Essentially. Multi-year deal and $5M guaranteed.
He’s a rather underwhelming replacement for McKenzie, but the Hines injury nearly guarantees his spot as a returner no matter the cap hit.
No. Possible exception being Rapp in the sense he may become the star addition if he finds a hybrid role on the defense to play and contribute regularly.
Beane won’t swallow a draft pick so quickly. He’ll suck that egg. Sounds like the Harty/Isabella competition got a little tighter though which is a good thing.
I don’t buy this. I’m sure GMs develop hypothetical trade scenarios with their buddies. It’s part of the job. But Beane targeting a TE is a stretch. That run on WRs was no coincidence.
I can't imagine fringe players like Epenesa, Basham, Doyle, Lewis, etc. would have much demand around the league. But you're always hoping for a 5th at best in these scenarios.
Fields is an elite athlete. And the Bears added some decent WRs and finally building the OL. Curious to see if he takes the next step as a passer. That new regime seems on the right track.
