Super stoked - now if a young LT is there, draft them too. If not - let the competition at LT be there.

Freaking LOVE IT. Fair deal too.

3YR 42M is the reports.

Sounds like Dalman to Bears...

Godwin back to Bucs - 3yr 66M.

TV - X is all over the map right now.

DJ Reed (Jets - DB) to the Packers.

H. Reddick to Bucs for 1YR deal.

Chiefs signed Moore to be one of their tackles from the Niners. 2Yr 30M+.

That is why you spend now - do it on guys who have a few years in - which gives them plenty to spend in next 2-3 years and than you still are left with plenty of flexibility when it comes to making Caleb work too.

A rumor out there regarding Amari Cooper and the Bears. For right price on ST deal, I'd say he would be a good replacement (and younger) for Keenan.

They can do minimal rework to a few deals and create another $20M in cap space.

I think they could move down a few spots from 10 - but I think at minimum 2 of first 4 will be on trenches, most likely 3 of first 4. RB will be one of the top 3 picks, imo. I also think there is a chance they take a TE.

I'm just not a fan of drafting a RB this early. I would have been fine paying Saquon last off-season, but I feel like getting these guys this early with everything else just doesn't add up. I am 100% fine drafting a RB in Rd 2 though.

Bears have plenty of cap space and can free up quite a bit. I'm okay if they hold for one more off-season for another splurge or two...but i think Dalman is worth overpaying for. I was a big fan of Khalil Mack or someone like that on a 1yr deal. Chase Young is now who I'm guessing - say a 2YR 25M deal combined with Dalman.

To your point - older DT's don't hold up well - and you can find real good DT's in round 2 or typically. I think we should add a free agent to help and a draft pick (2nd round or 3rd round - don't think 1st round makes sense unless Mason Graham falls to 10). DE I prefer in Rd1 and prefer big money in FA going to a pass rushing DE too.

He is on the older side - but relatively healthy player up until this past season where he tore his pectoral. Has a good relationship with Sweat and certainly could be an impact addition on the interior of the line. Prior to last year though the guy pretty much always played and generated a real nice pass rush from the interior. I would be very supportive of this move - sign him to a 2 yr deal with a 3rd year of dead money or something.

They also have quite a bit more wiggle room they can make via well managed extensions too. I also think I heard we were still closer to 50M - with other moves they can probably get to $60-65M.

I'm all in on this move.

That or if I'm high on Simmons - I draft my favorite dlinemen at 10 (or slightly lower) and than use my 2nd rounder and a 2nd next year to jump back into the top 20 or so and tackle a LT. Basically lock in 5th year option and 1st round with my DE and LT this year. It does make me a bit light in next year's draft as I'd be giving up a future 2nd too. At that point - the 2nd I keep, I'm moving down in the draft to a bit more to accumulate back some draft capital.

I think edge is a legit option too - I think LT or DE without a doubt. But I really see a scenario where they add Dalman at C and draft an LT - basically 4 / 5th's of the oline is brand new. Keep Braxton as a swing tackle/depth move, give Kiran time to earn a spot too (or swing inside eventually) - but totally changes the line. Young tackles on the edges, quality vets inside - really good balance on the oline and you have depth too. And it gets to the point Johnson and Poles made around totally remaking things. I really love that combination and if I were going to lean going heavy on oline vs. dline - right now I'd rather go extra heavy on oline to put the nucleus in place for Caleb more so and than use my next 2 picks to double down on the line (plus another free agent signing).

I think if they can make a strong signing at Dline in free agency, which I think they are going to do, than I really see them taking a OT prospect at 10 and if they need to move up for Campbell to do it I could see them doing it. If it isn't OT, I think it will be dline. I also think if they go OT, we see RB and Dline with the 2 2nd rounders (and if they need to move around in 2nd round to get to right spot value wise they do so). That 3rd rounder I could see being anywhere - potentially a safety or a guard/TE.

I think they grab one of the Colts/Eagles young linemen or one of Bosa/Mack. If they can’t sign Dalman, I could see them trading for a strong center. Than we see a number of picks in the trenches too.

Joey Bosa officially on the market. Been banged up past couple of years so not sure what he has left - but if he could be healthy, pair him with Sweat and a high draft pick and that is a much more ferocious pass rush.

Jackson will be the RG and I suspect Dallas will be the center (for big money). The risk is Dalmatian and Jackson have had some injury issues - but both should have plenty of prime years left. Thuney is the elite vet but quickly on outside of his prime - but still a very good player and a true leader. I suspect they draft an oline with one of their 1st 3 picks and than probably another one with a depth pick (especially if they move back a bit in round one or with one or both of their 2nd rounders to pick up some capital for a te, extra linemen and a rb. I think Dalman and the young Colts Dlinenmen are the 2 big moves Bears make in free agency.
