Jonnu Smith will be able to show off his pass-catching abilities now.

Marshawn Lynch had a $10,000,000 cap hit the year the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Cap was significantly smaller then too. So this is not totally without a successful precedent, though personally I agree it seems like a silly move. Their defense is soft and bad basically all over, and they have pretty mediocre receivers after Davante Adams. Runningback was a luxury item, and now they have to basically go wild in the draft to improve.
But they also werent paying much for a QB. Wilson was on his rookie contract

Maybe. But I think Jonnu is a very underrated TE. Should see an uptick in production even with Cam at QB.
Jonnu is a freaking beast. Great signing for a team needing playmakers.

He's their top option on the roster right now. He got a career high 65 targets this past season. He should be looking at 90-95 easily with their current roster. When Greg Olsen was in his prime with Cam, he got 108-130 in all his healthy seasons. And we know Belichick has no problem scheming to TEs.

Imagining Pace and Nagy stepping up to the podium and trying to sell Andy Dalton to the fanbase as the franchise savior truly makes me want to vomit. It's too Bearsy not to happen though.

the 49ers were my guess for Mitch. Won’t be shocked if they pick him up.

would be ultimate bears if he somehow works out there under shanny

would also be the ultimate fleecing. Not only would we have traded them a bounty to take Mitch they ended up just getting him 5 years later and fixing him.

The cap is supposed to be much higher next year.

If the Bears can't get Watson or Wilson, I am down for getting Dalton. He is a decent QB and a good stop gap till we draft a potential franchise guy. Not like we would be contending with any other FA QB anyway.
