Tyler lindenbaum is considered one of the best centers in the league. I've been looking at his stats 5 th ranked C by pff. 5 penalties and 2 sacks but 26 pressure's. Is that worth 20+ mil a year? Is he over hyped? We can get a 8-10 mil C with better stats.

Polea is always full of surprises. Don't think it's Crosby though. What people are forgetting is we have to deal with a new contract for Wright. Before the fifth year starts for the RT. He could be clearing money for that. Your idea of trading JJ would get us something good. Top CBs seems to get traded a lot. Sauce and now McDuffie. In 2 days we could find out.

I think cutting Edmunds rather than holding on to him for another week to look for a trade might mean we are clearing salary cap for something.

As much as lots of fans want us to acquire the top players in the league, I think the bears will bargain shop free agents. I think Byard is a given to bring back, but the other safety may be a TJ Edwards type of signing. Same for S. Those two positions can find a lot of value in FAgency. I suspect we go after one (tier 2) edge or DT for around 9 to 10 mil. Poles could surprise us with another trade but IMO it's not a big money guy. If some of the older vets still playing may want to get on a SB contender that we will be. Those signing won't be until later in free agency. Mack, Cam Jordan. Poles has brought in TJ Edwards, Billings, D Jackson, Gardener-Johnson Zacchus all on cheap money that has made contributions. I suspect more of the same.

I think when the owner had a meeting with the brass at the NFL to present the nature of hiring minorities, he has a great case to argue with. Clearly a GM job is an upgrade over the assistant GM job. I am very hopeful that meeting paid off.

Hoping tomorrow bears get some good news. Comp picks get announced.

I agree I don’t want to give up two firsts.

I'm only going by what he said. He also stated the answer will likely be on the team. Doubt he meant moving Wright. I was also the one suggested we draft one high before I heard him speak. Theo could get better? , Kiran finally produces? We will find out in a few days what they are planning. Ozzy may not play this year but I still think they think he is their future LT.

No trade,oh well, we at least get the money. I expect a Demarco Jackson signing shortly.

Tremaine has been cut. 15 more million added to cap.

Jonathan Allen is being released with a lot of money in his pocket. Would he play for 2 years at 16 mil?

I'm not the expert in the room when it comes to center but we do have good options at a time when we need it. Does anyone think they might bring back Bates for a year while waiting for a rookie or even Newman gets ready? They valued Dalman because he was very smart to handle the mental part of the game. Find out who the smartest option is and we may find our center.

Trapilo was just starting to, but he is not quite a for sure LT answer. I don't see Braxton back and Theo is not long enough. They have to be eyeing LT especially after losing Dalman.

Its possible they like Connor. Poles likes Buffalo linemen. Its also possible Biadaz has an offer from the Bears and he is out visiting other teams to see his best situation.

As much as I would love and wanted to have Max Crosby, I feel the Bears would be better and smarter to keep their 2 firsts and a player. Rumor is a team or two has called with that offer today and Dallas has shifted its attention to Hendrickson. Too rich for Jerry. It is possible the Bears are one of those teams that made the call but why pass on cheap 4 yr production at another key position that is in need now and more so in 2027 : DT Peter Woods (3T) DT Kayden McDonald (1T) or LT -Kadeyn Proctor/Monroe Feeling LT has to be the top target. Roushar can work magic, so maybe there is a lower tiered prospect he sees but if one of these two are there it has to be priority imo. Trapilo may recover and return to form for 2027, but you cannot risk that with Caleb. Peter Woods name has occasionally dropped in mocks, like his 2025 stats. Let him learn the ropes under Jarrett and we have a long term 3T answer. Kayden McDonald - his stout presence would be a multiplier for the rest of the run D while also giving a plus push in pass D. Then 2027, the draft is much stronger and deeper at Edge. Dayo can come off the books for 15mil savings, and we will know what Booker will be stud/rotation. Rumor mentioned this morning on 670 was Tremaine Edmunds to Giants for Kayvon Thibodeux who has 1 yr left.

Actually I was the one that mentioned he has had 8 in his career. That's a red flag for me. Parsons had an injury when he was traded and ended up not finishing the year. The biggest reason I don't think we are getting him is the two 1st round picks. I don't think Poles will do that.

I think they end up with Connor McGovern at center. If they were going to sign Baidarz, they would have already signed him. Tyler would be nice but way to much money. Connor only had 1 sack and 11 pressures. Very good at pass blocking.

Someone here keeps saying he’s had a bunch of knee surgeries. I actually don’t know his history but at a mínimum needing one surgery last year qualifies as a reason IMO.

The same Oline coach who told them I know what playing LT looks like in the NFL and didn’t see that from any of them?

They were over the cap before though - anyone know what our actual capacity is now?

I think any team giving up two first the deal would already be done. Deals are getting done and the Raiders are not getting what they want so they queue up the rumor mill.

Even a 7th or a pick swap would have been nice. Maybe it got to the point where once it is that low there is kind of a bias not to do it and lock a player who has been a good / solid performer into a destination vs. the trade.

Also, we have now opened: Dalman $10M (or maybe $14M) DJ Moore $16.5 Edmunds $15M $41.5M (or $45.5M) on the cap, and just getting started. We do have money to go after a premiere pass rusher and of course you all know I would LOVE to have Linderbaum too. Especially if Thuney's years are numbered, like 2 left. Still to come: Edge, DT (x2?), LT, LB, S, CB, WR

Edmunds just got cut. I guess there were no trade partners, too bad. It was only a 5th, but it would have been nice...

There's no reason they shouldn't be able to get top dollar for Crosby. They said they don't want to trade him and he doesn't want to leave. He's the most popular Raider. Why settle for less? Especially after the Parsons trade last year.
