March 10, 20251 yr comment_221271 The #Bears are giving edge Dayo Odeyingbo a 3-year deal worth $48M, $16M per year. Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221273 Don't know much about him but has 43 pressures and 3 sacks last year. Big guy for DA 6'6" 285 Report

March 10, 20251 yr comment_221275 He's an edge - big bodied like Allen likes. I feel like signing him instead of a larger name hints at us drafting an edge player early in the draft? Either that or they think Booker will continue to develop? Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221276 Milton Williams got 26 mil per year. At least we have reasonable contracts. Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221277 I think you put him at edge and then on pass rush downs move him inside with a draft pick on the outside, kind of how they used Demarcus Walker. Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221278 This probably means OT or DT for first pick. Move back and get Zabel. Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221279 Big body, high motor. Looks good, and yes to dawhizz, he looks like he could play some DT, especially on 3rd down. https://x.com/NFL_DougFarrar/status/1897346672558330301 Report

Williams got the biggest contract total in free agency thus far at $104M total. Crazy money. Hell Dan Moore got $82M from TEN. $16M for Odeyingbo and $14M for Dalman is decent compared to some of these other deals. Report
March 10, 20251 yr Author comment_221281 Depending on how those deals are structured, the Bears have between $12-$14M left in cap. With the draft pool and operating money they might have one or two lower FAs left (under $5M per year). Report
March 10, 20251 yr comment_221291 Very interesting - they have put their money into the lines and really invested there. I expect we'll also see a couple draft picks there, but clearly RB is going to be a spot they go early (I still hope it is Rd 2 vs. Rd 1). Report

March 10, 20251 yr comment_221299 This fits DE in Rd 1. Ayo plays both DT and DE. On rushing down's he is outside, but he moves inside a lot on passing downs - which is kind of perfect in terms of length and flexibility and means if you draft someone in Rd 1 at DE (or even with Rd 2 pick) that is a really nice duo along with Sweat. A lot of talent plus versatility if done right. Report

The good defenses have a stud S. I totally expect trade backs to add more top 100 players to develop as these vets get older. A Johnson or Skattebo instead of Jeanty? If one of the top players drop we could get a haul or a QB moves up the draft boards. OR we add a stud at 10 and trade back with both 39 and 41. Poles has set this up to blow up the draft board. I expect at least one OL and one DL high and then add where Johnson wants to fill. Report
