Tampering Sunday

Or they just weren’t interested in Landry at all

I really think we DO get one of ARob/Watkins, and then Wilson sounds like a done deal. I also think we'll draft at least one WR.

 

[dabears70]

Being realistic? People probably won't like this but...

1. Bears lose out on A-Rob sweepstakes to either Baltimore or 49ers. CCS goes full meltdown.
2. Bears sign Zach Fulton as first FA.
3. Bears match Kyle Fuller offer - 4yr/52 million/28 million guaranteed.
4. Bears sign Mike Wallace and Albert Wilson as their WR free agents
5. Bears sign Bashuad Breeland, CB.
6. Bears sign Jeremiah Attaochu and Aaron lynch at OLB.

Little bit different then my mock but that was trying to be optimistic. This would be my prediction. It's not horrible really. Mike Wallace could be a stop gap and I think the Bears would definitely need to go WR early in the draft.

I wouldn't be mad at that at all. I mean it would suck not to get A.Rob or Sammy but there's just better options with other teams that also have plenty of money to spend.

Fuck that, it’s A rob or I’ll be ripping my dick off. We didn’t amass 753 posts for no reason.

On a side note Sammy Watkins would be okay as well.

I hate when people try to pass pessimism off as realism. That shit is lousy.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

We will sign a lot of guys - new and old.

Bears currently have the lowest amount of players under contract in the league. I believe it’s 45. They need to sign a boat load.

How is that lousy? Have you looked at the list of free agents this year? There isn't many big names out there to get at all.

You don't get it. At that point its about who is the best player available for TRADE. Not free agents.

 

[Da Coach]

A Rob
Albert Wilson
Jimmy Graham
Dontari Poe

Its like Christmas eve and we're all dreaming of getting that Red Ryder BB gun but instead we end up getting the pink nightmare pajama's from the senile aunt.

Its the average troll response. Just like the stupid argument against Pace's previous free agent classes. Its easy to say they missed on getting the top free agents but once you get past those guys there is a bunch of meh available. Usually none of them are great or cheap. Much harder to then say who the alternatives are or were.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Robinson
Fuller
Wilson
Breeland
Fulton

That's my wish list and would be a great haul for Pace.

Its lousy because of the amount of money they have, the market size and lifestyle of Chicago, and the need they have at WR and to only come away with Mike Wallace and Albert Wilson.

Wallace is pointless, they might as well keep Wheaton and see if he has better chemistry with this coaching staff if you just want a guy to stretch the field.

 

[JordanHoward24]

I would be happy with Albert Wilson, Trey Burton, Zach Fulton, and Taylor Gabriel.

I was talking about the whole list not just which WR's we came away with and i don't think getting all the players on that list would be lousy. I'd actually rather it be P.Richardson and A.Wilson over M.Wallace and Wilson, of course this is if we can't get one of Sammy/A.Rob. They are the only two #1 WR's in free agency and some wouldn't even call Sammy a #1 so for the Bears to get one of those two will be very tough with all the other teams that will be bidding on them.

It will be tough as I’m sure it always is but don’t go making preemptive excuses for Pace. He is in a huge market and unlike Cali or NYC the Bears are the only show in town. The ONLY acceptable reason for him to miss on both targets is if another team pays them a ridiculous amount. That means $17-$18M average per year or $50M guaranteed.

I don’t want Richardson either but some of the other predictions were ok like Aaron Colvin

So players won't choose a team cause of the weather or where they or their family want to live or because they have friends on the team or because they like where the team is going or the state taxes or whatever other reasons?? Come on now. Why is it making excuses when it's the truth? I would love for someone to actually answer that question please??

There's 2....just two top WR's on the market in Sammy and A.Rob....just 2 and people seem to think that if the Bears don't get one then R.Pace sucks. So does that mean that every GM that doesn't get the player they bid on with multiple other teams suck or is it just R.Pace??

90 man roster for OTAs. 7 draft picks, probably 12-14 UDFAs. They'll probably sign over 20 players, including re-signs.

Well, Nogento has stated that Pace will sign all of the Lions garbage. The Remy 2.0 of the Bears forum #calledithe'sneverwrong.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Ravens aren't getting much in free agency. They don't have much cap room, correct?
