Who are the Bears going to draft #1?

[shopson67]

Its hard to get a feel on the Raiders because they might be picking between something like Bo Nix and Justin Fields. Not exactly plan A for most GMs

Where does Cousins end up is another good question. Who antes up?

The teams with the most cap space (Commanders, Patriots, Bears) are also in position to get the top 3 QB prospects. Titans are also up there, but would seem to be moving forward with Levis. Everyone else has their QB until you get to the Raiders at 10th in available cap.

If he has an agent, he knows what the league rules are. Salary is predetermined, ownership isn't allowed, etc. The reports are either false, he's an idiot, or he (or whomever is releasing these statements) is trolling.

So you don't know.

I'm not him or his agent or the person who wrote the article, no.

My guess is the Vikings pay up on Cousins and then trade down in rd1 to build up their defense. IIRC they could use one or two DTs. Its hard to imagine Cousins would want to leave with those WRs and IIRC their oline is actually pretty decent now.

Their defense was pretty weak up the middle. They may also need help at edge if they're paying up at Cousins. They have 3 FA at edge including Hunter (which is the reason why I think they may move on from Cousins).

Justin Fields to the Vikings would be one of the all time WTF moments if they did move on from Cousins.

I could see JJ McCarthy to the Vikings, Penix to the Raiders and Fields to the Steelers. (Falcons pay for Cousins)

How come Williams team never denied the reports?

Because that would require acknowledging them? Don't know.

Does it matter? He can't achieve either result.

Who is Caleb Williams' agent?

Caleb Williams enters the NFL without an agent

The presumed No. 1 pick will go it alone.

This could get messy...

I guess thats one way to get more...keep the agent's cut too lol.

Maybe that explains these outrageous demands, which cannot logically happen.

It's only about a 3% cut. The reason why you have an agent is so they can get you the best deal possible.

At #1 overall, that deal is already locked in. His next contract will need the agent.

I’m not sold on Caleb Williams, but man is that upside there. If he is everything he’s cracked up to be, the bears would have essentially traded Bryce Young for Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, and next years second rounder.

Helluva trade. Although I’d worry about the entitled one

Bears want to be the dollar store Ravens so bad if they really trade down.

 

[Clayton]

Seems crazy to me but even crazier would be a team willing to do a Carolina Panthers type of trade up. It would almost have to be a trade to Washington or New England imo.

It's Williams, for sure. Fields isn't the answer and while I'd be OKAY with Seattle giving up like a 5th for him (that means I'd be happy trading a 7th for him), I don't think he'll ever be a starter. He's a runningback playing quarterback. He has one of the worst pass success rates throwing in a tight window. Basically if someone isn't WIDE THE FUCK open, it's not happening. You have to be able to throw in a tight window in the NFL as a QB.

And you got Kmet, you got Moore... it's a deep WR and OL class...

Williams, best OT on the board with #9... and snag a WR in the 3rd frame with some later DL/EDGE in the 4th.

Here, done and done:
