A Jordan Love Contract

[OldSchool101]

Jordan is back practicing. It’s in another thread but this deserves multiple threads!

You can have them if you’re willing to overpay like I am right now

Reminds me of the Packers letting Mark Wahle and Marco Rivera go in 2004 because they were good lineman, but too expensive.

That punter has had more positive effect on our team than just about every player on offense so…. I still love the pick, but hind sight is 20/20 and if trade them all for a center.
If Bahktiari can limp thru a physical I’d give him a shot.

Anyone know where Bahktiari is? Did he find a team?

I think you can get a player you really want by overpaying in FA. Once the season has started, especially in the first two weeks, overpaying in either $$$ or draft picks is just not gonna work. No one will be willing to deal. And even if it were possible, it wouldn't be a good idea to give up limited draft capital in a trade. Those almost always favor the team getting the picks.

So be patient Caleb. The Bears thought pretty highly of the OL to start the season. They've started slow. I'm no Bear fan, but I just don't see a need to panic now. Once Williams learns how to play the game at this level, he has a lot of weapons. And considering the high failure rate for QBs who go straight from college to starting (CJ Stroud aside), it's just gonna take time for Williams to acclimate. Yeah his numbers aren't great after two games, but it looks to me like he's a smart guy who will adjust.

I just hope he doesn't adjust too well.

He is not presently playing for anyone.

Thanks Ty. Yeah pretty much what I expected, or we would have read about it.

Really a shame what happened to him. I know a lot of people are pissed because he had just signed a massive contract, but that knee was/is truly cursed, and he certainly didn't choose to tear his ACL. Some of the best years of his career were lost to that injury and subsequent injuries, surgeries - rinse and repeat. And it is all but certain his playing days are over. And he had the best people working on that knee. Just a bummer all the way around.

I guarantee you though that man if Rasheed went down and GB called, would come and if he could pass physical, and swelling wouldn't get him - he 100% would be one of our best lineman in games still....

Seems pretty cut and dried to me.
