Hicks trade talk is back

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Not expecting a SB.

Just thought we'd have more than a "meh roster" 7 years in.

And I thought you'd shut the fuck up a couple hundred posts ago..... and yet here we are. ?‍

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Hardly. He's not that important imo.

Trading Hicks would also allows a Robinson extension.

These have nothing to do with each other.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Yeah but have you met Peter?

He's a dick.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

So if we had had more picks, but hit on a lesser percentage of them, that would be acceptable?

That was the 'pre-Mack' years

 

[Black Rainbow]

Is Goldman coming back? Whats his contract status.

He's signed thru 2023 with a $7M cap hit this season.

Hicks isn't what holding up a Robinson extension. Extending Robinson would lower his cap hit a bunch for 2021.

Ppl are entitled to have an opinion.

Put me on ignore, rather than hurl insults.

@halftime, you might be better received if you actually gave solutions or even ideas for improvement instead of constantly complaining. It takes you from being objective and intuitive, to just sounding like a whining bitch. Hence the negative feedback from folks.

That said, does anyone have an idea which FA’s currently out there would make our team better than it would be with Hicks? I find it hard to believe a worse/less consistent pass rush can be shored up by any of the FA CB’s currently out there. The closest player that could “possibly” improve the team (on offense) that I’ve seen anyone say is Moses, and even that is suspect. He’s not replacing a guy we’re paying 4.25 mil to at RT, so at most he would be an expensive depth signing incase Jenkins goes down with an injury?
Perhaps I’m missing the point and everyone ok with not competing this year?
I personally would rather they at least go to the plate and take their swings as opposed to just forfeiting and taking the L.

I think there is an extra year with Covid opt out

100% agree.

My opinion is your opinion's suck.

This. Would give 18M back to the Bears (minus whatever guaranteed money/Salary to Arob)

Offer a solution with $9m in cap space and limited draft picks?

There might not be a good one.

Whatever.

Well in the ditch Hicks scenario, it would be closer to $19mil would it not? lol What then do you think? Could we improve? Or is it just a signal to the rest of the players that the Org is giving up on them this year already and they haven’t even taken a snap? That’s not the way I would lead, but then again, I can understand that some people here have never lead and therefore they don’t always take everything into consideration.

I doubt they get someone to take Hicks. I would just keep him for the season rather than get a 5th round pick.

...a 4th now we're talking.

Nowhere there did he hurl an insult. Since you're so thin skinned why don't YOU put him on ignore.

 

[gallagher]

Damn I do love Hicks, he is a classic kind of player and really fits the attitude we want on our defense.

But, like with Fuller, I totally get that hard decisions have to be made when the cap went down due to the pandemic. It sucks but that is the business side of the game.

If he is gone, I hope he goes to a contender. Fuller took a one year deal to play with the coach that got the most out of him, and could feasibly find a better team next year to pay him the big bucks. It won't be the same for Hicks. He'd be a monster for Tennessee...

Mind your own business, busy body.

So much butthurt in here. Show us on the doll where they touched you.

 

[WindyCity]

So if we had had more picks, but hit on a lesser percentage of them, that would be acceptable?

If you have more picks and hit on the same level of picks you have more players on cheap rookie contracts.
