I’m gutted that it’s over for now but Succession should have an amazing last season here in the next couple weeks.

Which is why you don’t trade a DJ Moore during this off-season

Why did Bryce decline to run?

As of today I completely agree. And none of these free agents are as good as DJ so we are taking a drop regardless. Everyone on the market is a 2 or worse, or some super talented underachiever like the guys in Denver.

No. Because it’s about the value of more than just the player. It’s about how they impact the team. DJ Moore helps settle things for Chicago in what was the worst WR room to start the year. Fields now has a legit 1, and two 2s now. For us it takes away the only know quantity at pass catcher on our roster. Our rookie QB will likely be playing ball with other young players who haven’t had any real success in the NFL yet. It feels like more of a loss for us than just losing a good WR. We are now going to have guys playing out of position pending some major moves in free agency.

For those saying you could have had Richardson at 9, what happens if somebody trades up in front of us and takes him? Then there’s no. Orr first round talents at QB in this draft. We missed. You trade up to make sure you get your guy.

Chicagos OC is good and got things figured out around mid season before injuries piled up and took away Monty, two offense lineman, Mooney and Claypool. Things are looking up in Chicago.

I want to help out my rookie QB this year. I don’t want him going into this season knowing it’s a wasted year.

I’ve seen rookie QBs put up good numbers out of the gate. Outside of Pitts there’s no modern TE that has.

Note that rookie tight ends tend to not dominate the nfl in year 1.

Just remember rookie tight ends typically don’t offer tons of production as pass catchers. Only two ever went over 1k yards in their rookie years and there is no Pitts in this class.

And they will need to pay the QB soon

For a dude who tends to be elite and a bad locker room guy

That’s what Burrow and Chase were hinting at. I think they’ve all been talking about what cuts would need to be made to stay together.

Higgins was the one other WR with more upside than DJ that could be available. However, both Chase and Burrow said this off-season that Burrow knows how to get his money while making sure there’s enough for Chase and Higgins too. I don’t see the Bengals trading him.

Ginn and Olsen are superior to anything in this current WR room. What free agent are we adding that we can afford and they want to come play with a rookie QB? What vet are we trading for where somebody else can’t offer a better package? As it stands right now this is an awful WR room. Like the Bears from this past season. I don’t think we should be trading away any more picks for WRs and I think the only ones on the free agent market are 2s now. It’s not good.

I like Justin Fields and I’ve paid attention to their moves to see if they were going to finally help him out or move on.

Hard to tell with the poop we’ve been running out there at QB, HC and OC…

I’m pretty tuned into the Bears and have been accurate on what I’ve said about not trading Fields, what their plan was for this off-season, and had the trade down to a T outside of Moore because I thought there’s no way we give him up, but I knew the didn’t want Burns… We have to see how green agency plays out but there’s a good chance they are still taking Carter at 9 if he drops. If they can sign Hargraves and Jones up the middle they can move on from that and focus on offensive line or edge. As of right now I see the Bears trading back from 9.

The Bears were never trading Justin Fields.

I’m ready for the 2.0 draft now @Verge

Chicagos season is going to come down to free agency on defense. They need about four new starters all in the front 7. If they pull that off they aren’t picking in the top 10 with their own pick. But there’s a good chance they are with ours.
