Me too I thought they already did. Guess not.Rather trade for Slayton over Golladay

Tee's the youngest, most reliable, most potential. I don't think we're giving up any draft capital though
The trade that should been made was a 4th or 5th round draft pick for Amari Cooper in the off-season, but Poles whiffed on that opportunity. The only player better than Cooper out of the ones mentioned is Michael Thomas, and he's already 29 and usually hurt. The rest of this cast is meh and probably not worth giving up any meaningful draft capital for.
Thomas and Higgins aren't going anywhere. I know their teams are off to bad starts, but both teams have hopes of competing this year. And nobody wants anything to do with Michael Thomas' contract, which is probably why he's even still in NOLA.
Also, the Steelers are nowhere near "packed" at WR. Other than Claypool they only have Diontae Johnson and George Pickens who are worthwhile. Gunner Olszewski, Miles Boykin, Steven Sims? They are all worse than anyone on the Bears roster. Austin III is hurt. Anthony Miller is also hurt. They aren't that deep to give away Claypool. But he'd be my 1st choice.
I could see Robby Anderson, Golladay and if Cincy trades anyone it would be Tyler Boyd.
0 interest in Golladay. Anderson would be OK. He isn't all that good, all that young or all that cheap. Boyd would be nice, but I don't know if they trade him either.
Well they already gave up a 7th rounder on N.Harry and that's blown up in their face so far but haven't heard anything about him and he could be ready to play week 5.The previous regime was quick to trade away valuable draft capital, and hopefully that's all over now.
My guess is that the Bears are going to go with what they have, and any new additions this year is likely through the waiver wire or minor free agent signings.
The Bears are looking to shed dead money, stockpile draft picks, and rebuild this team the right way.
At least I hope so. The culture here has to change.
Allen Robinson and Brandon MarshallAs much as we want a big name like Higgins or Thomas, we always get the Anderson or some other under used 3rd or 4th receiver that never pays dividends. I mean what are some of the biggest bears wide outs signed from free agents or traded for?
He ran that 40 like 8 years ago. He's still plenty fast, but I don't think we need to base anything on 40 times that are almost a decade old.robby anderson......4.36-second 40-yard
Sign this one
