I think the JJ signing is the only big money deal we do. I think a few around 10 mil deals could still be out there. Most will be 4-8 mil deals. Billings, Walker, type deals. I posted an article that addressed what monies might be paid. Curtis Samuel is best friends with DJ and is projected at around 5 mil a year range. Something like that could happen right away because he may want to be here.

This is a good article about free agency. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/39676161/2024-nfl-offseason-free-agency-best-players-available-contract-rankings-bill-barnwell

I think because you don't want Justin here, you look at things from that point of view. There's been no info put out there leaning one way or another coming from Poles. Like Swifty said, no one has guessed right what Poles will do. The most likely thing to happen is, we draft Caleb, I even agree with that although it may not be my first choice. After that it's up in the air. Their is no other rookies that appear to be the real deal, different opinions out there on that.

This is the season of misinformation. No one tells the truth right now. The reporters are the ones projecting Fields gone. Nothing has come from Poles. Warren did say he wants Justin back, but he's not making the decision. Adam hit it right on the mark, until he's gone he is the second most likely odds he's staying after drafting Williams.

We should know with in a week where Poles is headed. Their might be some people surprised.

Most so called experts don't have a good track record at being right. Simms appears to be more accurate

The case for Julian Blackmon (26) Played for Flus in Indy Played with JJ in Utah Only missed 3 games to injuries while in the NFL Valued at 7.2 mil by OTC 2023- 88 Ts- 9 PD- 4 int-2 FF-4.3% missed T rate. 4.52 40 time same as EJAC He's not costing big money. 4-30 mil? The top FSs will! command big contracts.

Also Poles tried to get Brian Allen when he went back to LA he was injured but was top 5 rated at the time. I can see Poles giving him a 5 mil one year deal to prove himself. Bates is the backup plan.

JPJ will be awesome but don't think we have a chance at him. Zack Frasier is a 4 time state wrestling champion. Power and unbelievable skills. I hope we can get him.

I don't think teams will go after Fields until their draft plans and free agency are done. Someone is not ending up with a QB, that's when the market develops. Unfortunately its fantasy football to think we would get a one for him, two is probably fair depending on how many teams still need a QB.

Slow process to build a team thru the draft, Poles said 4 years. He's going to get more draft picks.Add some cheap free agents (Blingings and Edwards) and will have a winning team.

To be fair to him there were quality players he tried to sign.but failed getting. For the most part we seen his backup plan. This year he gives more quality depth to go with starters.

I've beenwatching hours of tape on him and he could be literally generational talent. My only concern is wanting to be treated special and how that translates to the NFL. As a rookie, he more than likely needs time to get up to speed. DCs will design defenses to counter him, great players everywhere and the fan base will be brutal if he takes a few years to develop. Does he have the stomach to handle that?

No matter what happens at the QB spot. Caleb, Derek, Jaylon , JJ or Justin great things are happening with the Bears. Jump in with your opinions we welcome new voices here.

That's going to happen very soon and we can all relax and enjoy the wins coming this year.

He's been playing with it for two years. To his defense, he offered Joe Noteboom and Brian Allen a contract in his first year and tried to get Bates, failed on all accounts. Drafted Braxton Jones. His backup plans didn't work out.

Adjusted cap space is 38 mil after the rookie pool and in year money.

If Kap is your example of proper behavior, you may want to look at other videos he has out there. I can send you 40 videos of football people suggesting we keep Fields but that would be wasted time. You're not changing your mind and I'm not changing mine. When Poles makes his choices, I will move on from Fields. If he chooses Fields we will hear about Williams every week because you won't accept it. If he chooses Williams, I'll be all in on that. If we draft Williams, I hope you're right about everything, I don't need to do that while I still have the opportunity to have a different opinion. It's getting closer to not having an argument anymore.

Poles will answer lots of questions by the decision he makes. If he drafts Williams or a different QB, I'm all in in that. He is fully venting his choices fans and writers don't.

Finally, we have common ground. I totally respect your opinion with the keep no keep Justin. It's your condescending and disrespectful attitude because someone doesn't agree wit you . People aren't ganging up on you, they just don't like you telling them their a cult, stupid, silly. .Just stop getting personal. People know you can't stand me, I wouldn't be comfortable if you did, you don't have to keep bringing me up every time someone doesn't like your disrespect them. Odds of Justin being here are slim but still an option on the table. Until he's traded or the first pick is traded it's a heated topic. Its not just here but every where,. Great things going with the bears right now, let's enjoy that.

On a lighter note, Justin Simmons got released by Denver. There are a lot of good safeties available , who can we get for a 10 mil type of deal? He's not over paying for anyyone.

The NFL is a composite of huge egos and JJ having a great year pushed him up the ladder. He's on the SCORE weekly during the season and he's a good guy, he signed because it's a good deal and players are realizing Poles won't over pay. Plus he wanted to be here, on to the next story.

If we're going to have peace on here, stop bringing my name up every time you have to defend your remarks.

In the last 20 years only Peyton Manning has won a SB as a elite prospect. That's not chump change . . It's a little hard to pretend that's a random stat. The morale of the story , more have been busts than great with the first pick of the draft. Not to say you can't get a good QB there but it's not set in stone.

Very fair deal for both. We knew Poles wasn't setting the market with JJ, to many nagging injuries and only TOs came this year. That's a good sign he's going to try to win this year instead of pushing the wins down the road. We have to keep in mind they project the cap to go up by 50 mil next year. The QB money is pushing cap up every year.
