Bears are the top offer for Wentz?

I heard the deal is done, but the details will be released on Monday (after the SB).

The Cohen IG stuff is interesting. With Scott on the roster seems really redundant, so not sure why he'd be included? If it's a cap dump by the Bears (like Fokes) wouldn't that mean the Bears would be giving more?

Anyway, we'll see.

I thought I read the Eagles loved Cohen and were going to draft him in 2017. Maybe Howie still has a flame for him.

Am I the only one who would rather just let Foles play with an improved oline? If my choice is Foles a 1st round ot vs Wentz I’d prefer Foles. He struggled last year because he had no protection and he played a ton of top 10 defenses.

Ok guess here’s one. Wentz isn’t a franchise QB, he is broken. This is the last place he needs to go. Do you really think Da Bears are the organization to turn him around?
Well Nagy/Pace seem to think so. A desperate move for sure.

Joe Douglas was running that draft. Actually looking back not many coaches/front office are still there and not sure if Cohen's career has elevated his stock much.

I think they will probably need more space than that this year. It's not a killer but I expect about $10mil on a signing bonus in 2023.

Well after that the only way you can lower it further would be to convert the 10m roster bonus into a SB as well.

If Pace and Nagy had leeway, that would be an option but they don't. They have to make a splash and try something different.

Is Wentz better than a QB we can grab at 20? Thats the question

The problem is he is still playing for same HC. Nick said in an interview that he knew he will be running failed plays. Do you think Nagy forgot about that? Nagy is an asshole, he plays are the best. Because of that mentality, there was no way Nick will be starting for the Bears.

Wentz is supremely talented. If the change of scenery gets him back on track this could be a steal.

If he plays anywhere near his pre 2020 level, definitely a steal. But we have to have faith that Nagy will put him in a good situation cause if not..

If Bears fans could eagerly use the Awful Quarterback Excuse Flow Chart on Mitch for 3 years (longer for some...) then Carson should get at least a few games.

Wentz is mentally fucked up right now. I don't think the bears coaching is able to fix him. Frank Reich and Colts maybe.

Don't worry. According to Max Kellerman, we'll be getting Philly's 1st rounder to take on Wentz's contract. BIG BRANE PACE DOES IT AGAIN!

Better than giving up multiple picks. A back up QB, back up RB and a 1st (which tbh bears aren't drafting a QB at 20 that would be better than Wentz). I hope Pace pulls something like the Mack trade and gets a late round pick back.

Not horrible overall, but just not that excited about Wentz.
This.
People would be happy drafting Mac Jones at #20. Wentz is better than that, though salary is a major difference.

I am not happy to see Cohen going, but I certainly wouldn't kill the deal over it.

Cohen isn't expensive but still a contract that shouldn't have been given
