We have limited cap space, probably be around 5 to 6 mil, so the only way to get more is redo contracts or dump big salaries thru trade or cuts. Offensively DJ,Kmet, Swift are the contractors that may be dealt. IMO they keep this offense together one more year since we are so close to being a high octane scoring team. I think Swift has played his way into the lead role and won't leave on the last year of his contract. Maybe they extend him another yr to get the 26 Cap hit down. I think more likely to redo both DJ and Kmet for more money instead of dealing them. Depth has been important this year as every WR and Loveland has missed games or not 100 % been healthy. I think both are here one more year. Defense has been terrible and I don't care who stays or who goes. Edmunds was an all star before injury and clearly affected him coming back. I think for sure he won't be here. If any player that are most entitled it's JJ. I don't think he's been 100% and hasn't played well since back . He signs a contract then before he comes back there was rumor he wanted more money. Those are the two contracts I would like to see gone for Cap space. Dayo and Jarrett haven't been worth it but contracts won't allow them to leave until 27. I think a priority should be bringing back Byard besides his play is the defense leader. Him and Edwards fill those roles. Terrell Smith will be back so I think we could afford to lose JJ. Sweat is a 2nd tier edge but until we replace him, he won't be leaving. I think Booker is getting better every week and will have a breakout season next year. Don't really care about who else stays or goes. Would like to see them bring back Wright, Gad-Johnson, and D Jackson but trust BJ and Poles to figure that out.

Nice video

Aren't those the same games that Rome has missed? He took Romes targets? I remember when a lot of fans ( not speaking to this group) complained about our first two picks instead of filling other needs. Both of these are home runs and leds me to be patient when viewing roster construction.

Every time I try to post this video my computer locks up. After switching to a new VPN service which has unlocked YouTube for me here is one more effort via phone it is interesting with DG bears WR coaching experience to hear the differences in the film breakdown versus our usual QB views. He thinks Burden will be our WR1 next year over Rome.

Yessss!

i think this is another example of how stats don't always capture the full picture, and aren't (or shouldn't be) a goal in and of themselves. Good stats come with winning, and sometimes how you win makes the stats look lesser. Winning is the only stat that really matters.

Yeah, get the 4K, then it becomes a non-story. Then we can talk about 5K lol.

Burden just needs more targets.

Odunze probably ends up close to 1,000 yards if he never got injured, but otherwise, this equality of numbers for these receivers is really impressive. Very curious to see if Burden eventually becomes the Amon Ra of this offense next year. It kind of feels like he's in the middle of a potential breakout that is coming at the perfect time. His last three games against the Packers, Browns, and 49'ers: Packers: 4 catches, 67 yards Browns: 6 catches, 84 yards 49'ers: 8 catches, 138 yards, 1 TD He's improved in each game, becoming more of a focal point of the offense. If he can close out the year strong against DET, you go into the playoffs feeling really good about this offense, especially with Odunze coming back.

Just saw this posted in an article on SI.com. Further proof (although none was needed at this point in the season) that Burden was indeed a brilliant selection by the Bears.

Clip from NFL.com article: I also found this when the original story of his release occured: Sure, he may be worth a gamble, but I can't believe his injury problems and, as a result, poor play will disappear.

Diggs has been terrible this year, not sure he can help anybody for a few games. He's young enough to take a chance next year he regains form. The DB coach in GB was his college coach. That might have been a stronger connection for him.

One thing I've noticed is that they haven't used CJGJ in the blitz role lately. That may come up in the playoffs...

They know our secondary has been depleted and they liked picking on CJGJ in the last game. I can’t help but think keeping him off the Bears was part of the calculation.

This video explains why being negative may be a short sighted point of view.

Packers got him

I figured some playoff team would add him on a cheap deal not on his current contract. I imagine there is still a cheap cut with minimal cap hit after this season but I just haven’t seen this scenario before.

Here's a complete look at the off season and will say I agree with some and not with others moves. I'll post my view after I study the draft more but this is a first look at the off season.

If you claim him off waivers you bring his contract where as if you sign him as a free agent, new contract. . None of his contract is guaranteed going forward. Cheap opportunity.

Looks like Green Bay pounced on him. Two former Dallas players now injured on their team. Two-time Pro Bowl Trevon Diggs quickly lands with new team

He was getting cut anyway Jerry just wanted to send a message doing it a week early. Cowboys as usual are a mess. I don’t know that we should get involved with Diggs but I’m certain that Al Harris has already made some phone calls to figure out what’s going on. i hope Jerry gives George Pickens a big contract extension because I’m enjoying the show.

I did summer reading on Diggs. It seems from comments from Jerry Jones is that he's not practicing like he's healthy.

The only reason I care about 4000 yards, is so people can shut up about it. 4k yards is such an unimportant stat. If you look balanced offenses; passing, rushing, sustained drives and TOP matter. We do well and are improving on those. When we get better in the red zone the offense will be unstoppable.

That's a common sense idea but with Geno Smith getting paid a lot of money with no out until 27, he probably sets for a year limiting the advantage of bringing in Thuney. Plus I see no way BJ is disturbing our OL after just getting a good one.

Doubt that happens this year but with the connections, very possible for next year. I didn't realize he was 27. Al Harris can change his luck around.
