Have him in Muds league, so was hoping he ended up somewhere with a big armed QB. Not the best FF place for him IMO

I like the MNF double headers for the west coast time slots. Hope they start them at 3:00 pm on the west coast
WR Keelan Cole to the Jets. 1 yr 5.5 mil

Corey Davis, Mims, Crowder and Cole?
Hard to believe they are giving Cole 5.5 to be the 4th receiver, so is Crowder gone?

He missed the first half of the season and team was a total train wreck offensively. He flashed a couple games.
Big part of their plans this year, from what I see anyway. Took him in round 2 last year.

What are they doing? Signing a bunch of below average players. Total tank job?

Lot of good backs in the draft, would be surprised if they don't draft one.
I would assume so but there is a few pretty good ones sprinkled in on D. No clue tbh
Okay....lets take a look at this, and do it with a look at reality shall we?
Mitchell Trubisky last year - 67% completion rate, 2055 yards passing, 16 Tds, 8 INTS, QBR 93.5 - benched mid-season by Nick Foles
Nick Foles last year - 64.7% completion rate, 1852 yards passing, 10 Tds, 8 INTS, QBR 80.8 - benched end of season by Trubisky(injury issues there)
Andy Dalton last year - 64.9% completion rate, 2169 passing yards, 14 Tds, 8 INTs, QBR 87.3 - came in after game 3 or 4 due to injury to Dak.
Know what I see....no real difference. But..... is that true?
Last year was Trubisky's 4th year on that team, 2nd year in that offense. He knew the Wrs and Rbs and the offense.
Last year was Foles' and Daltons 1st year in that offense, with NO experience with the offense or Wr's due to Covid. None. I will add Foles at least got to compete for the starting job, while Dalton go almost no work since he WAS the set back up to Dak.
so lets look at career stats...
Trubisky - 64% completion rate, 10609 passing yards, 64 TDs, 37 INTs, sacked 111 times, 18 fumbles, QBR 87.2 - 4 years - mostly as starter - rd 1 draft pick
Foles - 62.3% completion rate, 13,753 passing yards, 81 TDs, 43 INTs, sacked 115 times, 21 fumbles, QBR 87.1 - 9 years - mostly as back up- 1 superbowl win!!! Go Eagles!!! - 3rd round draft pick
Dalton - 62.2% completion rate, 33,763 passing yards, 218 TDs, 126 INTs, sacked 302 times, 27 fumbles, QBR 87.5 - 10 years - 9 with Bengals - 5 consecutive years to playoffs early in career - WITH THE BENGALS! - 2nd rd draft pick
Guess what, Trubisky isn't better. He had better defenses to work with. I will add though, while statistically they are basically the same, Foles is the only one to win a superbowl. Dalton got his team to the playoffs multiple times.
The difference is Dalton is more steady. He won't make the HUGE mistake. Will he win the Bears the superbowl, absolutely not. No way.
None of these would though. I do think they can potentially make the playoffs with Dalton...and had no real hope with Trubisky.
I also for the record don't think the Bears are done. IF Mac Jones or one of the first round Qbs fall, I can see them making a move to get him.
They have no cap space, they can't go and get the Big targets. Not until they finally pull the trigger and deal Watson, even then the dead money limits them. Best hope is to get young Qb in trade and use the picks to get WR and RB help. Speaking of which, they redid the deal for Johnson and signed Mark Ingram so should have a decent running game this year.

PHI - more talk of Philly taking a Qb at #6 - GM Roseman says all owner says is strengthen the team.... - I think they are trying to get someone to trade up.
JAC - says they are not looking to trade Minshew as of yet - would be cheap back up for new Qb.

They are signing bucket players and are going to get killed in 2021 regardless of weather Watson plays or not. These signings make zero sense IMO

Andy Dalton was ”OK” in his prime but he Isn’t in his prime any longer and has zero upside to be anything more than a slightly below average NFL QB. They would be better off rolling with Trubisky one more year with the hope that it comes together for him in year 5. They can still draft a young QB either way. Dalton is not leading them to the playoffs.
While true “THE BENGALS” made the playoffs 5 straight years with Dalton, it was more the defense that led the way, not average Andy. From 2011 thru 2015, they ranked 9th, 8th, 5th, 12th and 2nd in total defense. They also had a very good o-line with Wentworth, Zietler and Smith. They ran the ball well, played good defense and won some games. Dalton also had one of the premier receivers in football in AJ Green. They also lost every one of their first round playoff games in the period, so Dalton didn’t exactly step up big in those games.
As far as last year, Dalton is an experienced QB and had great weapons. Dallas doesn’t have an overly complicated offense and they have a lot of weapons. Dalton pretty much stunk it up In a good situation.
Zero upside in this move for Chicago.
They have to field a team. Can't say whelp, oh well
