I’m currently working on a mock draft and a mock season. I'll, hopefully, get my mock draft done today. I'm not sure when my mock off-season'll get done. One of the ideas that I’m toying around with is trading Khalil Herbert. I see him at his highest value, right now. There is no argument about Herbert being the better runner, but that’s where his value ends.
The context of this trade is that we keep David Montgomery. We re-sign him for about 5-8 million on a deal that’s basically a 2-year deal that’s front-loaded. Why? It’s obvious to the league that he’s not a starter. He’s not. He will have a role to play. Montgomery will play the power back role with the ability to be a receiver.
Montgomery will be the AJ Dillon role. This leaves us to what is Khalil Herbert’s role going forward? I don’t think he has a place on the Bears next year. What kind of heresy is this? Simple. He’s not as effective of a pass blocker and pass catcher as Herbert. He creates a tell, a tendency, a key that can allow for teams to play us differently.
Bring in Clyde Edwards-Helaire for Herbert. Why not? He’s no longer in KC’s plans, and he would bring everything Herbert does well, with the added addition of having sick hands. He was averaging 8.9 yards a reception this year!
KC would get to dump his salary and pick up a back that should work well in their offense. They may even throw in one of their 7th comp picks since we’re picking up his 2 million dollar contract. We would have him under contract for the next two years. We have over a 119 million in cap space; whereas, the Chiefs have 17 million. It’s not too bad, but I’m sure they’d like a couple more to play with.
