The Chicago Tribune reported last week that the Bears were trying to trade Brown -- a scenario that likely was made difficult by the $5 million remaining on his contract next season.

I can't see the Panthers paying half that price for DE Alex Brown but there may be teams out there that will..

After signing Julius Peppers to his big contract the Bears earlier released CB Nathan Vasher and now DE Alex Brown in a cost cutting effort, attempting to stay within their projected budget.

For their own sake,the Bears better hope Peppers plays to the level of his big contract,or his signing will have been in vain.

Just drive that nail in that coffin a little farther Angelo.

Cheap, potential to be productive (6 sacks last year, could be worse). As someone mentioned earlier, if we are going with the committee route then he certainly would be a good pickup.

It's not like we still wouldn't use one of our higher picks to address the DE need as well. Or pair him with a good DT to take pressure off him.

I say go for it.

I think it would be a wise decision to sign him. Then if your sitting there 48 and all the DEs or WRs you have rated high are gone (I have seen quite a few mock where they were) it give you flexibility. I would trade for 2 3rds and get Atkins, Gilyard/Ford, and Torrell Troup. Atkins and Troup would be huge additions to our DT rotation. Troup is IMO the best 4-3 NT in the draft and would help this whole line out and Atkins will bring the heat up the middle.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
