No one can know for sure, but ACL surgery is really good nowadays. Meredith has said that he'll 100% be ready for camp. He's only 25 and speed was never his game anyway. He's a big physical guy. I think he'll be fine.

My sister is an orthopedic surgeon. I typically refer to her for injury-related questions. So far, so good.

We can go tit-for-tat here... lol

It's pretty amazing what some of these guys come back from and how quickly these days.


He's 25...I think it was worth it to take a flyer on him.
Oh ya I’m not saying he won’t. But it’s possible he won’t be the same. What do I know I work geriatrics now

That was pretty quick to give up on Mitch.

Mitch who? Are you saying that signing Burton is a sign of the Bears giving up on Mitch Trubisky? lol

1.9 mil... Doesn't have to do all that much to hit value on that salary.

If he performs close to what he did in 2016. Suddenly you have a potential 1,000 yard WR for peanuts.

Obviously, he'd get a nice deal next year.

Is the expectation not that Burton will step into the starting QB role?

It's a lot of money for Burton...I guess they feel he's up-and-coming, and I assume that means Dion Sims is out. (pretty similar to the deal he got last year it seems?)

In fairness, in the limited snaps that Burton got in TE-heavy Philly, he capitalized on them. 5 TDs on 23 catches is pretty crazy.

His film is also rather impressive. He's a very, very solid athlete with good hands. Good blocker too. Can line up in the fullback position... etc...

This doesn't interfere with Shaheen, IMO. He's a pure pass catcher and not much else... Burton will be involved in the passing game as well, but asked to do a lot more. They will have separate roles.

Him and Shaheen on the field at the same time could pose a lot of problems for teams.

Though I will say, it unnerves me a little that I haven't heard anything on Shaheen's injury. They were very quiet about it last year when it happened, never really disclosing what was actually wrong. Chest injury is all we got. He came down hard, and missed the last 3 games, and I don't think I've heard anything on him since? I guess no news is good news, but with the Bears, these casual injuries that get no mention seem to end up horrible.

At the end of the year the video gaming idiots on this board will be crying for more WRs--they simply cannot get enough WRs on the roster.
