He had 7 sacks the previous year, so getting a player that knew the system and had decent production seemed like a logical move. It didn't work out. Harry was drafted in the first round by the Patriots, sometimes moves don't work out. The most important thing is Poles doesn't marry players, if they don't produce, goodbye. ESB was brought in last year because of a connection with Getsy. He got another contract by just being okay.

Wasn't sure where to stick this, so here we are. The Bears announced they are releasing All Quad in Muhammad. He never produced and Poles left an out. 1/2 mil dead money and we add almost 4 mil to the cap. We are going to see roster moves as Poles evaluates the roster.

I like OTC over spotrac, easier to navigate.

Maybe, lots of larger edges available in this draft. If we trade back a couple of times and end up with Tyree Wilson, I'm still a happy camper. lots of options when you have a # 1 pick. I trust Poles to evaluate talent. Him and Cunningham come from good drafting teams so I suspect they know what to look for. If we had Tyree Wilson, TreMont Jones, Siaki Ika, Will McDonald . I'm ecstatic

Anderson is as close a clone as you can get to Micah Parsons. Anyone here saying they wouldn't take Parsons because he lacks the size to play DE in this scheme?

We have a year to find out how good Fields will be. Logically we should have 2 1st rounders next year, if we need to move up to grab A QB. Fields will take a leap forward.

Granted, neither did Josh Allen. I don't think his release is slow , I think his decision to when he needs to throw it is the problem. Lack of trust in WRs makes him hesitate on his throws. I think he waits for WRs to get open more and takes to long to decide to throw. He improved this year but has a lot farther to go. Highlight films are sometimes misleading because it shows his good decisions but watch them anyways because it shows you what he is capable of.

I also think Payne doesn't make free agency. Here is our best DT options. https://youtu.be/DEjJid36Emw

He totally ain't trading Justin. All these so called experts suggesting that is just for attention. No one is offering 4 first round picks for him either.

JSN is my favorite choice but don't believe Poles would take him in the first round. Payne is a talent but look who he plays with Sweat, Young , and Allen. Is his production because of the attention he doesn't get? Tremont Jones doesn't have anybody and is productive and will cost 10 mil less.

I could see Poles bringing in a RT and then going with Patrick or Kramer at C and drafting Mauch. Then if that fails make Mauch the OC. I seen where a bear scout said to Briggs that the bears have 2 players rated higher at center than Schmitz. I believe that to be Mauch and Avila. Also don't count out Joe Tippmann as being a desirable get.

All the draftable Qbs are just ( might be good) prospects. Justin Fields has leadership , uncanny speed and power for a QB, great runner, strong arm, size and great work ethic. Young appears to be a good QB as far as skills, but his size leaves to many questions for durability. If your betting on futures , Justin is easily your best option. Poles is running with Fields and expects him to take a step up this year. Why would he want to build a culture and then tear it down by getting rid of your best leader? Sports journalists are just trying to get attention by suggesting we trade him.

Seen a story where after the senior bowl, we had private meetings with Mauch and Avelia ( OL). I can see us taking one of them with pick 54 or 63. I don't think they count on them to be a starter but ready if a starter fails.

The first step is who do we bring back before free agency starts? They jumped out on ESB but that was all besides some futures contracts. That means they are evaluating upgrades at all positions. Still could bring back a few but must not be sold on our current free agents.

I think OL and DL are totally his purpose this year. He came from KC and Cunningham came from Philly. I think it's a priority to fix the OL in free agency and let the draft take care of DE and DT . They will draft someone like Cody Mauch that can play anywhere on the OL . That way if injury or poor play comes into play they can plug him in. There are several OCs and RTs available this year in FA. So to get him it has to be in the second round by pick 54. So if we have 2 picks before that they will be DT and DE. We could upgrade everywhere but the strength of the draft is Edge so there we be a lot of options.

His first year was a total waste of time. His rookie season was last year under good coaching. This will be the year he makes a jump. No way he's drafting a 5'10" QB to replace Fields.

I don't think any GM has enough information to know who they want to draft right now. By a week before the draft there will be a mad rush to get that pick.

There has been many Bulldogs that have been successful. Just because ones didn't work out here shouldn't be a negative. My problem with Carter is his lack of production. To be a stud talent, I prefer a productive player. Will Anderson is that kind of stud.

Look at how jacked up NO cal has been for yrs and they still got players signed somehow. If they want to keep him, they will.

Not sure any team that's drafting a QB is gives WRs away in a trade. The most realistic trade I've seen to drop to 2 is, pick 2, A second round pick and a future 2024 pick.If we drop farther down, they will add more pics obviously. Now if one QB stands out at the combine. It will cause a bidding war but all these outlandish trades are pretty unrealistic. If we can trade down twice, probably 3 extra picks this year and a couple next year is it. Not everyone is as stupid as Pace was.

For Washington to become fluid with the cap, all they have to do is cut Wentz. No penalty. 1. Payne 2. Dremont Jones 3.Jason Hargrove 4. Zack Allen 5. Dalvin Tomilson 6. David Omyemata 7. A'Shawn Robinson The first 4 are 3 Ts the rest are NTs. We can get at least one.

Not sure an ACL tear isn't recoverable. I think once healthy, good to go. He's not a RB or WR.

I suspect we draft more than 2 DLs but can't find anything wrong with those players. Maybe more realistic than we know because Free agency comes first and some of those needs will be fixed. The A- is the right grade for that draft.

Starting today any players released are available to sign. As Adam mentioned, we are first on the waiver wire. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/lists/chicago-bears-offseason-dates-2023/

Seen a proposed trade with Washington that brought back Chase Young, Jahan Dobson/WR and a second round pick and future 2024 # 1 pick. Plus pick 15. Would you do that ? Why would Washington do that? Get a QB and would then have money to pay Payne.
