What should the Bears do with Tarik Cohen?

[bufordht]

If I am reading his contract right, you only save about 2 million by cutting him. If you really need the extra cash, so be it.

Otherwise I give him another year in what will be a completely transformed offense from his perspective. If he can produce, give him a team friendly extension. If not, good luck elsewhere in 2023.

This and it's obvious. You do need 3 running backs after all, so you're gonna pay someone to fill his roster spot.

Best case scenario when cutting him is a net gain of 1.5m cap give or take.

Best case keeping him is he does well and you flip him for a pick next year or keep him if he's that good.

Cohen has great hands. Nagy just rarely sent his RBs out on routes after 18. Hard to judge anyone on offense with that idiot at the helm.

What should the Chicago Bears do with RB Tarik Cohen here in the offseason? They can cut him to save some cap space which makes for an interesting debate for Ryan Poles.

Chicago Bears 2022 Mock Offseason Part One: Clearing Cap Space

Our annual mock Chicago Bears offseason series is live as we get into part one including some cuts, contract restructures and more.

I like what Andrew Freeman proposed: a pay cut to the vet min with performance escalators.

If Cohen can come back in this O, and he can look anything like he did, he will give us a great weapon.

That gamble is worth keeping him around. His benefit to being cut is marginal. Blame Pace, okay, but, at the end of the day, it is what it is, and we should keep him to see what we’ve got.

Yeah, I like the idea of asking him to take a voluntary 2.9 million pay cut.

Shoot, let's just ask the whole team to take pay cuts. Then they can sign all the big name free agents and ask them to take pay cuts too.

If they cut Cohen he definitely gets signed somewhere, there's zero reason for him to agree to take the vet minimum when the alternative is hitting the open market.

Btw, 2.5m of this year's salary becomes guaranteed this month.

Evaluate his progress before camp and go from there. How could anyone here know what to do?

Cant read the article just now, but...

Definitely see if he's healed. Hadn't heard anything that he can't or hasn't healed.

He's a decent slot receiver and used properly can shoot holes and do some scat runs. So if he's healthy Id keep him.

At this point are we sure he can run at all? Last I saw was him walking with a limp a year after his injury. Nothing against the man, but for me he is an easy cut.

 

[puckthefackers]

wish him well
