do you go 17plus mil for a 2x all pro lb who is young ? does payne and a 3rd sound real ? how does that effect sweat , chase , kurl , and holcomb ?

Don’t expect the Commanders to get involved in a Roquan Smith trade

Bears All-Pro linebacker has requested a trade. Despite their need at linebacker, don't expect the Commanders to trade for the 25-year-old star.

yeah. save the pick and money and draft a LB next year.

 

[chillerdab]

Payne and a third? Crack smoking.

Pass.

 

[skinsdad62]

How can you not have the money to sign Payne but then have the money to sign smith ?

which is why i don't think the FO is even going to talk to the bears. we have others that need to be extended soon.

draft a LB if we need to and i would try to keep payne

 

[gkekoa]

Hell yes you give Payne and a third.

 

[skinsdad62]

Hell yes you give Payne and a third.

so you pay smith but not payne ? a choice then which is ok

 

[dcrising]

draft a LB if we need to and i would try to keep payne

yup. use the draft and then plug depth holes in free agency

 

[deanpet21]

I agree. I would do it straight up, no third. LB is more a position of need than DT right now.

 

[deanpet21]

Yes. Both teams are in the same situation. I would do Payne for Smith straight up.

 

[skinsdad62]

So you pay smith money you say you don’t have for Payne ? I mean that’s the reason we can’t keep Payne right ? Because the fear mongerers say we can’t keep Payne sweat and chase , right ? But somehow we can pay smith ?

Or it could be that skinsdad62 is right and it isn’t about money , the money is there , but it’s a choice like I said all along

NO the drafting of Mathis should be the writing on the wall that we are not resigning Payne. Yes, I pay Smith right now. If the Beats offer a swap I would do it.

Draft an lb and keep your pick.

again how do you say you cant afford payne but yet you say you can afford smith ? all you did was move money from one guy and gave it to another .

smith costs 17 mil a year within 2 mil of payne

and lets let mathis takes some snaps before we anoint him anything

When did I say we can't afford Payne? I said it would be foolish to give Payne a Jon Allen type deal when we drafted Mathis in the 2nd round. The bigger need is LB. If the Bears offer Smith for Payne, we should do it in a heartbeat.

 

[countryroads316]

I would do a straight up trade with no draft picks i don't think they want to extend Payne

Before the draft many people on this board insisted we couldn’t pay Payne before anyone as drafted .

I maintained we could

Now banking on Mathis to give us Payne play and health is a risky move especially since he has not taken a meaningful snap as a pro

I'd keep Payne and the pick.
