At least they are updating on lobster roll incentivesWe really don't know much about health until the 6th. ( I think that's the first required official report)

Poles spent a 2nd on him. I can guarantee you if he plays well he is high on the priority list. They will keep money available.
Making a mistake in spending a 2nd on a WR is no reason to put an average at best WR high on any priority list other than cut candidates. What does Claypool bring to the table that a rookie 1st round WR wouldn't bring? What does Claypool bring that any other free agent WR next couldn't bring for similar or less money? What does Claypool bring to the table that Mooney doesn't already?
This coming offseason the Bear will keep money available for the potential number 2 WR across from Moore, but it won't be for Claypool.
Claypool does have the jump ball ability that Mooney does not. But that's about it.Making a mistake in spending a 2nd on a WR is no reason to put an average at best WR high on any priority list other than cut candidates.

Clay pool can run through DB’s and he had that drip and steal your girl rizzClaypool does have the jump ball ability that Mooney does not. But that's about it.
This is true. Ccs makes fun of him for being in touch with his feminine side, and even call him a gaywad, but if you saw @Montucky in real life you'd know that it's all jealousy. Looking like a broke hobo does not equate to masculinity.Clay pool can run through DB’s and he had that drip and steal your girl rizz
That salary cap includes the current rollover, which would be less with Taylor signed. But you're right, still quite a bit. If they did put a lot of that $ in 2023, though, and they would have to per your plan, it would really cut into their ability to make other moves throughout the season this year. They currently have around $15m, which would go down to probably $5m or so.
They don't have to hit a floor every year, it's on a rolling basis. Personally, I'd rather bolster the lines than RB.
Even if I am wrong on Claypool, do you think the Bears are going to spend that money on keeping both Mooney and Claypool? One of them will be the odd man out and even with what they would pay for that #2 WR, it shouldn't impact what the Bears can do if they were to pay JT.Nothing I say will convince you now obviously. But I still have high hopes for the kid.
@run and shoot I always told you this guy was awful
I dont know the answer to this, but if you know please let me know...but how much do most teams spend on acquiring players during the year? With teams having practice squads and 52 player roster, I wouldn't imagine $5M being a death blow to the Bears ability to make moves, and restructuring current contracts and other cuts could clear needed cap space.
And I get wanting to bolster the lines and I agree, but what free agents are out there right now that would make a bigger impact than Taylor? At this point outside of a trade, I don't see there being a player that would be a must have this season.

Teams usually like to keep a bit for potential trades, and signing vested vets after cuts (eg Josh Sitton). I think the Bears might be in this position, although I'm not sure how much teams spend on average.I dont know the answer to this, but if you know please let me know...but how much do most teams spend on acquiring players during the year?

I wasn't sure if Courtney was on a first name basis with Kmet. Turns out there is actually a Cole on the team...
