Is playing lights out.....please, please extend his contract..thank you.
I think he walks. I would hate for that to happen, but I would also hate to pay him and have him regress.
Would you guys franchise him? I don't think he's worthy of it..... but the thought of losing him for nothing makes me sick.

I think the Bears had until May 2 to pick up his 5th year option.
So now, I believe he's restricted.
Which means he can go to the market for a contract, but we have the opp to match.
No he's unrestricted. If the 5th year option isn't picked up the player is unrestricted.

Offer him a deal, if he says no, hit him with the non-exclusive tag.
He’s going to test the market for sure. He put tobther a great season so his stick is high, plus he’s had some downs here in CHI with being benched and falling out of favor. Furthermore, it’s pretty certain that the coaches will be fired which leaves a lot of uncertainty of where he fits in with the team.lots of uncertainty to stay here in Chicago.
If Fox is fired, Pace may decide to tag him so the new coach can fully evaluate him next season. Might seem strange after declining the 5th year option, but I think it's better than just letting him walk. Unless he just wants out of Chicago no matter what. Really couldn't blame him considering....
Yeah, that’s really the only option imo. That said, Pace has been pretty thorough in “purging” players of the previous regime, so I don’t think he goes to the lengths of franchise tagging Fuller.
