Officially excited about the next ten years of Bears football. I believe this will be a team to be feared before long. The division will be extremely tough however. Gonna be fun to watch. The hope/optimism is back!!

Hate seeing a division rival have a good offseason. Wonder what Watkins is doing, seems he was their first choice, although I suppose you sign the one that’s ready to sign.
Who wants to play the nfc north? Unless Minnesota fails to get the qb they want this division is goetting better top to bottom.

I love this move. The safe move would be paying for Landry, who, yes of course he's an upgrade (everyone is an upgrade) but in my opinion is an icing on the cake guy, not a carry the receiving corp guy. Robinson is a legit WR1 who will scare defenses and will be the guy that creates opportunities for the other receivers on the team. Robinson-Merideth may not be the most conventionally scary combo in the NFL, but the potential is there to be something special.

What is the health status of Kevin White? Is he going to be healthy and able to play in 2018?

No one knows. Wouldn't count on it. Robinson is actually younger than White, too.

Wow, an exciting start to this offseason. Can't see anything wrong with this move, got one of the big players at one of our top positions of need. I know you can't assemble your whole team in FA, but when you lack as much talent as the bears do, you need a couple of these big signings in order to get competitive again.
Good job Pace.
Good job Pace.
He's coming off a broken shoulder, so I dont see any reason he wont be ready to play. Whether he can stay healthy is another matter.
I don't think the Bears gain anything by cutting him, and he probably has no trade value, so I would not be surprised to see him in camp. He may just not make the team. But its interesting thinking of him as a 4th WR, you dont expect too much and he could be a pleasant surprise. Could be a matchup problem in a spread of Robinson, Meridith, and Shaheen- not a lot of teams can roll enough DBs out to account for four 6'3+ receivers that can run.

He's going to be playing WITH Shaheen, not competing against him. This is great stuff, guys. Building an offense around Trubisky.

Good from a real life perspective, but they will be competing for fantasy points. Huge downgrade for both imo.

Burton signing is good for you guys. He produced the few games he needed to when Ertz was hurt, but his numbers weren't there because the Eagles have such a good TE in Ertz.
Burton caught 27 passes last year. The Bears were always going to roster more than 1 tight end, so how big of a downgrade could it possibly be?

You know, I think you are correct. Burton went TE28 in a recent draft, Shaheen at TE22. Those two will likely flip in the next week or so.
I should have said less of an upgrade than I hoped for, not a downgrade.

Not sure what that means. They're making some quality moves for once. I haven't predicted anything. They still have a lot of work to do.
Love how you go from Doomsday to Super Bowl champs with a butter signing.

Richardson would be nice, too. Trubisky still on rookie contract so now is the time to spend. Pace has been very cheap during his first three years.

I think they are setting themselves up for success in the draft. Wont need to go chasing. Anything on the o-line or almost anywhere on the defense will be fine as long as they are good.

Robinson, White, Meredith has potential to be a decent WR corps. Not sure if they will spend anymore on free agent WRs with other needs. Hope they do...Trubisky owner. I know White has proven nothing and he and Meredith are both coming off injury - but there is potential there for Trubisky to have some pretty solid weapons with those guys, Burton and the 2nd year TE, as well as Cohen out of the backfield. Offense should look completely different this year.

Gotten rid of Simms yet? Can't pay him that much with another $8MM tight end on the roster.
Some will say that we overpaid for Burton but ### #### he is a good player and exactly what we need. Just a great athlete, natural catcher and can work all over the field, even in the slot. Nagy is gonna love him. Essentially another receiver with special teams ability and can be used for gimmicky plays too.
Man this offseason is so different - perhaps Pace has learned not to pay mediocre players a lot of money (Sims, Wheaton, Cooper, Rolle, Alan Ball, Eddie Royal anyone? Jesus christ).
Wouldn't mind seeing Decker here. Reliable veteran who is a major team first guy, and can play inside or outside.
