Chicken Boo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Too bad they passed on Watson and Mahomes. They'd probably be on their way to a Super Bowl. Edited March 17, 2020 by Chicken Boo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If that was his going rate, and assuming other threads indicating Bills interest, I'm glad we didn't sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs gives us #1 and Brown moves to #2 and we can always draft big receiver to develop. I see RB depth as next position of need and they could get someone with their seconder.

Seoulofstone Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Based on his production last year it doesn't surprise me. He is a good player when he's hot. But that seems like a weird focus in FA for bears. Jimmy Graham and Robert Quinn. Addison is more consistent and significantly cheaper, if older.

They paid a DE top dollar when they are tight to the cap despite having Khalil Mack. Meanwhile they have 1 WR, Oline issues, CB issues, and critically a regressing QB.

TigerJ Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My opinion is the same as several others: too much money and a too long deal for Quinn. Leonard Floyd at the right price is intriguing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 wow, huge contract. Addison is better, and we can also add Reader (inside pressure with Oliver) and/or try to trade for Mack, and pickup Floyd perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather take my chances with a younger guy in Floyd progressing in Buffalo than Murphy, who has already hit his ceiling which is average. And this was a GM that people loved 2 years ago. That’s why you wait on extensions. I didnt love him two years ago. I thought he was a fool ever since the Mitch trade. Paid a lot to make a move he didnt need to make. SF was never taking Mitch, everyone knew that. And if someone else overpaid to get Mitch by trading with SF, so be it...you keep those 3 picks and take Watson at 3, who some had as the best QB anyway in that draft. Mahomes was not considered for the top 5, so wont count him as an option for Bears at 3 even though he's the best one obviously. Many Bears fans I knew were pretty upset with him too about that trade. The Mack trade was insane too. Raiders fleeced them, hated it from the moment they did it. You don't make that kind of trade when your QB had not looked good up to that point. You might need those assets to try again at QB. Mack has done nothing for them, all that money, all those picks...but unless your team is ready for the next step, he isn't going to change the fortunes of the team. I have not been a fan of most of his big moves at all. Thought he did a decent job getting some weapons at WR, not great, but an upgrade. But even dumping a young RB that had been good for them and gave them a potent run game in Howard was not wise. Replaced him with a lesser version of him too in Montgomery. Beane on the other hand has done a sensational job at both managing our cap situation for now and looking forward while also building and stacking talent. Beane is light years better than Pace IMO and I would love to see us lock Beane up long term soon to insure he stays. Although, I am not that worried of him leaving to be honest, he does seem to genuinely love being here in Buffalo and we seem like a perfect fit for him and also seems to gel great with McD. So I wouldn't imagine he would think about leaving for a bigger offer before he finished what he started here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
