Maybe building up cap for a trade?
Wish it was the other CW but I’ve seen no reports that the Bears are interested
Maybe building up cap for a trade?
my guess is that it just offers flexibility for this year seeing as how unused cap gets rolled over into the next year still, I believe.
This is interesting. Bears have more cap space now this year and less next year.
Went from 12 to 21 now.
I am curious about the total world of possibilities. I am not surrendering the idea of this year, I just do not know who all is available.I would prefer a center first as it is apparently harder to get a good one, then guard. I am not sure I want one at 2 though unless they're an absolute stud. I ideally think 3rd and/or 4th round.
Eloquently expressed.I am curious about the total world of possibilities. I am not surrendering the idea of this year, I just do not know who all is available.
Personally, I think that Shelton and Bates are good options to test out at Center and am less worried there. My concern remains at Guard, where the talent issues are compounded by availability issues. I have high hopes for Jenkins though! Should Zach Martin turn in another good year in Dallas at his age, I wouldn't be opposed to offering him a 1 year deal when he enters FA in 2025. That with a top 100 draft pick at Guard would satisfy me, should the men on contract here and now not cut it.
Seems to be he negotiating with Seahawks and expects to sign soonWish it was the other CW but I’ve seen no reports that the Bears are interested
boys, just saw darnell wright ,jenkings and nate davis are all participating in walk through![]()

I doubt they practice but at least this means they are close to back and likely play on saturdayGentlemen….. reattach your dicks!
Holy shit that is a team friendly deal. Credit Poles for getting this done before Lamb and Chase get their big payday.my guess is that it just offers flexibility for this year seeing as how unused cap gets rolled over into the next year still, I believe.
True, but it hasn't been for a lack of trying, on the O line in general. Starting LT in the 2022 draft Plus two other shot in the dart board of drafting picks, first round pick RT last year. Bring in what was supposed to be a solid Guard. Brings in four Center/Guard types. For whatever reason, things have not worked out in this regard other than the two tackles. Wait and see with the four interior linemen they picked up, Bates, Curham, Shelton and Pryor. It isn't exactly like they are ignoring the O line. Just hasn't worked out as planned. Same could be said about the D line oddly enough. No 3 tech (maybe), no second DE but again, not for lack of trying.Fair question. I guess it depends on when you start counting. One could argue that the count "started" for the Bears when Poles arrived. Poles has done a lot to improve the roster and should be given credit for that. But building a strong offensive line, particularly in the interior (arguably the most important part), has not been one of them

Gabe Carimi?The O-Line is still to be determined at this point. Guys skipping a couple practices with minor injuries really means nothing. What matters is if they can actually play together in Waldron's offense.
I get the skepticism though. The Bears have not had a good offensive line since the mid 2000s. They have either neglected it over the years or drafted the wrong players. I mean, they drafted the one fucking guy from Wisconsin who didn't turn out to be great. One of the most reliable schools to draft an OL and they found the one that sucked lol.
Damn the extension looks really team friendly, really shows how frontloaded the garaunteed money is, only $8M of dead money after age 30 which is way less than I expected from the initial $82M garaunteed number.

Yannick.....come on down.
