...not sure Bears trade for that

he'll be 30 and coming off an injury

He's a walking injury, getting old, expensive and never has had great production.

He's a walking injury, getting old, expensive and never has had great production.

Yes, and that’s not going to get better with age.

I was looking at his stats, this is crazy, he’s never fumbled the football in the NFL. Not one time with 319 touches…

We don't talk about Leonard Williams enough as an option for us and he can play inside and outside.

His comments on the group:

“Before franchise and/or transition tags are applied, this is the deepest and most diverse group in the free-agent class. Unfortunately, it’s going to be expensive to shop in this store. You better not show up with a dollar-pinching budget for a day at Saks.

Pass rushers are at a premium, and there might be 10 or 12 options for teams to upgrade. Expect at least two or three of the top guys to come off the list before free agency starts, but those are the proven commodities with a full body of work.”

Why the Chicago Bears signing Aaron Brewer in free agency makes too much sense

The Chicago Bears are going to need to sign a center this offseason, considering it is one of their biggest positions of need. There are plenty of options avail

Push for Cush

Chicago Bears would be silly not to pursue Llyod Cushenberry in free agency

The Chicago Bears are going to need to address the center position this offseason. One name that is going to consistently be connected to the team in free agenc

Agree with this. I have KJ Osbourne and Noah Brown as two of my top WR's i'd want in free agency as our #3 or #4 and Tyler Scott will be the other.

Chicago Bears would be silly not to pursue K.J. Osborn in NFL free agency

The Chicago Bears are going to need comprehensive receiver help in free agency this offseason. One name that would make sense for them to sign would be Minnesot

[playthrough2001]

The list has been updated. Hunter is now his number one FA. Chris Jones is 2. Barkley is 3.
Wilkins is 6.

By the way, Mooney is number 21. The top rated receiver is Ridley at 15.

Justin Jones is number 27.

 

[Bearly]

Mooney is his #2 WR, just a few back from Ridley.

Monday is going to be fun!

I hope we go after him. I know we just traded for Bates, but Cushenberry would start at center for the next 8 years for Williams.

Poles needs to stop playing moneyball with the center position.

I hope we go after him. I know we just traded for Bates, but Cushenberry would start at center for the next 8 years for Williams.

Poles needs to stop playing moneyball with the center position.

I think it’s still a possibility. Bates is someone Poles obviously likes but he could very well be coverage for Jenkins and Davis. Those two aren’t exactly iron men. He might be insurance in case they can’t get a higher rated center to sign with them too.

We’ll find out soon enough.

About a week ago, I stated I’d love to see JJ, Hunter, and Cushenberry signed in the first wave.

They can bargain shop for a safety. I don’t think any of the receivers are worth a big contract either.

 

[playthrough2001]

With Jones getting signed last night, Hunter is ranked 1 and Barkley is 2.

I think they should sign them both.

Get Cushenberry too…

Bargain shop for a receiver and safety…

Supply will outstrip demand on safeties and the receiver group is pretty bland. I would take Gabe Davis on the right deal or Curtis Samuel.

AJ Epenesa is a younger guy with upside that played for the new Bear DC in Buffalo. He’s interesting if they can’t land Hunter. Greenard too…

Epenesa is 6’6” 260 so he has the size they want.

Greenard is 6’ 3” 263. Greenard has had injury issues and has missed a lot of games in his career.

Poles, here are your marching orders for today!​

“1. Danielle Hunter, Edge, Vikings (29)​

Hunter has been used from various alignments and is effective rushing the passer from all of them. He has upfield burst and countermoves to keep blockers guessing. He also understands how to set the edge with length and get off of blocks against the run. His skill set is hard to find, and despite entering his 10th season, he doesn’t turn 30 until October. Franchise tags thinned out the top group of pass rushers, so he should be coveted.— Randy Mueller

2. Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants(27)​

Barkley’s natural instincts and vision to create beyond the play’s design make him special. He finishes like a 232-pound back should, with power and lean, but has the rare trait to make defenders miss as well. He’s also detailed and controlled as a route runner, which makes him the best three-down back available, even with durability concerns (25 games missed in six seasons, three in 2023). More than just a running back, he is a weapon. Other teams might value him more than the Giants do. — Mueller

9. Lloyd Cushenberry III, C, Broncos (26)​

Cushenberry has the combination of strength and agility that everyone looks for in a center. He has now added a body of work to his resume and has shown improvement each season. He consistently sustains contact with controlling upper-body strength and active feet upon impact. He’s a really good player, and he appears likely to sign elsewhere given how much Denver has invested elsewhere up front. — Mueller

32. Gabe Davis, WR, Bills (25)​

Davis will not jump off the screen with his explosiveness, as he is more of a steady and consistent type. He is an easily identifiable target because of his size, especially versus zone defense. He can adjust and make catches outside his frame, and he’s physical while fighting through contact on his routes — being big and strong are obvious advantages. He is still developing as a route runner and as a coverage reader. Because of this, and given his age, he offers a lot of upside. He is solid in all areas, just not elite in any. — Mueller
