4m isn't a lot for a backup QB. They need to sign one anyways, and a decent one, because Hurts is a very very unknown.

I've seen people say he'd rank in the teens among qb salaries, but haven't seen anyone say his salary would be in the teens.

Cohen is fine, I would rather keep him I guess but for the right price, I'd have no problem letting him go.
The fact that they already told him he's staying is a huge issue though, if they did that and then traded him.

I think some people are out of touch with the current QB market. Dak Prescott wants $40m+ a season. Rumors are Rogers wants $45m. $25m is now a mid tier guy.

It is with their cap situation. And it's not like they are going to try to win next year anyway.

Yes, but they still need a QB to appease the fanbase. You can't march out with Jalen Hurts laying a big fat turd and call it a day.
Eagles fans love foles. 4M in cap space to make season ticket holders happy is nada.

His cap number would be $25M next season for the Bears so #13 after Dak gets his deal this offseason.
And $22M in 2022, so #15 when factoring Dak in, maybe even lower is any other guys get extended.

Mid 20's has been a mid tier guy price for years now.
His contract isn't the issue. It's the fact were giving up #20(supposedly) AND taking on that contract while still giving up an offensive player(supposedly).
Why the fuck does Ryan Pace like letting other GM's make a fool out of him? The eagles have wanted to get rid of this guy for months.

Price aside would people rather have Jimmy G or Wentz?

yeah, thats my thought unless they can't tell him because the league doesn't want them to until after tonight.
I was looking at the eagles board and they think they are sending a pick back.
37 was mentioned but that seems unlikely. Probably a day 3 pick

Been seeing talk of Eagles giving back a pick. Possibly a 2

Rumors were the Bears may be getting back a 2. I also saw one report that the #1 was actually the 2022 #1 thus valued lower and allowing the Bears to pick at 20 in this draft.
Its all speculation and rumors at this point tho.

You forgot about Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson. All those guys are getting 30m+ in a year.
Also, Kyler Murray should get another deal in a couple years.
25m in a few years will be nothing.

If the Bears got #70 back that would soften the blow a bit.

That would be worse to me. Fuck the next gm over
This season is as boom or bust as I've ever seen as a bears fan. If they get wentz, they better figure out a way to retain arob via franchise tag.

Wentz has actually done things when I watch him to make me say "wow".
Jimmy has never done that. Guy is a bottom tier skill wise nfl qb.
If we're comparing skillsets, Wentz is a far more talented prospect.

May as well just trade every 2021 pick for 2022 picks if thats the case. I dont get the narrative of actually hoping they fail again. Its like cutting of your nose to spite your face.

If they got #37 for next years first I would package #37 and #20 to trade up into the top 10.
