High 2nd rounder given up

Good for Chicago. They're going to be able to a QB, if they wish, with one of their high 1sts and then can recoup a lot of capital by trading down from their other high 1st.

They added an excellent young pass rusher to their foundation for a good price.

Good Price? Dude is going to command a MASSIVE contract. Maybe they have the cap room?

Do you know how much cap space the bears have?

Couldn't the Bears just have signed him in the offseason and kept the 2nd round pick?

Im guessing, they already have a deal in place. Bears are dumb but they cant be that dumb.

Montez would have completed our post Nwuso defense, oh well.

LOL, it would have been perfect if we could get Williams for a '24 3rd + a '25 4th. Then use '24 2nd on Montez.

And there's our answer. No way in hell we could afford to pay that guy. Good for him getting a massive contract. From a crap team, but still a huge chunk of change.
