Official 2019-2020 Chicago Bears Thread - Keep Moving Forward

[bmoore04]

The bears could resign cody parkey and you would like the move somehow.

 

[Flyn]

Maybe if he had a brain and foot transplant.

Skrine was not a good signing IMO, the rest have been decent. The CD signing was stellar for the money.

Bears are looking better with cap space now with the restructuring of various contracts. Next year is going to be another tough one.

 

[Flyn]

I think the Bears understand that, since the collective bargaining agreement ends in 2021, there will probably be a lot more money coming at players after the new deal. Salary cap may spike up a bit so the Bears just need to keep their finances working until the new agreement gets signed. Then they should have more room under the cap.

I wasn't expecting them to do much this year. The signings of Ha Ha and Cordarrelle are unexpected gifts.

Bryce Callahan to the Broncos. $21 mil for 3 years.

Crap

Looks like the Bears will be bringing back 20 of 22 starters this year. Sucks to lose Callahan and Amos but you can't afford everyone. Time for the Ha Ha and Buster show to come to town.

Maybe but neither of them share a Jersey with the same last name as me. lol

 

[Flyn]

I'm curious if the Bears will use Ha Ha at Strong or Free Safety.

 

[Kensington]

Denver signed Callahan for 3/21M...I have to believe the Bears could’ve/should’ve brought him back over Buster...Buster is a significant downgrade...

 

[Flyn]

Callahan has the injury history. Doesn't play full years. Bears don't seem to like guys who get hurt every year. Might have been a factor.

 

[Kensington]

Buster has a history of being a bad CB

Most penalized since coming to the NFL. Thought he was graded as one of the worst last year.

102 out of 112 I believe according to PFF

 

[Flyn]

What was Callahan graded?

What was Callahan graded?

Not sure where he graded, but was the 2nd best CB on the market this year.
Don’t think Buster cracked the top 10 on that list.

11th

I saw Buster bottom 1/3 among FA CB’s on some boards

 

[Flyn]

Bears may regret not spending the money.

 

[Kensington]

Honestly, I thought Callahan would get more, even with the injury concerns. He’s hardly the only corner with an injury history. And most of Callahan’s injuries came under Fox when it seemed like even healthy guys got banged up for no reason

 

[Flyn]

Skrine is making $5.5 mil. and Callahan $7 mil. Bears expected Callahan to get $10 mil ish. Bears may have overestimated Callahan's price. I would have paid $1.5 mil. more for Callahan.

 

[Kensington]

Yeah I think that goes without saying

 

[Flyn]

Punter, Pat O'Donnell signed to two year deal. Bears initially selected him in the 6th round and he has been middle of the pack as far as kicking punts for the Bears.

 

[Kensington]

He was bottom half for the first couple years, but has been better the last couple. My issue with him is that he takes to long to get the punt off, and he's not always consistent. But that's cheap enough where I don't care too much, he's good enough

 

[Flyn]

New Bears players talk about what it's like looking at the Bears from the outside.

Remember when players would NEVER go to Chicago? Looks like that has changed.
