I think any contending team that needs a pass rusher will go through FAgeny and then the draft before they trade for an older expensive option to them. If a trades happens it will be during training camp not in free agency. Maybe someone gets injured or .didn't work out. I think its going to be hard to find a trade partner. They have to be a contending team, with a lot of cap space. As far as cutting them, they will try to win this year, I don't see it happening.

That would have 5 starters in that group. Wouldn't that be cool.

I'm in Thailand for the winter so I have a lot of free time to look at everything bears. No matter what order, the first two picks has to be WR and OL We need other positions , but the best chance to start are the picks at 39 and 71 . We can fill the D with free agents.

If he can get Daniels back at 6 to 7, I think he does it. Last yr was nothing special but he has gotten better every year. I'm not big on PFF but it is something to use for comparison . His rating was 70.3. In there metrics that was above average for his position. He's 24 very young for someone to be getting a second contract. Many people has said his best position is OC. When he played center originally he had problems with the line calls , not the physically of the position.If Poles believes he can excell there , that would be a cheap price going forward. Move Borom to RG or draft one, my choice would be to draft Zion Johnson if available. Like someone else suggested, the best scenario is a LT is at 39, draft him and shuffle the line now and let them grow. If the OT isn't ready yet bring back Peters for one year.

Firstpick.com has a good draft simulator. I think Zion is a good get even we don't trade back. I see a few trades but the simulators present that option to much. The big board on some of these sites are off. No way Watson makes it to 5th. I would love to get two WRs , Sky or Watson would be great.

I've seen they suggest 15, but I think he may have to take a little less, kind of like Beckham JR had to.

I don't think those values are realistic. Daniels will be 8 to 10. Hicks 5 to7, Robinson around 12. . No one is paying Mustifer or Bars that. Nichols is probably spot on.

Just seen where Anthony Hitchens, LB for KC was just released today. He was second on team in Ts. He played in Dallas when Eberflus was the DC. Sighed with KC on a money deal. Made 6.6 mil last year. Not sure If SAM or MLB. He's 29, maybe Matt would want him. Not a big TO guy. He played 53% of the snaps, must have not been part of the Nickel package. What say you?

Poles stated , his first task is to fix the oline. Signed for this year are Whitehair, Jenkins, Borom, Ty Wheatly, Dieter Eiselen , and Willie Wright. Whitehair. had an off year, but over the last 3 years has been our best lineman. Plus a big contract that doesn't allow the team to get out of it for one more year. Pencil him in at LG Jenkins will be playing LT or at RT depending on who we bring in . Borom will be RT or RG depending on who they bring in. FAgency could bring in LTs : Orlando Brown, Cam Robinson are under 27 and will be getting big contracts. Old dudes: Teven Armsted, Duane Brown Nate Solder, Riley Reiff, and Jason Peters. FAgency OC : Ryan Jensen, Brian Allen, Ben Jones, Ted Karras , Bradley Bozeman. FAgency RG: Brandon Scheff, Mark Glowinski, Trai Turner, Alex Cappa, and James Daniels. I didn't list LG or RT because we have players at those positions. There are a few LTs available, but I think the price tag will be to high. Option 1) Jenkins, Whitehair, Jensen, Draftee ( Zion Johnson or Darian Kinnard), Borom This option has us signing a FA center 3 choices. Jensen (12 mil), Brian Allen (7 mil), Karras (5 mil). Also it has us drafting a RG, Johnson and Kennard fall in the beginning of the 2nd round drafting rankings. Option 2) Draftee ( Bernhard Raimann or Trevor Penning) Whitehair, Daniels, Borom, Jenkins. In this option we resign Daniels, put at OC, and draft a LT prospect. Using CBS sports, big board for reference. Option 3) Jenkins, Whitehair, Ted Karras, Mark Glowinski, Borom. In this option he brings in 2 free agents , and draft a couple of OLs not in our first 2 picks. Karras and Glowinski are inexpensive options that had better than average years last year.. Option 4) Jason Peters, Whitehair, Brian Allen, Borom, Jenkins We resign Peters for one year ( 77.5 PFF rating) and draft a OT in the third round for us to develop for a year. Sean Ryan or Max Mitchell are ranked near that draft spot. Also sign Dennis Allen at a medium priced contract. There are many different combinations of FAs and draftees of which Poles could go. Until we figure out how he grades his existing players, had to pin down. Idea situation would be to sign Orlando Brown, and bring in a cheap option Ted Karras at OC. I just don't think he's bringing in a 20 mil FAgent. Jacob Infante suggested bring in Allen at OC and draft Zion Johnson for RG. I would be on board with that option. Allen is 27 and had 80 PFF rating. Rams have cap issues, probably won't match a high offer 7-8 mil range because of their cap. Free agents I like, Ryan Jensen, Brian Allen, Ted Karras, Alex Cappa, Moses Morgan, Orlando Brown, James Daniels.

Kamara played DT in college and I think with his pass rushing ability, may thrive at 3T. He had 5.5 sacks and 14_pressures during his final year in college. Not sure if he can hold up against the run.

To be able to trade Mack or Quinn, you have to have a contending team with cap space. The only good teams that have cap space and a need, are the Chargers and Bengals. LA has Bosa, but that's it. Their head coach was here as Macks LB coach. They have 11 draft picks, so I expect them to try to draft one, but if they don't get the guy they want, I can see them being the best chance for a trade. Which would be after the draft.

I think an idea team would be Jaguars. They have a lot of cap space and Pederson went there. We Would save 8 mil, and lose 2.6 .I would say to get that done, we might have to eat of the cap money. If Jaguars only had to pay him 5 mil, it would be more attractive of a deal.

Wow, you did a good job on this. A few things, I think Sam Kamara at 6'2"- 290 will be considered a 3 T. I also think they may bring back Nichols , he can play both DT spots and seen his contract at Around 6 mil. The only other DT available that played as much was Jarod Reed/ KC . He is 30, Nichols 26. I tink we could be bringing back Christian Jones. He started while in Detroit and was productive. If they need a cheap option st SAM, he could be a temporary get. 2 Ss available that had ties to Eberflus is George Odum and Malik Hooker. Both could come cheaply.

I heard last year, there was 2 teams that wanted to trade for him but Foles didn't want to go there so the bears didn't make the trades.

After hearing Cohen say he didn't want to hit the field until he was 100% tells me he has a mental block because of injury. Normally his injury is 9 to 12 months and he has been out 17 months. He will never be the same. Move on, and get the dynamic playmaker in Grant, although on limited snaps. Grant has more speed .

I'm interested to hear what Olin Kruetz thinks about this hire. He stated before that is more important hire than oline coach.

Adam, I think they take a (we can win now ) attitude than to blow it up for future cap space. IF Fields is good, then will add and not subtract blue chip players. A Defense with a healthy Mack and Quinn player at a high level is scary. They will add a CB, SS, MLB and 3T. That will make this a top 10 defense. If they resign Nichols for 3T, they will be plenty of 2nd wave players to add to the D.

People always talk about trading Mack, Ouinn, or Jackson. OTC lists dead money if traded pre June 1st. Mack-27mil Quinn -12.7 mil, and Jackson 13.5. If you trade all 3 , you save 6 mil but dead cap would be 53 mil. I don't see any being traded. They will try to to get the most out of them this year. Next year they will be in better cap situations with all of them. We have very few rostered players to take there place if traded. This year, Poles will add and make the best of this roster. Then do what he needs to next year. I agree Gibson should get his chance, but it won't happen this yr. Getting extra picks would be great but if any of those players play to their upside, getting rid of them would really make this team much worst. Poles will try to win this year and needs his blue chip players to try to get there. If Fields is good, you are not that far away. Fix the oline and add a WR.

I think they bring in new prospects to save money but If not good enough, will resign both P and LS.

Most our blue chips players are on defense. Mack, Quinn, Smith , Johnson, and in some respects, Jackson. Other good players on the roster . I think they move on from Goldman, Attaochu, Trevathan. Trevis Gibson, Blackson, Edwards, Tonga , Snowden, Sam Karama, Graham can contribute. Needs : 2 CBs, SS, MLB, SLB, 3 T. If Graham can develop, Shelly, and Vidor can be put at NB or bring in new. I think 3T could be a fit for Edwards and Karama. Both around 6'2" 290. If not will have bring new. Blackson and Tonga can man the NT spot.Possible that Nichols can play there and will be brought back. I think Snowden will get first shot at SAM LB spot. I think they bring back Ogletree and Christian Jones will be brought back to man the middle. They will definitely bring in a SS, but maybe Bush and DHC can be brought back as backups. I think they bring in a SS, CB, SAM to start. Malik Hooker SS, ties to Eberthus Nichols gets brought back to play 3 T Leighton Vander Esch to play SLB. played under Matt in Da!las. Kevin King/CB He got his spot taken by Douglas, comes on a prove it deal.

I think they will take BPA at areas of need. Depth at WR may push that back . I think they will prioritize OL , whether OC, OG, or OT. There is 7 OL prospects in the top 30. If one drops, they will grab him. DTs are another area of strength in the draft. If you look at free agent CBs, every year there are a few good ones that get cheap prove it contracts. Rasul Douglas comes to mind. 890,000 last year.,p I think he spends all his money on Offense this year. The players he grabs for defense will be 2nd and third wave types .

I think he doesn't get the 20 mil a year he will want , more like 14-15 range. Not sure AZ is a fit, him and Hopkins are similar type WR.

With such a lousy offense, AROB missed a lot of opportunities plus his missed games, outcome not good.

Still on the roster, Lacan London , Tonga, Goldman, Blackson, Mario Edwards, Sam Karama, Mack, Gibson, and Quinn. I think the regression of Goldman gets him off the roster. We are good at DE, Mack, Quinn, and Gibson. Blackson and Tonga can man the NT spot. I think Karma and Edwards can play the 3T spot, if Poles doesn't agree, he can resign Nichols at a team friendly contract. So I think we will be set on the defensive line.

Definitely will need to add a SS, but I think they will fill that in free agency and will at a value. SS seems to be undervalued position. In the 4-3 there is still a NT, I think Nichols could play 3T, he is better suited than Goldman.
