Official 2018-2019 Chicago Bears Thread - Nagy Takes Over
- Thread starter Flyn

Nice move. Saves the Bears a couple million and almost guarantees no other team will go after Fuller since they would have to pay $13 mil.+ and not have the Bears match the offer. Downside to the transition tag is no compensation for the Bears if some team does steal Fuller but that's not likely with the price he's going to get from the Bears.
Fuller gets a bump in salary from $3 mil. to $12.9 mil. so he should be happy.
This makes 2018 another prove it year for him at a cheaper cost than a franchise tag.
RE: Dez Bryant, I would not want him on my team and I doubt the Cowboys will let him go.

I mean, I don't mind not receiving a compensatory pick. It'll be nice, because if the Bears get Fuller, it'll be at market value, and not at an inflated value. Like I said previously, there are a ton of talented CB's on the market this year, so chances are the FA prices will be less because of all the choices. Seems like a savvy move on the Bears' part.
Yeah, I don't like their money guy who makes stupid moves like Glennon but he does have the Bears in 3rd position money-wise in the league. Should be $80 mil.+ in cap space depending on if they release anyone else and that's not bad.
Bears can pick their targets and outbid nearly anyone if they choose to do so.

Trubisky is still uproven, and has been shaky in his first year. We saw glimpses, but he's still got a long road ahead.
Howard is very good, but I am not quite ready to call him elite. Probably our best skill player.
Cohen is a gadget player, he's good but we still have to see if he can sustain his success in his sophomore campaign
Floyd has not lived up to expectations, as of now he's just an above average edge rusher. That can certainly change, but as it sits, he's nothing more than just an above average rusher.
Fuller is technically a free agent, and off the books. He's a very good corner when playing to his potential, but he's extremely inconsistent.
Hicks is very good, although I'm also not ready to call him elite. He's probably the best player on the defense though
Meredith is also unproven. He has one solid year, but to crown him this early is a bit premature. He is also coming off a devastating knee injury and very possibly could never be the same player again
Eddie Jackson has been solid, but again I wouldn't go far to say he's great. So far I would categorize him as an above average player, playing well above his draft position.
Trevathan, when healthy, is the backbone of the defense. He's very good, but he's not an elite playmaker. He's a great leader, and the defense would be worse off without him, but I can't say he's great.
Whitehair has been surprising, durable, and very versatile. He's on the road to becoming an elite interior lineman. Not quite there, but in another year or so, let's discuss again.
Long is probably the only player on the Bears I would consider an elite talent, and even then the past couple of seasons, he's caught the injury bug and has struggled to stay on the field.

Nagy's style is being compared to Philly's way of playing. Much more cutting edge than Fox's along with using players to their abilities rather than trying to have them fit in a scheme. We may be finally getting to the point where a rebuild can work. DEF played last year at a playoff level. OFF needs WRs and OLs. Add those and a few other pieces and we'll see what happens.
Bears are in great shape financially and have a good 1st round pick that should get them a future pro bowler. Could be worse. IMO, the glass is half full.

We already gave away all of our other picks for Trubisky. Whatās another second rounder? We wonāt even be in the next two drafts! Weeeeeeeee!
Robinsonās contract is 3 years $42M, $25M guaranteed. A little more guaranteed money than I wouldāve liked for a guy coming off an ACL injury and a down year before that...but itās whereabouts of what receivers are going for of his talent level. Not an egregious overpayment, but also not a ādealā either. Just sort of meh
Price is good especially after hearing the Chiefs are going to pay Sammy Watkins $48 mil. for three years with $30 mil. guaranteed.
Albert Wilson is going to Miami.
Bears now have a legit WR1. That's big. Also, remember who was throwing to Robinson in Jacksonville? Blake Bortles. Trubisky should be an improvement.

Any NFL move could backfire. The writer just likes his glass half empty.
Chances are just as good Robinson and Trubisky click and turn into a productive NFL passer/catcher team.
If there's any part of the deal I'm not thrilled with, it's the $25 mil. guaranteed for a guy who just had an ACL injury. That amount was probably necessary to grab Robinson since there were a lot of teams interested in him. Bears beat out the 49ers to get the guy.
I'm worried about his 2016 campaign and his ACL injury....He had a great 2015 season, but that was years ago. I'm worried now that he has a ton of guaranteed money, he'll be more likely to slack off, like he did in 2016. I also would've liked like guaranteed money, and more of incentive based deal.
Robinson is only 24 so, with development, he can be even better than he was on the Jaguars.
$8 mil. a year is a lot for Trey Burton. Again, he was a guy targeted by a lot of teams. Between the lines sad point is the Bears obviously don't have the confidence that Shaheen develops into a TE1 this year. Good point is the Bears could use follow N.E.'s lead with two catching TE sets.
Their Offense improved a bunch with these two signings.
I think they will pick up at least one more WR from free agency/draft and probably re-sign Inman and, maybe, Wright.
