Going for the big money in free agency...ugh...

I'm guessing Ryan Pace doesn't understand what a Franchise Tag is.

I told Seacrest but he wouldn't listen.

so prior to last season they did not offer the 5th year of the rookie deal... based on what they had seen of fuller he was a bust.... and guaranteeing him the 5th year at over $8M what have been ridiculed vigorously

good for him he finally played well. bears have plenty of cap space and should be able to overpay and offer a front loaded contract to fuller to keep him

Just when I'm bullish on Ryan Pace, stuff like this comes out. I really don't think he knows what he is doing.

I'm fine with not tagging or paying Fuller. Teams targeted him for a reason.

Between rookie year and injury he was a disappointment. He did what he had to do going into free agency. I thought he had a good year but someone will give him a lot of money and he will likely not be worth what he's been paid. I don't have anything against him but someone else can pay his freight.

He dogged it coming back from injury in 2016. That shows you something about a football player.

Still, I would tag him and let him show the world he can play for more than one season

Clear sign they are saving up to spend big on Landry/Robinson/Watkins plus maybe one of the OL. So all in all a good thing if you ask me.

Agreed

Well, that sucks. First they lose David Fales, now Fuller.

The only time I can recall you and dolphin missing. Even though after last season I'm sure you both would argue that you didn't miss.

Isn't this thread proof enough?

Please let them spend big on Landry or Watkins. I want the Bears to finally be competitive again but that type of LOL move will suffice in the short term.

I don’t want any part of them getting Robinson. I don’t think he’s seeking a big deal yet though.

Fuller’s good when healthy.

Your perfect prediction record remains intact.

He was good because he overachieved.

You can't expect that in the NFL every year.

Bye Fuller. Love ya and if I were you I would go for the money too.

Would rather have Amukamara for this very reason.

I think Robinson is going to be a very popular target. Bears really have no excuse not to get him though.

Why would the Bears sign a free agent WR? Kevin White and Cam Meredith will be returning. That's like signing two free agents, right?

Kevin White

Yeah, but Bears management are idiots, too.

They should really sign Robinson + Watkins/Landry + a flier like Pryor/Gordon. They won't, but they should.

I really like Watkins.

I wonder if that signals Whitehair moving to OG, which is the position they drafted him to play. I hope it does.

Sounds like the bears are considering the franchise tag for fuller?

Zach Fulton to the Bears is a near lock.
