Time to trade for a RB, but who?

[darthseinfeld]

Well part of the point is they would be looking for a CB.

Randle, Claiborne and a 4th for Mason and a 5th

How does that work

 

[darthseinfeld]

I can dig that!



Just get the Bears to take some part of that $7 million if you can.

Dont think they would

You're likely right. I'm not sure of the particulars of a situation like that, where you would rework a player's deal prior to a trade and the current team would assume a percentage of money due to the player. I think the Bears would be able to improve the draft pick compensation if they could of would do that.

Forte at $4 million this year is more valuable to me than Forte at $7 million.

Forte is 30 years old and is about to become a free agent and probably won't be re-signed. If the Bears start off 0-3 im sure they will be looking to get something for him while they still can.

If they were looking to get something for him it already started in January.

I dont see a team trading their starting RB at this point in the season and the only back up RB who is worth giving up a draft pick for is Kniles Davis from KC in my opinion.

Other then him, Dallas would be better off signing Pierre Thomas, CJ2k or Ray Rice.

Pierre Thomas would be a solid pick up. He's not great but I would be able to trust him over the rest of our RB's.

So this would be a one year and done deal.

One and Done, and next year's Draft is Fun.

40 mill vs 7 mil is not the same amount, Cas

We would have fallen all overselves if Murray said he'd take a one year deal.

$7M is close to $8M in one year. It's all about year-to-year cap numbers, not overall.

We would have fallen all over ourselves if Murray would take a one year deal for no more than $6M, and hopefully for only $4M.

Our issue with Murray was future decline, so Ibeg to differ.
It was not about one year.
Hey, jmo.

Just stepping in here and respectfully disagreeing.
I know way too many Bears fans. They know it's an uphill climb--especially in that division--but they do have hope, for now.

Btw, even for the ones that don't believe, recall how many (here and everywhere) gave Dallas zero chance last year? Lots of 5-11 predictions from what I recall.

Back on the subject....given Forte's expiring contract. Yes, if our FO gave up on Randle being starter quality, it might be a match.

Fair enough
