Free Agency

Bears sign CB Pierre Desir to 2 years 8.5 million/4.5 guaranteed

At 6'2 Desir is a nuisance for receivers in man coverage. This could be the best signing of the year and compared to Bryce Callahan he will also be relatively cheap with a pretty big upside.



Bears sign OLB Shane Ray to 1 year 3 million

Shane Ray will be out to prove his worth after injuries, lack of playing time, and other factors that have held him back.



Bears sign CB Brian Poole to 1 year 2 million

26 year old slot CB has played well in the Falcons slot for a few years but has regressed as of last season a change of scenery may be just what he needs.



Bears sign K Dan Bailey to 2 years 4 million/2 guaranteed

It would be smart to prevent the Vikings from bringing back Dan Bailey one of the best kickers in the NFL. Robbie Gould would be nice but there is a good chance that he may rejoin the 49ers after this season. He finished his 2018 season by making 21 of his 28 field-goal attempts.



Draft

Round 3: RB Bryce Love 5'10 196lbs

Durability is the big concern with the speedy Stanford RB Bryce Love but give him a year sitting behind Bears RB's Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen to get healthy could be just what the RB needs.



Round 4: OT Max Scharping 6'6 315lbs

Harry Hiestand can turn coal into gold giving him some young talent for him to develop is a smart move that could have a big payoff.



Round 5: S/DB Lukas Denis 5'11 187lbs

His production really slowed down last year but he is still a ball hawk of a DB that can cause turnovers he is going to need to bulk up in the NFL.



Round 7: DT Daniel Wise 6'3 291lbs

Bullard needs to step up big in 2019 or he will lose his job and with RRH and the rest of Bears defensive line depth soon to be free agents it's time to start bringing in some young guys to learn the system.



Round 7: QB Easton Stick 6'2 220lbs

Easton Stick went to a small school but it would be wise for the Bears to start developing a young QB instead of spending big on a back up QB every other year.



UDFA

Bears sign P Mitch Wishnowsky

Dan Bailey?

Great idea; let's replace the dipshit who missed the 2nd most kicks in the leauge with the dipshit who missed the 4th most kicks.

Oh...and hell no to that backup qb depth chart

This would be a bad offseason.

1. Not releasing McManis who not only provides great special teams play, but also showed he provides depth at corner

2. Pierre Desir is an outside corner, so not only are you releasing McManis and letting Callahan walk. You are also relying completely on a 5th round rookie to hold his own immediately in a very important role.

3. Bryce Love is fools gold, people think he’s a great player because he was a heisman candidate. He’s not as good as people think.

Desir in the slot with no backup, I'm sure that would go well.

Pierre Desir is a great up and coming corner that can play outside corner and slot which he did play most of last year and had the best year of his career so far but I think in mid December they moved him to starting outside corner. I'd like to see Lukas Denis start in the slot since he's the perfect fit for it but as a rookie he may get overlooked and forced to red shirt.

McManis will be 32 years old next season and we need to start replacing him with younger depth, Kevin Toliver played special teams last year and did pretty darn good.

Bryce Love was recovering from a bad injury in 2018, 2017 version of him is a monster. I know user named "Jordan Howard" isn't going to like any name I throw out there to be his cheaper replacement but if we can find a cheaper replacement that can catch like Forte and pair him with Tarik Cohen Bears would be better off.

Brian Poole, Pierre Desir, and Lukas Denis can all play slot. I'd like to bring back Bryce Callahan but it will probably end up being him or Adrian Amos.

He is also the former second-most accurate kicker in NFL history, the groin injury he suffered against the 49ers in October really screwed up his season.

Agree but was Chase Daniel worth $5 million per year? No! If that's the case what do you think a decent back up QB will cost but I'm actually in favor of bringing back David Fales. Paying 6 million or so for a guy like Brock Osweiler, Ryan Griffen, or Teddy Bridgewater seems like a waste of money when we can develop a QB and maybe some trade bait if he does well.

* Bears sign David Fales to 2 years 2 million/1.5 guaranteed

Desir is going to make 7-9 million over 3-4 years. He was a stud for the Colts.

No to an undersized RB with a torn ACL in round 3.

Desir will cost more than Callahan. Poole will cost more that McMannis. Denis, meh.

Bryce Love, no thanks in the third.

Other than Shane ray, I'm not sure anything about this offseason projection is good or anywhere near correct as far as salary projections go....but nice try......more like miss the playoffs offseason mock.

If we sign Poole im going to jump off a fucking building i don't even understand how he still plays in the NFL he single handly lost the falcon the superbowl.

Coal becomes diamonds not gold.

This thread gave me cancer.

Nice. I remember a lot of people wanted the Bears to draft Pierre Desir. I'd like Bryce Love, too.

I don’t mind drafting a running back at all, just not Love. Bruce Anderson and Dexter Williams are far better options that will probably be drafted after Love.

Also if we are looking to sign a FA corner, it should be Brian Poole we target. Perfect fit, he’s a blitz threat and also a damn good cover man.

It's a very good thing that Dezbears will never GM the Bears.
