Miami traded #3 to SF for #12, 2021 3rd, and SF's First Rounders in 2022 and 2023. Miami then traded #12 and their 2022 first-rounder to Philadelphia for #6 So it ends up almost like a 3-team deal: Miami trades #3 and their 2022 1st for #6, 2021 3rd, 2022 1st (SF), 2023 1st (SF). Philadephia trades #6 for #12 and 2022 1st (MIA) SF trades #12, 3rd Rounder, 2 future 1sts for #3

With all his bad decisions in drafting and FA we are now trying to improve by cutting good players because our cap situation sucks. Replace bad draft picks . Pace plan to get fired in 2021 Andy Dalton OL Leno -Whitehair-Mystifer-Daniels- IFedi resigned TE Keep Graham WR AROB tag and then lose him WR Not resign Patterson Get rid of Skrine-Fuller-Hicks Yet to fill spots at S, at CB and DT Sign Edwards and Blackson DRAFT 1) Tyson Campbell/CB 2) Terrance Marshall/WR 3) Marvin Wilson/DT 5) Kellen Mond/QB 6) Tommy Doyle/OT 6) Tril Williams/SS 6) Ambry Thomas/ CB

Lawsuit No. 14 calls Watson a 'serial predator': https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31120815 Wow if this is even partially true, this guy is done.

Bears sign Attaochu, I'm assuming he replaces Mingo as Edge3.

On NFL.com there is an article that Miami has cut Isaiah Wilson whom they received from Tennessee in a recent trade. Wilson was a 1st pick with Tennessee and his draft profile projected him as a RT prospect. Wilson might be claimed well before the Bears can pick him up at 20 but there seems to be some character issues such as not attending meetings. There are some issues with the police but if the culture in the building is as fantastic as Pace and Nagy say could this help Wilson get back on track. Wilson must be as good or better as Germaine Ifedi so worth a punt. Probably signs with the Patriots as becomes a quality starting RT.

Roster construction is all about bang for your buck. How can you squeeze the most out of the least while staying under the cap. At the end of the day, production has to match the pay in order to field a winning team. Based on 2020 cap hit and AV, here were the top 10 most productive players per dollar last year: David Montgomery Tashaun Gipson Bilal Nichols Darnell Mooney Jaylon Johnson Cairo Santos Brent Urban Barkevious Mingo Anthony Miller Roquan Smith The worst values were Skrine and Demetrius Harris, but interestingly enough the next 3 players that had cap hit over $1M and an AV below 10 were: Foles Fuller Graham The bi…

Off to the Bills https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31087811/buffalo-bills-mitch-trubisky-agree-1-year-deal

Bears get an extra 6th for Shaheen, bumped up from a 7th, they now have 4 picks in the 6th and 8 overall: 1st - 20th 2nd - 52nd 3rd - 83rd 4th - None 5th - 164th 6th - 204th, 208th, 221st, 228th 7th - None

Disappointed with this, understand the need for cap space but might have been better to cut Hicks because there is still a lot of dead money.

If the Bears signed Golladay and kept ARob, the Bears would have a top 5 WR Corps with ARob, Golladay, Mooney, and Miller. Even if they cut or traded Miller for cap space, they would still be very solid. Add Montgomery, Cohen, and Kmet, and you have a really solid offense. The Fuller move would feel much better if the Bears got Golladay and kept ARob because they would essentially be transferring cap from CB to WR, which I am fine with.

Media is just hammering the Bears over the Dalton deal.. Even out local radio guy here in Nebraska is disheartened. It's just a sad time to be a Bears fan. ugh.

Bears sign Blackson, rotational guy on line. I hope he is not a Hicks replacement.

Ok, so take this like all stories this time of year with a grain of salt, but apparently the Bears have inquired about Trent Williams. And even if it's true, it could just be doing due diligence. https://heavy.com/sports/chicago-bears/interest-offensive-lineman-trent-willaims/?fbclid=IwAR1LOSDXHaWrIgYiWf7osnv9F2ZsDq678-GGZ7Y96l2vSTVrla9jKg5SQ5o But I hope and pray that it at least means that they realize that Leno isn't the answer. Whatever solution that may come later, Williams or not, I truly hope they finally see what has been painfully obvious to me for several years now, which is that the guy simply cannot play football at a professional level, and bears at…

Dak is locked up. Houston is not taking offers for Desean. Russell gives his team a 39 mil cap hit if he's traded. My assumption is they are out of the equation for us. That leads me to this question: who is a better solution than Trubisky? Take into consideration style of play and system compatibility, along with supporting cast.

The Franchise Tag's deadline is tomorrow. The new league year starts on March 17th (next Wednesday), so the Bears will have to get under the cap by that date. If they tag ARob, they would have to shed a ton of salary to get under the cap in a week. The only options I see are the following: 1. Franchise Tag and renegotiate a long-term deal to lessen the cap hit in 2021. 2. Tag and trade 3. Let him go to free agency, but still work a deal with him 4. Let him go, don't pursue

Patterson's tweet indicates the Bears have informed him he is not coming back.

SiriusXM mentioned that Russell Wilson has pushed for a trade and mentioned teams he’s interested in. The Raiders were named; Carr could be in play?

The math can begin.

That is a lot of money for an RB. He is now the 6th highest paid RB, behind McCaffrey, Kamara, Elliott, Cook, and Henry. I never saw him in that group. GB is at least $12M over the cap, so expect a lot of restructuring or cuts before Wednesday.

Another QB slot that needs to be filled. I don't think they will have Hill as the starter, so Winston? They have cap issues. It will be interesting.
