Would not be thrilled about it, but I think he’s better than Mitch. Really wish we would be doing something to fix long term problems other than putting a bandaid on it.
Quite frankly, the way this roster is built is dependent on Mitch working. Adding another QB accomplishes little more than a hail Mary at 8-8/9-7 season to try and save Pace's job. If you Spend $15-$20 million more on a QB that is going to detract from the rest of the roster and the result is probably still mediocre QB play.
Disagree because we can win 12 with Mitch and have done it before. The floor with a shitty QB is 6-10 to 8-8, the ceiling is a 12 win playoff team. Sure we need to add some pieces but it’s not a terribly built roster.
that’s a ton of money in the making. AO, Hopkins and the Bryant boys all tested well. Why not draft a TE
Sounds like the team is pretty set on bringing Floyd back at 13 million a year, definitely not a value contract either...
Pace is going to give out some horrible contracts to go all in and save his job. I feared this might happen. Fuck
https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/chicago-bears/ It’s his hit number for the 5th year option Pace picked up last year. We can either cut him or resign him to a longer deal for less per year. They talked about floyd at the combine PC and Pace gushed about how close he was...blah blah blah.
I highly doubt an extension will get him numbers near that yearly. The fact that they admit his close 4 years in tell you that they know he hasn’t proven shit.
I’m not giving anything earlier than a 5th for Dalton. Even that is stupid. The bengals can just cut him once the draft Joe.
When healthy he’s a fantastic ILB. Problem is he can’t stay healthy. With that said I rather extend him in this type of deal vs paying for Nick who’s seems to be overrated and likely to be overpaid. Bears should get a combo pick for Nick once he does sign. So once again good work for Pace and this front office. Bears will need to add a body or two to that LB this offseason. Also if I’m Pace I don’t exercise the 13m option of Floyd. Maybe it clicks for that guy but I think you can get a player of his production or better for that kind of money.
