 2017/18 young'ns coming into their own, this could be a glorious time.
Man I wish you would post those vids cause not that I don't like him I think he has the potential but I'm like you earlier and see him as a 3rd back. I'm in the boat that they will move up in second to get Sanders (God I hope so he just has that it factor) and Davis will be a short yardage type guy or see which RB coming off an injury drops and throw them in the 3rd spot for as long as Davis can hold them off and they're completely healthy. The money they threw at Davis is on the low end starter level but when Pace has said in the past he's going to fix a position he usually goes all out. I just have not seen video on Davis that screams starter at this point I firmly believe that's his biggest concern next to kicker...wab wrote:The more I look at Mike Davis...the more I think he's the Bears 1a back going into next season.

Amen brother... When we're talking about a kicker, LS and RB being the only real concerns on the BEARS roster it is indeed good times LAMO.G08 wrote:I'm allowing myself to be happy again, this is a glorious fucking time and I can't God damned WAIT for football season to start up again!!!UOK wrote:Pace has added:

I've been wrong in the past though lol...
Was a good vid. Seen some of those plays in other vids but there were some that were new and yeah he definitely has potential. You can't say he doesn't like contact because he definitely will lower a shoulder and I like that. He's a little quicker than Howard and has more lateral movement. I still want Sanders badly but we could do a lot worse than Davis.G08 wrote:https://youtu.be/3bu7eSermkU?t=65" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Knuckles wrote:Man I wish you would post those vids cause not that I don't like him I think he has the potential but I'm like you earlier and see him as a 3rd back.

That's probably the best summary of his style as a runner... has some quickness, sharp jump cut to make a defender miss, decent burst and power behind his pads when he lowers his head.
I liked Brown. I thought he was sort of a poor man's Greg Olsen that never really got a chance to shine.Chris Emma

Daniel Brown is signing a one-year deal with the Jets, a source said. The now-former Bears tight end is off to New York.
He was drafted as an OLB tho...BR0D1E86 wrote:I mean, I guess. I’d rather he mostly stayed at his position though and we used some of our league average remaining cap space to bring in a guy that can play the position.

Yeah but he bulked up quite a bit IIRC.wab wrote:He was drafted as an OLB tho...BR0D1E86 wrote:I mean, I guess. I’d rather he mostly stayed at his position though and we used some of our league average remaining cap space to bring in a guy that can play the position.

Yeah like 40 lbs of muscle. He is a big bodied dude. Her could be used like pernell McPhee in Baltimore.G08 wrote:Yeah but he bulked up quite a bit IIRC.wab wrote:He was drafted as an OLB tho...BR0D1E86 wrote:I mean, I guess.

I think they would have to go after him immediately if they rescind the tag. For a championship caliber team we all saw what kicking woes ended in. Gould at his worst is still better than what we have had since then.BearButtseks wrote:This could be an interesting twist to the kicker saga:
Report: 49ers showing interest in Stephen Gostkowski
Obviously if they signed Gostowski, they would rescind the tag on Gould and he would become a free agent, and hopefully then a Chicago Bear.
