DABEARSDABOMB Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Totally good with this. I think I saw it is 5M with another 5M in incentives based upon starts. Good move and Jones should have a ton of motivation to parlay a healthy offseason into a big season into a big pay day (and eventually a comp pick for the bears :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago A pretty low risk move. The Bears know exactly what they have and understand his health better than anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago This tells me they expect Ozzy back. They tried Braxton's bonus to game starts. It's a win win. Cheap option, Decker will be getting a big payday by what other players are getting. Braxton gets to play for a big payday next year. OL Coach literally told us this in an interview.

BearFan PHX Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago If it's $5M + $5M Im Ok with it. I personally think he is deeply flawed as a LT, but if it's only $5M for depth I guess it's OK with me. I mean not that anyone but me cares about that, but still that's where Im at with it. I hope Benedet beats him out in camp, or we draft a rookie or something else happens.

He says watch out for Jones, he will be a different player. I think Poles is paying attention. Jones was a plus run blocker, he has the size to pass block, but needs strength and footwork to handle the bull. If he adds enough strength to improve, the skys the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he adds enough strength to improve, the skys the limit I hear ya, and for $5M, it doesnt bother me. But I dont believe he will ever be an excellent LT. I would LOVE to be wrong.

If he adds enough strength to improve, the skys the limit I know this is minimal but before Braxton broke his leg, he had 3 games in a row as the top rated LT in pass blocking. That was a long time ago but I trust BJ and Poles to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
