Packers Reportedly Planning to Pursue Nick Kwiatkoski
By Erik Lambert - February 29th, 2020

Stop if you’ve heard this one before. The Green Bay Packers are looking for defensive help this offseason and their plans involve a Bears player. In 2018 they went after Kyle Fuller before Chicago was able to reel him back in. Then last year they make a strong push to sign Adrian Amos as their new starting safety. Now here the 2020 offseason is and word has begun to leak out that the hated team up north has yet another Bears player in their sights. That being linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski.

Packers insider Aaron Nagler of CheeseheadTV has it on good authority that Green Bay views the former backup as a prime target among inside linebackers next month.

Read the article.

I mocked resigning Kwia at 3/12M but it may take more. Not sure if one more year with a little higher AAV & more guaranteed will get it done. Maybe 4/20M with 12-13M guaranteed & a 5-6M signing bonus.

This is why you have to be able to draft well. You can't keep everyone. You do need to have a constant flow of new draft talent coming in, so that you can survive having to let guys go like this. I get so frustrated when Ryan Pace deals away draft picks. Every one of those draft picks are pure gold in the hands of someone who is gifted at evaluating draft talent.

I love that Belichick model of always having comp picks to supplement his draft. Even if you miss on some (and he does) you still have additional picks to use. I'm gonna stroke out if Pace continues to deal away our draft picks (like he did to get Mitch). Keep your picks. Draft well. And then you can sustain winning here even when you lose guys to FA.

Nick k is a perfect example of a guy worth keeping, but not at the FA price he would likely cost to keep. NE would let guys like this walk and get comp picks.

I agree and disagree. Nick K is a perfect example in my mind of a guy you SHOULD keep. The market price for his services is THE MARKET PRICE, Ric. You pay it, hopefully get a small hometown discount, but you pay it and you keep him. The whole point of the draft is to find and develop players worthy of keeping around.

The Bears need to let Trevathan walk and that's not because he's no good. He's simply 4 years older and is coming off significant injury. He's the guy you need to let walk for a possible comp pick.

Nick K isn't an All-Pro, not saying that (though he would be a starter for many other teams), but he's solid and good football player who's been versatile and durable. Excellent STer, excellent run stuffer, reliable tackler, and he's pretty damn good at getting to the QB on blitzes. You could do way worse as a #2 ILB in a 3-4. Roq Smith will be playing next to him and he has the speed and range that is a weakness for Nick.

IMO the Bears would be really stupid to let him go.

Nick is a guy they should have tried to extend last year, or a guy that you never let hit FA. What others are willing to pay for something doesn't mean it's a good price, or the right price for your team.

Nick is perfectly servicable, but he's not great, but he can be replaced. Sign him last year I'd be happy, get him extended before FA this year I'd be happy, let him hit FA and have his market inflated, let him walk and draft a guy. Really should have already had someone on the team to fit that role in a perfect scenerio.

I like Nick, but like you said about Dalton, he's oatmeal. You don't pay top price for oatmeal, even if someone else is.
