Just seen where Geroge Pickens was traded to Dallas for a 3rd round pick. He's a talented WR but has character issues . Tomlin doesnt get rid of quality players for no reason. I remember a lot of people wanted Poles to take him. He was picked 4 spots after we took Brisker in the 2022 draft. With our dysfuncinal offense the pass few yrs it wouldnt have went well here.

First of all Kmet is not a bad blocker. Getting rid of the 9th rated TE to get a cheaper choice has risk. (CBS ratings) Say we trade him for a 5th round pick. How many 5th round picks does what he does in his career? 258 recs 2592 yds 19 TDs Had the best catch rate for a TE with over 50 targets. 47 of 55. Do you honestly think Ben Johnson wants to trade productive assets because he drafted a TE that might be good in the NFL? Ben likes to play chess with his offense, keep moving assets around so the defense doesnt know what he's going to do. 2 major assets are rookies, so you want to get rid of a proven asset for a better cap space. No logic in that at all.

If you have time this is a very interesting video with Wannstedt. At around 33 minutes. A friend of his runs Pro Scout that every team buys. They rate all players in the NFL. the last 10 SB winners, there was no blue LTs but every team that won a SB had a blue center. Conclusion was center was the most important OL.

Yes that's why we should be lucky we have Poles even with his mistakes.

So if they add any more players they literarly have to cut a player of equal pay. Another reason why they wont be adding anyone else until camp starts. If they want another RB I dont see teams signing any until they reach camp and replace someone injured or cut. I suppose a player could get hurt during OTAs and then maybe. We had 6 RBs going into camp last year and we have 6 in the building, I think we're set for now.

We have a young QB with a highly successful offensive mind, why get rid of assets before you see what Ben puts together. Niether are leaving anytime soon. Isnt it better to have two high level TEs and 3 high level WRs? The cap wont be a problem until Caleb gets a new contract so why trade or let go of good players. That doesnt make any sense.

Kmet is a valuable asset and is signed thru 2027. Calebs contract ends at the same time so he will at least be here until Caleb gets a big contract. Cole will be 28 when his contract ends so chances of another contract are thin but a lot can happen between now and 2027. Loveland has a higher ceiling but who knows about future injuries or other situations that could occur.

I seen bleacher report Chargers site that had 2 different proposed trades put forth. One was trading for Kmet for a 4th or 5th round pick. Reasoning was drafting Loveland makes Kmet expendable. Another one was trading for DJ Moore using the same logic. Drafting Burden means Moore is expendable. I guess its not just Bears fans that visit LaLa Land during the preseason.

That makes sense, Im not sure when they are responible to set the cap space. They are allowed a 90 player roster so it would have to be later in the year to set the cap amount after they start cutting players. They still have to establish a operating total for the season which she put us under water.

I thought the rookie cost for each spot drafted were already self determined. Pick # 10 is listed as 4.5 mil. I know last year Rome got 4.1 mil as the 9th pick. Kiran A got 1.3 mil as a third round pick.

They can play with the cap besides cutting a few players. As of today OTC shows us at 10.6 mil in cap space. They estimate our rookie pool as 13.3 mil. which will put us underwater. We also have to add operatiing capital thru the yr. Last year is was around 9 mil. So we have around 12 mil to come up with. Being under the cap I dont see us signing anymore quality signing until after training cap starts. OTC shows us as having 38.4 mil going into next yr as of now.

Rapoport , Schifter and Pelisserio seem to be the closest to insiders in the NFL . They seem to report stuff first 90% of the time.

If Caleb doesnt excel in this envirorment, we will have to question his potenial going forward. Of course, being a glass half full type I expect a pro bowl type of performance.

Wasnt Watson(GB) a speed guy when he came out?

Golden has great speed and could turn into a beast but lots of speed guys never really succeed at the NFL level.

It is expected for sure but this guy/ Archer G. Faith reported they did. He claims to be a Bear insider. Probably just another pundit makling BS claims. Its been 3 yrs of people claiming inside information and hasnt gotten anything right yet.

Has anyone ever seen these guys before? Are they Chicago guys? I started watching this and the first Question: Does Caleb have everything to succeed? They questioned the weapons because some are new and not proven yet.. Then in the second question about Kmet being here in the future, Loveland is a better TE so he might be gone in 2 yrs. So Loveland is unproven and then in the second question, he is better than Kmet. Isnt that counterdicting yourself?

This has to be the best trade in Bears history. Does anyone recall a better one>

i seen this reported on X, but only seen one source . Has anyone else seen any reports? With all the false rumors being reported I always try to find a couple reliable sources.

You just see what you want to see and never understand my points. You turn them into your thought process. Its not even worth discussing things other than football with you. I wont make that mistake again. Actual this started with a comment I made about Adam, and you have to jump in with your negative opinion on my point. Some things are just beyond your understanding.

These are just someones opinion. If you're close to the Bears you see weaknesses being fixed. Last year almost everyone predicted us to do much better than we did. Now they are being reserved on their predictions to not look bad.

Didnt know where to stick this but interesting take on stuff.

Great post to look at with the possiblity of that happening in the next few yrs. Where did you find that , I would like to know how much of a running game they had those yrs. In 2022 KC had almost 2000 yds rushing

i was traveling so I never responded to this. there is absolutely positive and negative aspects to human nature that everyone leans one way or the other. That is where the half glass empty / half full analogy came from. ;By the way it is always changing according to how we deal with life. Its not a true statement constantly. I plumbed for 50 yrs but went to school to be a therapist and took enough sociology courses to know what that is . Example: I remember whe Fields had that game where he had 16 consecative complitations and people were talking about it and your comment was ( that was good but he wasnt hitting his first read very often_) that quote is not exact but something like that . Everyone was liking it and that's what you come up with because you didnt like him and was looking for something to say negative. The only reason I remember it because it was an odd thing to say after throwing 16 in a row and looking like he could be our QB of the future.

This is our most dangerous offense -EVER DJ Moore is one of the best WRs in the league. I think over his career he is ranked 9th among current players. Last year 9th in receptions 9th in targets 26th in yardage 28th in TDS this was on a dysfuntanal offense with a rookie QB. In 2023 2nd team all pro. Rome Odunze is a second year player with pro bowl potenial Cole Kmet is the 9th TE in the league 28th in targets 22nd in catches 25th in recieving yards 13th in TDs on a dyfunctional offense with a rookie QB CBS has him ranked 9th after a poor staticical season. Colston Loveland is the top receiving TE in the draft. Compared to Sam LaPorta that is ranked 3rd in the league Luther Burden was the best YAC WR in this draft. Compared to Odell Becum Jr. DeAndre Swift made the Pro Bowl in 2023 while playing for Philly , a bad OL affected his play , terrible play calling, a rookie QB
