Stinger226 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I think we can do these minimum deals all day and not affect our cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 In another thread I added that there are rumors, although more along the lines of murmurs that the Bears are talking to Jamal Adams. This was a story on how that could happen. https://beargoggleson.com/2020/03/20/chicago-bears-rumors-trade-jamal-adams/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I read the article since anything bears always is interesting but the guy killed his own story when he mentioned the jets want Adams to be a jet fot life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Wow this is surprising. He can run with anyone but was always a bit light on the tackling side of things. If he can get his technique down we might have something but at worst we have added experienced depth behind Tolliver. It's really similar to what we did with Prince a few years back. Toss in a rookie on day 3 to fill out the roster but we could also be done here: NB Skrine with Shelley as his backup, CB: Fuller, Tolliver, Burns, and for depth/practice squad we still have Denmark and Joseph and this signing from the CFL Tre Roberson (not expecting much from him).

BearFan PHX Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think Tre Roberson is a wild card here. He miight just be a depth signing from an inferior league, but he was playing pretty damned well there, and a number of teams made offers for him. Who knows? I won't be counting on him, but he could well surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent pickup who could benefit from our DLine if he earns the starting spot. He had the talent to be drafted rd1 and even started, hope a new team rejuvenates him.

Stinger226 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 He was making 1.7 so I suspect, somewhere around there. If he is as good as he played in 2017 , this was a great signing. Maybe it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #2 CB spot is going to be one of the most interesting position battles. One of which is likely a draft pick (probably one of our earlier picks). I'd like to move down a bit and target a couple wideouts, some DB's, some olinemen. If a TE were to fall, that would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
