He IS too good.  I would hate giving up high draft choices but this guy might be worth that late 2nd.

Now if the Bears can do a couple trade downs from #1 then they might generate a pick to send for Payne.

Brad Spielberger, Esq.
@PFF_Brad
Jaguars spent $121M in first year cash on free agents this past offseason, I believe an NFL record (Patriots the year prior were in the same ballpark)

The Bears currently have $75M on the books for 2023, and need to get to around $240M

Can also extend players of course...

I'm bewildered by the thought the Bears have the QB they are looking for....unless they wanted a pure running QB with few passing yards. Perhaps Chicago hasn't seen a true QB in so long they're confused as to what one does- throw the ball.....

I'll admit, I'm intrigued by Fields. But, I've always said that you need to have a guy that can work the pocket and throw the ball. I've never really thought much of the running QB's.  If Fields can get the passing game down, he'll be lethal. Otherwise, in a year we'll all be talking about the good QB that we could've had in the draft..

I never saw Fields as a running QB coming out of OSU.  With the Bears he ran basically to survive.  Just like any QB give him a clean pocket once in a while and some weapons and the passing stats will improve which is what he and the Bears would prefer.

Fields has lost confidence in the passing game.  He doesn't trust his receiver or himself.

I would fire the QB coach....Getsy is next on my list along with the DC.

During the stretch where the protection improved a little, Mooney was in the lineup and the running game was clicking Fields had a 95 passer rating.  He was going through his professions and looked much improved even though they were only throwing 20 times a game.

Fields was up and down all season.  Peterman had a 93 rating against the Vikings - sacked once.

You'd like for Fields to check it down more.  But those check down guys are usually helping out with pass protection which means the defense can focus on 3 receivers.

So Fields stares down the receivers waiting for them to get open which they rarely do and ends up taking off or getting sacked. 

Solution:  Upgrade O-line replace center and RT - keep Whitehair unless there's a cheaper, better younger FA option - look at WRs in free agency and in middle of the draft

I see the Bears hired Kevin Warren to take Phillips place. I see this as a business before product move. I think it's all about getting a new stadium built.

What exactly is the role of the president in handling the draft or free agency?

He’ll give final approval on contracts.

More importantly, he hires the GM a McCaskey.

Poles was trying to make the team at training camp with the Bears years ago.  Now he's the GM.

Warren was Zorich's agent staring down Ted during contract negotiations.  He is about to replace him as CEO and President of the Bears.
