Again I have nothing against Cam, I want/wanteded him back(until the 6mil # popped up), and you are right, other teams are showing interest b/c he is has good upside. But I don't think the Bears were expecting this kind of interest and weren't planning on paying another wr 6+ mil; if they were they wouldn't have went after Gabriel for that price. I think the tender was meant to temper the offers but it hasn't, the lack of WR talent in FA; and how hard the Bears went on day one seems to have encouraged teams to go after Cam.
I think there are a lot of really good WR's in this draft, I think if you've done the mocks and have researched the names you'll know who they are. For a guy that will be the 5th option I think it makes more sense to get a guy in the 2nd-4th rounds.
Yep, and the thing is, and the Bears really aren't there now but they are getting there, you have to be willing to let some of your own walk when other teams over pursueyour guys. Like w/C Jones; I hated losing him, but Det gave him a good offer, Sitton got a good offer, and it sounds like Meredith might get a better offer then either of them.
If that happens(and Cam could still come back) then ya you have to look to the draft to not just replace them now, but hopefully replace expensive vets at the end of their contracts(Robinson etc).
