OT: Bears & NFL Talk 83

[Kaners Bald Spot]

They would be if Brees is actually going to retire. I think he will but until he makes that decision, Saints are stuck in a hold pattern at the QB position.

-------

Don't want Carr unless Wilson is not being traded. If Wilson is available, you make it happen, period. His my favorite QB option this off-season by far, even more so than Watson. I know there are reports out there that says the Bears are being "persistent" in pursuit of Wilson. So if Wilson is traded and not a Bear, I will be disappointed. Derek Carr needs to be plan D-Z after Wilson and Watson.

I don't think either Wilson or Watson get traded. Franchise QBs are too important to NFL teams, and they'd rather nobody have those guys than give them up. Franchise QBs don't change teams until they're old, finished, or both.

Bears re sign Ryan Nall one year deal

I wouldn't give up a 1st for Carr. Hard pass. And if the Bears are taking him to facilitate LV getting Russ I'd want something for our troubles (or basically take him for free).

Stafford was moved. He's only 1 year older than Wilson.

But he's kind of shitty. Watson and Wilson are top 5 QB's.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Wilson has like 32 million in dead cap if he's traded prior to Jun 1st, no way it's happening with the Bears that have zero to give back. After June it's like 6 but I don't see Seattle moving him. Pace screwed the Bears for any opportunities at all these QB's by trading away assets all these years.

Carr has two years left on his deal

I wouldn't give up a 1st but if Raiders would take say 2nd + 4th would be thrilled to take on Carr

If Raiders moved Carr it would be to make room for Watson or Wilson ,, Maybe get a three way deal

Watson or Wilson to Oak
Carr to Chi
Bears picks + Raiders assets to Houston or Seattle

 

[RayP]

Not interest whatsoever in Carr. How much of an upgrade is he really? We still have no chance at a SB with him so I’d rather use that pick towards rebuilding the offensive line or on defense even

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Wow for some reason I find that to be unbelievable.

 

[RayP]

Enough of the shenanigans. We have our QB of the future.

NFLPA asking player agents to collude in contract negotiations.
It seems it is ilegal at the NFL corporate/team level but not among the players or agents? ‍‍‍

Thoughts?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Washington releases Alex Smith

Doesn’t bother me but I can’t see the agents getting together and sharing info.

Washington releases Alex Smith

Not even big on smith but this seems like it has to be the type of move to make right? Sign Smith and draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd. I saw some mocks hopeful that Mac Jones could be had in the 2nd, idk about him at all but a potential is there.

Makes sense as a placeholder only

I don’t really have a whole lot of interest in Alex Smith. He’ll be 37 next season and isn’t exactly reliable. No chance Mac Jones lasts until the second round and especially no chance he lasts until our second round pick.

Recipe for disaster to sign Smith, he eventually gets injured, and then you potentially start a rookie who isn’t ready.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

You know Nagy will be all over Alex Smith.

 

[Mrfenn92]

JJ watt signs with the cardinals

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears hire tom herman as offensive analyst

If you were taking about a QB like Newman or Lance, I'd agree with you but I think Mac is a different story. I'm not saying Mac would hit the ground running as a starter but I don't think he would wet the bed either. I would be ok with Smith/Jones as the QB next year.

Skrine was awful all year

Would have rather had a practice squad CB playing in that slot this past year over Skrine

This is an odd statement when he was replaced by CBs who were definitely worse.

When Shelley and Such played nickel they were even worse. They definitely needed to move on but need to find a legit option for nickel.
