got a 2nd, love it

atl was offering a 3rd and 2nd if he was extended there.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Bears adding pieces for a playoff run? Do they think he will re-sign there?

 

[GKJ]

The Bears?

 

[Tuggy]

Bears must be extending him right?

Otherwise, I don't understand.

Chicago just traded Troy Franklin for 6 games of Montez Sweat.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The Bears traded a guaranteed top 40 pick for a pending FA defender who wants big $ deal and has never shown to be worth $ he wants.

LOL at this joke of a franchise.

Poles/Eberflus is as bad as Emery/Trestman and Pace/Nagy

They can tag him, but he'd be an unhappy camper. This is what like pick 35 or something? Figured they move out one of Sweat or Young.
Sweat just finished his 5th year option. So, he'd definitely want to get some long term security. $23 mill so far in his career.

After the Bears front office is sacked within a few years, I'm going to apply with screenshots of me building a franchise in Madden as my resume. They might actually go for it.

Then Young goes for a late 3rd.

Makes no sense.

You’d be over qualified.

I think it's just tire kicking for the future.

Sweat has elite measureables but only "solid" results at best.

Then Young goes for a late 3rd.

Makes no sense.

I believe tape study might be a factor.

Or injuries.

But...why?

 

[EpochLink]

New Washington regime thought he wasn't worth the new contact extension.
Don't blame them though, gotta get new pieces in there.

Poles got bent over

Brutal overpayment by Bears giving him elite $ for non-elite production

He wouldn’t have signed with the Bears unless it was for big money. They could tag him but he’d likely pull a Jacobs and not sign it til just before the season then you have a guy who is behind.

Alternatively they could have just not traded away significant draft capital for him. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about paying him elite money.

Got seduced by the 40 time.

So many horrible takes here.

Sweats elite. Completely changed the Bears defense.
