Its better to have one dominate player than 2 decent/good players

I think the Bears have enough money to compete on any 1 free agent with them.
If the Bears do not want to be outbid on Jackson by the Raiders they can make that a reality.

I think he's an overpay is the point. Two of those players can be or already just as good. Again, if the Bears sign him I'm not gonna throw a hissy fit or anything. He's a good player that will help the defense. Just think the resources can be more effectively used to improve multiple positions.
Plus, there are other high profile guys I'd rather have if they choose to go that route.

I would rather bears get quantity and 2nd tier quality. Raiders and Jaguars are landing at least two 1st tier free agents each. I would assume they go after offensive lineman.

Signing Jackson would be a transcendental cacophony of malevolent proportions.

I would love to see them get a top tier free agent like Malik Jackson and front load the shit out of the deal. The reason you do that is so in following years (when the Bears are hopefully serious contenders) his cap hit is manageable. Maybe that means we don't get to sign this years version of Antelle Rolle or Eddie Royal. So what? Get me a difference maker who'll be here for the next 5 years.
Oh, and cut Robbie Gould yesterday. Absolutely no reason to spend that type of money on a kicker when you're a rebuilding team. Pick one up with our 7th rounder and we'll be fine.

Malik Jackson isn't in J.J Watt or Muhammad Wilkerson territory. If somebody wants to pay him like one of those guys, let them have him.
Give me 2 other free agents for his 12-13 million a year asking price.

Why do people do this? JJ Watt isn't a free agent. He obviously would go for MUCH more than Jackson if he were. His deal was two years ago and the market was lower. So a guy who is a lessor talent two years later might very realistically make "JJ Watt" money due to rising salaries.

Couldn't the Bears front load the contract for the first year? With so much cap space and to get a great player at a position of need is a no brainer.

On the flip side, front loading the contract would prevent them from signing as many players. With the lack of depth and skill on this team, I'm not sure that's a good idea. Of course, they could back load the other deals but that's hardly ever a good idea.

so it begins........
Kaufusi pick 11 = 2.3 mil year one..... roughly 12 mil over four years plus that 5th year option......
spend the money elsewhere during the rebuild... its not like jackson is the missing piece for a 16 SB run

Kaufisi is a round 3 pick.

Not that I think one way or another about Jackson, but the "they aren't going to the Super Bowl next year" excuse gets way over used.

Wherever he is drafted, it won't be at #11.

We're high on cap space and low on talent. Jackson would be more of an impact player than Trevathan. It would be a great signing.

What an awful point. So because Jackson won't help them win a ring in '16, you shouldn't go after him even if he can help in '17 or '18.
God damn do I now hope Kaufusi gets drafted in the fourth. Go away.

ive never used it.... but who knows its the nfl.. teams go from shitty to decent from year to year...
how about i dont think 12-14 mil is worth 5 sacks.... moreso i feel that money can be used to fill multiple needs the bears have.. if Jackson was that missing piece on a playoff ready team, id say go for it. Also, if they do pay the man..... im not losing any sleep over it.
