This oddly highlights the bears misdirection more than anything. Traded for Foles merely because he's familiar with the Doug Peterson/Matt Nagy offense. 

It's the last thing that can probably save that regimes time in Chicago, even though its on Pace for picking Mitch. Bring in Foles, a guy familiar with the system.

It’s actually only $16 or 17M guaranteed. The last $4-5M is a roster bonus and $1M salary in 2022. I don’t think the salary in 2022 is guaranteed without being on the roster, i.e. it’s a 2 year $16M deal. That’s the big difference, per year Foles is getting $8M, basically top backup money. The Cam and Dalton numbers were for 2020 only. Foles was willing to restructure his crazy Jags deal. Maybe Cam and Andy were not. Foles was also willing to be a backup/compete. Again, not sure about the other two.

The Bears really really really made the wrong choice.

I like Foles better than most and would have loved to have him if we got rid of Cam... I think he’s lightyears better than Teddy.

still,.. the Bears could and should have Cam Newton right now. So should a lot of teams.

all they had to do is sign him pending a physical.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
