Before this occurred it was reported he and the Lions were 'far apart' in their talks of a new contract. https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/jamaal-williams-lions-far-apart-in-contract-negotiations Maybe he goes to the Jets too. I am worried the Bears are taking 1 step forward but 2 steps back when trying to build around JF. Monty was at least a strong pass protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Bears probably valued him at 5 mil a year. I think this means they bring back Evans and drafts a RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I'm glad to see Montgomery get a good deal and get it done early. A team full of players like him will always be better than the sum of it's parts and I appreciated watching his effort no matter the score or record. For sure Poles has seen his options at RB and refused to match what seems like a reasonable deal. That opens the door to what? .... and just like that my son sends me a message that we just agreed to terms with Travis Homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Orlando Brown is going to command at least 25 mil/year. I'm looking at current teams that have that clout are the Bears, Falcons, Raiders, Patriots, Bengals and Cardinals. I'm eliminating the Bengals, Patriots and Raiders because they wouldn't have enough left for the rookie pool. Screw it, we're getting his ass! We own this off-season!

Stinger226 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 If he sits for a long time , he going to play somewhere on a 1 year 20 mil deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eliminating the Bengals, Patriots and Raiders because they wouldn't have enough left for the rookie pool. Screw it, we're getting his ass! We own this off-season! He's demanding $25mil/yr but Poles won't pay that (hopefully). Reports are out there that we have interest. Of course what agent who wants top dollar wouldn't be spreading that rumor. Word is that Poles only sees him as a RT which I agree with but I'm also not sure he's a good scheme fit for the running game. That said pass pro is the priority. To help him save face he'd have to get the biggest contract this offseason among the OTs and to be fair, relative to the others he's worth that. Jawaan Taylor got 4/80 with 40 guaranteed a signing, 60M total guaranteed. Top that. If Poles does this deal I'd expect him to leave himself a way out after 3 seasons. That might cost more money but aside from work ethic concerns (mine since Brown started out poorly the last two seasons) we have the looming contract extension for Fields after 3 seasons. It would also sync with the new deal for Braxton Jones. I don't see this happening. Poles has been firm on McGlinchey and othes and I can't see him changing his MO now when he holds the 9th pick in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravD Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears are looking into Eckle(permission to seek a trade)r or Turnsil (rumored to be in trade negotiations with KC today). I'm not saying they will get either, but Poles knows he needs to improve the line and said we need playmakers on the team. The Bears have more draft capital now, and a lot of room to add either player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 No way a guy that believes in building thru the draft, is going to trade assets. He traded for Claypool because free agency sucked and the draft is not great to get a # 1. Now he added his number one by trade and got more draft capital. Its not that it wouldn't be worth a # 2 for Tunsel but his cap hit is 35 mil and then a new contract, 24 and up. He's not doing that when he has the 9th pick in the draft and can get a day one starter. 2 days into free agency and Bears Twitter is stressing because he doesn't have a 3 T and RT. He easily can get both in the draft. Let him do his job( off-season) and then we can go from there. His first 4 picks will have us a OT, DE, DT and maybe RB now.

killakrzydav Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Tunsil wants to reset the market. I doubt Poles is trading picks at this point to have the opportunity to pay him a record deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shell of what he used to be. if they keep Pollard as their #1 he'll be that way very quickly. They are a likely landing spot for Bijan.
