Theres a lot of crap on this board, but your contributions make it so valuable.

Do we have to wait until the free agency period or can we resign our own free agents anytime?

Teams have exclusive rights until the start of the new league year. So basically the Bears would have exclusive rights to their FAs thru March 10th, then the legal tampering period opens, so it becomes fair game.

So the first thing they do will be restructure contracts to have money to make moves, starting with their own FAs.

That's not that far away.

Yep, you would figure they would want to have some idea on how much money they really have available vs projected.

I think a lot of that might rely on trades too. ANd since we cant know that yet, they probably are running with multiple scenarios for each of those outcomes.

Even if they trade a player, it's not enough money. So you have to get what you can done to see what you have. Trades won't happen untill the new league starts. If they know Edmunds isn't coming back because of releasing them, they can count that money.

Adam can they release Edmunds now if they want ?
