Some fantastic news:
Brad Childress has been circling retirement for some time and
the former Vikings head coach says that he’s finally reached the
point where he’s ready to walk away from football for good.
Childress first said he was retiring in 2018 when he gave up his
job as an assistant to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, but that was
a brief absence from the game as he became an advisor to Bears
head coach Matt Nagy a short time later. He took a job as a head
coach in the Alliance of American Football, but left before the
league’s ill-fated inaugural season to return to Chicago.
Childress said in January that he wouldn’t return to the Bears,
but didn’t close the door on a similar advisory role for Browns
head coach Kevin Stefanski, who broke into the NFL when
Childress was the Vikings coach. Childress now says that door is
closed.
“People say, ‘Is he really retired? Is he really, really
retired?'” Childress said, via Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer
Press. “Yeah. Last year was my last year. I just felt like it
was time to move on. It’s about time. I put my toe in the water
in retirement and pretty soon you’ve got to jump in. It’s more
about spending time with my family and grandkids and that type
of thing.”
Childress was 39-35 as the Vikings head coach and has coached in
the NFL in one form or another since 199.

Bears sign OT Jason Spriggs and cut Burton.

Its no surprise but that increases the odds that the Bears go
after a TE in the draft.

A comment on Spriggs via NBC Sports Chicago:
[B]Where would they use Spriggs ? He can’t play either Tackle
spot,… we saw that. It’s why he isn’t in GB anymore. Maybe at Rt
Guard ?[/B]
From a Packer fan, obviously. If Spriggs has anything left I
think Castillo will get it out of him. This is a coverup for the
draft.

Spriggs, a former second-round draft pick out of Indiana, was
rumored to be a draft target of the Bears in 2016, but the
Packers traded up to take him one spot in front of Chicago at 48
overall. That may have prompted Bears’ GM Ryan Pace to trade
back and eventually take offensive lineman Cody Whitehair with
the 56th overall pick, and Whitehair has been a mainstay on the
Bears offensive line by never missing a start in four years.

So we've signed 2 failed high draft pick linemen.
If they don't show well in camp. can they be cut or is there a
big cap hit?

Almost every high round free agent that Pace has signed, and
there's been a bunch, are on 1 year deals. I don't think these
are big money deals that hurt the cap. These are guys trying to
prove themselves at a discount so they can get that big second
contract.

But are the contracts dependent on making the team?
I'm thinking there will be some good late round prospects that
may be better.

Most of these do have heavy guarentees, but the overall deal is
not big. Example Artie Burns signed a 1 year deal for a million
or so, but $800K is guarenteed.
Late round picks contributing are few and far between. I expect
the Bears to be real aggressive with the undrafted guys.
