He is 29 and two more years of control. Plays a high level 3T , knows Eberflus system. His contract ends in 2024. Plenty of time to replace him with a draft pick.

Hargrave played 5 seasons before this one, where he averaged just over 4 sacks per year and about 3 TFL. As you mention (and I mentioned earlier) he's always had great players around him. I see his game as one that is more likely to regress over the next three years (compared to Buckner). That is obviously an opinion.
I don't think he's really in the same ballpark as Buckner in terms of his potential impact on the Bears' defense. I think Buckner's probably a top 5 IDL player in the league, and he is elite against run and pass. I think the Bears desperately need an elite IDL, and they have plenty of $ to spend. The only FA in Buckner's ballpark is Payne. If Payne actually gets to FA, I'd be more than happy with him and the extra pick. But I would also take both of them and give the Bears the best IDL in the league. I think that spending on DL is the best place to spend, other than QB.
I understand the argument, but I would take the elite talent now even if it means giving up a draft pick in 2024. The Bears would still have the #5 pick plus other extra premium picks in 2023 and 2024 in this scenario. In reality, it's probably unlikely that IND would even part with Buckner.

The NFL should just call all of last week's games as no contests. That would be the easiest solution. Bills should not have to go through this and then be screwed by playing wildcard weekend. Teams that were not in the playoffs are back in the playoff race and teams that are in the playoffs would be back out of the playoffs. I hope the NFL goes this route.

The NFL would never void games that have been played, nor should they.

0 chance this happens. I don't really think they should either.

I don't think they would but this is the route they should go. Keep all the stats from the game but make them no contests. It would make the last week of the season even more interesting. Plus it would screw the Packers (who would not be all for that
).- Status
