I'm more upset about the Bears not drafting anyone yet. The fuck is Pace doing?

Doubt it happens but you know I would love if the Bears went all in on Olivier Vernon. Last year he led the league in quarterback hurries, with 41, and Pro Football Focus rated him as its third-best edge defender in 2015, behind Von Miller and Khalil Mack. Only 25 years old, hitting his prime. It's rare guys like that hit the market. He's going to cost a lot but I think it would be worth it. We could trade Young and/or Houston to some 4-3 team.

Very funny.
You won't be laughing when the Bears pass on all the worthwhile FAs to save a few bucks

#Broncos continue to work on restructuring deals for LT Ryan Clady & LB DeMarcus Ware. The hope & belief is both stay in Denver.

TE Antonio Gates earned a two-year, $12M deal from the #Chargers. Has meant so much to that franchise. Will likely finish his career in SD.

It's real tough to say it's a bad deal at this time. Did signing Jackson disallow them to get another FA? It's too early to tell. Has Jackson underperformed based on his contract? Again, it's too early to tell.
Let's say he magically becomes the next JJ Watt and some how the Jags were the only ones to spot his potential. In that case it's a good deal.
Personally I think it will be more like the Jags TE signing from last year, Julius Thomas, who underwhelmed in an injury filled first season.

More on a potential #49ers deal with #Broncos for Colin Kaepernic: John Elway has as close a relationship with Trent Baalke as with any GM.

Adding to your point, The pending FA moves this year didn't help him win the Superbowl last year...
He fucked this thing up before it even started...

Pace is trying his best but these FA are seeing crazy $$ and agents going back asking for more
We might not get Trev ...I'm serious we may not get him....

With this large jump in salary cap everyone has money to spend so you have to overpay. The other option is to sit back and let all these teams fill up their new cap and be in a better position in the next few years. It sucks but that might be what we are looking at doing. Staying patient, build threw the draft. Anyone want to buy season tickets for this year? Lol

I do too but GMs are tying to be smart
Denver thought they had Brock now it's not 100% because the agent going to Houston for more$$
Several other "deals" with multiple teams are folding like cheap Walmart chairs...
I think we may see more activity in the next few days or next week if these asking prices continue to rise....
There are not many quality FA on market so they are driving up asking prices

Contray to my earlier post I think the Bears need to grab a core defender. Someone that they want the other players in the locker room to gravitate to when things go sideways. Ideally it's an ILB position, but that type of leadership can come from other spots on the field.

I cant really blame the agents for trying to squeeze more money from the tight fisted Bears. If Pace wants to see his master plan happen he apparently is going to have to pay more money than he thought he was. I do not believe the Bears are pursuing Damon Harrison but now that Ian Williams is off the market I would prefer Harrison to Hicks because NT's are rarer than 5techs with pass rush skills. Harrison Eddie and a good not great LDE would be a formidable run stopping front three. If only Pace would consider trading for Wilkerson and making a trade with the Jets. That would thicken the plot real fast in Halas Hall.
