Demarco Jackson has been resigned. 7.5 mil with incentives up to 10.5 mil. 2 years. I assume they bring in a rookie to compete. May not be a top pick.

Not sure they are going to use pick 60 on a situational player that may never be more than that. Great off the ball but the draft profiles said he can't get off blocks. Booker is 6' 5 " and close to 260 lbs now . Romello don't have the frame to add weight, 250 would probably be the best he can do.. He will be 25 by training camp and has 32 1/4 " arms. Booker has 33 3/4 arms. Booker was projected as a situational player that may never be full time. Not sure they want 2 of those. He could be outstanding but more as a 3-4 fit. Most project to early 2nd round .

Other than signing our own free agents, I don't see a lot of movement until the second wave kicks in. That's going to make some fans unhappy.

Poles said he wasn't going to make a big splash in free agency. That was just rumors by pundits about Maxx. After last year with the big spending in free agency, they just don't have the money anymore. They will open up money to do what they need to in restructures. They will sign 2nd tier players. Bradbury is an example of screwd cap moves.

Here's a draft that I traded back twice and took BPA until the last few rounds according to their rankings.

Keep track of the name Jamaree Salyer as a possible LT signing for the bears. He will come cheap and can play 4 positions on the OL as the temporary LT until Ozzy comes back. He's PFF grades aren't good but he at least can fill a need as a depth piece. I only bring his name up because Poles is always full of surprises.

Adam Hoge was sighting a story about the edge rushers with the highest paid salaries currently, maybe top 10, has never won a Superbowl. He used Parsons as the example, 16.7% of the salary cap. Crosby is getting 12.7% I suspect the point was , it's not worth the investment. Make your own conclusion.

We finally signed another player, Daniel Hardy is coming back on a 2 yr deal.

I saw where GB extended their center at 11 mil a year. He was 40th out of 40 in pass blocking grade. 5 penalties and 2 sacks with 27 hurries in 887 snaps. Poles got a great deal with Bradbury at 5.7 mil.

A lot of good names but Romello doesn't fit DAs size for DE. At 60 there should have been a better scheme fit. We never know how the bear's draft board aligns with the consensus, but at BPA, AJ could get taken there. In that simulator can you do trades? PFSN allows you to do that. I expect Poles to trade a couple of times during the draft. History tells us that.

Great news.

Good point

He gave up 33 pressures last year but if we can get him for 10- mil, I'm in. LT is a premium position and people get overpaid all the time.

Kahil Mack just got paid 18 mil for 1 year. Free agents are not going to be cheap. It may be just the draft unless someone like Cam Jordan wants to be here.

If there are several teams fighting over Tyler he's making a lot more than 15 mil. Competition always escalates contracts. With as many spots we have to fill, I don't think they're spending big at any position. Bradbury type moves. With several times talking to Byard, we could easily move on from him if he's offered 12+ , Cam Curl got 13 mil a year.
