I mean I'd rather have Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel than whatever we'll be trotting out but I wouldn't call that corps completely revamped.

Acantha Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I just think this is the wrong move for almost any team. Mack is elite, and it's certainly exciting to have players like that, but this isn't the NBA. NFL teams have to plan for strong teams, not mediocre teams with a couple great players (unless you're talking about one of the handful of elite QBs). Using 2 firsts for a great player on a rookie pay scale is one thing. Paying a huge contract for one is another. Doing both? The Bears will get some excitement with Mack, but they've mortgaged their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Mickey said: Repeat those words on October 29th while you are watching Brady gash our defense with 300 yards and 3 TD's because we don't have a pass rusher. Yet another good angle. The Bills have one huge problem in the division and it’s number 12 - Mack would have helped solve that problem. I’m telling you, the fans here aren’t ready for what is going to happen this season. Lots of folks preaching patience in this thread will be the first to start panicking after a winless September.

aristocrat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Raiders didn’t have the cash in hand to get the Mack deal done. In order to sign Mack all the guaranteed money must be put into escrow...90 mil. They didn’t have that on hand apparently. Carrs deal, stadium and moving fee seems to have cost them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thank god we didn’t do this. LOL Bears. How many playoff games has Mack won? How about Aaron Donald? Or Mario Williams? Paying two two firsts for a DL is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trubisky is a bust, and there's ample reason to believe he will be, this is definitely true. Trading two 1st round picks and more for a star pass rusher is the kind of move you make when you know your QB is good. I'm glad Mack is in the NFC though. After this season we won't see him again for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Zebrastripes said: What is stopping these guys from holding out prior to year 5? Say a team drafts a qb and he puts up monster numbers his first 3 years in the league. He then decicides to holdout for a new contract. Do you think a team is going to renegotiate with him or just let him sit? It's not a new thing that guys hold hold out with multiple years left on their contracts so what is stopping a player on the rookie wage scale from doing this? I know it hasn't happened yet, but the way players are holding out I can only imagine that it's a matter of time before this happens. When it actually happens then people will worry about it. But I bet CBA expires before it ever does Edited September 1, 2018 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of folks preaching doom and gloom will be surprised if they do better than what they want. You know, like last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Sucks for us. Was really hoping we could erase the stain of Sammy Watkins Jr., but it was not to be. 5 #1's blown on a single pick in the 2014 draft? No, that's Herschel Walker type stuff. The dream dies hard.
