I seen something on X this morning that the Bears have turned down 5ths and want a 4th.

Exactly. If the Bears were offered Simmons from TN, you better believe the Bears interest would change. Trading for a pick would not be considered unless they get a 2nd or better. Like Bagent, the Bears would not part with him for a 4th or lower. I say a 2nd, but maybe theyd take a higher 3rd.

What I saw from Biggs is that the Bears are not interested in trading Dexter. Not that other teams don’t want him. Biggs further said that it’s as simple as not wanting to create another hole on the roster at a position of need.

Three players for Monty kills me. If we were predicting jump cuts per game, it would be a better number. And what the hell are the Texans doing? It seems like they're intentionally trying to kill Stroud.

He's better than those LBers but the best would be a 4 th if a couple of teams might fight over him.

Seen where Rapport corrected his post. Detroit got Juice Scruggs/ OL, a 4th and 7th. Quite the haul. Makes me wonder what Swift would bring back.

Poles wants more picks and would love to do that. Heard talk about the rumor of people wanting Dexter and Brad Biggs said those were false reports. Of all the local reporters, he always seems to have the best information. I don't trust any national media.

You ARE the stat man. LOL I gotta admit that's a very well reasoned and researched argument. I was making a gut call based on his age, his measurables, and assuming he will agree to a lower extension. But I did no research on comparables. So i feel the market for him heating up a bit, but my guess as to what that means in terms of rounds was just out of the air. If had known what you put here, I'd still feel his market heating up, but Id have had a better understanding of what that meant in terms of actual draft value. Thanks for this, you've convinced me!

I think it will depend on Edmunds contract demands. Is he wants big money terms will back off. If he’s taking second tier money we might get a 4th.

I could only find 3 trades that involved ILBs since Roquan was traded. This is who was traded and what they went for: Ernest Jones - 5th Kenneth Murray - 6th Isiah Simmons - 7th Interestingly enough, Jones was also traded in season that year for a 4th. Seeing that there hasn't been an off ball LB traded for more than a 5th, and considering Edmunds's salary, and lack of personal accolades (Pro Bowl, All-Pro), I don't think he would go for more than a 5th unless the Bears threw in a 7th or another player.

After thinking about this for a bit, at the very least this should help drive up the price for Edmunds and Moore. That’s assuming teams have legit interest and aren’t just bargain hunting.

I’d love to have Maxx but the price is likely too high.

sure, but Im wondering if we might even do better?!

Monty traded for a 5th. Will be interesting to see how he looks with a worse offensive line.

Just wanted a catch all thread for non-Bears related moves of interest.

👀

They all should change their numbers too, confuse everyone.

If they get a 5th or something like that, I will be extremely happy.

I agree with all of this. Cant wait to see how it happens.

I think we might be surprised with multiple teams interested. It wont be a 1st or anything like that, but we might do better than expected.

So the Bears end up with a DL of Sweat, Sweat, Jarrett, Sweat? 🤣 I like it.

That would be phenomenal with this draft class. It's deep at all of our needs...

Up

I'm up for whatever the bears decide to do as far as trade people, cut people but what is realistic? In a situation with no cap space, we are in different scenario than last year. We can't just overhaul the defense with no money. When you trade or cut someone we have to replace them. In the case of DJ we have some backups but we don't with Dexter. If you're telling me 3 rookie DTs is better than having Dexter as one on the field isn't realistic. He's not a star but he's not chump change either. We have to draft 2 DTs with Dexter here and now we need 3 replacements and add to the DE room? We don't have enough high picks or cap money to do that. In saying all of this I'm not in love with Dexter, it's just about realistically what we can get done in one year.
