Most big contracts to free agents for WRs aren't usually worth it. 2021 FA WRs making over10 mil a yr. Golladay 18 mil Cory Davis 12.5_mil Cutris Samuel 11.5 mil Nelson Agholor 11 mil Will Fuller 10 mil. None of them were worth the money. More money doesn't always mean big production.

When I say thrifty, I mean he ain't going after D K Metcalf and paying 28 mil a year. Spending 14.5 mil for Ogunjobi, A younger player in his prime with upside is the example. With a full draft he will build through the draft and target a few . People like Morrow, Pringle, could be signed to long term deals.

I think a lot of people he brought in will get second contracts. I also think we seen how he handles it with the Ogunjobi signing, it is a high money contract but will not be outrageous. Example paying 10 mil to MVS and Kirk getting 17 mil a yr. He will target some players to add but will not be the premium contracts. He's not going to start his career being thrifty and then pull a Ryan Pace and sign Quinn to a huge contract. Absolutely think he is doing it the right way, even thou Im impatient enough to not see it that way.

We get first hand to see what Monty can do in this offense, maybe not be a speedster but could still be productive. By using next gen stats, Herbert was 4th in the league at 20.88 mph Monty was 5th at 20.80 mph. Everything is not always based on 40 times. The fastest player in the league is Ross/ WR , how productive is he?

Realistically a 10-15 rated RB. He would be worth signing in a 7-8 mil range. Since our offense will resemble SF more than GB, I think, they have proven plug in and play multiRBs works. I think he is a team leader and to let him walk would be a negative. I can't think of any big contracts for RBs that has not been a failure. The price is the key. Am I messed up to think we can be a good team? I'm thinking 9 maybe 10 wins. I guess that is more average than good but with all the negative projections, A winning team at least. I see what Poles thinks he got Pringle-Jones-Patrick-Morrow- Brisker-Gordon as all good players instead of just backup types. I think the D will be top 10 and Fields taking a step forward which will make this at least a average offense. With good special teams, A winning team. Change my mind

Agree on all accounts.

I was getting bored, I actually watched a highlight film for David Montgomery today, A good football player.

I haven't heard him mentioned in any camp talk. I didn't expect much from Gipson at first, but he's turned into a player. Hopefully a few surprises happen.

There has been so much negative press(mainly do to not grabbing a OL or WR with its first two picks) that the general theme is we have no talent, this is ridiculous. Our defense could be top 10 . Flus has showed those results were ever he has coached. Here he starts with one of the better pass rushes in the league. Our offense has questions but if Fields is the real deal , he has plenty of targets.

That's where Darius Leonard plays for the Colts, premium position in Flus defense.

It could be just him not being in shape up to what they might have wanted him to be. I doubt if its because he dont hustle. Doesnt mean anything right now. Also Brisker and Gordon are the real deal. Constantly making plays. A podcast with Jahns and Hoge that were at practice and were surprised with Morrow on how fast he is. Also praised the fullback Blasingame. Also noted how well built Pringle is at 6'1". Everyone is praising Gordon and Brisker. How great would that be if they end up being all pro type of players. Barring injuries we should be close to a top 10 defense with the added speed and D-backs.

Websites are waiting to comment for sake of such a serious accusation whether there is any actual truth to it. I seen it on Twitter and of course you have to be careful with junk from Twitter. I seen it on a prominent NFL writer twitter. The fact she claims to have did a rape kit with his DNA as proof was in Feb, and you dont hear anything about it until May should tell you the all you need to know. Why would South African officials wait to deal with this? It would have been headlines in Feb. I think it is all bullshit.

There obviously a problem or someone else would have signed him. Hopefully his condition gets better and then we can sign him.

Clearly the logical stance is to let it play out. He never has come across as a loose cannon, but you never know who people are. I hope not but no one knows. Like you said, even his they had consensual sex, that doesnt mean he raped her. The truth generally wins in these matters. Without doing much research the girl comes across as a sensationalizer by her social media content. Having been a world traveler (26 countries) if a persons is looking for action, it is quite easy to find.

A South African girl accused Roquan Smith of rape on a trip he made to South Africa this winter. She claims to have DNA evidence and pictures. Pictures of being together doesnt prove anything but DNA samples could be deadly.

Not sure where to stick this but seen an interview with Morgan the OL coach that stated he likes Borom a lot and was his idea to move him to LT. Also it was mentioned that in his last yr in college, he did not allow a QB pressure, the only OT in college football that yr to do that. He played for Missouri in the SEC . That's a big deal.

Pringle signed a one year deal, if that doesn't motivate you to play better, might as well quit football.

I think the best trait Justin has going for him, is he works hard to do his work. Not everyone has that desire. When covid hit the Big 10 they said they were cancelling the season. He personally took it on himself for them to change their mind.

That's a good article. Actually with all that I look at have never seen Bears Digest before. Now I am hearing all this noise about Quinn wanting to be traded. I think it is a joke. They never sight a source where he stated that. The day before the draft he was interviewed and told the reporter, (he hoped he didnt get traded). Why has this changed? No source given. If someone wanted to be trade , the draft is the most logical time to say that and for it to happen. Any contender that needed a edge rusher drafted one. Cant believe so many writers have bought in to this. Players with their egos always want to be the dog on the defense. With Mack gone, he's the man here.

Pettis is a long shot. He is capable of being a playmaker but other than his first yr, he has no production. I figure there are several WRs that are step up or step out type of tryouts this year. David Moore is another that has showed some production but has no been consistent every where he went. As much as E St Brown has the size and speed they need, he has never had production. Mooney Pringle Jones III ( E St Brown-Moore-Pettis-Sharpe-Newsome-Coulter) 3 of these are out, Newsome is only a slot WR, I think he is gone. Coulter has some size and speed but probably not happening. Sharpe is a no brainer to me, he has some game even thou he's not a burner. St Brown , Moore, and Pettis can play the X but one of them are gone. If Pettis takes a step forward he has the speed. David Moore had 13 TDs in 3 yrs at the #3 WR which is formable. St Brown Sharpe Moore He has been more consistent than Pettis and has 4.38 speed.

I agree with everything you said. I think it's not the organization that promoted this. I think it falls on Poles and Flus that wanted to do this. They didn't do it under Pace and Nagy with George still running the Bears. Every good player that has played here for a long are bearized. Olin , Briggs, Brown, ect. are still pro bears.

The reason I think they can be successful early is the unknown, the preseason games will be all the tape out there. I think , unlike Nagy, they will keep it in the scope of where Fields is at in his development. Not try to overload him . Frist we will run the ball to set up the passing game instead of forgetting about the run. We now have speed so that changes how defenses will defend us. This video will show you truths about our WR group.

I have seen some football people saying our offense will resemble SF more than GB. They are similar.

There is a lot of questions on this team, I get the caution, but there are some national writers saying we could only win two games. That is ridiculous. Now if Fields is a total failure, then I will say less than 6 . I think he takes a step forward not backward so I looking at the positives. We only have three games against elite QBs, Rodgers twice and Josh Allen. I dont think Tau or Hurts are special QBs. Carson Wentz doesnt scare me. We have handled Cousins many times. I think for most of the games Fields will end up being the best QB on the field, that gives us a chance. They won 6 games last yr, that is who they are until they show us different. I dont get at how people can be Bears fans and not look at the positive side in the moves they have made, instead of being doomsday critics. The fact is none of us know how this turns out until they start playing games. It is a lot more fun thinking they (might) be good instead of a 2 game winning team.

Some people complained that we didnt resign Daniels, but he gave up 39 pressures last year and was the 62 ranked OG by PFF. He didnt play as well as people think he did. Also Whitehair was consistently the best OL but had a bad year last year. He should be back to a solid starter category this year. Duane Brown and Eric Fisher are still out there so if Poles isnt confidante enough in Borom, I think he will get one. In a lot of the tape he showed they had 4 WRs sets. I dont think we will have much of that with young OTs. As AZ mentioned I guess St Brown could be that extra blocker they will need but most the sets are all outside with wideouts.
