Quinn & E Jax had such unproductive seasons in the stats dept that they couldn't possibly be as unproductive in 2022 with a new DC. I agree on ARob. The Bears WR corpse almost requires them to keep Arob even if it means franchising him. The Bears almost certainly start the year w/Foles starting and hopefully have a young QB behind him. Either QB needs someone to throw the ball to and the Bears cupboard certainly looks bare behind Mooney (who at 170 lbs plays at 10 lbs under Johnny Knox playing weight). The development of Miller and Ridley has not been as hoped. Plus Miller & Wims are knuckleheads. Hicks that is a tough one. With Pace and Nagy facing a do or die season it would only make sense that Pace will push all the chips in on the 2021 season.
Agree on Quinn & EJax -- hoping for a bouce-back year after Pagano is replaced
WR "corpse" LOL.....Freudian mis-spelling? Fitting because is. Can't see how Robinson avoids the tag. They can't go into next year with just Mooney (I consider Miller a fail at this point and unlikely to be here past 2021). Wims should be cut for sure.
You're last point about Hicks is exactly what I've been fearing. Keeping Nagy and Pace "one more year" incentivizes them to make penny-wise, pound-foolish short term decision to save their own asses.
I figure that is exactly what will happen. It could harm the team longer-term. But they will both probably be long-gone from the Bears organization. It will be up to the next GM/HC to try to recover from it all. What a mess.

Dont worry JABF, Ryan would never do that. Never ever. He cherishes our 1st rd picks.
