Would rather keep Lynch or get Shane Ray, or better yet, keep growing Irving/Fitts for cheap.

I still want them to play Irving, see what Fitts has and find a role for Iyiegbuniwe. Mack is the last big name we are going to see here for a while. Not saying Beasley is a great player, just has a big name.

Take this with a grain a of salt, actually a full salt shaker but this is a possible trade scenario:


Jeff Haynes/Associated Press
If the Falcons were to acquire an expensive pass-rusher like Hughes, that could lead to a domino effect that just might send Beasley to a spot like Chicago, where the Bears would probably love to complement Khalil Mack with a relatively inexpensive former Pro Bowler.

It's possible a change of scenery would be best for Beasley as he enters a contract year at the age of 27, and his $12.8 million walk-year cap hit wouldn't cripple a Bears team that has limited salary-cap space.

Sure would be interesting to see him in a lower-pressure role with Mack and several other high-impact front-seven defenders leading the way in Chicago. The short-term gamble makes sense for the win-now Bears.

Potential trade: Bears acquire Beasley from Falcons in exchange for a third-round pick


If the Falcons are smart then they'll just cut him instead of paying $12.8 mil for an average pass rusher. He definitely isn't worth us trading for him.

I thought I.Irving actually did some good things when we finally gave him some playing time towards the end of the year.
