From some reports, that may be where he is headed. 

I firmly believe Braxton hasn't fully recovered from his injury last year. His performance this year has dropped off significantly. If this were the Braxton from the 2024 before the fracture, there wouldn't be all of this talk about his replacement this year, only who do we draft next year as an upgrade.

I agree, and even if he is "recovered" I don't think he has the same strength he had previously, which was already a liability.

Braxton was awful handling the bull rush last year too. Caleb was running for his life as Im sure we all remember. Braxton wasnt the only weakness on the OL last year of course, but I think he is done as a Bear, if not right now, then after this season for sure.

I think draft picks are better judged over their first three years. Stroud was great his first year and is following the Lawrence path of not getting better. Daniels looked much better last year than this year. WR Thomas Jr has did nothing this year after a great rookie season. Same with McConkey. Different situations affect how players do, OL health, different coaches. Caleb is better this year than his first. I think after 3 yrs, players will show who they really are.

When I said this a couple months ago, you were all over me.

Can we figure out yet that I'm just early on these things? And maybe next time i suggest something only give half the hate?

Trading good players when you have their replacements already int he pipeline is just logical - good teams do it all the time. Its not like i invented it.
