Again it was a CHOICE So the point being what did we add to last year’s contending squad to improve them? What I witnessed was us loosing talented experienced players instead.

I'm not real sure with the bad coaches we had that is was all his fault.perhaps he was misused like most players we had down the stretch In either case his play was such that I would move on from him. Don't need him we can do better
February 5, 20241 yr Author Joe said Byard would be the first guy he would lose and I can't argue with that

February 5, 20241 yr We don’t resigned bradberry we don’t bring back slay and we get cheaper options we ge the trade for the bears CB we don’t get the titans S we signed a better FA LB option does the season look different???? point being we had the ability to do different things we CHOSE not to do them though this whole argument is about the contracts that’s it we did bad contracts I agree but it was because we evaluated players wrong not because we couldn’t do the deals

I think that’s more my point.
February 5, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Bleedinggreen93 said: Sooo for all this bitiching on our contracts we have more SB appearances and wins since 2017 then your believed SF 49ers 1. SF cleared cap....in 2017. Tell me any Hurts lover would want the Eagles to clear cap so we could win in 2030? 2. The absolute best " clear the cap" strategy was the Eagles in 2010's " uncapped season" They unloaded everybody and cleared all the cap, was brilliant. Andy Reid and Joe Banner spent all kinds of money in 2011 because of that strategy. Two rookie safeties, a rookie late round LB ( Casey Matthews) and 2 other below average LBs. Don't ever say " if we managed the cap better,then we could have spent on LB or S." If it could have been done in any year...2011 was it. 3. All 32 NFL teams use a signing bonus and have cap hits increase as they go. It absolutely makes sense because very few contracts actually run their course. Some do... but usually you extend the player who is performing, (which absorbs the higher salary) or you release the underperforming player and save the cap space designated for the higher salary. Any contract that runs it's full course.... then the cap hits even out at the end regardless. 4. The Salary cap goes up each year. Cap space in 2024 is more valuable than the same amount of cap space in 2029. The difference between teams who manage the cap well ... is usually the timing of the contracts. You will see it coming up with the difference in cap hits for Devonte Smith vs CeeDee Lamb... in proportion to the cash they receive.

And we could have signed Edward’s we CHOSE TO LET HIM WALK…. Edward’s cap hit was 5m we spent what 3-4m on Morrow and Cunningham you really think we couldn’t pay the other 2m if we wanted Edward???? White cap hit was 3.2m again we could have paid that we CHOSE NOT TO…. The only point your making is we undervalue the LB spot nothing you had said means we couldn’t have paid these guys

GMs that took on the job that wasn’t a complete disaster to begin with? How many GMs have won a SB since 2016.. how many have taken their teams to the SB twice? How many have had their teams make the playoffs 6 of the 7 years? How many have done it with 2 coaches and 2 different QBs who weren't 1st round picks? The guy in SF has the opportunity to match our guy in all those things...except playoff appearances. The other 30 GMs haven't had that.

February 5, 20241 yr Author https://www.profootballnetwork.com/cooper-dejean-draft-scouting-2024/ DeJean update. This is the best summary I found. Sounds to me like he will be a round 1 if not the top DB. Teams will love the versatility. In a pinch scenario, he can play any DB position and play them at a high level. He is an interesting dude with remarkable ability to play any DB position. His size and weight are perfect for that also. He will go in the top 20 I believe. Howie would have to trade up a little to get him. But we know Howie won't give up that kind of draft capital to get him. He would be great in our system since he could fill in anywhere we needed him to at any given time. But I can't see Howie giving up draft capital,nor taking a DB first. He just refuses to do it. With DB's needed by all teams,someone could make a reach earlier than 20. it could be a reach that pays big dividends later. So my initial opinion was wrong. They should remove that "highlight" vid as it doesn't project nearly what he can do. As 93 stated he is a freak athlete with major skills,but he won't be an Eagle I'm afraid(love to have him however). Nice find by 123
February 5, 20241 yr Washington hired Kilff kingbury as OC seems all but a lock now they try and trade to get Caleb Williams #1
February 5, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, Bleedinggreen93 said: Washington hired Kilff kingbury as OC seems all but a lock now they try and trade to get Caleb Williams #1 Such a strong QB class. Could be very interesting. How do the Bears have the QBs ranked and graded? That will be key. Is it possible they actually prefer Drake Maye? Can Chicago take Jayden Daniels at their own earned rightful pick at 9? I see it as you have Washington at 2 and New England at 3. How can there not be a bidding war? I like Jayden Daniels. Heck I like the lefty Penix Jr that’s being ranked around our pick. Seems like I’ve been in the minority opinion with my thinking about Fields amongst this board. You guys seem to have seen things to make you think he can be a franchise guy that can take a team there(win big games). Bears should have been grooming Stroud. Just no way you can have witnessed his rookie season and think really otherwise. Too much belief in sticking with Fields too long. Wasn’t the right pick. They trade away the pick they owned to take Stroud. That kind of bad judgement can haunt franchises big time. Think you can reason the whiff on the first pick last year by Chicago by taking the unanimous sure thing first pick in Caleb considered that for two seasons now. If he turns out a bust? Then everybody was wrong. Or you ruined him. GM not losing his job over his drafting blunders move. Pick up a windfall from the Pats moving back to third pick overall. Take Marvin Harrison. Or maybe the stud T. Then get Jayden Daniels at 9…maybe trade up a little to 6 even, having a bunch of extra ammo of picks newly gifted. If Daniels pays off….then the Bears could hit everything out of the park by adding a bunch more talent while still nailing their QB. Think I’d even consider Daniels with the Pats pick at 3. But don’t like moving back from 1 to 3 moving from Caleb to Daniels. Only like the thought if the Bears could strike gold at 3 with a super stud at whatever position. Right now think it’s believed Alt the T or Harrison the WR.while coming back a bit later for the third best QB.

So think we just went ahead and bailed on getting into any bidding war with them and set sights on other targets. Beginning of FA you gotta move quick. The thinking being Chicago would have just one upped us on paying even more than they even did…if needed.
