Bears are signing a bunch of skill guys after the Monday deadline.    If you sign a guy after Monday he doesn't count against the formula for calculating comp picks in 2021.  Right now Bears lost Ha Ha, Kwiatowski, Pierre-Louis but added Quinn.   That formula ends up giving the Bears 2 comp 6th rounders in 2021.

Since that date has passed Bears signed WRs Trevor Davis and Ginn and now Houston safety Tashaun Gipson.  I think he's the favorite to start next to Jackson.

I thought  that the Bears would go corner in the draft early and draft a safety later on, but this works for me.   With the draft and this signing defense looks pretty good with much more depth.  Only questionable depth is at ILB with the unproven Joel Iyiegbuniwe.

The only thing he's proven is he can't ply ILB.  Should be easy to plug in a FA vet (Denzel Perryman?) and maybe a rookie to finish the roster.

I liked the Iggy pick but he may be more suited for a 4-3 as a WLB.  Not all these guys are immediate successes their rookie season.  He came out a year early out of Western Kentucky.

Is the loss of Lucas also a comp pick?

I got the safety need when they signed Gipson. What I didnt get is why he has done so much moving around. I have it figured it out is that he wasnt worth the money he was being paid. I am glad to see we didnt overpay him. Can he stick? If he plays like Jane (which I suspect) I kind of doubt it.

Gipson has had two good stints.  Drafted by Cleveland then signed a second contract with Jacksonville and played for 3 years.  Probably overpriced himself and went to the Texans... that and Jacksonville has been slashing payroll.  I think it was a good signing.

Well on the bright side (maybe) of the draft and all those TEs we won't have to be subjected to Shaheen blocking and running around like his pants are around his ankles....

I'd still fire anyone having anything to do with TEs in Halas Hall. You can't be that bad at a position (unless at QB but that's another discussion) for so long without intentionally trying to screw it up. And when they had one they traded him away (Olsen). Its Ditka curse I guess..... :D

I may be the only one on this board but I think the Bears should keep Shaheen...at least through training camp/preseason. 

His problem has always been health.  And we got him for another season under contract let's give him a shot to see what he can do.

I was not in favor of him being drafted in the 2nd round - too slow and the small school level of competition.  Just not ready to give up on him just yet.

I would have to see him in training camp to want to keep him.

He's had so few game opportunities.

I would like for the Bears to keep Shaheen, at least until someone beats him out in a fair competition when he is healthy.  But I am more optimistic about the kid from the Ivy League.  I think he could be as good a pass catching tight end as the one they gave away for nothing.

I didn't see his name mentioned in the article.  There's some formula someone in the NFL uses based on the contract that the FA signs.

Adds:  Quinn and  Ifedi
Losses:  Clinton-Dix, Kwiatkowski, Pierre-Louis (and Lucas)

Bears get 2 2021 sixth-rounders

I've heard it reported, I believe on Mully and Haugh, that the Bears are in line to get 3 @ 6th rounders and a 7.  The 7 will go to the Raiders for Pinero... easy come, easy go

Over the cap agrees with that but Si.com is saying 3 6th rounders - I don't think anyone knows for sure because of the secret NFL formula but yeah, 4 total picks in round 6 is good ammo to move up.

I forgot about these 2 FAs that we lost before the deadline:

Adds:  Quinn and  Ifedi
Losses:  Clinton-Dix, Kwiatkowski, Pierre-Louis, Lucas, Chase Daniels and Nick Williams 

Is it too early to look at the 2021 mock draft?

Everywhere I read articles talking about Trubisky and his lack of production in his 3rd season. Back in the day, if Joe Montana had this sh!tty O line, no consistent run game, I would be willing to bet he wouldn't have looked like the QB he was. With that said, look at Nagy, he sure as heck isn't the next coming...

Trubisky is taking the fall for a crappy O line, a crappy head coach and a crappy GM..
