The Bears have the most space and they have one of the worst Olines in football.

 

My fear is they overpay for a few Olineman.

 

Would Bozeman stay here on 9mil if the Bears offer him 13mil per year?

The DJ Moore trade may have crushed his chances---if they can move Cade Mays to compete with Elf at C and spend the $10m on a WR, they may have to do that.  I even remember someone at the combine, when asked about Bozeman, say something like "we are trying, but you can't sign everyone...."  (That is a gross paraphrase, but I was a bit discouraged when I heard it, and it was before we lost Moore)

I swear people keep ignoring this. Teams can be over the cap and still be in position to get the highest paid player on the market.

 

There is no cap in reality. Teams can make space if they really want a specific player.

Really. So how much more do you think the Panthers have to spend? Could they sign any players they want? Do they have unlimited funds at the moment? 
 

  Now who’s ignoring facts?

Bozeman wants to get paid just like the rest of us.  No home town discounts here

Imagine paying a center 16 mil a year.smh

 

MF'er trying to break the market!

[Reebis21]

If we thought we might lose him, why didn’t we slap the franchise tag on him? What would that have cost us this year?

 

Edit: Nvm…didn’t realize the tag for any Oline position is the all the same. $18mill is obviously too much

It’s actually a really great place to raise a family. I lived there for 5 years of my life, one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.

Some people just don't travel.

 

If only they knew just how big Chicago actually is. Obviously they have their bad parts of the city but Chicago is definitely a great place to raise a family depending on where you live. I only been their once but it was for 2 weeks and I enjoyed my time there. Big city reminds me of New York but less crowed.lol

Yeah and when you are getting paid millions to play football you can live in the nicest parts or burbs of Chicago.  Professional athletes don't look at things like normal people would.  Private school for the kids, nice big mansion in the best part of the city.  Off season homes in even nicer places with better weather etc.

He would never choose to lose $4M over where he would be playing football.  If the #s are close then yes, he probably would stay for a little less here - less taxes too.

Bozeman will hit the free agent market Monday morning 

I’m thinking we roll with Elflein (reason we haven’t cut him yet) until we find an upgrade via free agency/draft
