Maybe so. Who knows? Maybe Gettleman acquiesced on Kalil knowing he needed a LT anyway but refused to budge on Olsen and TD. Seems plausible.

Voth repeated several times that offseason that Gettleman had been "told to spend money" by Richardson.

When I look at how out of character that offseason was, I always go back to that statement and wonder.

I just wish in hindsight we had thrown that contract at Whitworth. We went with Matt because he was Ryan's brother and much younger but whioe we're now anticipating a post-June 1st cut for Kalil and a ton of dead cap after he suited up for 16 (mediocre at best) games in two season, Whitworth just announced he'll be returning next season after playing playing in all but one game in the past two seasons.

"Voth"......LOL.  Complete and utter shill --- useless.

I hate to say it but I can’t help to say Olsen is done. He has been done. The Panthers never should have extended him and should have found a replacement. Another farewell tour this organization has got to learn from.

The casual fans love the name and certainly will tune in to watch him and it’s not that I’m not cheering for him but the team needs a replacement two years ago.

We shouldn't have extended him, but I do think we found a replacement in Ian Thomas.

He has 18.6 million reasons to continue playing this year and next. Unless fox or others guarantee him that much he will stay and play

Of course at this point in his career, money wouldn't necessarily be a problem for him.  If he keeps playing, it will be because he wants to play.

i haven't thought he's been very good in the booth.  i find him annoying in that role, forced.  something about his tone just doesn't sound relaxed or like something i want to listen to.   he's ronde level bad to me.  i can't see him moving up very far in that role.

Honestly, I hope he can play again. While I think the team definitely needs to get younger, fast, I think he showed last season that he still has it. On the plays before re-breaking his foot, he was always in position, moving well and showing how important experience was.

And that surprise catch on the faked 4th down Hail Mary was one of the highlights of the year.

The big "if" is that foot healing properly. I'd hate to see him go limping off to the sideline knowing that a third break had just happened.

I can’t believe so many want him to retire. Greg has been an amazing player for us and was an iron man before his foot gave out the last two years. If it is fully healed I would absolutely want him back, not only because it would be fugging amazing to have DJ Moore, Samuel, Wright, Olsen, and Thomas on a 5 wide play (how could anyone defend that???) but I believe he is absolutely needed as a leader on offense. Greg and Ryan Kalil were the leaders of the group other than Cam and with both gone, it may not work out so well with so many lead by example guys. No matter what anyone says, you need guys like Greg to get everyone’s sh*t together in rough times.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
