I’m with you, I’d hope to keep Mitch around just for the sake of consistency. Expand Both Mitch and Foles will be FAgents this year, who are you referring to for a trade?

Expand Nope, Foles is still under contract (thru 2022), and technically they could franchise or transition tag Mitch, then trade him.

No Papa Bear to find us a Ditka and Ryan to lead us to another title. Expand Yeah a couple of years before my time, the earliest memory I have is of the 78' season. However, you reinforced my point, that was 50 years ago. This is on par with that era as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace should be fired for this as it was one if his biggest blunders but probably had to be all in to protect his HC that he brought in. Bears could try and sign Dak Prescott, and if the new regime takes 2 OT’s in first 3 rounds could make such a big impact. Total morale boost to the stars and theywould be excited and want to return. A-Rob would probably take a team friendly deal for 1-2 seasons. Expand Prescott is the hail mary, but they would have to move a ton of players (which I am in favor of) to get him. Like I said, trade (Mack, Quinn, Fuller, Jackson), cut Leno, Massie, Graham, and Skrine, and you might have enough for Prescott. We are in a 3-year rebuild now, embrace the suck for a few years and understand that 75% of the current team will not be part of the rebuild.

Expand They're stuck with Mack and Quinn until their guaranteed money is off. It is what it is. Possibly Jackson as well, as he's not the same guy he was in 2018. Hicks and Fuller should be moved though. Jackson if possible. I still think that Robinson should be franchised and traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an easy Sweetness TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
