Bears are not matching two-year, $10 million offer sheet that RFA WR Cameron Meredith signed last week with the New Orleans Saints, per league source.

Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy met with Meredith to inform him of decision.

I scooped Schefty on this one.

Stupid move not to match the offer.

Opens up another need before the draft where the Bears are already short on resources.

If you did not plan to match the offer then they should have tendered him at the higher price.

Well... there goes any chance of calm tits for the next few months.

 

[Mitchapalooza]

Special person. White's gonna go down week 3

 

[Omeletpants]

Ryan Pace is a fucking idiot

 

[Zion]

That's a damn shame...

Bears are gonna need to draft a #2 WR.

Of pre-season?

Not a fan of this move either. I saw a lot of potential in Cam and liked that we may have found a gem in the rough. Like Windy said, now we have another hole to fill, doesn't make any sense where I'm sitting.

 

[rawdawg]

Fucking stupid.

Bears are gonna need to draft a #2 WR.

And a #4 WR to replace Meredith.

They know Meredith better than any other team. Either he wasn't high in their plans, or there was still concern about the knee.

Not offering the 2nd round tender was obvious to me that they wouldn't match the Saints' offer. C'est la vie.

How would they have known the price at that time??

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Already had a thread for this.

 

[D.J. Moore]

Why was our decision not to match based on injury when pace has always signed people with past injuries?

 

[Les Grossman]

Dumb move. Pace was on a streak of good decisions too.. shame.
