If an extra year of pain buys us time to find 2 (hopefully 3) long term cheap quality options it at least makes a little sense

So you're saying they shoulda been taking G"s early in the past few rounds recently....instead of the WR's and playmakers you were wanting at the time.

Ugh.

Bitch ass move (unless tag and trade), Bart.

Anyone who brought it up here got shut down pretty quick.

I think you’re right. They either 1) have a trade partner or 2) have a deal and didn’t want him to get cold feet.

According to Pete Sweeney, the tag was never an option until the salary cap increase was finalized.

I think they are close to a deal and this just buys them time to get it done.

I mean, they have been taking OL projects early. They just apparently ****ed the evaluations up so badly that they won't even pivot to them backfilling on the interior and prefer paying Trey Smith 23 million.

I'd guess they view those two as tackles and not G's....I dunno.

Veach has said that LT is one of the priorities this Off Season AND that they like Suamataias potential inside. Unless you just refuse to take his words at face value, the path forward for Kingsley is already apparent.

Hopefully tag and trade

If they can swindle the Bears out of 41 or even 72 that'd be swell.

Sure, but absolutely nothing I've seen from either guy makes me believe that's likely. Here's to hoping though, because we REALLY need a couple of those guys to stop being useless fodder on the roster.

Hard to say with Wiley, but I know a lot of guys here liked him in the draft.

FAU has flashed a few times. Dee Ford (for all his faults) became a double digit sack guy in year 3. FAU needs a similar step forward.

I feel like Veach's comments about Kingsley makes it pretty clear that he's the LG starting in 2026.

EDIT: Sassy beat me to it.

Bears 39

Tagging Trey says otherwise, because you want your best players on the field evidently that's not Kingsley at OG and Nourzad was drafted specifically for the IOL and did damn good job at Center against the Broncos starters.

ROYC75 02-27-2025 02:24 PM

Uh, like, WTF?

With the needs we have, THIS IS ****ING STUPID!

Paying him OT $$ to play guard with our many issues? SMDH

( obligatory ) oh, can he play LT?

The only thing that makes sense.Some team that actually has enough money to go ahead and pay OT money for a guard.
