They need OL on offense above all else.

I didn't think comp picks could be traded?

For sure. They need to just hand the reins over to Bieniemy and give him a test drive.

If he does he should be trading Howell.

If they weren't THE best they were among the best. 11.5 sacks between them.

Yep. Don't need another.

Yeah, there's no way Ron signed off on this. Having the best pair of edge rushers in the NFL was the only thing keeping a bad defense from being atrocious. Their secondary was already struggling mightily. They're gonna get absolutely LIT UP now.

He is when he's healthy. He just isn't healthy often

Holy poo.

Define "improvement". I mean, ending up with 5 wins would still mean a significant improvement down the stretch but yeah, I'd probably still say that this front office needs to go. They made moves thinking they had positioned this roster much better off than reality has proven. We're pretty strapped on draft capital in the short term and are going to have to lean heavily on FA to compensate. These guys' two biggest FA signings this off-season were massive busts and have already lost their starting roles not even halfway through the season.

The Bears trading a 2nd for Sweat definitely isn't overpaying. I honestly thought the Commanders probably should've traded Young instead. He's been their version of Jaycee Horn. Good when available but rarely available. Young could've probably fetched them more on the trade market and he'll be more costly to re-sign to boot. What surprises me is that the Bears were buyers on the market but I guess they are sitting pretty with draft capital right now.

No one is bailing us out on those Sanders and Hurst gaffs. Why would anyone want guys who have lost their starting jobs to afterthoughts after they were brought in and paid to be dudes?

If we think he's the right guy then give him the job. But I'm not gonna hang onto the wrong guys for fear of losing an underling in the process.

Can he still play safety? If not why do I care?

I think everyone should be judged on their own merits. I mean, if you have a scout that was pounding the table for a bunch of guys that turned out to be good players, don't throw him out with the rest of the trash.

From what I can tell it looks like it needs a total overhaul anyway so might as well get started. It won't be any quicker and easier after another year of bad moves and a deeper hole dug.

I'm fine with firing them both. Our personnel moves both in FA and the draft have been net negatives.

And making calls to trade up to draft a 25 year old rookie pass rusher in the 3rd who has bounced all over roster in college with his coaches desperately trying to find somewhere to utilize his physical talent because they haven't found anything that he's actually good at yet.

Burrow is a fuging baller. I kinda thought maybe he might be just a product of a system and surrounding talent but then I tuned into watch him play against the best D this side of the NFL in the college national championship game and on his very first snap he did this https://x.com/espn/status/1216895499158138880?s=20 I was like, yeah... gimme that guy.

I've been saying for weeks now they need to just cancel Rivera and give Bieniemy a test drive. He has to quit his bad habit of completely abandoning the run. His OL sucks at pass protection and Howell is getting beat to poo. The kid is tougher than a $2 steak but damn... at some point the body will break. OL play across the league pretty much sucks so I don't see anyone trading viable offensive linemen. You have a handful of good offensive lines and the rest of the league is varying levels of suck.

If they trade them both that D is going to get straight LIT UP. They're already bad and the only thing keeping them from being utterly atrocious is that pair of edge rushers.

Really surprised. I mean, Washington was gonna have to choose between him and Young in terms of who to pay but surprised Ron would be willing to trade him when he seems on the hot seat big time and his D is playing like straight trash. That secondary is getting shredded already and their pass rush is the only thing giving them a fighting chance.

He has more talent for sure but he'd do what he does. Look good for a couple of three games then turn into a turnover machine once the league gets film of him operating in that system. It's been the story of his career.

Purdy is maxed out. They had a window and they still have a window but Purdy ain't it.

If he keeps getting injured we have to move on. It sucks but he has to prove he can be available.
