Maybe they can redo Fuller and Hicks contracts.  May have to tag A-Rob.

I'd like to keep Graham but most have him being let go.  Nothing against Kmet but Graham was a monster in the red zone - and underutilized.

I suspect Graham, Miller, Massie, and Skrine will all be gone. Trevathan and Leno are potentials.
Robertson-Harris will be leaving via FA.

We may have to restructure a contract or two, but I think salary cap concerns are overblown a bit.

Agreed but I wouldn't release Miller.

Releasing Miller would be foolish...

It wouldnt make sense. It would put your WR room one short.

I think Miller is still under rookie contract.

If nothing else trade Miller and get something for him.

Ugh:

McShay has the Bears trading up to No. 12 overall for Alabama’s Mac Jones.

Four quarterbacks went in the first four picks, and in this scenario, the Bears didn’t fully address quarterback via free agency or trade. That means it’s now or never for Chicago and it pulls the trigger on a move up the board in the middle of the first round. So what gets it done? To land the No. 12 pick from San Francisco, the Bears would have to send their own first-rounder (No. 20) and a second-rounder (No. 52), probably along with a 2022 first- or second-rounder.

This is more than the traditional trade-value chart expects, and whether that ’22 pick is of the Day 1 or Day 2 variety would depend on how desperate Chicago is for the last true Round 1 QB still out there. Niners GM John Lynch could maybe throw a midrounder back to the Bears to sweeten the deal and get it done.

Mac Jones.  Very accurate.  Good size.  Average arm and barely average speed.  And he won't have the offensive weapons or line that he had at 'bama.

Folks criticized the Bears for taking Trubisky because he also started only one year in college. 

Aren't niners looking to replace Grappolo too?

Sure are looking to replace Garappolo. And Pace wanted him when he was a Pat. Maybe you strike gold cheaper.

Everybody has their own opinion on what the Bears need to do at QB.   Trade Foles, trade up and draft a rookie, trade for a veteran, sign a FA, etc 

I would not want to be in Pace's shoes right now. 

Bears nation turns its lonely eyes to you...woo, woo, woo

Pace got himself in this mess.  Paying the Giraffe tons of money was the tipoff for me.  I had hoped Mitch was  the guy.  He wasn't, and Foles simply compounded the whole mess. And now they're talking about Wentz ? Looks to me the Bears are only listening to the qb coach. He can get himself out of this mess, or go carry Payton's  towels again. Take the beancounter with you, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Yeah, he messed up. He'll probably get canned with Nagy at end of next season.

Still, it's a tough job that I don't envy having.

Not sure what I would do.  What would any of you do at QB?

I think we all hoped. I certainly had my doubts on draft night that year. A 1 year starter at a non football school gave me many doubts. Could he have developed? Possibly in the right system, and with the right personnel around him. But with the Bears history of bad QBs it was doomed from the start. Mitch just wasnt the right guy.

I don’t want them to mortgage the future to overpay for a broken QB.

I would rather they use their resources on the OL, resign Robinson and hopefully another veteran WR.

Pick up another RB and use all 3.

With Desai going back to Fangio’s philosophy, a running game and better pass protection they can be contenders with Tru and Foles.

I just see it as a bad year to solve the QB dilemma.
