Poles will probably just sign a swing tackle and draft OL. He seems extremely confident on grooming OL.

I realize people didn’t want mcglinchey but he’d be a huge upgrade to borom.

Bears need to spend the money and are missing out on some top prospects. Hopefully they can still get a DL or a few OL that aren’t just minor upgrades.

They have to spend money this year though so why not secure a guy they really need for an extra few million?

They have the money
It’s not just throwing money at them and bam. Some want to play with other teams for reasons. That’s out of our control.

You never want to be caught giving FA deals on day 1 unless it’s a TJ Edwards type signing at a position not seen as that important. Poles is playing it right. Let the stupid money go off the board and pick your spots. Keep the powder keg dry for the second wave once the market for FA starts to narrow.

Jimmy g just keeps on winning

Dude is gonna make so much money for basically being just a good looking version of mitch trubisky.

Jimmy has massive deficiencies, its why the 9ers have been trying to move on from him since getting him.

Borom graded out as a better pass blocker.

You may very well be right. Interior OL has a lot of good options. Not sure on T, but as you say, he may feel he can identify one later.

I'm sure its part of some stupid smokescreen to draft a quarterback this year. And if it isn't then its a strong tanking move.

Just so you guys know Orlando Brown Jr. turned down a six year deal worth a hundred and forty million last summer. Mike McGlinchey might cost half as much as Brown Jr. when this is over. This is not an unreasonable deal and while I understand the Bears not matching it, they better not be giving that same sum to a guy like Jawaan Taylor or Kaleb McGary.
I hope they do just so you shut the **** up. Brown getting 36m/yr? lmao

If they can come away with Dawand Jones in the draft, I'll be super impressed.
