2022: Building around Fields

[nc0gnet0]

I doubt that. The Dolphins for example, I believe have cap and picks. They have Will Fuller and now Waddle, but since they’re giving Tua a shot, a dependable ARob and electric Waddle would work for them.

But who knows? I think if circumstances dictate, they could get back more than you think.

Your not looking at the bigger picture, it's just not about Arob's talent, it has as much to do with the fact he is a top dollar one year rental. Without some guarantee AROB would be willing to sign a long term extension, not team is going to give up more than a 3rd for him.

Cooks wasn't tagged, and the Rams also added a 4th round pick to the deal.

ARob is a much better WR than Cooks.

Good points. Still think Robinson is better though. Cooks has brees and Brady throwing him the ball as opposed to bortles and Mitch. I think they could prob get a 2nd for Robinson if the other team is able to sign him long term

I am looking at the big picture, and I agree with you. Obviously the predicate to any trade is finding a destination ARob likes and agreeing to terms with the other team. Not saying that will happen, but if it does, I think his trade value is higher than you think.

That would have to happen prior to July 15. Also, because Arob is does not have to re-negotiate his contract with anyone, it effectively narrows the trade pool considerably, which decreases his value

I'd love to get like a 2nd and a 4th or 5th for him then go sign Will Fuller. Draft TE Ruckert and a solid WR. Add a good OL in FA. The offense would be pretty solid. We'd likely have to address defense in future offseasons as most of our allocation next year would be going offense. But that offense would be loaded with speed

I didn’t say it would be easy but it’s within reason

Seems like a lot of money to pay Ramczyk just to back up my man Larry.

 

[JGONBORICUA14]

Larry?

I thought about trading ARob and signing someone like Kenny Golladay or juju for a bit cheaper

The Bears should follow the KC Chiefs plan when they surrounded Mahomes with a ton of explosive offensive weapons.

Extend Allen Robinson
Sign Will Fuller
Sign either Mike Gisecki or David Njoku (Tight ends take too long to develop to waste one of the few picks the Bears have. )

The benefit of having a mobile QB is the stress it puts on how defenses can rush the QB. It takes an enormous amount of pressure off the tackles, which is why I think Ifedi or Borom can work at RT.

Rebuild the defense through the draft.

Bears likely won't have the cap space to make all those signings

They should with Quinn, Hicks, Dalton, Graham, & Trevathan all gone.

The defense would take a step back, but there is still plenty of talent and it’s easier to rebuild a defense through the draft. The league is shifting towards offense anyways.

Yikes, you wanna pay James Daniels the same as Zach Martin? Other than that, I'm with you for the most part. But like Windy said, the Bears are looking at some decent room under the cap after they cut guys like Foles and Quinn, but that money isn't going to go super far when you only have 30 players or so under contract. I think I'd rather get a 2 or 3-for-1 with the 19M you're giving Robinson. I love Robinson but a 19M WR and 18M RT isn't a great use of resources.

Cut or don't re-sign all of those guys and the Bears have about 72Mil in cap room. Signing Robinson will take 20Mil of that (granted won't all be hit to the cap). And you only have 27 players under contract. You need another 28, and only 2 early draft picks next year (no 1st or 4th). Maybe the 5th, 6th and 7th round picks make the team this year and next, so you have 31-32 players under contract, but like 9 of them will be picked in the 200s or UDFA. And you still lost your backup QBs, #2 TE, and starters at LB, DL, OLB, while still needing starters at RT, RG, CB, and SS .
