Bears have 190M committed to next year already .. thats without Allen Robinson being calculated into anything.

I keep waiting for this tsunami of cut good players due to cap issues ... I hope Im not disappointed.

Even if no more cut, some real bargains for the patient in free agency. Interesting question I don't know the answer to, do you sign a FA WR 75% as good as the elite for 40% of the price?

Yep, it's going to be tough to lure a quality free agent WR here with the QB situation as it is.

And go somewhere where he's the uncontested WR1 (and get paid WR1 $$).

I thought it was an odd FA choice Washington based on all things considered.

Yeah I doubt Kyle Allen and Taylor Heineke are very attractive to pass catchers...

Tomorrow is the tag deadline, unless it gets extended. NFL still hasn't announced the actual salary cap yet.

Still making the same mistakes. More leverage for Scherff and a bloated salary.

Probably. We can but hope it is a tag and trade, but I doubt it. More speculatively, it could mean a trade-up in draft is planned, but that might be reading too much into it. If we could get a 3rd for Scherff, that is probably the best we could hope for.

Or they could trade him if they can'twork out a deal. I'd rather get compensation now instead of waiting for a comp pick next year.

Not sure how many teams want to trade for a guard making 18 million and will be a FA again in 1 year.

What round pick would you accept for him?

If a trade were to happen, I'm pretty sure both Scherff and the team would do a new deal. And I don't know about compensation, but anything better than a comp pick would be a win.

... I don't get it. Are we gonna win the SB next year ? Cuz he ain't signing any deal unless it's significantly higher than what he could get in FA next year...

[NYCskinfan82]

JMO we should of let Scherff test the market.

To me if you do that you may as well keep Sims and Sims, and maybe group Harmon with those 2 (he's still a relative unknown quantity). To my mind if S. Sims wants too much then we let him walk and maybe bring in a 2nd tier FA to replace him like for like (Davis type?), but that could be a zero sum game at best.

More like, we go after and land one of the big targets, or draft a #1a/#2 WR then pick up a 2nd tier guy in the lower rounds. I doubt we get Robinson or Golladay, as mentioned elsewhere they're likely to go where there's a QB. But Fuller or Samuel would be good #2's to Scary.
