Does this mean no Russ?
Edit: just saw a schefter say they're not trading him.

They never were going to trade Russ.
Poor Allen Robinson.

Who has been passing to him in his career:
372 att - Blake Bortles
301 att - Mitchell Trubisky
  69 att - Nick Foles
  29 att - Chase Daniel
   11 att - Chad Henne
     1 att - Bryan Walters
     1 att - Tyler Bray

And now, the Red Rifle (who's actually be the best of the bunch)

Just keep Trubisky at that point

Outside of him being Andy Dalton...THEY COULD HAVE SIGNED HIM A YEAR AGO...and not forfeited a 4th round pick for Foles.

Dumb/Stupid/Idiotic...I give up.

They franchise Robinson, delay his payday for a year and likely create some tension and mild animosity...and now add Dalton.  Just unreal front office malpractice.  Cant wait for a sh**show of a draft in a few weeks.  Probably trade up for Kellen Mond a round too early and rush him out in week 7 to save their jobs making the Dalton money a waste.

Honestly I hope Robinson refuses to play

And Pace is responsible for 6/7th of that list, failing to get a RPO QB for Nagy's system. GM Malpractice is right.

Belichick gone wild! Just signed Hunter Henry, which means 2 TEs in 2 days for nearly $60M guaranteed - in addition to all the other dough they've spent.

I don't understand the urgency to sign Dalton. Just wait out the market, see what happens around the league. If you lose out on Andy Dalton (?!?!!), who cares.

The play was to wait things out, and of course the Bears did the exact opposite.

He can't go back. It would be a disaster.

Right.
Vegas is likely to cut Mariotta unless they can trade him, and he'd have been a far better scheme fit and  - if healthy - a QB with some upside.
Seems like this a precursor to them drafting a QB.

The list of Bears QBs during the time the Packers have had 2 is always good for a chuckle.

Didn't Nagy have some input on at least a few of those? And Dalton?

So they whiffed on watson and wilson and decided to pay Dalton for about the same performance level as Foles?

Wtf?

And, in case you're considering that Dalton is going to mentor a young rookie that the Bears would draft.. there's no way you pay $10mil/1 year for a backup. I hope.

Look what they did with Glennon. Overpay for a "stopgap" then ditch them midstream for the rookie anyways.  I see the same thing happening, but there is no way they get a top QB in this draft so it will be even more excruciating

I'm glad my teams debatable move is signing Aaron Jones rather than a center.

Raider cut their center 3 time pro bowl center. Maybe he can be lured to Green Bay.

I mean this makes me feel a little better

And there are rumors going around that it was going to happen until Pete Carroll blocked it.

But still, why rush to sign Andy Dalton...

That makes me feel 0% better.  They still didn't get it done and then hurriedly panicked signed a bum.  This franchise is doomed

They should have gotten rid of Pace and Nagy.

Gee, I wonder who would have the motivation to anonymously leak these reports?

The breakdown of this Aaron Jones deal sounds like a heck of a deal for the Packers.

No kidding.  Essentially a 2 yr $20 million deal, but the cap hit is spread out over 3 seasons.

Rumor is Jamaal Williams to Detroit.  2 years 7 mil.
