Anthony Miller traded to Texans

[botfly10]

I dont like giving away picks to trade him at all. But whatever

Uhhh

 

[PrideisBears]

So why did we pay a pick

 

[Bust]

He probably refused to be vaccinated.

The writing was on the wall when this happened. Only down 4 in a playoff game. NEXT!@

Interesting to see who gets slot snaps. Honestly may see a lot more Allen Robinson in the slot.

Damiere Byrd is slot WR size (5.9", 165) but only had 55 snaps there last year (6.6% of his snaps)
Marquise Goodwin also has NOT been a slot WR much in his career.
Darnell Mooney had 143 (18.6%) of his snaps in the slot.
Allen Robinson actually had 191 slot snaps last year.

I think you'll see a lot of 2 TE sets and 2 RB sets, then you can still get a lot of production out of a 3-wide set with Robinson and Mooney with Goodwin and Byrd splitting the 3rd WR reps. You can mix and match who plays the slot between those 4 and possibly Cohen.

Mike Garafolo- "The #Bears are trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Long rumored to be dealt, the former second-round pick gets a fresh start."

This just strikes me as George made a mandate that he needed to go and they waited for the best deal they could get. Yeah they save 1.2 on the cap but not sure how much that really helps.

Yep, George went on with Waddle & Silvy show and pretty much blasted Miller after the playoff game. Figured he was a goner at that point.

Good riddance. Dumb player. Shit attitude. Don't want any of that near Justin Fields.

Another great trade up selection by Ryan Pace.

 

[iueyedoc]

Rumors are that Ant Mill is taking a route to HOU through South Dakota and Nevada in tribute to his stayin Cicago

 

[iueyedoc]

Nice work by your boy. Tossing a 2nd ,4th, and a 7th for a 7th. Quality work.

Why do people keep saying bears gave up a pick. It was a swap of picks. We likely at worst move up in a late round

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Ryan Pace, amirite?

 

[TL1961]

Wow. That was unexpected. Also they must really hate him to have sent him to the texans

"Unexpected". ?

 

[TL1961]

Imagine all the titty bars and tug joints antmill is gonna get to enjoy with watson

For his three weeks of training camp

So why did we pay a pick

Swapping picks. So Bears will be moving one of their picks higher in the draft.

Don't know who this is. But Byrd and Mooney on the outside I guess is different but that's not a lot of size if AROB is going to do a lot more slot

I expect we will see Cohen in the slot frequently.

That or they dont want to pay Robinson and Miller next year. Get something for him now I suppose.

I mean, to trade Miller at this point it's clear that they had no desire to pay him. Miller liking tweets about WRs going to die in Chicago during the season shows that he likely had no desire to stay. Robinson and Miller situations are not related other than they play the same position.

Yeah think it was more about getting the headache of A.Miller off the team and the cap savings even though it's not much. Wouldn't doubt if George made it known that he needed to be gone by start of season but never know on that.

I like that speed element though and Robinson can probably thrive in the slot with a couple guys taking the top off

Mooney makes Miller expendable

Happy Antmil's gone but Mooney plays a different position.

I guess Dazz's physical went well. May not be a coincidence.
