Should Bears shop Kyle Long this off season for a receiver?

Kyle Long for T.Y. Hilton? Quenton Nelson is a possibility in this draft as a replacement.

Bears fans will typically overestimate the value of players they have fallen in love with over the years. Right now, Long would probably fetch a 5th rounder. He's more valuable as a starter.

A fifth rounder sounds about right, but I think you have to wait until you draft his replacement and even then I think they need to look at replacing Sitton too. At this point keeping Long, even with his injuries concerns, is likely the most realistic outcome.

Long is injured, he's had/having 3 surgeries... he can't be traded...

The Bears are cutting Sitton. The tell was you heard he was being dangled at that the trade deadline last year. Nelson would be Sitton’s replacement.

Long is not being traded. No one is going to give us a number 1 WR for him.

If we are going to trade overvalued Bears players, I suggest Eddie Goldman for Antonio Brown.

No one would trade anything for Long. He's injured and expensive.

I'm sure we could get something for K.Long but that damn sure wouldn't be TY Hilton.

Cut him, sign Norwell, draft Nelson. Trubisky never worries about pressure up the middle again. Ever.

No need to trade him right now. However, if the Bears are not in playoff contention at the trading deadline then yes. Trade for draft picks, or young player who is under contract for years.

That's because it was a stupid idea then, just as it is now. Not to mention it makes zero sense.


Looking at your sig gif.....Inman came very close to spiking Trubisky ......

He’s one of the top paid g in the league and can’t finish a season wtf you think you going to get a 5th rounder? He’s more useful on the team then a 5th rounder
