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?

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. 
 

don’t let the news fool you..

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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
