I watched a lot of Commanders games last season.....JD5 put him on the map. If not for Jayden,I would gave never heard of him either.....
We have to think Ben Johnson has his handprints on this. Know very little about the guy other than what I initially spit out. Have to watch some game film on him. If nothing else, at first glance he at least seems dependable.

Yeah but if JJ McCarthy doesn't pan out or they don't find another solution at QB and Sam Darnold plays well in Seattle.....Kwesi is getting fired in two years.
They gotta find a reliable backup QB or they could regress with basically a rookie QB.

The Bears killed FA IMO.
I feel we at least covered the number of areas where we were sorely lacking in talent, which were many sad to say. Now we have to see how it all plays out, but all in all I think our GM did a pretty good job.

No chance that happens IMO.
This response is exactly why it would go nuclear.

Our division is pretty strong. One injury of a key player and we could be in the cellar again…and Im not talking about Caleb. We are not very deep. Complete nuclear disaster is definitely possible. Bears have crushed enough spirits in their building over the years to make me skeptical enough that we may be watching a shellshocked Ben Johnson address the media next season…..just like Poles did this season.

I saw my share of Commanders games and dont remember him. You think they struck out on Cupp, Lockett, Hopkins guys who are all being paid anyway?
i get the not wanting Diggs Drama, but pretty sure they will be paying about the same money.

As far as the rest of free agency, there is still plenty of work to do. The starting lineup is sound, a better running back is about all we need, but they still need to win on some picks for injuries.

I was for getting Lockett, but his '24 salary was over 17mil. Now he obviously won't be getting anything close to this in '25, but I'm sure whichever team inks him will likely have to fork over somewhere in the 10mil range. The contract details for Zaccheaus haven't been posted yet, at least I haven't seen anything, but I highly doubt it's for more than 2mil, if even that. I only bring this up because it's already being reported that the Bears will soon be out of cap space once all contracts have been signed, including the upcoming draftees. We've now reached the point of having to restructure, as in kicking the can down the road. So I can see why Poles didn't aggressively pursue Lockett, Cupp, or Hopkins, the latter two already long past their primes.
