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.

Nothing I say will convince you now obviously. But I still have high hopes for the kid.

Claypool 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.

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.

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.

Browns waive Kellen Mond
The Browns aren't waiting until they finish their preseason schedule to start paring down their roster.
Remember when Chris Simms ranked him above Fields? ?

This is a move you make if you're close to winning a Super Bowl. I just can't bring myself to:
A: Spend a pick (or picks)
B: Spend lots of money
On a guy that:
A: Is coming off serious injury and has been overused since college
B: Plays the most replaceable position in the NFL
Would he make the Bears better? Yes! But I don't like the resources it would cost.

Maybe. Depends on the market I guess. I'd rather pay for a WR than RB.

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 don't think that RB bolsters the roster much more (I think the depth the Bears have is fine), especially at the expense of draft capital and financial flexibility. As I mentioned above, I think Taylor isn't really suited to one cut, nor am I a proponent of paying big money to RBs. So I have some existing biases against it anyway.

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