REPORT: Chicago Bears Beat Out In Trade Bid For Star Pass Rusher

The Chicago Bears were in a conversation for a pass rusher. They missed out on the bid that went through on Wednesday.

Damn Judon would've been a great addition to this D line.

Eberflus really prioritizes the edge rushers to be able to stop the run as well as rush the passer, I'd be surprised if they go after Reddick.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Wonder if Ngakoue gets signed now.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Patriots probably figured that the Bears will be picking 96th in the 3rd round so they said no.

 

[Nelly]

Wonder if Ngakoue gets signed now.

Austin Booker has looked better so far this preseason than Ngakoue looked all last year.

Agreed

 

[remydat]

Yeah after watching the preseason game and Hard Knocks I am fine with giving Booker a chance.

Reddick costs too much so maybe just see what shakes out of camp cuts. Wouldnt sign Naga for more than 3-5million.

Wellp that sucks. Judon woulda been amazing, but probably not for a 3rd.

Still need a 4th. Booker has absolutely earned his spot as one of the top 3-4 though

CCS is doing the DRob thing again. Let’s not base preparation for the season on how a rookie does in a preseason game against backups.

Sweat
Walker
Booker
+ one or likely two of
Robinson/Hardy/Martin

They actually need a 4th DT more than they need an edge....can see them keeping

Billings
Dexter
Pickens
+ FA picked up after cuts

Walker likely plays a decent chunk of DT this year so probably edge

Either one is fine but they are super super thin all over the dline.

I'd say that Robinson/Hardy (even Martin before his injury) have shown more than any 4th DT (and Pickens hasn't really jumped out either)

4 DT + 4 DE + 1 swing (walker)

Could also see them adding to either spot around the trade deadline

He got reps with the first team and against Dion Dawkins in particular. I also was quite clear I would look to camp cuts or Naga so didnt say we should just count on him.

Who exactly is out there that is better/affordable?

A trade for Reddick? Guy won't even report to the team who just traded for him

Yannick? 2.5 mil per sack last year was a waste of money and sounds like he wants similar

If they stay healthy on the oline; maybe they can trade borom for a similar young backup de.....

Other than that; they're gonna play/rely on booker...DE might be the easiest spot for a mid round rookie (or any rookie) to produce

 

[JGONBORICUA14]

wonder if we shift to reddick now

 

[Nelly]

The Jets have said they're not trading him, and why would they? They lost Bryce Huff so they can't afford to lose Reddick as well.

 

[remydat]

Judon is making 6.5mil and due to age and injury risk probably would settle for 15million

Reddick is making 14.5 million and appears to want 20mill+ so not really an option for us even if the Jets were willing to trade.

I might be one of the few, but I wouldn’t want Poles trading for either Judon (off the table) or Reddick. Do the Bears need another pass rusher, 100% but give someone like Booker a legit chance. Maybe he is that next Crosby.
