Bad news: Ryan Pace will have a projected $80 million in salary-cap space to spend in free agency. What could go wrong? Cough cough Mike Glennon and Antrel Rolle and Alan Ball and many others cough cough. Brad Biggs writes that the GM needs to wade cautiously into free-agent waters, while Steve Rosenbloom opines that the Bears should steer clear of anyone older than 25 (omg we're so old). Part of that $80M will likely go toward a backup QB for (the former backup) QB Mitch Trubisky: "We're really mindful of who we pair in that room," Pace said. Now, what about someone to catch the ball thrown by Trubisky? Chiefs' Albert Wilson knows new coach Matt Nagy. Sold! Good enough for us. |
