Not necessarily. Mike Davis will assume the Mizzell / Cunningham role

That's not a 3 million dollar role. They played less than 10% of the offensive snaps last year. And that's with Howard playing just 58% of the snaps. Leveon would likely play much more than that.

It’s either fans salivating over huge splashes in FA or want several comp picks. There can be no in between.

Depth but like I said I think Cohen will become more and more of a WR. Davis could become the player to take the rest of the carries from Bell. There’s a million different ways Nagy’s can do this.

This is when the whole "not enough footballs" thing would come into play for me. I think part of the reason to get rid of Howard is to get Cohen more touches. He only played 46% of the snaps. LeVeon is a workhorse that doesn't really come off the field. I think you're either minimizing Cohen if you have Bell out there 80% of the time. Or you don't get your money's worth for Bell if you don't get him 250 carries and 80 catches like he's done in the past.

Nagy would make it work.

Honestly, that's how it should work for good teams. If you don't want to re-sign your guys for whatever reason, you either need to upgrade them for more money and give yourself a chance to get over the hump, or be prepared to draft their replacements. If you aren't clearly upgrading them in free agency, then you go for the comp picks. 4th round comps are top 150 players. These are guys that often become starters. The Bears have 5 of those guys they drafted starting currently on their roster.

Not sure who this person is but would be crazy if they add Thomas

Well, they are paying $13mil for Buster, Davis, and Patterson. Could have just signed Bell, kept Howard, played mcmanis at nickel and probably still get comp picks. But what do I know!

Dorsey isn't fucking around

It'll be nice to see the browns actually win

Correct make big splashes or take the comp picks.

Didn’t the Bears start the new league with under 35 players under contract? And you expected them not to sign several free agents? Or just sign one or two and have no money left over to fill the roster? This shouldn’t be hard to understand.

Whose the remaining Safeties? Bears going to go after one or just draft one?

Thank God the Browns aren't in our division, 70% of CCS would be committing suicide right now!

It sounds great on paper, but I don’t like this love for them. I don’t see Thomas staying very healthy from here on out.

the bottom of the 4th often become starters?! You sound like the trade down clowns trying to get all 4th round picks
