There's a little bit of difference in trading to #2 when you
have the 3rd pick vs the 20th pick.
But based on what I've heard talked about for what it would take
to get Wilson/Watson its probably along the same lines. Big
difference is a #2 pick probably doesn't effect the cap as much
as one of the veteran QBs.

Other difference is that you aren’t sure what you’re getting
with the #2 pick. You know what you’re getting with
Wilson/Watson.

I don’t see how the Bears are even in any trade considerations
for Watson or Wilson.
Giving the pick 20 and presumably later first rousers in later
years doesn’t help them get their next franchise QB.

But what would we do with Speed Bump Charlie????
Orlando Brown wants to play left tackle and he knows that his
chances of doing so with the Ravens are nil as long as Ronnie
Stanley is healthy, so he asked for a trade last month to a team
that will put him in that spot on a full-time basis.
The Ravens say they’ll do what’s best for the team and they have
granted Brown and his agents permission to talk to teams about a
deal. Brown told Mike Garafolo of NFL Media that there are
“ongoing conversations” with six teams about a deal and that a
new contract — Brown is heading into the final year of his
rookie deal — would be part of the package.
Brown played left tackle before going to Baltimore and said his
father Orlando, who also played for the Ravens, told him not to
“settle for playing right tackle.” As a result, Brown said his
desire is “a lot more emotional or spiritual” than simply about
football matters.
“It’s a situation where Baltimore knows my plan isn’t to play
right tackle,” Brown said. “I feel more comfortable on the left
side. That’s where I had played my whole life. I’m a better left
tackle than right tackle. . . . It’s been my goal to be a
starting left tackle in this league. To be presented with the
opportunity realistically, it’s hard for me to turn something
like that down.”
Any deal Brown and his agents are able to work out will have to
pass muster with the Ravens, so there’s still some pieces to
fall into place. Garafolo reports all parties believe something
will come together, however, and that may lead to Brown going on
the move sooner rather than later.

Yeah I posted that about a month ago.
It would work for the Bears except for the new contract. A last
year of his rookie contract would open options but right now the
Bears have no money and any restructuring money looks like it’s
needed for a QB.
Still the idea of a starting LT for maybe a second round pick is
worth looking at.

Bears re-sign Cairo Santos. 5 years 16 million. Final two
years are voidable.

Santos had the best season of any Bear in 2020. Given the cap
situation, I don't know that O'Donnell will be as fortunate.

This is interesting:

[B]Where things stand, the Bears are currently around $23
million over the cap, according to Spotrac. Which means general
manager Ryan Pace has plenty of work to do ahead of the start of
the new league year.[/B]
Thats going to cause a lot of problems. And what has been said
here about how the Bears shouldnt be talking about trading for
Watson or Wilson is graphicly real.

Mack, jackson and whitehair all get restructured. Frees up 23
million.
We'll probably hear about fuller and Hicks soon.
