Hub tweeted about the deadline approaching, and there being some interesting possibilities if the BEARS are interested. He specifically mentioned Alex Mack (C - ATL) and Cam Robinson (LT - JAX). I have no idea if either guy is available. Both are in the last year of their respective deals. Mack is 35 in less than a month and makes pretty good cash. He'd allow you to slide Whitehair back to G. Robinson makes less $$. He just turned 25 and was their 2nd round pick in 2017 (#34 overall). I don't know much about other players (non-BEARS) around the league, outside of those about whom you hear a lot. I've no idea how good either guy is. I know Mack was a stud at one point.
It's funny to read fans proposals on Twitter though. They act like it's Madden and you can do anything you want. First off, after trading (up) for Floyd, Trubisky, Miller, Mack, Montgomery, etc... don't you have to start keeping as many draft picks as you can? It seems like every draft we go in with 5 picks or something. Mack was worth it, but they're just getting over that trade in terms of draft capital.
Then there's the SIGN/TRADE FOR EVERYBODY crowd. "Michael Thomas is available!" Like that's going to happen. Aren't they still trying to figure out how to pay AR? "We should've gotten (every single player available), like Damon Harrison, Leonard Fournette, & Leveon Bell." How do you know if that was even a possibility?: Yeah, if a good reporter says the BEARS weren't interested or something, fine. But maybe those guys had no interest in coming to Chicago.
Maybe Spain has something to give. It doesn't seem like the league is in a big hurry to sign him. The guys on the street are usually there for a reason. I'd love a WR speed threat like Will Fuller. But BO'B isn't there to do dumbass trades anymore. I'd love a speed threat opposite Montgomery, a guy like Alexander Mattison. But he's in his 2nd year, is almost assuredly not available - esp not to a division rival. I'd love a big run stuffer and OL help. Outside of our disappointing guy (Miller) for your disappointing guy, I don't know how much you can do. It'd be nice to see a list of who exactly is available and for what price.
