Fuller re-worked his contract to free up some cap space in 2020.

Bears have two second round picks 43 and 50.  Then three picks in the 5th 142, 146 and 149. A 6th at 177 and a 7th at 211.

No 1st, 3rd or 4th round picks.

Not much cap space.  It is going to be very difficult to fix what ails this team.

Truth is the difference between winning and losing is fractions.  We can turn it around.  If Hicks had not gotten hurt, we might have been a wild card team.  We need to upgrade the Oline which new coach might do wonders, another pass rusher, a TE, another CB.  All this can be accomplished this offseason.

After last season we were needing a K, a pass rusher and TE, so we had needs then as well. That was after a playoff appearance.  We could easily go back to playoffs next year.

I am starting to lose a little faith in Pace.  He needs a strong off season IMO to establish himself long term.

After cuts and restructuring, bears will have between 25-40 million cap space.
Pace will have enough to do what ever he wants.

Does that include Chase Daniel?

He's of no value and I think was given a high contract.

Also the cap goes up about $23m a year.

Daniel is built into the ~15 million they have without cuts.  I'm assuming long, Gabriel, Shaheen and amukamura are all cut. That will put them around low 30 million.
 Floyd is on the books for around 12, I think he gets extended for less or cut outright.  That could add another 4-5 or 12 million.

Floyd has been a bum and should be on the way out. They can find someone to play better there.

Will be re-arranging deck chairs offensively on the Titanic without ****-canning  Dave Ragone too. Man hasn't done anything to correct Trubisky and was kept for "continuity" purposes from the Fox regime....

It seems you are overestimating the cap space. I am believing its much tighter than your figures.

Listening to the Score yesterday, it s said that Ragone is highly regarded and could be in line for a promotion.  I'd like to see us resign Kwit.  I love Trev and all he has done, but he get's injured every year.  Kwit is more solidly built and I think if the price is the same you go with Kwit.  I'd hate to see him leave and go to Green Bay.  Too much to stomach.

I think Floyd will be here, whether it is the last year on his contract or a new deal.  Long and Daniel are gone.  Gabriel and Amakamura are iffy.  I say iffy, because who is our speed guy at WR?  And number 2 corners are a nice commodity.  Tolliver was good in relief, but I want to see more before I toss Prince aside.

I'd like to see how we can bring in another tackle.  If these was any way to get Williams from Washington and let Leno and Massie compete at right, that would be a dream.  Draft a guard, acquire draft a tight end.

Pace needs Trubisky to succeed. That’s why he ruled out bringing in a starting-caliber quarterback and holding an open competition. He’ll peruse second- and third-stringers, but, “Mitch is our starter.”

https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2019/12/31/21044367/chicago-bears-ryan-pace-gm-general-manager-matt-nagy-mitch-trubisky-stats-2020-season-2017-draft

NO competition? Just a continuation of bad. Ugh!

The one instance in which Pace indicated a grasp of reality came when he was pressed about activating Trubisky’s 2021 option, a $20-plus million decision he must make by March. He said he hasn’t gotten to that yet.

UGH! That should get him fired.

I think Pace was giving standard answers.  They cannot telegraph to league what their true plans are.  They did talk about drafting QB as something they want to do to build depth.  I would not be surprised if we drafted a QB this year to groom.
