Trade up for Fields confirmed.

I feel like I'm getting lulled into a false sense of calm with these last few signings, like everything is going to be alright. Let's see how reality smacks me.

 

[Milky]

Good singing even though I was more than happy to see how Ejax would play next to Bush. I thought Desai would maybe use Bush more like Fangio used Amos and let Ejax play centerfield more often.

Trade up for Fields confirmed.

This bodes well for the Bears.

 

[baredown]

Can't have too many T. Gipsons...

 

[WindyCity]

If you want the option to move up for a QB, you need to plug a bunch of holes that would normally be filled with mid round picks.

 

[bullsrose]

happy to have him back

happy to have him back

Agreed, I'm assuming the deal is very cap friendly as well.

IMO, Gipson was better than Haha was the previous year.

 

[bearmick]

I initially thought this said @Grimson has re-signed. I'm mildly disappointed now.

Increases Draft flexibility. Either a trade up....or....BAP.......OT........QB.......WR......

I'm a big D.Bush fan and have been since we drafted him but i'm much more comfortable having him as our top backup safety and i really liked how they used him when Trevathan was hurt and they had Bush playing some ILB and Box safety.

Love that we're bringing back T.Gipson.

Good signing.

Bears news that doesn't suck. How novel.

 

[Montucky]

He's undervalued. He played really well last year and made his fair share of impact plays in the secondary. The safety position is worth less than runningbacks these days it seems.

I will continue to breath air while Montgomery holds his breath waiting for a bigger contract than Eddie Jackson's.

Well Eddie Jackson was coming off a season where he was the best safety in the league and he got about two-thirds the guaranteed money Ezekiel Elliott received just a few months prior.

I wonder if there were any other factors in the contract differences of those two, or if it literally came down to them playing different positions. makes ya think!
