Geno is a free agent, and I think Seattle is the team that would be the most likely to trade up for a QB with Chicago. They have plenty of draft capital as you mention. If things remained how they are right now, I think the Bears would take #4 and #35 and maybe a 5th for #2. That leaves them with either Carter or Anderson and that extra pick at the top of round two. Makes sense for SEA too if they want that QB, small price to pay.
Carolina would be #2, WAS isn't going to have the resources because Poles needs to dramatically improve the talent level next year.
The SEA trade would also screw Detroit.

Considering his name, how he looks and his position, he couldn't have landed in a more perfect spot really.

Bodes really well for us to secure the 2nd spot, and if we're really lucky, the 1st. Our remaining schedule is:
Home to the Packers
BYE
Home to the Eagles
Home to the Bills
At Lions
Home to the Vikings
The Rams and Broncos are the ones we really care about, and they play each other before the season ends. So we just need the loser of that game to win or tie and we could have the 2nd pick locked up.

Probably because that is their current draft position. Don't think he is trying to make predications based on your guarantees. When the Bears draft position drops then guess what he can change it.

The simple reality is this IMO. Fields will run less and throw more when the Bears have the talent for him to believe positive outcomes will result from his doing so.
He is Michael Jordan early in his career.
Fields throwing short may save his body just like Jordan passing instead of driving to the rim and taking a hard foul may save his. But if the guys around them arent talented enough to make giving up the ball a path to winning, they arent going to do it. Hence why Jordan was considered a ball hog until he got talented guys like Pippen he could trust to deliver.
So quick passes may save Fields body but it will be at the expense of scoring because the other players arent talented enough to to put up points throwing short. Hence why a competitor like Fields will prefer to risk his body making something happen.

Really good read. Interesting that he played his last year in HS with a torn labrum even when he had already signed with Wisconsin. Everyone was telling him to have season ending surgery but he played because it was the last chance he would get to play with his teammates that he grew up with.
Also interesting that TJ Edwards was a mentor of sorts at Wisconsin as he is definitely someone the Bears should look into signing this offseason. It would come full circle if Edwards helped recruit Sanborn to Wisconsin and then Sanborn returns the favor by helping to recruit Edwards to the Bears.

Was listening to Solomon Wilcots on SiriusXM NFL this morning discussing "Should the Packers Rest Aaron Rodgers" and he said the following:
"The Packers have the Bears coming up. Did you see what Mike White did to the Bears? That's not a defense it's a REMNANT of a defense. That's not a defense, it's spare parts!"
You say rest I say bench but I have to admit the guy can turn a phrase. He also said they have to get a long look at Jordan Love either now or in the final two regular season games and that they should exercise his 5th year option in any case then entertain trade offers for either Love or Rodgers.

Jimmy G is also a FA,
There is a chance ARod wants a trade, etc.
LA Rams are actually above you in draft order if not for the missing bye week.
Sean Mcvay is considering shutting done Stafford,Kupp, and Aaron Donald. Add to that Ashon Robinson and Allen Robinson are out for season for sure. I do not see them anymore likely to win a game than the Bears, and in all likely hood each team wins one, thus keeping the Rams ahead of the Bears.

Yes, everyone knows Detroit can still get the #2 pick.
No one gives a fuck about Jimmy G.
None of this has anything to do with my post.

Edwards would low key be a huge and relatively cheap addition for this team in the offseason. Sign him, one of the dominant defensive tackles and a solid corner would be great FA moves on that side of the ball.

It's not their current draft position because the bye week is a given.

Denver also has the edge over the Bears......remaining opponents:
Ravens
Chiefs
Cardinals
Rams
Chiefs
Chargers
so even if LA was to beat the Broncos, it only means Denver slides up to the number 2 position, which is owned by Seattle.
