You are in charge of the Chicago Bears. You have had a 'mare of a season, grumpy fans and a new head coach. Your WR2 is off to New York. You are in a division with elite players and pass-friendly teams, but whose ageing greats might make them vulnerable if you can develop your roster.

You have a quarterback who, in a week's time, will have $10M guaranteed for 2016. He's had a mixed season. Again. It's a seller's market this season, with half a dozen teams interested if a player of his calibre becomes available. That might not be the case in a year's time and another expensive season could leave you with damaged stock.

Do you trade?

yes, id pick up hoyer and trade out cutler. with both cutler and marshall gone there will be decent cap space and and strong draft position means room to grow. need to except the bears are favs to finish 3/4 this season.

Who would want Cutler?

The way I understand the rules over contracts, as Cutler is guaranteed his money, if the Bears want to trade him they need to find someone who will pay his contract.

I can't imagine anyone doing that unless they throw in their first round pick.

What a mess the Bears are in and another awful season likely in 2015.  A franchise that prides itself on a hard hitting defence and this has been their weakness for the last 3 seasons at least.  Two seasons ago the holes in the defence were being covered up by the ridiculous amount of defensive touchdowns and turnovers, not sure what the numbers were but I don't recall a team have so many.  Dead last in the nfc north this season.

It was only 5 months ago Michael Irving was crowning Jay Cutler the MVP of 2014/2015 before he even took a snap.  He can get away with this type of comment as he apparently has 3 superbowl rings

Ndamakong Suh going to the Dolphins for a pittance $114m, with $60m guaranteed. That's a gamble.

Jets RB Chris Johnson has been shot in the arm. Seems to be ok, mercifully.

Bills have reportedly agreed deals with McCoy and our DE, Jerry Hughes.

Jon Ryan getting into the spirit with this tweet:

60 million is 2/5ths of there total salary budget is a DT really worth that much

No, that's over four years, I think.

Iron, your boys have agreed a deal with Frank Gore (49ers rhinoceros-in-chief).

I'm sure it's saving money. $7.5m guaranteed in the first two years is definitely less than you'd have paid Shady. Gore is 32 but suits the style of offense. He's going to get plenty of work in that no-huddle offense!

want to see where they put the money saved on the 3 big hitter they released

Jacksonville nearly there with the Julius Thomas deal and are pushing Dallas to try to get Demarco Murray.

Hard to see them finishing above the Colts, but this is a team with two elite weapons and $40m still to play with. Need more to challenge with the big boys, but green shoots and all that.

The London games look better, suddenly, too.

What I don't understand is why a player like Julius Thomas would even consider leaving a Championship calibre team for a bunch of no hopers just because they'll pay him 10% more money.

When his career is over will he get any satisfaction from looking at his bank statements for the 2015/16 seasons when he earned $11 million instead of the pittance Denver would pay him?

Or would he prefer to be wearing a ring?

Baffling.

Greedy ****s

Sanchez supposedly back to Eagles on a 2yr deal.

If they're trading up for Mariota, has Foles' arm dropped off.
