He needs to. He was unavailable for much of his Franchise contract year due to injury and suspension. I think Biggs hit the proverbial nail on the head when he quoted a NFL insider saying “Talent doesn’t matter if a guy can’t stay on the field." The dude currently isn't worth DT or DB money and Pace needs to show some balls in dealing with him. He should get a big contract but not top tier money until he can stay on the field consistently and that's a big if. He is an injury liability. I like the guy a lot - want him to be a Bear but he needs to stay on the frigging field. If Pace had a contract offer of a multiple year deal in the $12 million to $13 million dollar range (with modest guaranteed money), I am glad he stuck to his guns.
). But you have to be available the whole season. You can't expect to be paid for the whole season when teams don;t think you will be there for the whole season. I think he would have gotten his payday last year after only season of being injured. With two in a row, teams are more reluctant to pay for a whole season. Honestly, I thought someone would step up and do it anyway, but it appears like that may not happen.
