I'm looking at our cap situation in 2020 and 2021 and thinking that the Bears need to extend guys this year and/or look at 1 year rentals only. As it is the bears are gonna need some restructuring or notable cuts to even participate in 2020 free agency

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.
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.

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.

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:

But that depends on what Gould wants too. He may want a longer and more expensive deal than possible.

Well, scratch that idea - Gost re-upped with the Pats. The thing with the 49ers might have just been thrown out by the agent to drive up the price. Oh well - maybe Gould will simply not sign the franchise tender, and they'll rescind it.

Danny Shelton is out there apparently. I wonder how much it would take to sign him.
I could go for a front with Hicks, Shelton and Goldman. Then rotate in Nichols.

there should be a handful of former AAF players, other than kickers, who will get their shot
the Vikings just signed Karter Schult , the DE/OLB from Salt Lake who was playing at a level above the competition ... this was the guy I wanted the Bears to take a look at ... now I guess they'll have to find a way to block him as I think he will make an impact for them
