They're going to squander that amazing defense aren't they?

LMAO, remember when people were telling me the Jaguars wanted Kirk Cousins. I member.
People seriously underestimate Blake Bortles. Its not like we are talking about Jimmy Clausen here for god's sake but it sure seems like people think he is that bad.

Played well in the playoffs. Before that he was pretty bad.

so he's getting average starter money with incentives for more. it'll be interesting to see how the gtd money is paid out, i'm guessing it'll be paid mostly this year so they can cut bait if he cant sustain that relatively high level of play in the playoffs.

I didn't reference the trade at all. I replied to a comment about team chemistry. I simply made a comment. Stop reading into things that aren't there. They averaged 11 wins every year Peters was there contributing to the bad chemistry, so it must not be a big deal. That was the point. I have given no opinion of the trade and certainly not of Andy Reid's coaching capabilities in either direction. You gotta make a pretty big leap to get from my comment to get to your random ass conclusion.

Dolphins Twitter is a buzz than Jarvis Landry’s official website is blowing out his Dolphins colored merchandise.
Sign he is on the move.

Would still think its a longshot he lands in chi, as other teams can offer a 3rd rounder and there are better destinations for Landry to choose from.

I think it is a long shot.
But I also do not see a lot of better opurtunities with teams that could realistically pay him.
Bears have a QB, an offensive coach, an offense that features the slot WR, and no proven pass game weapons. This would be an excellent spot for him.

Still hard to fathom a team trading a 3rd rounder then paying him 5/80.

Everyone that pays attention knows my position on Landry. Not a huge fan. But part of me is dying to see Pace make a really bold move. I guess the Trubisky trade was bold, but it was still really only a 1-spot move. We've seen some pretty good stud players moved the last couple offseasons and Pace may have to make a big move to get this team where it needs to be in a hurry.
Just off the top of my head, the following players have been moved since this time last year:
Brandin Cooks
Marcus Peters
Alex Smith
Sammy Watkins
Ronald Darby
EJ Gaines
Jimmy Garoppolo
Jordan Matthews
Sheldon Richardson
Kelvin Benjamin
Jay Ajayi
Duane Brown
Marcell Dareus
Not all these players were big needs for the Bears, but of the guys traded before or during the 2017 season, all those teams that traded for one of these stud players made the playoffs, except for the Seahawks with Brown and the Niners, who went undefeated and found their franchise QB. At some point, Pace is probably going to have to get involved in the big-time trade market to speed things up.

The only VALUE to trading picks for Landry is that you don't have to negotiate with other teams. That is convenience. If it is guaranteed that the Dolphins would have to release the franchise tag if there is no suiters, why would a team trade a 3rd round pick? You don't trade 3rd round picks for convenience.

But an extra 4th might be worth it.

Doesn't Landry first have to reach a deal with another team and then that team has to agree to trade compensation with the phins? Say the Bears are so desperate that they blow every teams offer out of the water and Landry agrees to a 5/85mil deal with the Bears. I believe it will have to be a near Glennon esque type overpayment for him to choose the Bears. Then the Bears offer one of their 4th rounders to Miami, how can Miami actually refuse? Of course knowing Pace, he will offer both 4th rounders and a pick next year but that's besides the point.

Why would they have to seriously over pay?
What other team would he be angling to go to that can meet his contract demands?

Agreed.
You don’t trade 3rd round picks for the advantage of being the solo negotiator. Day 3 pick probably worth it.

I don't think these players view a perennial cellar dweller as a premier destination. Also, is Chicago that desirable to a lot of these southern guys ie. AJ? I know we are all excited about the possibilities of Nagys new offense and how good Mitch could become, but I'm not sure that the ufa's do.
