I’d be fine if they’re going best available in the 2nd Rd and that turns out to be a good LB. Bears = LB

He gets another shot and an offseason to work with Roushar unlike last year. He missed mini camp, OTAs, and most of training camp, so I expect some improvement will be seen. I recall he practiced right, but game time he resorted back to what cost him his position. That was blasted on TV from BJ, so he knows what needs fixin.

As much as the fans dislike Dayo, the Bears think and feel different about him. I think we will have a better idea on DAs defense once he has his players. His scheme relies a lot on the back 7 for confusing and attacking the QB. Devin Bush becomes one of those threats at Will and I wouldnt be shocked to see the Bears draft a Mike round 2 like Josiah Trotter or Jacob Rodriguez since a strong Mike helped Bush elevate his game this last season and Edward's may never be the same.

His hands are always late and off target.

I seen that the Bears ran a lot of wide front, so not much of a need for a NT but 2 - 3Ts. Looking at Allen's DTs in his best Saints years, they averaged 6'2" 310#, everyone of them were in that range. So if this is his philosophy, then Jarrett 6'1 295, Gallimore 6'2 305, Sherman Turner 6-3 293 if a dt are in that range. Dexter is a little longer and heavier, 6'6 325. I might change who the Bears target with tonight's digging.

I think Brisker will be back and DB is a huge position of need still. But overall pretty please with today’s outcome.

As I look at this list, none of the pundits predicted any of our signing except Braxton coming back. So much for inside information.

I keep hearing Dayo is working towards being back at training camp. For better or for worse, he's one of the DL positional players. Haven't heard anything about Turner but both could be figured in their plans.

We were never in on Tyler, at the Combine, I believe they knew what kind of money the top 3 were asking for that forced the trade for Bradbury. Smart move by Poles. It allowed us to fill other spots.

Billings played NT, he's getting his snaps. For now depending on who they draft Jarrett is 3 t but where does Dexter go? The high rated DTs are all NTs, McDonald, Banks. Did I get that right?

I know this is minimal but before Braxton broke his leg, he had 3 games in a row as the top rated LT in pass blocking. That was a long time ago but I trust BJ and Poles to know.

I hear ya, and for $5M, it doesnt bother me. But I dont believe he will ever be an excellent LT. I would LOVE to be wrong.

Jones and Wright are working out together with Arik Armstead who was an athletic freak. He says watch out for Jones, he will be a different player. I think Poles is paying attention. Jones was a plus run blocker, he has the size to pass block, but needs strength and footwork to handle the bull. If he adds enough strength to improve, the skys the limit

Billings was a NT tho, and everything I read earlier said that Gallimore was a NT too? If he's a 3T thats really good news, it's just new to me. Also, I'll take this moment to remember another Bear named Gallimore, Willie Gallimore who is an underrated HB for us who was really really good, and also the reason why my icon is a jersey with the number 28 - that was Gallimore's This was back when we all had jerseys with numbers if you remember the old board. A lot of us have been here a LONG time

If it's $5M + $5M Im Ok with it. I personally think he is deeply flawed as a LT, but if it's only $5M for depth I guess it's OK with me. I mean not that anyone but me cares about that, but still that's where Im at with it. I hope Benedet beats him out in camp, or we draft a rookie or something else happens.

Agree it looks like that. If Brisker doesn't get any offers, you think they bring him back for cheap one year deal?

This tells me they expect Ozzy back. They tried Braxton's bonus to game starts. It's a win win. Cheap option, Decker will be getting a big payday by what other players are getting. Braxton gets to play for a big payday next year. OL Coach literally told us this in an interview.

He will get Billings snaps. They will draft a DT to put Jarrett as the rotational player.

Gallimore is taking Billings spot who clearly lost a step or two and some strength.

The Bears came into today with starter needs at LT, DT, Edge, LB, and 2x Safety. At worst, they addressed LB and one Safety, have placeholders in at LT and DT, leaving Edge and the other Safety spots left to address. It feels like DT and Edge will be addressed in 2 of the top 3 picks. Safety by the 4th round.

A pretty low risk move. The Bears know exactly what they have and understand his health better than anyone.

Totally good with this. I think I saw it is 5M with another 5M in incentives based upon starts. Good move and Jones should have a ton of motivation to parlay a healthy offseason into a big season into a big pay day (and eventually a comp pick for the bears :))

Glad he is back to be that mentor or #2, but not sure Bagent gets traded unless Arizona really wants him. They did sign Menshaw.

Bears sign Braxton to a 1 year deal.

Case Keenum resigned. 2 yr $5.5 million. Evidently now Bagent is more expendable.
