Chicago willingly trade out of 9?

🤦‍♂️

McKinney to the Packers… 😑 Geno Stone to Bengals… 😑

Interesting. Sounds like Rachel isn’t the only potential problem who has his ear. Given that was almost a week ago, I’m guessing there’s no further development in this suggestive response from his brother?

Remember the exact quote was “I’ll always go where the money goes…” Wonder how much they paid him.

What’s this???

A 2 time MVP winning QB has only won one more game in the last 7 seasons…

7 out of his past 9 seasons have been 4000+/25TDs… Think he’s still a viable starter in this league. Especially for a team in an absolutely abysmal division. Win-win for both parties.

Lot of money to sit on the injury report… No different than Tre. Great player when they’re out there but that in turn becomes the issue… Guy has a lot of tread.

I know Mock drafts aren’t everything but in over half of the simulations I ended up running post-combine, they were trading up and selecting Daniels or Maye… Ironically enough the team they traded with more often than not was Atlanta @ 8.

Thought Cook actually started showing some more willingness in his physicality after entering the dog house for the 2nd time in one season… The injury history is what I hinge my reluctance or disliking for that signing more than anything.

No. You got Cook who is pretty much the same just without the injury history. Need a thumper to get the tough yards up the middle. Ty Johnson return would still be my preference.

Oh yeah. They should be a lock for that division then lol Going to put a bet on them now to make the playoffs before odds change… 🏃‍♂️

100% Odunze or Nabers. Cousins, one of those 2, Bijan and London could be exactly like you said… a force.

They would have been special acquisitions but you’d have to believe that they didn’t want to depart with the capital that was given to get those players? Unless they didn’t even know they were on the block lol I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said just feel that without giving up assets in future drafts, they haven’t done that bad with all things considered. To me at least, they have an impact player in Engram. WRs are meh.

He’s getting more than Bourne and Davis. Bank on that… There’s no way they didn’t have some contact to gauge what he wanted…

One of those two immediately helps everyone on offense. The talk will always come back to Davis to an extent but when we had John Brown and Gabe pairing the success on the dee ball we were blowing the brakes off teams and looked borderline unstoppable. Need to get that element back. Your point about reliable players is right on the money. I equate it similar to the NBA, you don’t win games by the superstar or starting 5 come the playoffs, you win by the depth of talent you have on the roster as a whole. At the WR position exclusively, there wasn’t much after Diggs even with Shakir.

You have to do both though given the current roster and future. The top guys next season; Justin Jefferson, Chase, Aiyuk & Higgins are all going to fetch mega deals. That leaves either another trade for WR or the alternative older or lesser options on the market… If he isn’t going to fill that position immediately with draft picks then what do you do? Trade for one obviously.

I know. I agree but the point is they cant/aren’t willing to shell out for Ridley if that’s what they paid Gabe… The next best option isn’t that bad was simply my point.

That’s a good shout. Ridley and Mooney would be perfect, wonder if we can afford even one of those two. Jefferson or DPJ could be interesting.

Well you can always ask if it doesn’t pan out… “What went Wong?”

Who are the elite guys they were adding those years, 2022 & 2024? This year the top guys who could be argued resigned with their respective teams… 2022 they picked up the best option in Kirk and acquired the best TE that FA period unless Uzomah was your preference… Could they do better? Absolutely. But the options the last 3 years aren’t exactly littered with any star receiver… 2023 saw who? Jarvis Landry? Kenny Golladay? Again, I’m looking at the bigger perspective of what they’ve had to work with. They haven’t done that bad seeing as they’ve been in the position to over pay and have acquired the best possible players at the receiving position whether you like them or not over the past 3 year period.

Honestly, I’m with you on that point and not worried at all. With the lack of production rfor periods in the end of the season between all the guys who specifically play WR; Stef, Gabe, Harty, Sherfield… The other guys we have stepped up; Cook, King Cade & Shakir. Diggs is still Diggs. Add a high pick and a guy from FA and how much worse can it actually be? I’d argue it’ll be better considering the guys who stepped up when we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth will only see more playing time and targets. Future isn’t as bleak even without a selection that high for Josh. We still got Big Blue, that’ll always be enough to win.

Listen, if it were us I wouldn’t be a fan of it but Lawrence is still on a rookie deal so there’s that to factor in. With they way that franchise has been for years, they’re in a bind where they have to “over-pay” free agents… No different than us coming out of the drought years. You only take a discount to play for a proven winner. You only take peanuts to play for a team that’s in absolute contention for Championships or a Lombardi. Jacksonville in the past 13 seasons have only finished higher than 3rd three times… two of them are their past 2 seasons. 2022 being the year they paid big money to both Kirk and Jones.

Might work out for them. Engram/Kirk/Jones/Davis isn’t exactly awful.
