more like lol flap. If he had any market value, he wouldn't be signing a 1/14. Let someone else worry about his injuries and the one PED strike. Bears don't need it.Alshon Jeffery to the Eagles for 1 year — $14M lol bears
Serious? It's a one year deal for $14M. What will they have to worry about? They just got a steal.more like lol flap. If he had any market value, he wouldn't be signing a 1/14. Let someone else worry about his injuries and the one PED strike. Bears don't need it.
They'll have to worry about him being injured and / or missing 10 when he gets popped again. Or that he's not the same player because he's not PED'd up for fear of getting another suspension. Sorry - gone, no tears from him leaving.Serious? It's a one year deal for $14M. What will they have to worry about? They just got a steal.
Seriously, one year is all they have to worry about. I guarantee they are not that worried. It's a one year prove it deal that instantly makes their team better and the Bears worse.They'll have to worry about him being injured and / or missing 10 when he gets popped again.

Hope they can replace those 100 catches and 6 TDs over the last 2 years. Going to be tough.

Because when you have this many holes you can't just fill them in the draft, you need to use a combination of the draft and FA to fill them all. With good drafting and FA we should be able to compete within the next two years, that's well within the contract of a good FA.If you pay, say, a top end Right Tackle, and then the best player on your board in round 2 is a right tackle... what do you do? Take a different guy, which violated your core philosophy of always taking the best available? Or draft a guy to sit for a couple years?
What is the point of bringing in flashy, expensive talent to win you a couple extra games and move you down in the draft while keeping you mediocre? Thats football hell defined.
The Bears didnt become one of the worst franchises in football in a year or two, they arent going to fix it in a year or two. Its going to take several years of good drafting to restock the cupboard. Developing 'Bears' has to be the primary focus. Taking that focus away so you can puff your chest out about landing a free agent that doesnt help you in the big picture is how you stay bad.
It does nothing of the sort. He averaged under 5 catches a game over the last 2 years for a team that played behind as much as anyone. 45 different players averaged at least 4.5 catches per game last year. 2015, 51 players.Seriously, one year is all they have to worry about.

You don't think he's talented? Do you think we are set at wr?It does nothing of the sort. He averaged under 5 catches a game over the last 2 years for a team that played behind as much as anyone. 45 different players averaged at least 4.5 catches per game last year. 2015, 51 players.
Getting fewer catches is not his fault, that's the job of the QB and OC. He did what he was suppose to do with those catches and that's average a bunch of yards. He still would have had over 1,000 yards if he kept that pace through those 4 missed games, even with only 4.5 catches a game.It does nothing of the sort.

He's not a Bears fan. Just some dip####You don't think he's talented? Do you think we are set at wr?
Wtsgsgsvsvsb Washington too?!?The Bears lose another player in Corn Wash. Another Emery pick gone.
Making the Bears better was not the question. It was about making them worse. He's an average #2 and replaceable.Getting fewer catches is not his fault, that's the job of the QB and OC.

Please tell me how this makes the Bears better?
I had season tickets for about 15 years, you clown.He's not a Bears fan. Just some dip####
There's no plan. If this were Belichick and all of this stuff was happening, I'd think he's up to something. The Bears are up to nothing but looking foolishI really hope they have some grand plan in order because right now the team is getting worse. Going to be hard for anyone in the front office to survive this third season if they continue getting worse.
We have over 50 million in cap space.The $14 million from the Eagles puts Jeffery back in the top 5 for 2017 WR salaries and people are #####ing about him leaving. Its crazy talk.
Maybe the most ignorant, ill-informed fan base out there.
1. You're not going to get me to argue with you about where the money is going. Its not pretty. There's a lot of it and its not landing the talent they need. but forking out top 5 WR money for Alshon again is not a wise move.We have over 50 million in cap space.
1) Where is it going?
2) Who is catching passes that's more talented than Jeffrey?
Only questions that matter.

At least I provide something and back up my opinions when I'm in here.Don't waste time interacting with the dude
You're talking about mostly #3 WRs, minus possibly Pryor, and the second wave of just OK CBs remaining. That's a disaster of an approach going into FA with as many holes as the Bears have. Not only is the team low on talent. They let their biggest talent walk for nothing when they had plenty of money to pay him. Now they have Glennon at qb, garbage at tackle, no one to throw to, and a secondary full of Crap. At YEAR 3 going into a "rebuild." good luck bearsThey definitely have to sign a WR, thinking Pryor and if not him than Kendall Wright. I've always liked Wright but the problem is he's reportedly a headache for coaches, but I think his skill-set compliments Cam Meredith nicely.
With all the cap space I would think either Logan Ryan or Amukamara would be prudent, I wouldn't mind going for Amukamara and then attempting to solidify the secondary in the draft. But I think at the 36th pick Bears could go for either tackle Garrett Bolles or Ryan Ramczyk
hey at least we still have Kyle Fuller, lol...You're talking about mostly #3 WRs, minus possibly Pryor, and the second wave of just OK CBs remaining.

Could probably need a QB, just sayingI think Pryor potential might be higher than Jeffrey. That would make this a lot easier for me. Guy barely knows the position and had a very good year. Freak athlete.
I guess it's possible but Alshon has shown he is a stud.I think Pryor potential might be higher than Jeffrey. That would make this a lot easier for me. Guy barely knows the position and had a very good year. Freak athlete.
