2nd highest INT% matched with 24th highest TD% is pretty bad.21 TDs and 21 INTs isnt exactly terrible numbers especially when your OL was the worst in the league at protecting their QB
That's a tremendous deal for them.
Yeah, nearly 1,600 carries along with almost 300 receiving touches. Turns 28 in a few months. He fits the exact profile of someone who will fall off quickly.Texans being so quick to extend Mixon seems foolhardy.

Are giving him the 5th year? That’s a big consideration if you hold onto him.Fields is interesting. The cold logical move is to hold him and wait for a playoff hopeful with a weak backup to lose their QB.
The flip side is the stuff you can't see from the outside... how does that play in the locker room, is it a distraction,etc. I wouldn't be worried too much about Caleb having issues, but if Caleb struggles does it get toxic with vets who support Fields?
My guess is for now maybe they hold him until the draft then go back to the QB needy teams that don't get one... DEN, MIN, etc.
nobody is giving him a 5th year is my guess, which is why he has so little valueAre giving him the 5th year? That’s a big consideration if you hold onto him.
Exactly, so holding him til someone goes down earns you prob the same round pick as now but a year later. If I’m Chicago I offload him asap and turn the page.nobody is giving him a 5th year is my guess, which is why he has so little value
Bears trading the first overall pick two years in a row would be something. Worked out pretty well last year. I don't think it's happening this time. My guess is that they have a few offers for Fields but they not very good ones and they're in no rush. So yeah, play it out. If things get contentious with Williams, they can just cut Fields if it comes to that.People just don’t trade the number 1 pick, but I guess the Bears may be thinking there is not much downside to waiting until after the draft to decide on Fields. Maybe the Broncos or someone comes in and offers them the moon to draft Williams. Keeping Fields allows them to at least entertain the possibility of listening to offers on trading the first pick. Even if the chances are close to zero, if the most anyone is offering is a sixth or something, then why not just play it out?
I probably wouldn't for a 4th, guys his age have a very limited history of being anywhere near as good. Not sure I'd want to move a borderline top 100 pick for a 1 year binkie for the new QB... give Mike Williams the money, more likely to give you production past this year.Old and not often available but I wouldn't have minded Pats doing that trade.
Nah. He said no pay cut. His cap number is $34m.Old and not often available but I wouldn't have minded Pats doing that trade.
For LAC it was, for his new team it is $23.1m (18.1M salay and 5M roster bonus)Nah. He said no pay cut. His cap number is $34m.
I honestly ask this... why would you want to trade a pretty good pick to pay 23M to a 32 year old WR? Do you think this team is Keenan Allen away from a SB run? He makes no sense for this teamThe Patriots are determined to never have a #1 WR
Ah. Still, he’a 32, and gonna want money to be more than a 1 year guy. I’m not dealing a 4th.For LAC it was, for his new team it is $23.1m (18.1M salay and 5M roster bonus)
Hes played at least 13 games in 6 of the last 7 seasons (10 in the other season) and IMO, is coming off the best season of his career averaging 95ypg and 7tds in 13 games.Old and not often available but I wouldn't have minded Pats doing that trade.
I was told that the Pats were an average QB away from the playoffs. Assuming they draft that guy, wouldn’t adding a guy like Allen make them a contender?I honestly ask this... why would you want to trade a pretty good pick to pay 23M to a 32 year old WR? Do you think this team is Keenan Allen away from a SB run? He makes no sense for this team
I want this next young qb to have a line and a proven wr1 to help him develop. Allen plus the 2nd and 3rd rounders on OL goes a long way. It's not about winning short term its about putting our young qb in position to succeed, something NEVER done for mac.I honestly ask this... why would you want to trade a pretty good pick to pay 23M to a 32 year old WR?

Yeah…I can’t believe anyone is acting like a 4th for Keenan Allen is anything other than greatHes played at least 13 games in 6 of the last 7 seasons (10 in the other season) and IMO, is coming off the best season of his career averaging 95ypg and 7tds in 13 games.
This is a steal for Chicago, and he now plays opposite DJ Moore, with Kmet rolling in the middle. They brought in Swift to man the backfield, added Everett as a 2nd TE, added o line help, brought in Byard at safety, Jaylon Johnson at corner...
If they hit on Caleb Williams and their #9 pick, things are going to get crazy in the Windy City. GB, CHI, Detroit....division will be fun to watch.
So you don't Mac Jones your Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels?I honestly ask this... why would you want to trade a pretty good pick to pay 23M to a 32 year old WR? Do you think this team is Keenan Allen away from a SB run? He makes no sense for this team
well the latter is just obviously untrue, as to the former... I think 1 year bandaids at WR do nothing to help a QB develop (if that QB even starts next year).I want this next young qb to have a line and a proven wr1 to help him develop. Allen plus the 2nd and 3rd rounders on OL goes a long way. It's not about winning short term its about putting our young qb in position to succeed, something NEVER done for mac.
What? You don’t think a Keenan Allen could help a QB more than a 4th round pick? Come onwell the latter is just obviously untrue, as to the former... I think 1 year bandaids at WR do nothing to help a QB develop (if that QB even starts next year).
Huh?well the latter is just obviously untrue, as to the former... I think 1 year bandaids at WR do nothing to help a QB develop (if that QB even starts next year).
Yeah, $23 million for a one year rental? The Patriots have $53 million in space. They need $10 million for the rookies and $10 to $12 million to get through the year. Allen would have been their last significant FA move. Let’s see what else they do with the money.I honestly ask this... why would you want to trade a pretty good pick to pay 23M to a 32 year old WR?

For the first year... maybe? I think he's got no real role long term and you can sign a WR. If Keenan Allen were 30 I'd be all over it, but I think people are wildly overvaluing the magic beans effect of a WR to a QB's development, the line is far more important.What? You don’t think a Keenan Allen could help a QB more than a 4th round pick? Come on
It is a fourth plus $23 million. Just for 2024. That is a hefty price tag. If this were MLB where cap doesn’t roll over, ok. But that is a lot of money for a bridge year.Yeah…I can’t believe anyone is acting like a 4th for Keenan Allen is anything other than great
The $53 million already accounts for the draft signings.Yeah, $23 million for a one year rental? The Patriots have $53 million in space.

You said Mac was NEVER put in position to succeed, that is obviously untrue. His rookie year he was given a ton of weapons a very good line an excellent OC and handheld all the way... it was trumpeted as the prototype of how to help your QB succeed... it then fell apart because the OC left, the line declined and Mac didn't improve and lacked the physical and mental traits to compete in the NFL... but Mac was very much an example of short term bandaid year 1 QB handholding. They spent a record amount on that offense.Huh?
Mac was never given a WR1 binkie like many young qbs are.
Don't use terms like "obviously " if you are making a subjective argument. You know Belichick had historically not prioritized elite wr.
The bears have a ton of cap room. That doesn’t matter to themIt is a fourth plus $23 million. Just for 2024. That is a hefty price tag. If this were MLB where cap doesn’t roll over, ok. But that is a lot of money for a bridge year.
Goddammit. He’s going to be good there. I have no idea what the WR fix is now.Marquise Brown to the chiefs.

I don’t think that is correct. At least not Miguel’s $53 million.The $53 million already accounts for the draft signings.
So do the Pats. and the biggest add thus far is….Jacoby Brissett?The bears have a ton of cap room. That doesn’t matter to them
Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell still available.OH NO ... PLAYERS WHOSE NAMES WE KNOW ARE GOING TO OTHER TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotcha, I thought earlier someone Saud that number already accounted for the draftees.I don’t think that is correct. At least not Miguel’s $53 million.
Id be happy if they did on the line but that's not happening either, unless it's Smith.For the first year... maybe? I think he's got no real role long term and you can sign a WR. If Keenan Allen were 30 I'd be all over it, but I think people are wildly overvaluing the magic beans effect of a WR to a QB's development, the line is far more important.
Or they can make a trade. Honestly I think Mike Williams would be a better fit than Allen at WR. Not sure if they'll go that route given the injury, but that makes sense.Id be happy if they did on the line but that's not happening either, unless it's Smith.
