Expected I would say? No chance he was going to do anything until week 1 at the earliest.

Cohen may play this year but I’m guessing he won’t truly be 100% until next year.

Another Ryan Pace disaster. Cohen's extension was a desperate overpay by Pace. A change of pace back being the 12 highest paid RB after a huge drop off year,please.
Pace was desperate to sign any offensive skill player to a second contract for which he signed as a FA or drafted. Besides Cohen of the players eligible for one, he is 0 for 16 on offensive skill players getting a second contract.

Yeah I never would have paid Cohen.

Not arguing, you are right - but there's an out next year. I've got a feeling it will get used.

POTENTIAL OUT: 2022, 2 YR, $9,650,277; $3,500,000 DEAD CAP​

Might be an out but could have rolled that money to this years cap and not be in a cap crunch.

If you use it, the extension was a fail. I have a big issue with his early high $ signings.

Cohen’s skillset is basically useless unless the offense is already rolling. Add him as a complimentary piece in Kansas City or San Fran and he’d be killin it.
That being said, if Justin Fields makes extended drives a norm, Cohen will shine again.

Shame. He was rarely used right. Time for Williams to step up into the #2 spot. Should do well there.

Why is everyone acting like PUP means he's out for the season? Williams was the #2 anywau

Was clearly still limping at vet minicamp. Not likely to be very effective anytime soon....

The best thing to do would be to give him about a month to get in shape even when he does get to 100 percent. The Bears have enough Back they don't need him week one, or at least not the version of him they would likely have.

I thought it was a savvy deal actually. Paying anyone is fraught with risk though.
