KC and Philly have something in common they always go thru RBs. Neither has had a bell cow rusher. They met in the SB. I wanted to keep Monty but Poles wants to have a dynamic offense, Monty was not that ideal back.

Everything I predicted was wrong, I would have bet my house, Monty was coming back , good thing I'm stuck in Thailand and they don't allow gambling. My next prediction: Greg Gaines/ DT Dennis Kelly /RT. Frank Clark/Edge 1 year 10 mil deal Rock Ya-Sin/DB 1 year 5 mil deal If I right on any of these it's because I'm lucky.

No way a guy that believes in building thru the draft, is going to trade assets. He traded for Claypool because free agency sucked and the draft is not great to get a # 1. Now he added his number one by trade and got more draft capital. Its not that it wouldn't be worth a # 2 for Tunsel but his cap hit is 35 mil and then a new contract, 24 and up. He's not doing that when he has the 9th pick in the draft and can get a day one starter. 2 days into free agency and Bears Twitter is stressing because he doesn't have a 3 T and RT. He easily can get both in the draft. Let him do his job( off-season) and then we can go from there. His first 4 picks will have us a OT, DE, DT and maybe RB now.

If he sits for a long time , he going to play somewhere on a 1 year 20 mil deal.

I would contribute money to get that kind of draft. Don't have a 3T in there but that's OK.

He's just a core ST player that is a depth piece at RB. The key here is good in pass protection.

Poles is saving money for Orlando Brown.

I think Poles is watching his spending maybe there will be a Orlando Brown sighting soon. He was the best OL free agent.

After one day of free agency and the bears not overpaying for mediocre RTs is probably more of an incomplete instead of ( what are they doing) . plenty of time to fix it. Then there's pick 9 in the draft that would definitely fix it.

I preferred him back but can upgrade the position in the draft. Plenty of RBs in the draft but at what point do they draft one?

The Bears probably valued him at 5 mil a year. I think this means they bring back Evans and drafts a RB.

Giving Jones 23.5 in his first year might have been more attractive than an extra 4-5 over 3 years over all.

He would have to cover people at the other two spots.

Big contracts like Edmunds contract. I never said they were done.

I don't think there's any big contracts left. He will bring in some value with the rest of free w. Still think he signs Monty to a team friendly deal. It may e hub d up being cheaper than originally thought because of a lack of offers. One week should be long enough to bring him back.

Twitter is lame sometimes, Bears fans are chaotic. Because we haven't signed a RT or DT, we all of a sudden have a bad free agency.Time will cure everyone's mood . Poles is a smart guy.

Poles is going bring some players we know very little about but started last year in the league. Example: Greg Gaines started for the Rams next to Donald. 36 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 TFL, 6 QB hits and 1 fumble recovery. He can be got cheap and could be a rotational NT.

They definitely are going to cover the possibility of him not being available all the time. That's why I think they keep Whitehair and Patrick around. Maybe draft someone like Cody Mauch that could play all line spots.

As far as addressing the Oline, Ryan Kelly/OC is said to be up for trade or release out of Indy. He's an above average OC that could still be brought in. If cut, his salary would only be 7.8 mil in 2023. He's 30 and doesn't have an injury history. There are still 7 2023 starting RTs still in free agency. Ill have to see how their rated. Trey Pipkins is the youngest but not sure of his effectiveness. Also Riely played OK if they wanted to bring him back while they groom a rookie. All is not lost yet. He's going to look for value but is bringing someone in. On the roster still is leatherwood, Kellen Diesch, Jenkins ( moved) and Borom ( no ).

Out of the top 10 OTs in the draft Broderick Jones is third in arm length only behind Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones. Not sure Poles thinks that's a problem for him as a prospect.

PFF had him and Jenkins ranked in the top 10 of OGs last year.

At Will LB Edmunds will be Shaq Leonard on steroids. They could have picked up Bobby Okereke that played int he Flus scheme and was successful but we now have a monster Will LB. Since Poles got here, he rebuilt the DB group, WR room and now will give us the best group of LBers in the National Conference. Got work to do in the trenches .

Finally we get the Rodgers ownership out of Chicago.

He was in negotiating with McG and Dremont Jones but he had to set a limit for value got out bid. I'm glad he's not throwing around stupid money contracts. That's how Pace got us in trouble. I think he still brings in a DT and another edge but they will be Walker type signings. We may not get a RT, so that means he will be drafting him in one of the first 4 picks Something lime this 9. Jalen Carter ( if he drops) Tyree Wilson, ( if he drops) or Lucas Van Ness 54. Tuli Tuipulotu/ 3T 62. Jaelyn Duncan/OT 65. Keenanu Benton/ DT. I used tankathon mock as reference. If Poles can find Braxton Jones in the fifth, he surely can find a starter at pick 62.

Edwards is playing MLB , Edmunds the Will slot. Sanborn SLB. I now spoke. Edmunds is going to be Shaq Leonard on steroids. He's going to kill it in this scheme. This was the other big money contract. The rest will be below 10 mil a year guys.
