Packers signing Graham. Going to save my scorn for when I see how much...

Packers also releasing Jordy Nelson.

Scorn? Why???

TE is the weakest position on the team.

Hopefully he's the next Martellus Bennett up there.

It is - the question is how much we paid and the fear that we shelled out a lot if Brate and Burton (the latter of whom I think could be worth the money he signed for) are raking it in. I am positive we can use him better than Seattle did, but he's exclusively a WR at this point. Zero ability as an in-line guy.

Edit: I realized based on Waldo's post that it seemed like Brate and Burton were still on the market. They signed for huge money.

About time. Dude has run like he has an anchor around his neck for the last two seasons.

I think the Bears already took Burton off the market

I think he meant he wanted to see Jimmy's price tag on the market.

But on that signing, when is the last time GB had a TE that was a featured target? Does MM know how to use a TE? Jimmy seems just like a nice redzone target at this point, jump balls/fades/etc. Doesn't have the quickness to get up the seam. But I'm probably wrong and he will catch 90 passes and 15 TDs next year.

Bears now add Taylor Gabriel to play the slot. They've completely revamped the receiving corps today. Still work to be done on the O-line, CB, and edge rusher but this is an excellent start. Very happy thus far.

jesmu84 · « **Reply #2434 on:** March 13, 2018, 04:35:37 PM »

Bears rumored to be signing Taylor Gabriel. That's quite the turn around with the receiving corps. Plus the added TE

jesmu84 · « **Reply #2435 on:** March 13, 2018, 04:36:53 PM »

Would think bears are looking Oline, CB or edge rusher with first round pick. OG Nelson vs Ohio State or Iowa CB vs best 3-4 olb rusher available.

Agreed. Tremaine Edmunds could be a wildcard based on his physical ability and age. I've read he might be more suited to play inside LB than edge rusher.

2016, once Cook got healthy.

I think the Packers are going to have to give Rodgers all of Door County at this point.

As dey should. 160 four 4 years, all guaranteed. Danika probably lickin' her chops and udder thin's. Ain't chit witout him, aina?

Imma go back to to my comment about hoping the Packers pursue Meredith. Little chance the Bears match anything now

I really hope the Bears can hold onto Meredith. Much rather have him as WR2 than White.

wadesworld · « **Reply #2442 on:** March 13, 2018, 07:28:58 PM »

Mo Wilkerson is a nice get.

Disagree. It would obviously depend on how much was offered but the Bears are unlikely to let him go, especially to a division rival.

I'm guessing bears would match any reasonable offer - for his experience/talent/ability. Anything outrageous, they'd let him walk.

Generally been a Ted supporter, but this is the kind of move we've been missing. High upside prove it deals with vets. Petting got the best out of him once - he can go get that big payday again if he repeats.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #2447 on:** March 13, 2018, 08:54:19 PM »

Decent Wilkerson signing, obviously if things go south quickly like they did in New York, the Pack can cut bait quick.

Interested to see the Graham terms.

Also curious if Allen Robinson passes his physical.

tower912 · « **Reply #2448 on:** March 13, 2018, 08:56:20 PM »

Patricia wanted to build the Lions defense around linebackers. He went out and got two. Need a D-lineman with Ngata going to Philly. And a FA running back.

MU82 · « **Reply #2449 on:** March 13, 2018, 10:20:04 PM »

Good moves by the Packers and Bears today, and of course the Vikings got a very good QB.

Not thrilled with my Panthers' day. They got a decent CB that they really needed, but they lost one of their best OL in Norwell and a darn good space-eating DT in Star Lotulelei.
