Bears made Seattle an offer they can't refuse...

[sevvy]

didnt matthew stafford just go for 3 1st round picks though? he’s older than wilson and i wouldn’t consider him as good as wilson either.

Goff
2022 1st
2023 1st
2021 3rd

And either the 2023 1st or 2021 3rd was for the Lions taking on Goff and his contract imo.

They'd have to trade the #20 this year. Could certainly get a T in the 2nd. Less guarantee he'd be plug n play starter though. Need 2 new Tackles to be legit though. Unless skate w/ Ifedi at RT for a year, rookie at LT?

I'm guessing we go with Ifedi/Bars this year if we draft a LT. That or rookie starts on right side year 1 and we keep Leno for another year.

If you are gonna waste draft capital why not get a younger quarterback? Wilson probably won’t play for 5 more years at a high level.

I could see Wilson playing for between 5 to 8 more years at a high level.

The reason is pace and Matt are trying to save their jobs now.

Having Wilson buys them time.

there is no quarterback in this draft or available in free agency that will be as good as Russell Wilson will be next year.

The closest you could get is trading for deshaun Watson but everything right now sounds like Houston is not interested in trading him.

if this guy ends up being for real I think a whole bunch of Chicagoans are going to have a new love for portillo's

Honestly he is reliable for baseball

Why do you think that? He has no injury history and is in fantastic shape. Obviously he is going to lose his speed, but that might not be a problem at all. Rodgers lost his speed and one could argue that he is actually better now.

Yup.

Wilson throws the prettiest deep ball in the NFL.

Him getting older won't change that.

Based on what?

Based on what?

Literally if anything we have a ton of evidence now that elite qb's can play into their 40's nowadays.

Wilson won't have the same athleticism, but I heavily doubt his arm will take a massive hit with the way he takes care of himself.

If we trade for him I have no doubt he will play for the bears until 2030 barring injuries, obviously.

Hmmmmmm. The hype is real

Bears trying to make offer for Wilson that can't be refused

According to one sports pundit’s sources, the Bears are building an offer for Russell Wilson that is so good the Seahawks cannot refuse it.

Then why haven't they made the trade yet?

Nothing is the answer, which is why he hasn't answered.

 

[WindyCity]

Rapoport and Graziano on their TV hits this AM made it seem very unlikely the Bears are going to land Russell Wilson.

Might be time to move on to more realistic options.

 

[Visionman]

What other options? No other trade options right now. And the FA QBs won’t be flying off the shelf. Draft is a long time away.

Potentially if you could get minshew cheap, he wouldn't likely effect the draft capital it would take to get Wilson/Watson if that ever developed and is cheap enough to not impact that cap wise either. Gives a fallback plan and a starting option to bridge if they end up with Lance.

I dont love the option but it is realistic

 

[Discus fish salesman]

There aren't any good realistic options, thats why everyone lives in the 2W fantasy world.
If they did get Minshew, it would be based on a Flip endorsement fwiw.
His stats aren't bad, 33/9 td/int as a starter. 18/4 when Flip was there, 15/5 in 2020.

Plus you'd probably still have your 1st and 2nd round picks. I'd get a tackle rd 1 and wr rd 2. It'd put the offense in pretty good position once you finally find a qb

 

[Visionman]

And I doubt Minshew is going anywhere in the next week. So we aren’t in a rush.
