Yep and we had like $24m to spare. I was just playing devil's advocate as all those players make us a better team and it is not about a 1..1 comparison but it was about adding talent to talent. I'm just glad GB did not sign Forte. I'm OK without any of those players.
Given what happened with Gronk, I think NE was quite pleased with their 1-2 punch at TE. Quality depth is a good thing.

I have predicted for 2 years he will go to Carolina and take Josh Normans money.

He's 30, lol, that's not that old. Hell Marshall was the same age when we dealt him and this board lost their mind. And no I'm not saying he's close to Marshall but you said age so...

Gordon's talented, but his brain isn't. If you get busted for weed once....it's a red flag...for it to be a repetitive problem, the guy can't be relied upon. Pryor, is actually a guy who is dedicated to the game and his craft, and has a lot of untapped potential.

You think Gordon would be expensive or something? It'd be very much like McDonald. It don't work, he gets cut. By the way, the recent suspension is for testing positive for alcohol. Apparently he's supposed to become a saint after failing his weed test a while back. I know, weed and alcohol, the horror.

I honestly believe the Bears brain trust shares your opinions, and to me, it's a big reason why this team is where it is right now. We don't have Rodgers to make good receivers out of journeymen, hell we don't even have Stafford. We went through that thinking with Cutler and it got us nowhere. You pay what you must to retain good players, particularly on one year deals, otherwise what's the point? To field the cheapest roster possible and hope for the best?
All teams aren't created equal, who wants to come play for this team if the money isn't competitive? So what, we get rid of one of the few legit talents we have left and hope more training camp heroes emerge? We'll be waiting until the end of time for a team constructed that way to be successful.

If AJ leaves, I think Pace goes after Stills/Pryor to try and fill some of his void. He could probably get them on a team friendly deal. I then expect him to take a TE fairly early in the draft and based on the deep TE class that will help. Between QB and our secondary needs, I don't want Pace to select another WR early in the draft.
Meredith/White/Stills or Pryor/High drafted TE.
That is a young receiving core with some potential, imo.

He's nothing more then a WR3 at this point. High end potential is a good WR2. If there is one thing we should have learned over the past two years is that you don't really need a WR1 to go to the Super Bowl. Cam was throwing to Ted effing Ginn. Brady just tore up GB with Chris Hogan. A good QB can mask the deficiencies at the WR position. Problem is we have to find a good QB first.

They need to draft a big fast WR in the first three rounds at a minimum along with a tight end. THis is kind of why I would think that Pace should try like hell to trade down his first round pick. The Bears need a LOT to even begin to be decent on offense as in WR, TE, LT, and RT. A pass catching 3rd down running back also would be a good addition.

Exactly. You don't see them spending #1s on WRs and they do well while we wasted the 7th pick in the draft on White.

Don't forget that everyone lauded that pick.
He just got injured... Get over it.

I'm a Pace supporter, but I didn't like that pick, I wanted Bud Dupree, 2nd choice was Beasley. I get what he was trying to do, build the team up so a young QB has a good foundation around him, but it isn't working quite like he planned, Bears now have shit for QB and pass catchers. I'm a supporter because the run game and offensive line is better than it has been in a decade, plus the defense is slowly getting better.
I don't want to hear about how White looks " great in camp" or how he can outrun Bellamy. If he plays next year, then I'll cheer for him, but if I'm Pace, I'm going into this offseason looking at him as a non-contributor.

Not everyone lauded the pick. He was a 1yr wonder in college who could only run 2 routes and had marginal hands. His ceiling was mostly based on speed. Pace only had 6 picks in that draft and he needed to trade down (or pick Beasley) and acquire more picks as he had 1000 holes to fill. He only picked White to replace Marshall, a hole Pace created. I think Oak is very happy with their WR choice over White.
WRs are a dime a dozen and good ones can be had all over the draft.
