Bears looking to trade Alshon???

Interestingly enough, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN writes that Chicago should being to listen to trade offers for other notable players like RB Matt Forte and WR Alshon Jeffery, now that the Bears traded away DE Jared Allen, LB Jon Bostic.

Both players are scheduled to be free agents after the season, and it’s clear that the Bears won’t be playing for a Super Bowl in 2015.

It might sound somewhat surprising to see someone suggest moving on from a 25-year-old receiver entering his prime. However, Dickerson mentions that there’s no guarantee that Jeffery wants to re-sign with them next year, and overpaying him could actually impact their rebuilding plan in some ways.

Maybe @R0CKnR0LLA was right, 2nd round pick for Alshon??? Thoughts??? Or he choose not to sign and become a free agent, but then they might franchise him

If we could get him for a 4th I would be totally for it.  The only glaring weakness on this team (assuming CJ can come back healthy) is WR.

Alshon is big, has good hands, is from the Carolinas, and wouldn't break the bank to resign.

I know Gettleman has been against trading picks for the most part, and I get it.  But as it pertains to this year... No Balls, No Baby

Before this gets any traction: Alshon is in a contract year. Therefore it's a terrible idea to give up a good pick for him for less than a full season and probably wouldn't even be able to afford him.

The Panthers can afford Alshon.  We are going to have at least $20M to spend this offseason.  Norman is going to get his, but Alshon is probably looking at a $7Mish per year payday.  Still have KB for 2 more years at a reasonable rate.

IMHO, WR is still the one area that could prevent us from being a true contender.  I don't see why Gettleman wouldn't consider

The thread title says Bears looking to trade Alshon??, but the quote looks like the ESPN writer is suggesting that the Bears should listen to trade offers for other notable players like Alshon.

I don't gather they have intent to trade him whatsoever.

True, but they have huge holes to fill and I think they realize it's time for a full-on rebuild.  It wouldn't surprise me if they intend on not re-signing Alshon or Forte (definitely not Forte).    If they couldn't get it done with Cutler + Alshon/Marshall/Forte then something isn't right.   Their defense is terrible but they traded one of the best parts of it in Allen (no way a world-beater up there either).   If I was a betting man, they'll try to trade Cutler to anyone that wants him (and someone will for a starting QB) and maybe even eat some of the salary.

    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.  
    • Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
