He must not have been on Justin Field's list.

Pretty sure he chose where he wanted to go for that cheap. Not only that but he’s trying to put up big numbers and thinks he can do that in New Orleans for whatever reason

He was concerned of the possibility of having to catch passes from Trevor Siemian. Once Trevor left N.O. and came to the Bear, it was a done deal.

The Bears didn’t need another slot WR. Landry was never a good fit.

All reports were pointing to him looking for 20 mil. He even fired his agent because he wasn't happy with the offers he was receiving.
Now with that said, if Bears didn't offer a financially better offer than the one he received with the Saints, I'd be pissed. Saints only make sense because it is home state and where he went college. Maybe worth a cheaper deal to spend one year near home and be near the support of his family and friends.
At the same time, Bears should have been in the conversation for 8-12 mil a year. I like Pringle's upside, but this staff/front office is too high on their own evaluations for players who have little experience. Getsy loves St. Brown and Poles likes his guy from KC. At this point it almost seems like those guys were promised starting opportunities.

No dude, your reading it wrong. Once Andy Dalton made the move to New Orleans, it was a done deal.

Who would that be that would push an all pro player off the roster ?
Jarvis Landry has never been an all pro... Not even close.
He's also at the tail end of his career.
Anyone who thought he was getting $11M was out of their mind.

Landry has averaged close to 1000 yards a season over his career. Certainly would have been a solid addition even if they guaranteed the total 6 million.
Poles certainly took on a difficult situation on the offensive side of the ball but man he has done himself no favors this offseason.

I mean, just a guess, but there's something to playing a majority of games in a stadium where you grew up an hour away.

I’m pretty sure Jarvis wasn’t coming here this year no matter what. Just an educated guess…

Agreed the Bears weren't an attractive choice for any FA WR. It was a tough job for Poles. But I think he could have done better than what we ended up with.

I don't disagree with either in bold. I don't think spending big money in FA on WR is a smart move going forward. I'd rather they use the draft capital, which, well.....

The same all-pro that put up worse numbers than Byron Pringle last year?
Who would that be that would push an all pro player off the roster ?
