Bears spoke to 3 teams at the combine about the first overall pick: know they can get 1sts in 2024 and 2025

DJ of Burns

DJ hasn’t been restructured yet and maybe that’s why. Chicago seems to struggle at finding WR’s. Although trading away your only WR before drafting a rookie QB isn’t ideal either

Although finding WR’s these days shouldn’t be as hard as some of these teams make it out to be

We aren't trading Burns or DJ

If it would get us 1 we would be fools not to. 

[Jackie Lee]

Well this could change the Edge market. Bears have plenty of cap space

Trade Burns and save us our future 1st rounders. Fitterer gets a mulligan on the deal he should’ve made at the deadline 

We save 16 mill against the cap this year for Burns. Save another 13 cutting Shaq. All of a sudden we have some room. 

There’s a potential Burns replacement. Will be a lot cheaper. Obviously you’re sacrificing a bit but if this gets you the QB you want then it’s worth it

Bears could sign him for $10M and get Burns and draft picks, they have like $90M in cap space. They need a whole new D-line

I don't want to lose Burns, but if it means we get our future stud QB, let's do it.

Trading Burns sounds like an okay idea to fans on the internet but to the new DC we just lured here that would be a slap in the face and might cause issues amongst the staff/locker room. We can get one of the top QB's without that.

Couple of others have pointed out that we probably have a trade already worked out. Will be interesting next week at least.

Id like to ask those who are dead set on trading three 1st plus othersfor a rookie QB; how many wins do you expect for the 2023 season?

Honestly.

before you answer, I will give my guess- 7 wins.

That means da bears will be drafting 7th with the panthers pick. 

*I get the angry anger over the last 5-ish years, but Im here to tell you, one rookie QB will not solve most of the panther's problems. *could make it much worse given it's unknown.

Lots and lots and lots of chatter and smoke on NFL twitter about us trading with the Bears for 1 overall.  I think its happening ladies and gentlemen.
