Bears

Seems a little strange to restructure his contract to free up money if they were planning to trade him.

Makes him easier to trade

 

[Wassup13_rivals219252]

So we wanted to improve on TE while our front 7 on D is crap?

Makes no sense.

 

[McCaravan]

They were all hugging and celebrating like it was a huge pick. Unless they are gonna run a lot of 12 packages this year

Makes it easier for other teams, but takes away any leverage the Bears would have in a trade. Not that Kmet would bring a huge return in a trade, but now any team knows they have 3 TEs and are looking to unload him so they're going to make low ball offers.

Most teams carry 3 TEs, but in now way should they have used a 3rd round pick on a 3rd TE with all the other needs they have.

You'll see that with every pick from every team. They know the cameras are on.

Are they drafting Billy Donovan next?

I'm not arguing. Just saying this wouldn't be the first time a team has done this

Time.to go back to being a Packers fan. At least they know how to draft.

 

[McCaravan]

I know they used Smyth a lot last year and lost him but did you need to replace your 3rd TE so early?

Agree, but it just confuses me that they would restructure him to free up money if they were planning to trade him and get all of his salary off the books.

Kmet had $7.65 million of salary converted to a bonus, reducing his cap number by $3.825 million to $7.775 million for the year. So it's not like it was a big enough number to make much of a difference in a potential trade.

Do they? They've taken a CB and DT so far. What are your thoughts on those picks?

I can only assume Ben LOVES this guy

 

[4Afan]

So I guess the Bears are just going to try and win every game 52-48 this year.

 

[McCaravan]

Guessing this guy is the new KR/PR

I don’t get it either. To me, DT is a major need.

 

[4Afan]

Agree, but they can't be using a 3rd round pick on a returners when they have so many other needs.

 

[PowerI66]

I guess we didn't learn our lesson during the SF game

The 85 Bears front 7 on D just entered the time machine traveling to 2026.

 

[Silver Rain]

The Athletic graded the Bears' three rounds as follows:
1. A+
2. B+
3. D+

It said the D+ is not a knock on the tight end but on the team's failure to draft for need. The second pick, Logan Jones, won the Rimington Award for the nation's top center. Since he's from Iowa, he could be the next Jay Hilgenberg.
