It COULD be meaning we really don't know if this is an upgrade over Jakobi. We do know Mac was comfortable with Jakobi

JuJu is a much better athlete and more capable WR and faster.

Again not sure I agree with this. JuJu looked great in Pitt when AB was opening the field for him, since then he has been very mehhhh

"But the reason why Bill Belichick and his staff likely opted for Smith-Schuster is due to his higher upside as a dynamic playmaker.

Even though both receivers have the natural acceleration and hands to burn defenses out of the slot, Smith-Schuster’s physicality and stop-and-start burst allowed him to turn simple five or six-yard pickups into first downs with Kansas City."

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports WR Bisi Johnson will meet with the Patriots.​

Johnson missed all of 2022 after suffering a torn ACL in training camp. He's now missed back-to-back seasons with a torn ACL and hasn't played a down of football since Week 17 of the 2020 season. Since being drafted by the Vikings in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Johnson has appeared in 32 games, totaling 45 receptions for 483 yards and three touchdowns. Wherever he lands, he'll undoubtedly arrive on a cheap deal, but will need to battle for a spot on the 53-man roster in camp.

Bears are looking for an established Edge Rusher.

Would you trade Uche for the #9? or the #53 & #64?

Would you swap him and #14 for #9. #53 and #64?

They are supposedly calling everyone trying to fill three spots. OT, DL and Edge.

Agree, Juju gets a better panorama.

 

[Dude]

Say what you will, JuJu should have been the MVP of the last Superbowl. He caught every pass thrown anywhere near him. Kelce got the TDs but JuJu did all of the dirty work.

He's also going to be the biggest target for Mac.

I heard Felger bitching last night about JuJu having ONLY 993 yard receiving and 3 TDs from the best QB in the NFL. Excuse me? Travis Kelce is Mahomes favorite target and everyone else is a second or third target .

I'm willing to bet that JuJu breaks 100 catches and 1000 yards in 2023.

Hope so.

Bill might but giving the 9 to the Pats means we take the Bears best OT pick!

Not sure what you mean?

I thought the Pats would give up Uche and 14 for their 9, 53, 64

only in kens world

 

[BigKen]

only in kens world

In my world, if Jeudy is worth a 1st and 3rd, then Uche is worth (2) firsts and (3) thirds.

I was asking a """WOULD YOU""" question, not demanding.

Bears need an OT and so do we. If they give up the 9 it would be knowing they are going to miss out on the best OT.
