The problem is the Bears have so many holes to fill. Some will be through draft picks and some through FA. With Okereke you get a guy who knows the system which is beneficial for the defense.
It's a Cover 2 system, no? That's not really unique these days with teams generally moving away from single-high.
Look how well that worked out with Alquadin Muhammad, oh wait...
Someone who makes less than Okereke will either only save $4-6M (roughly the same difference between Roquan and this hypothetical contract for Okereke), or be replaced by a rookie (and using a third or fourth rounder for one isn't out of the question here). This for a linebacker that will be on the field most of the game.
I don’t think that’s a wise use of dollars, but I could see Eberflus wanting a LB, since he was a LB coach for so many years.
Bears need a legit #1 Wr and none of those guys are that. I don’t think any of them are worth spending big money on.
I think it’s a position that needs to be addressed but there are better options out there
Well that’s kinda what I was referring to.
Does that mean it’s going to happen with every player who knows the system already? Coaches tend to bring in players that know their system. It’s nothing new.
So by that logic, then Buckner wouldn’t work out either!
Giants QB's were 9/16, 82 yds and 1 INT against arguably the worst defense in the league. Good job Slayton.
Yeah the Giants won but Jones stats for that game were not $94 mil guaranteed type of stats. He ran for a couple TDs but he was also facing a peewee defense.
Brisker isn’t questioning the W. He’s questioning the contract Jones received which is valid. Everyone knows that was a stupid contract to give Jones.
