Bears are getting Russell Wilson, baby!!!!!

[PrideisBears]

Don't make me dislike you @iueyedoc

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Does anyone else have first round picks to give away to us so we can get Wilson? Per @hyatt151 someone still owes a lot for Orlando Brown, whoever feels obligated can just send those picks our way I guess.

Just a stupid thread

In an article that leaves even SportsMockery with it's jaw dropped.
TLDR version
1)As part of the blockbuster deal for Brown, Kansas City had to give up its first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft among other assets. Thus, the Baltimore Ravens now have the 27th and 31st overall picks in the upcoming draft, which they could use to address multiple positions of need.

2)Bears send WR Allen Robinson to Ravens for 27th and 31st picks


3)Seahawks get: 20th, 27th, 31st picks in 2021 NFL Draft; First- and second-round picks in 2022; First-round pick in 2023

Bears get: QB Russell Wilson

• How Orlando Brown trade revives Bears’ Russell Wilson hopes
  Friday's Orlando Brown Jr. trade created a potential opening for the Chicago Bears to pull off a deal for Russell Wilson. Find out how.
  

By Matt Fitzgerald



The Chicago Bears gave up their pursuit of Russell Wilson a while ago, but here’s a surprise: The Kansas City Chiefs’ trade for Orlando Brown Jr. on Friday might have actually reignited the Bears’ hopes of landing the Seattle Seahawks’ superstar signal-caller.
As part of the blockbuster deal for Brown, Kansas City had to give up its first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft among other assets. Thus, the Baltimore Ravens now have the 27th and 31st overall picks in the upcoming draft, which they could use to address multiple positions of need.
On the other hand, Baltimore could cash in those assets to either move up in the first round, or acquire a proven veteran player. Two later first-round picks seem like a fair price for a seasoned pro seeking a fresh start.

The Chicago Bears’ master plan to get Russell Wilson

Bears trade Allen Robinson to Ravens

• 2021 NFL MOCK DRAFT TRADE: Bears send WR Allen Robinson to Ravens for 27th and 31st picks

Yes, Baltimore signed Sammy Watkins in free agency, yet he’s struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, and hasn’t lived up to his billing as the former fourth overall draft pick. Speaking of not meeting the hype, that can definitely be said for 2019 first-round pick Marquise Brown.
Between Watkins’ durability issues and Brown’s diminutive stature — not to mention issues with drops — the Ravens aren’t exactly setting up Lamar Jackson for optimal success in the passing game. Watkins is the “big addition” to a group Pro Football Focus ranked 25th out of 32 NFL teams entering last season. That’s not great.
Jackson needs a surefire No. 1 like Allen Robinson, and the Bears’ leading receiver, you can be sure, isn’t interested in catching passes from Andy Dalton under the franchise tag in 2021.


With two picks apiece in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, Baltimore should be able to build plenty of depth through the draft. Sacrificing a couple picks toward the end of Round 1 to get a playmaker like Robinson is worth the cost.

Bears land Russell Wilson in mind-blowing trade

• Seahawks get: 20th, 27th, 31st picks in 2021 NFL Draft; First- and second-round picks in 2022; First-round pick in 2023
• Bears get: QB Russell Wilson

It’d be really sad to see Robinson leave Chicago right before the Bears would acquire Wilson, but it’s a necessary hit to take.
With second- and third-round picks mostly intact for the next few drafts, Chicago can retool its receiving corps to build around Wilson. Even this year, players like Dyami Brown, Tylan Wallace, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Amon-Ra St. Brown and several others headline a supremely deep crop of Day 2 receiver prospects.


Wilson can obviously elevate any supporting cast he has, not to mention attract future free agents, such as players from the 2022 class like Chris Godwin and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The Bears have sought a surefire stud like Wilson for decades at quarterback but haven’t been able to acquire one. General manager Ryan Pace is fighting for his job, and came up too small in his last trade offer to Seattle. He can’t make that mistake again, so he’s paying a premium here.
All parties would have to pull off some salary cap maneuvers to facilitate this trade, yet it’s doable. Seattle should seize this opportunity to add talent at multiple positions across its roster and find Wilson’s replacement.

Russell Wilson trade would give Seattle tons of flexibility for QB succession plan

Chances are, if Wilson does play for the Seahawks in 2021, they’re going to be competitive. They’ve been aggressive in recent years and have gotten very little out of their drafts, and wouldn’t be picking high with Wilson leading them to yet another winning record.
Wilson is bound to leave after next year anyway, and a team like Chicago is likely willing to fork over whatever it takes to land him. Yes, it’s a dead money hit, but it’d only cost $7 million in the red for Seattle to get rid of Wilson now.
Everyone would have a clean slate, and the Seahawks could build around a younger player on a cheaper contract. Now, does that mean a rookie, another young QB, or a proven veteran Seattle is high on and is attainable via trade?
Maybe, if the Seahawks traded all these first-rounders to the Dolphins, then Miami could give them Tua Tagovailoa and take a QB sixth overall. Staying in the second-year class, Green Bay’s Jordan Love probably won’t play any time soon if reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers stays in a Packers uniform. Why not kick the tires on him?
Marcus Mariota could be in for an epic second act in the NFL, like the man who replaced him in Tennessee, Ryan Tannehill. Seattle could call Las Vegas and see what it’d take to get Mariota to the Emerald City.
Of course, there’s always the option of cashing in a considerable amount of these assets from a hypothetical Wilson trade for someone like Justin Fields, Trey Lance or Mac Jones.
It’s fascinating to ponder all the possibilities for Chicago and Seattle. Who would’ve thought the Orlando Brown Jr. deal could’ve ignited such excitement for two seemingly unrelated franchises?

Damn you sir, my dick got hard and then when I started reading, it got soft andran back up inward to my intestines.

I damn near passed out from the blood shifting in and out so quickly

some of you need new hobbies. or psychological evaluations.

Again this makes no sense, Wilson will still get killed behind our offensive line or lack thereof and he would have a team of scrubs to throw to!

how could you possibly build enough of a ream before he was 99 years old?

I would trade for Watson instead, he’s 25 and just as good and wouldnt cost nearly as much. Trade Arob for two firsts and give them those picks plus some scraps if it even costs that much to acquire Watson at this point

He wants to be the savior of chicago.

5 first round picks?

Why not just give the seahawks the rights to all of our picks.

I actually did something similar in the PFF draft simulator. Offered my whole draft this year, next year, and in 2023 to the Jaguars for the first overall pick. They accepted, and I took Lawrence. PFF graded the trade an A, the pick an A+, and the overall draft an A+. Had me laughing so hard my gut hurt.

Of course I would never suggest that we do this in real life, and if Pace does it, he should be fired. Out of a cannon. Directly into the sun. But that the simulator would allow it and then grade it so highly was comical.

Now, concerning the original article, that's something that truly lives up to the name "Fantasy Football".

 

[Visionman]

Is this after we sign AR to a new 5 year, 10m deal so the Ravens get some actual benefit from this trade? Who knows...to get out of Chicago, AR might just agree to it!

In other news, in a new collaborative effort the Bears have agreed to be the Seahawks practice squad.

Well, there are some legal issues. And I doubt Virginia would bring on any QB that assumes therapeutic massages include hand jobs and oral sex.

Seriously, if Watson is cleared of all of these charges, which would primarily happen if his legal team could show the whole thing was a combination of a cash grab and smear campaign, then he will be playing again, and in play for future trades. Until then, he's radioactive, and no one will trade for him, not even the Raiders. Given the preponderance of evidence (which I'm not privy to), I suspect this will linger on his record for a while, and will cause him to miss several games this season, possibly all of them. Recall that Mike Vick lost a few peak years because of the dogfighting scandal, and that was more by association (his buddies were running the ring, and using his land). Then again, Roethlisberger missed no time after his legal issues, so one never knows.

As a final aside, Watson was an idiot to behave this way (if he did). I'm sure there's some underground papers in the Houston area where he could have posted an anonymous ad for 'therapeutic massages with happy endings, will pay well,' and received lots of replies, probably some from masseuses who were rabid Texan fans. Instead, he purportedly let this out everywhere, and may pay a steep price. But that's neither here nor there, and this will play out in the media, and in the courts, and then in the NFL.

Lmao. I think myself and 75% of
Board would be ok with 2 full drafts for TL. 3 is pushin it.

2 and a half...done.

 

[Raskolnikov]

I'll believe it when I see it. Still hoping they figure out a way to get Justin Fields.

If we got Fields would you trade him for Wilson?

Would you trade Mack and Robinson to Baltimore for 3 firsts if it got either done?

Wilson has survived experimental lines, he is the best guy to survive ours.

Everyone just dislike @iueyedoc and move on

Ryan Pace with a master plan. Could you imagine?

 

[Aesopian]

This draft is packed at wide receiver it makes no sense to trade for one.
