I can live with those refreshing their twitter feed.
It's the panicky little girls crying that "we haven't made any moves!" that baffle me. Good God, some peeps just want to whine.

@BradBiggs
Might not be a popular opinion but it's possible #Bears restructure with Khalil Mack was not intended for a splash move and was to create space needed for remainder of offseason moves and then the space necessary for the regular season.

He's a professional so he probably wouldn't care. Pace could've just told him it's going to make them more competitive.

Easy to do when you have Tom Brady. Let's see if they maintain these principles once Brady gone.

Not really. Bears don’t need it. They don’t need much for the draft (no 1st or 2nd), and they already let Amos walk.
I believe the Bears cleared room for a splash move, even if that splash move doesn’t come to fruition.

What if the Bears cleared space for Justin Houston and/or Earl Thomas?

Biggs is right on. Bears need "Oh shit he got injured" money.

Right? The bears started FA at around 20 mil. If you subtract 3 m for picks and udfas and 3 m for in season signings, that puts them at 14 m. They spent 7 m yesterday. Leaving them with 7 m for the rest of free agency. That's roughly 700k per player if they wanted to acquire 10 more guys (bringing their total to 12 acquisitions).
I don't know if they intended to make a splash move or multiple solid acquisitions, but I do know Biggs is off base.
More over, converting Mack's pay into a signing bonus hurts the Bears more next season when resigning players like whitehair would go into effect. So he's completely wrong on his analysis.

It was already built into the prior cap. So he's wrong.
