Thank god. Take your chances.

This only benefits (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

I'm saying that making the 5th year fully guaranteed only benefits (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky because the Bears won't offer it. IF he has a great season he'll get a big payday. Under the old deal the Bears had the option of retaining him if he had a big year for less than the franchise tag or allowing him to walk if he sucked. Kinda like what happened with Kyle Fuller

What's the deadline to invoke the 5th year option?

I believe this May, right after the draft.

Here's how the new CBA impacts the Bears' roster (NBC Sports)

Gameday rosters increase from 46 to 48 players

Naturally, with more games come more injuries. And the only way for teams to prepare for those injuries is by having more players available. One of the most difficult decisions that face coaches each week is who the final two or three players should be on game day. Now, with two more players available for active duty, the end result will be a more well-rounded Sunday squad.

One extra offensive lineman

So, here's the catch. One of those two extra gameday spots has to be an offensive lineman. Teams can now carry three backups on Sundays (or Monday night...or Thursday night) instead of the traditional two.

12-man practice squad in 2020; 14 in 2022

One of the biggest benefits for roster building is the expansion of the practice squad from 10 players to 12 in 2020. It grows to 14 players in 2022. And practice squads will be more appealing to players than any competitor leagues, too, with salaries for those players rising from $8,000 per week to $11,500. This is especially good news for teams like the Bears who have a well-established roster of starters and veteran backups but may want to have developmental options in the pipeline. The larger practice squad gives them the chance to do that (especially at quarterback).

Two practice squad promotions each week for an expanded 55-man roster

Speaking of those practice squads, NFL teams will be given the option to promote two practice squad players to their new 55-man active roster every week. Remember: the current structure allows for 53 players on the active roster which gets cut to 46 on game day. With the two practice squad promotions, the active roster grows to 55.

The best news? NFL teams can send those players back to the practice squad without having to clear waivers (and risk losing them to another team). Each player can be called up and sent back to the practice squad twice without the risk of waivers.

would roll dice on njoku assuming he is cut. he must have had a falling out with the coaching staff based on how they handled him at the end of last season

Is the radio dude who was saying that Mack was being traded a few weeks back?

Offense needs a pass catching TE to function well. A really good young pass catching TE becomes available and the Bears are unwilling to bid more than $11M a year for him.

I know that it's only been an hour but the inactivity of the Bears is really pissing me off. The best free agent TE is off the board and a top 3 WR has been moved.

This is a bullet dodged. Unless you want another Trey Burton situation on your hands.

Hooper's not really that good and on a veteran contract not really worth the trouble.

I doubt they'll just hand the job to Bridgewater. Contested camp, that's the way to go.

It’s a ton of money for a league average TE with one half season of proven production
