My guess is he doesn’t want a slow ass RB that tap dances behind the line too much.

Would love a trade down, then drafting Bijan Robinson. But only if we don't have better options at 3T/Edge/OT.
If not, Zach Charbonnet in the late 2nd/3rd looks really good.

It's been said the Bears were "in" on multiple free agents such as McGlinchy, Dremont Jones this year and settled on secondary options. I'm pretty sure Poles made some calls for some OLineman last year. And I'm sure I've heard of others but need to research who.

Yep - the draft is the best option. So many good backs.

Monty could absolutely pass block and his pass catching wasn't bad like Herbert's is. I have been on the moving on from Monty even though i'm a huge fan of him and how hard he ran and how good of a locker room guy he was.

I'm glad Montgomery got a second deal and also glad it wasn't from the Bears.

Montgomery was the last remaining member of the 2019 draft class.

Not liking it,, Monty sucks ass.
But as always, you seem confused, He will replace Jamall, not Swift.
I guess now we can find out for sure which of the two is better, running behind the same OL.

Aw man. Love that guy. This talk about paying Eckler more than him (plus draft picks) bugged me. Because Eck aint breakin tackles like Monty and Monty catches really well. Just because someone is a little bit scattier you pay more? I realize Monty isnt amazing but he's home grown and it's not a giveaway when he's on the field. He would have been great next year. I'll miss him.

do you understand how Free Agency actually works? Every team is in on several free agents that they ultimately don’t get to sign. It’s not as easy as you make it out to be

Bijan would look really good in a Bears uniform if Poles is able to trade down a bit and he’s still there.

For one, yes it's been said but we don't know for sure.
Second, it's reasonable to assume he did make calls, just like it's reasonable to assume he didn't think those guys were worth the money they're getting hence not topping offers when he could.
Based on what I've seen, it looks like Poles means what he says when he says he's selective in free agency while it's all about building through the draft.
