How much cap space does this free up, by trading DJ?

That's what I'm wondering. What we save would have to be offset at some amount by the dead cap though right? He was only in the first year of that deal.

I don’t like the set up though…

If the #1 busts…

You could have a Fields/DJ connection work out great and a QB at 9 work out.  A double hit of egg on the face. 

I’m still ok with it.   Don’t like DJ going there though.  I’d rather of dealt Burns

Doubt you would. But if we are winning games with said QB I'm sure you won't remind us how wrong you were. 

I’ve called a spade a spade many times.

However, my track record on draft picks far exceeds how poorly you wish it to be. Glad to expound if needed  

Even more concerning are the trades I’ve hated in recent memory, and how those exact trades wound up being abject failures. You’re welcome to be excited about it, because this team’s owner wants you to be excited about his newest shiny new toy. 

But with a sub Rhule-tier GM picking, you’re not gonna be smiling for very long.

Deshaun Watson got more from his most uncooperative masseuse than the Bears are getting from us in this deal.

People need to be realistic about what a franchise QB is worth.  Losing DJ hurts us, especially next year no doubt, but the idea we got fleeced in this deal is nonsense.

We got a top 5-10 offensive line now and will hopefully have a franchise QB on a rookie contract.

Things are looking so much better than they have for the past 5 years.

Of course there is risk in everything, but anyone not excited about this (even if you are wary about the compensation) is crazy.

I'm tired of not being a serious football organization.  

We got an all-star offensive coaching staff, and we're giving them their pick of the litter.  It's on them now.

The funny thing is the Panthers could have had the Fields to D.J. connection. 🤣

I hope they know what they're doing. Scouting these quarterbacks is difficult this year. The talent is there, but it's a give and take with every prospect.

Think of it like this. Without a QB, DJ was a waste. Given the situation, we had to decide between a wr or a QB. WR are easier to find than QBs so DJ had to go.

All I can say is they better choose correctly or we are toast.

I PERSONALLY think if it’s Stroud, we’re toast. If it’s Young, you can build with it.

Given all that, I really am surprised teams haven't reached out to you for your services

I feel confident you are smarter than Scott Fitterer, Frank Reich, Josh McCowen, Thomas Brown, Duce Staley, Parks Frazier, etc. who all signed off on this deal... /s

Seriously, Tepper hired an all-star cast of offensive coaches.  If they don't have a plan for moving forward with this move, we got much better issues than just this trade.

There is absolutely nothing crippling about this.  Yes, moving DJ doesn't help our WR corp next year, but we have plenty of money to spend in FA plus the potential to finally draft a franchise QB again.

Crippling is what this fanbase has had to endure the past 5 seasons.

We are finally a serious football organization again.  I don't know what's not to like about that

Exactly. These bozos are acting like they blew up a winning roster with championship aspirations

    • Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.
    • Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?  
    • When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
