No Bell. Bell to the Jets - 4 years 52.5 million. $35 million
guaranteed. Max 61.5.
At least no one in our division got him

Wow Bells contract averages $13m and he wouldn't play for $12.5m
last year.
Bears probably could have fit that in their cap.

I think you have the look at the guarantee money of 35 million.
That is basically 3 years of 12 million/season. Bell has been
the most used RB in the game since 2015 and he wanted some
security for injury. I don't approve of him sitting out the
season, but the Steelers didn't want to sign him long term so he
is banking against a major injury and loss of income. Really
can't blame him.
I imagine Bell had an overinflated value of himself in
negotiation with the Steelers. Then burned his bridges. Then,
took what he could get.

Wow an absolute ton of moves by the Bears so far this offseason.
Both Goldman and Mack restructure there deals for the Bears to
gain cap space.
Then the Bears resigned B. Braunecker, sign Buster Skrine, sign
Mike Davis, sign C. Patterson. Seemly more moves to come.
When you have a lot of talent and are knocking not he door to
Super Bowl its all about adding depth and filling some holes.
Keeping Ben B. was depth move, as was the other signing.
I like adding veteran like Skrine, however hopefully we will
still pursue a rookie with more upside long run and add depth.
I think M. Davis is a nice player. However I do not believe he
is a starter. I do think it adds depth and also signals that
Howard is even more likely to be traded. Just my opinion not
saying I want that to happen, I like Howard.
C. Patterson signing does not thrill me. 5m annually for what?
A kick returner? This is not D. Hester. I think Patterson was
solid for the Pats, but I always felt like they were utilizing
him the best they could but he really was a player without a
true position. The thing that makes him valuable is his ability
to play so many positions. He is a backup at RB, WR and a start
on special teams. Just not a guy I would have signed for that
money.
With the Mack move, I think Bears are going for a bigger
signing/trade than I previously thought they would. I am
thinking a S or possibly even a RB.

Absolutely need a safety. RB we can draft. Cant believe we make
the SB without a vet safety. Amos leaves a big hole.

The thing that made me leery about Bell is him taking off all of
last year. Who knows what kind of shape he comes in at.

Doesn't Patterson suffer with migraines?

I don't know how migranes may have affected Patterson but he has
only missed one game in 6 NFL seasons, 95/96 games. With the
departure of Bellamy/White he and Wyms back up the 3 starters.
Plus he resolves a problem at kick return where the Bears were
dead last in the NFL. I think I read he could add 8 yards of
field position per return.
Bears #1 need now is safety but that can be filled in the draft
to compete with Devin Bush. I'd also like the Bears to draft a
nickel CB for competition for Skrine. Maybe add a half back
too. That's about all the Bears have picks for.
I don't know what the cap position is today but I'm sure Pace is
not done signing guys...does he have enough to sign a bigger
name at safety? Is there anybody left?
