As a Bears fan, I’m not too keen on this move. Feel like they could have got a little better pick probably.

Problem is everyone saw the writing on the wall. Bears made it well known they wanted to move on, so it undercuts the value bc teams think they can just wait until they sign as FA so everyone says no until one team says yes and then everyone goes “oh well shite we would’ve given more than that”


It’s an underrated form of FA that good teams tend to use. You can get a great bargain by throwing away a late round pick that only has a small chance of cracking your roster anyway
