Do we have to wait until the free agency period or can we resign our own free agents anytime?

Lots of positions to fill for 10 new coaches but GB was probably the most likely if he left. So far so good.

I don't think it would be worth it but it is the going rate for similar type players.

I agree, he would probably fetch a 3rd at best, likely a 4th. *IF* the plan is to move on from DJ, its like cutting him, and if you can get something for him, cool. Thats why all the arguments are about cap room, and not also about adding a player on D with the pick for example.

right on Grizz

Ouch. You know where I stand on DJ (I’m totally with you) but if they get a third rounder for him that would be a pretty good deal. After all Monangai was a 7th rounder and Walker was a UDFA. 🤷🏻‍♂️

To this I couldn’t agree more.

Adam, thank you once again for all the stuff you post. I learn more from you and the stuff you share than most other place combined. Theres a lot of crap on this board, but your contributions make it so valuable. Thank you!

Amen and thank God Al Harris isnt the new Packers DC.

AMEN - we need accountability, not these soft emotional fan boys.

thats faulty logic since I saw him jogging every week. I saw it with my own eyes. TTNL saw it and commented on it too. Youre alleging that BJ didnt see it? I doubt that highly. He sees everything. You just want to protect DJ for some emotional reason.

Flores may never get another chance to be a HC. He burned a major bridge with his lawsuits. He was completely justified in doing so to but the billionaire boys club has different rules. After Jon Gruden gets done with them, they may lock ranks and never hire anyone who may be a threat again.

Next up is the East-West Shrine and Senior Bowls. Just over 6 weeks until Free Agency opens and under 3 months until the draft. January 27th - East-West Shrine Bowl January 31st - Senior Bowl February 17th-March 3rd - Franchise Tag Window February 23rd-March 2nd - NFL Combine March 9th-11th - Legal Tampering Period March 11th - Free Agency Officially Opens April 20th - Clubs with returning head coaches can begin offseason workout programs April 23rd-25th - NFL Draft May 1st - Designate 5th-year options from 2023 Draft (Wright) May 1st or 8th - Rookie Minicamp

Detroit hires Petzing as their OC and GB hires Gannon as their DC. ARZ's defense was one of the worst in the NFL over the last 3 years finishing 29th, 15th, and 31st in pts while the offense was not much better finishing 23rd, 12th, and 24th. Considering GB is going from Hafley to Gannon; that is a huge downgrade in coaching. Gannon benefitted from a stacked roster in PHI which he will not have in GB, nor did he have in ARZ. DET let go their OC that had the 4th highest scoring offense for one that had the 23rd. Are they going to have Petzing use their current offensive scheme or will they change to his? Either way that is a downgrade. Now the last domino is hopefully Flores. MIN did extend him as their DC, but there are still HC vacancies left. I don't know if he announced that he would not take any of those jobs but BUF, LVR, ARZ, and CLE are still open.

He kinda had to play him this year. DJ being the incumbent leader/elder statesman of the WR room, had a lot of clout with the youngsters. BJ simply couldn't come in and eviscerate the captain. That's why the off-season body language thing came out delicately played. Now that BJ and Randall El have established their trust with the players DJ's influence doesn't carry the weight. In the meantime lesser weapons got the "no block, no rock" treatment. (Burden,Walker, Loveland). Time means a lot. Going forward, Loveland, Burden and Walker enter their second pro year needing more targets. Let alone Rome entering the beginning of his prime. The combination of the above make DJ expendable. We need one of the above to accept the crown. If they need to find that dog, they can get a hungry vet cheaply in free agency. At the end of the day, we want an Amon Ra type to be our leader. (No plays off). Plays off are for the sideline...

BJ won't play you if you don't show effort in blocking, DJ played every game so that tells me he didn't have a problem with DJs effort. I'm on BJs Twitter account, I'll send him a link to Phil's channel.

Anytime productive players get second contracts, they get overpaid unless they do TJ Edwards type contracts. He is in a WR prime years at 28, he's not old. If they decide their good without him and can find a trade, I'm okay with it but haven't got that impression from the exit speeches. If they wait until until 2027, it will be a lot easier Cap hit. I also heard today that Crosby had his 8th knee surgery. Doubt they take that risk with the money involved and giving up 2 #1s.

The only reason, if they do, is to boost the defense. We were very lucky this season and play a stronger schedule. If the Bears repeat the heroic comebacks again then its destiny, but I wouldnt count on it. Moore is valuable but for 27.5 mil, maybe not that much. That's your nfls top 10-12. Can they sacrifice defensive performance another year will be up to Poles and what the league feels about having Moore.

because Odunze and Burden need more snaps, and you have to believe in your guys and go forward assuming they will grow. DJ takes snaps away from our core future players.

Signing a mid level free agent is fine, it doesnt have to be Braxton. There will be many other choices.

Every week on the TTNL game wrapup they showed film of DJ jogging routes. I saw it with my own eyes every week. Its just true.

If it's true that DJ was taking plays off all year, does anyone honestly think BJ would be playing him? He watches tape 10 times more than we do. Walker would have been getting snaps. Burden wasn't getting a lot of snaps until he blocked better. BJ notices everything.

No matter any fans opinion, we will see in real time if the Bears value him. I don't like the idea of getting rid of a good player untill you can see Rome healthy and Burden growing one more year. They can restructure his contract for cap space. When it's time to pay Caleb, we will see him gone when he contract has marginal less dead space. I doubt he will bring more than a 3rd rounder and wouldn't make the contribution DJ would next year. Why take a step backwards?

It could be our cheapest option at this point, resign Braxton if they don't draft a first round LT.
