with the GM's job and reputation on the line, The Bears gave up four draft picks in trade with San Francisco in order to trade up to select Trubisky out of North Carolina. betcha the Bills GM didn't even offer a pack of trojanz.
In fact I read where the GM said it was only a 1 year deal because it is a reset for T Buscuit. They don't intend to keep him long term.
@packerboi posted:Gil Brandt@Gil_BrandtThink your team "won" free agency? Congrats. Only one SB winner in the last 10 years has exceeded $100M in FA spending, and only four have been in the top half of the league in FA spending the year they won it, none inside the top 10. So, again, congrats for nothing.P
Maybe because it's mostly bad/rebuilding teams spending that kind of cash.
Look like Denver is ready to Crash the Party on the Kyle Fuller Fun!
Packers canât get nothing done.
No Rodgers DEAL No $!
No Tickey No Watchy!

The Bears tried to keep Kyle Fuller by asking him to take a VERY significant paycut, but he would rather test the market, per source.

Boris - there's one more slice of delicious humble pie for bearfanz:
The $ 10 million they spent on Jimmy Graham this year, would have been enough to keep their 29 year old All Pro CB

Like an inverted Matt Flynn,
I know the Bears are and have always been a D first team in the Biscuit era but he may be redeemable....I believe he was 29-21 as a starter and although stats are stats his indicate that maybe someone can work with him.
In 51 regular-season games (50 starts), Trubisky completed 64% of his throws for 10,609 yards with 64 touchdowns and 37 interceptions. He had a winning record in three of his four seasons in Chicago, including an 11-3 regular-season record in
No matter what they do to try to be an offense team, they're really only ever good on D. The bears are kind of the packers' opposite George. Everything is opposite between the two teams.

Opposite George did eventually score with the hot lady at the lunch counter, even though he told her he was short, balding, unemployed and lived with his parents.
Well, here we are at THE FINAL COUNTDOWN to 3pm to converting or extending any $ on Rodgers contract & his long term future in GB!!!!!!!! With some of his bonuses kicking in after the 3pm deadline making converting pretty much a non-factor.

Better countdown:
And somehow I don't think Brandon could beat 11-year-old Bradley.
Bears fans were practically in tears this morning on the radio. One guy even called in wondering if there is a good chance the commissioner would step in to clean up the mess that is Ryan Pace in Chicago. That was a good laugh.

It's hard to understand why they preferred Dalton over Trubisky. At least you knew Trubisky was still possibly an ascending player who knew their system, as opposed to Dalton, who is a nice guy who has never gotten his team over the hump. Buffalo just spent $2.5M to sign Trubisky, while the Bears chose to spend four times as much for a retread. The Bills media is really trumpeting the signing as a great move by Buffalo. Steve Tasker was on air this morning saying Trubisky went 29-21 as a starter for "the Bears....the Bears", he emphasized, implying (correctly so) that they sucked.
Kevin King has yet to get a bite in FA. Maybe the Packers sign him on a short prove it deal?
I don't think that poorly about Dalton. I think he can be successful. Vontaze took a huge win from him a few years ago. No worse than Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer. Both ring bearers.

Correction. $6.8mm roster bonus due at 3p today - beginning of the 3rd day of league year. Yet, GBP has options. Pay the $6.8mm, but they could still convert the remaining 2021 salary to bonus at a later date if needed. They could also ask AR to shift the roster bonus payout date to give them more time if needed.
Or, they could stand pat and we get to watch various Packers fan lose their mind.

If you were a team that didn't have a history with either guy, I'd agree with you about Trubisky. But Trubisky at QB in Chicago is like Kevin King at CB for the Packers. Too much has happened on the field to make either situation likely to work. The first interception Trubisky would throw as a Bear and he'd be booed off the field.
Trubisky at 2.5 million to be a backup is a really good signing. He badly needs a change of scenery.

He's proven enough to me.
@Tschmack posted:Damn - Monty Adams gets 2.5MM from the Hoodie. Amazing.
Man that's easily 2x his value. Maybe Hoodie knows something we don't. Or he's playing Brewster's Millions or something?
Hoodie will dump Adams before the season starts. He's going to have 200 guys in camp to increase his odds of finding somebody that can play
Maybe he thinks Adams is just another L Guy.
Itâs not Daltonâs fault the Bears are idiots.
I mean, I get it they had to turn the page with Trubisky to save face but that franchise is going nowhere. Pace is a horrible GM.

Yes. But he's too stupid to keep it up his long!
Interesting (to me) that Adams is also represented by Rosenhaus.
To get that much for him was a work of art.
As PackerHawk posted, that's roughly 2.5 times vet minimum.
However, I had forgotten some of the salary cap changes made in the new CBA.
One of those is the "Veteran Salary Benefit" (teams can exclude an additional $1.25M for two vets who meet qualifiers), assuming I'm reading it correctly.
The big deal, IMHO, is how much is guarantee or signing bonus, and how much is incentive-driven.

Could this be a purple meeting of the minds to pool their diminishing brain cells to create a group effort?
