Bears looking to trade Alshon???

I know you're one of those fans that can't see the big picture, but that would be a dumb move for the future of the team

Wouldn't be if we signed him in the off season.

Pretty much. No way you'd trade a high pick for less than a full season of games.

The only way that deal makes sense is if you confirm ahead of time that he'll sign an extension (unlikely given the circumstances).

[Mr. Scot]

No way in hell you take that chance.

Only way that trade is viable is if he signs an extension right now, and I wouldn't bet on that.

[Jackofalltrades]

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

It ssays they SHOULD be...

The Oline is our best WR at the moment, By that, I mean that they are giving Cam the time to make Ginn look like a star, Olsen lead all TE's, etc.  Give it time.  Funchess is coming along, Philly is okay and Cotchery will be back.  Our bigger problem at the moment is DE, which we just addressed.  No need to jump every direction.

A better, less expensive idea perhaps...maybe we can fleece Bennett from them and go to a base 2TE set on passing downs

well a good source of mine that i cant let out....called me last night and said that we were talking about Alshon and.............................................CPAT...looks like the CPAT deal might be back in play.....I will keep my ears open and let yall know

We spent a 1st round pick on a WR and then the following year traded up to get another WR in the 2nd round. 

And yet still everyone wants to trade for more WR's? Is this position that glamorous to everybody?

Y'all would have absolutely LOVED Matt Millen as a GM.

i'd say that you seeing the Wide Receiver position as glamorous is part of the underlying fallacy with your understanding of people's hopes. It's the same line of dialogue that the nonsensical "dis aint madden brah hah!" crowd toss out to have to avoid a realistic discussion.

 

people see that the team is now going all out to win this year-as they should-and are discussing what has been a position of weakness on the team. Benjamin isnt playing and Funchess isnt contributing. Why would those players be relevant at all to the discussion at hand?
