Myles Garrett requests trade

[msadows]

By that logic you never would trade for a top 5 type player. The Mack trade cost much more because he was younger just as a trade for Parsons would cost more than a 1st and 3rd not to mention the new contract demand.

This is the rare opportunity to get a guy that plays at an elite level that won't break the cap or set the team back for several years.

1) Garrett likely would want a reneged deal
2) It absolutely would set the team back, considering they have a lot of holes and finally have the ability to build a young team with draft capital.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Lions have been pretty successful drafting their core players and not being overzealous in trades and free agency and it’s worked out for them

Got to hit on draft picks to get this team on track. Stop squandering picks on losers like claypool and veelus got to get some Ws. With the 10th if they want de there will be plenty available that will complement sweat. Trading for garet is short term plus another 100 mil contract plus costing multiple picks. Need to get real here

Saw an article that tossed out this trade. I don't like it:

Chicago Bears trade: 2025 First-Round pick (No. 10 overall), 2025 Second-Round Pick (No. 41 overall), 2025 Fifth-Round Pick, CB Kyler Gordon

1. He has 3 years remaining on his contract and has mentioned nothing about wanting a new one. The Bears could simply make the rest of his contract guaranteed or rework an extension.

2. No one has said anything about multiple first rounders or several years of picks. The only way to get a blue chip talent like Garrett is to have a team with a top 5 pick or to get lucky with some guy no one else could find or develop.

This isn't hard, take the proven elite commodity and take advantage of the fact the Bears have extra draft capital.

Myles Garrett is a great player, but he turns 30 this year.

People never learn that trading away draft capital for aging veterans always backfires in the long run.

Bears just aren't one player away from contending.
I think we would all love for Poles to add an impact player....but not by burning through multiple highly valuable draft picks.

Pace had the right idea in 2018....except he drafted the wrong QB, F U Trubisky!!!!!!

 

[abegibronreborn]

FWIW: He was born in Arlington, Texas.

This does sound like something Jerruh might do.

It's weird that the Commanders drafted one pick after the Bears, and they earned that pick whereas the Bears were gifted theirs... And still people want to claim the Bears can't contend next season.

What is with some of these low esteem fans. The team underachieved with a dumbass coach and terrible health in the trenches. It's not that hard of a fix.

Good they can take Garrett and trade us Parsons for a second

No its not that hard of a fix but Washington had a horseshoe shoved up their ass in 2024 and will likely regress back to the mean next year and be closer to an 8-9 team. They went 9-4 in one score games (really 9-2 with 2 more losses by 8pts in which they scored late to make it more respectable even though the game was over). Daniels will likely kick ass in 2025 but they wont be so lucky.

If we're going to dream, then dream big!

As fun as that all sounds, it wasn't that long ago we gave up a bunch of assets for Khalil Mack. He was a force for a while, then became an expensive burden. That happens to pass rushers, even elite ones.

And the Bears never really got that far with Mack.

I'm not sure I want all my eggs in one basket.

I mean, Jerry might just be dumb enough to

That's where I drive the price if a division rival is trying to get him.

A division rival can't come close to giving them the 10th overall pick. They'd have to give up probably two first and more because those firsts are almost guaranteed to be in the 20's.

Beyond that, it's unlikely the Lions trade for him with so many other guys in line for big extensions, namely Hutchinson. We're in a unique position because of Caleb's rookie QB deal. The Vikings will have JJ on a rookie deal but already have Greenard and Dallas Turner. Garrett is obviously better than both but the position is much less of a need one than ours.

Washington has the least amount of players signed to contracts in the NFL so they very well could be a one year wonder. That doesn't change the fact many teams can turn things around in one off-season.

Garrett is literally a hall of fame level player and people are scoffing at adding him to the Bears unless they can somehow get him for peanuts...

That's ridiculous and dumb at the same time. People are so enthralled with having the highest paid right guard in the NFL that they would pass up on a once in generation player.

FYI the guy is 29 and won't turn 30 until the end of the 2025 season.

Also, he isnt some speed rush only passer that is showing signs of slowing down. He is a unicorn that uses speed+power+agility.

I absolutely agree they shouldn't give up multiple 1's for him because there is some risk involved but come on man, they have the assets and the cap space, and extra draft capital to fill in other needs so what's with all the excuses??

Maybe the Packers will offer Jordan Love they aren't winning anything with him anyway so might as well press reset.

Packers are a popular name thrown in the hat to be a good trade candidate. But all I meant by my response is that the last trade offer was awful in the article. That's the type of trade where I'm just a participant driving up price to keep everyone honest. I'd never give up what was in that proposal.

As for coming close to the 10th pick, I get that too. That pick would be roughly worth this years first (20's) and next years. They may need to toss in a 3rd or something for good measure.

Not to start another ***** session, but the Commanders QB play was superior to the Bears. The Commanders averaged 5.7 YPP (10th) and allowed 5.4 YPP (14th), so they were a pretty solid team last year regardless of luck. The Bears averaged 4.5 YPP (last) and gave up 5.9 YPP (31st)....that is a huge gap.

The Bears SHOULD be much better 4 years into a rebuild, but last year is a terrible indicator for future success. Poles is a bad GM and the Bears don't have any great players. The only way to think the Bears will contend next season is to basically give everyone a 'wash' for 2024 and figure that guys like Jaylon Johnson, DJ Moore, etc. will actually play well and Caleb Williams will be better than below average.

Caleb Williams had a great rookie season and people shouldn't be constantly dumping all on the kid just because other QBs on better coached offenses did better statistically than he did.

Washington had much better talent than people acknowledged and once they got rid of the bad coaching and added a QB with talent and some experience under his belt, they performed more in alignment of what they were capable of.

Calling Poles a bad GM is a lazy narrative. He has made some poor moves and some great moves. This team primarily underachieved because of scheme and coaching. There is a high probability that they can also have a similar turn around to Washington even if they don't have the same luck that they did.
