Trade deadline 2023

[TheCardFan]

lots of unexpected media buzz around teams acquiring Josh Dobbs -- Vikings, Browns, Giants

if Monti gets a 5th or better back in a trade for Dobbs, I will be a fan

Link?

I'd probably give a 5th rounder... to get rid of Dobbs

 

[TheCardFan]

So Mary Kay Abbott "suggested" it.

What about Giants and Vikings?

 

[JohnnyCakes]

Get him.

 

[Chopper0080]

Montez Sweat just acquired by the Bears for a 2nd round pick.

 

[Chopper0080]

Like I said, missed opportunity.

 

[BritCard]

Montez Sweat just acquired by the Bears for a 2nd round pick.

This is dumb. Poles needs firing.

Let a young CB go who's currently the 6th ranked CB in the league per PFF to give up a 2nd round pick for an Edge that wants to get paid.

On a team whose season is over already.

I like Sweat, but on a team with the best D line in the league the whole time he's been there he's never had double digit sacks.

On a D line that's currently DeMarcus Walker, Justin Jones, Andrew Billings and Yannick Ngakoue he's going to get all the double teams.

Twitter is full of people taking the piss.

You think it is bad that they pass on re-signing their CB and decide to trade for and sign a young EDGE player?

 

[Arz101]

So Cardinals front office did not think Sweat would be worth it for a second round pick?

 

[Harry]

I’m still hearing no Cardinal interest. They won’t be trading picks for players in all likelihood. The need as much cap space as possible if Murray doesn’t work out. If they decide Murray isn’t a go, they won’t extend Brown.

They’re stuck until they know what Kyler is going to be for them. No worries.

Maybe the lesson is that PFF grades don't mean anything to NFL front offices?

Poles is definitely trying to save his job, but the Bears have more cap money than anyone in 2024 and they're going to have to spend it somewhere.

Chicago is two games out of the 7th playoff spot in the NFC with games left against New Orleans and Green Bay. They're going for it, especially in a division where second place seems extremely achievable with Jordan Love spoiling like a Jack O'Lantern in Avondale and Minnesota potentially hard-resetting their roster after Kirk's injury.

Please do it and leave us the high draft picks.

the bears are awful and this trade is awful

 

[TheCardFan]

The contract will be interesting.

that would be so funny if they trade for him and he immediately starts against us

 

[Devilmaycare]

And if they do you know he's going to have a 5 TD 400yd game where he comes out and lights up the 2nd half. This is the way.

 

[BritCard]

You think it is bad that they pass on re-signing their CB and decide to trade for and sign a young EDGE player?

Yes, I think it's bad they decide to move on from their home grown CB1 because they don't want to pay him to trade a very high 2nd round pick for a DE that wants to be paid over $20m per year that never had more than 9 sacks on the best D line in the league.

Also Montez Sweat is 27. I don't think that's anyone's usual definition of young in NFL terms considering he's the same age of Budda and several people have been questioning his age.

 

[Harry]

Yeah, but it might help their pick fall a little.

 

[DVontel]

Steve Keim would’ve made a move like this.

A lot of people here that loathe Keim have awfully similar decision-making like him.

 

[PDXChris]

Just heard that Sweat intends in testing the market. Could be a complete waste of a 2nd round pick for a rebuilding team

Johnson has 2 INT's and a FF including a pick 6, only 123 yards allowed, a 50% completion rate allowed, a passer rating allowed of 44 in 6 games. Seems pretty accurate.

If he "Has to spend it somewhere" his leading CB seems like a good place.

Also the Bears are 2-6. 100% they ain't making the playoffs.

I was thought exactly the same when I saw it. Poles is black Steve Keim.
