I'm 100% with this. Those signings are exactly what you don't want to do on a rebuild. If the question is between spending an additional $5 million to get Bud Dupree into the house vs dumping James Conner so we're done with him in 2023, the latter all the way.
No there are cap considerations too.
Are we the ONLY team not allowed to rework contracts in order to free up money? Sounds like it.
No… we’re just one of the few who choose not to.
We’ve done it a milllion times over years one of reasons why we were always strapped with dead money.
Not really they have already signed like 8 guys and have a rookie pool to fulfill… Still gonna need to sign a couple more too to fill out this roster. Anyone know where th cap stand now roughly? 33 million. Sounds decent but I’m sure it disappears fast.
Apparently they also designated Hudson as a post June 1st cut, which pushes some of the hit until next year.
And also Watt. It's completely mystifying.
If the Bears draft a good RT they could be a really solid offense if Fields takes the leap.
It's pretty rare for QBs to make a leap between years two and three. Josh Allen is the exception that proves the rule.
Agree, the hit should have been all this year
Neither of those players are good anymore.
So like James Conner?
Ehhh JC average 4.3 last year and offers much more in the way of the passing game than Zeke…. Not really sure of your point?
They are trying to carry over max space to next year.
Monti showing his lack of competence
