I'm actually okay with that. I just want the next QB to have a Vet with continuity at the position. I know it's just a center, but Bears line needs that more than any other spot on the line. Especially, for a rookie QB.
You are acting like Bates doesn’t have experience which he has plenty of therefore completely nullifying your reasoning.

Jacobs was the Raiders pick from the Bears Kahlil Mack trade. Would be fitting.

Jacobs is basically the same back they already have. Not a route runner (zero TD catches in 5 seasons), not a 3rd down guy, not a home run hitter.

Would be a weird signing.

Bears can afford to wait and sign someone decent later for RB.

Really need:
QB
WR
S
EDGE
TE
OL

Yep. Don't get it.

Bring back Herbert & Johnson....pick up a 3 down/special teams back in 3rd waive of FA and draft another Johnson type in RD 4 or 5.

If Bears spend big at RB I'll start to question this regime a bit more.

I am not a fan of spending on second contracts for RB, but if they do it's gotta be someone who is a real dual threat, a guy who can motion out and and beat an LB on a real route. That puts pressure on a defense. limits what they can do. Jacobs can't do that. Very few RBs can.

Back to back off-seasons of splurging for a ILB and then a RB in FA....yeah...that would bother me.
