February 1, 20197 yr comment_174050 This article poses an interesting question: https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2019/02/01/5-moves-the-chicago-bears-should-make-in-free-agency/4/ Should the Bears go after Clay Matthews? Does anyone really think he's going to sign for a reasonable and minimal contract considering his production the past few years? Would he start over Floyd? Report

Second, let me throw-up! Jason, are you fishing for chum? Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174053 God that would be a hard pill to swallow. The first time he did his head flip with his hair and put on his helmet I would regurgitate!! Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174055 Reminds me of the song we sang as kids. Regurgitate, regurgitate, we most throw up the food we ate. Vomit, vomit, V O M I T!!! Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174057 He's a big name player and he's going to cost a lot to sign. His production doesn't warrant what he'll get paid and we have other more important contract extensions I prefer to get done (i.e. Whitehair, Callahan, even Amos). Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174058 I agree with everyone, I pass. However, my understanding is that his drop in production is because they switched him to ILB where he has failed to put up the numbers he once got as an OLB. I suspect if put back outside, he might have a few good years left. (Elsewhere, preferably somewhere in the AFC. LOL) Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174059 I dont care that someone used to be a Packer - raiding their larder makes me happy. I would pass on Matthews because he will want more money than his productivity warrants at this age, and he isnt an ascending player with a window that matches the one we are opening. That said, if Pace disagrees with me, you should take Pace's opinion over mine. Report
February 2, 20197 yr comment_174060 I would rather resign our FAs than sign a decline player like Matthews. Peace Report
February 3, 20197 yr comment_174063 First of all NO, if he's going to work cheap, he will be back in GB. Secondly he has lost a step. How much you give him for 4 sacks this year, maybe. Report

That's getting a potentially high producing player, stealing from the packers, making them hate one of their beloved for being a traitor, and adding a potential pass rush threat in a 3-4. To me the consideration all comes down to money. Report

He was coming from a 4-3 scheme as a DE, trying to play in a 4-3 as an OLB is wasn't a good fit for his skill set or experience. We were hoping his talent would allow his play to translate from 4-3 to 3-4 and it didn't. His age also was working against him. Report
