I like to see this as well, the Bears with 2 in that range:

I didn't think about that, but it makes sense.

This is a good move. I'll miss DJ Moore but I like this move.

I suspect they already know they will get a 5th for Edmunds so they could trade ours.

Bears had 25, and 57, and are now getting 60, so slightly better, 3 in the top 60, and don't forget their 3rd rounder at 89.

What 3 players in the top 63, that will give us the strongest team. It will depend on who else we get in free agency but a DT, DE, and a stud LBer will improve the defense drastically. I think in the 4th round we grab a OT or S. I also think we get that comp pick at 100,so 2 third rounders.

I never expected a 2nd rounder, even giving up a late 5th. Pick #60 for Moore and Pick #163. Now if they get anything for Edmunds, that would be icing.

I will say, he at least went to a good team.

❤️

That's a great deal. 3 picks in the top 63, and a 4th. I expect him to trade back one of the 2nd round picks down for a few more.

Unfortunate to see him go. We all pretty much saw the writing on the wall with Burden on the team. He’s going to a great situation with Allen as QB. Best of luck to you DJ and thank you for your contributions getting us through some tough times.

WOW for a 2nd rounder? Bears traded Moore and a 5th for a 2nd.

With Dalman's retirement, the Bears freed up $26.5M, and now have over $18M in cap space. Figure that goes to $33M when Edmunds is traded/released.

Merged!

I posted that at the same time, go ahead and just eliminate mine. Heard mid round 4th or 5 th? To be honest I didn't think they would but support whatever they decide to do . Rome and Burden now have to step up and have my questions that Rome can be the playmaker DJ was.

$16.5M freed up in cap space. Still waiting on what they got in return.

To be honest, I didn't think they would but I support whatever they decide they need to do. Haven't heard the compensation. They said mid round, 4th or 5 th?

We just have opinions, you have made it clear of what you want, not sure every time someone doesn't agree with you, why you have to keep repeating yourself. I'm not changing my opinion.

Dude, this is a discussion board. We are here to discuss football. I dont need to call Poles on the phone and try to get him to listen to me, thats insane. Why would he listen to any fan? But that doesnt mean we cant talk about stuff here, thats what this forum is for. Please cut that out?

I guess, but to me, Linderbaum is like another guard, the way he can get into the second level so quickly. I dunno if anyone watched his highlight tape, but he is something special for sure.

The thing for me is that I simply do not see a center as a game changing position. The fact we have some of the best OGs in the NFL next to a Center, and a really good RT too should mean we can get by with a good but not elite center. Dalman stretched that model last year with his huge contract but at the time we needed that gap closed and he was best available option. Now we know better what we have and we don’t have as much of a learning curve across the entire offense. (I watched Bear Down w/ Adam Mason and also Da German Bears reviews on centers earlier today) Despite that elite contract Dalman still had flaws and was exposed at times in pass protection, both 1v1 and on stunts where he completely whiffed on his block. Biadasz graded out similar to Dalman but he’s not as nimble and won’t be able to make those really wide reach blocks. Yet he’s still good at them and he’s got a better anchor in 1v1 pass pro which would be nice to have. He’s also really quick at picking up stunts. For $10mil/yr (if that is a realistic price tag) I don’t think we’ll see any dropoff in the offense although some things might look different based on his traits (because we have a coach who leverages talent and skillsets). If my luck holds out I might be able to use the left over cap space to bring in Trent Williams for a couple years. That’s a swing for the fences but I would do that and then just use my entire draft to go fix the D. Signing Trent also removes him from a key NFC opponent which only helps us more in the playoffs. If he hits the market, he will definitely be looking to go to a playoff team with a good QB and OC/HC. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/trent-williams-great-news-bears-163912846.html

Love Linderbaum. Hate the price. He's looking for 25 mil per. With Thuney and Jackson making X, then paying Wright Y; the question of how much investment do you want in one unit comes to play. If Tyler gets his, we have to pay Wright 30. 90 million per for four OL would absolutely be new territory. I'm for signing someone useful and drafting a stud. It's the defenses' turn.

I think Poles will surprise us with who he brings in.

I would say better than Thuney because of his age. Go on Poles X account and present your argument,no one in this group has the power to change anything.. Your suggestion would be great be I don't see them doing that.
