Bears Just Caught An Unexpected Break On EDGE Market

+1
We just got OUT of cap hell. These teams are jettisoning good players because they are now IN cap hell and can't afford their players. I do like the fact that Poles is being careful to get value in FA. It's not a perfect science and mistakes will be made. But I do trust Poles to be prudent with the limited cap resources. It's no different than the household budgets we all have to live within. If you spend your money poorly then bad things happen as a direct consequence.

Us fans (me included) want all the shiny toys no matter what they cost. Poles can't spend like that though. I think that for me, personally, I'm finally getting it, that 2024 isn't going to solve all of our needs on this roster. I believe the team will take a huge step forward this 2nd year of the rebuild. But a finished rebuild really isn't going to be completed in 2 drafts and FA cycles. I need to chill and just watch how far the team DOES get this off-season and not jump off the ledge if we don't get the best ____________ (fill in the blank) in this free agency cycle or in the draft. Although we could very well end up with the best franchise quarterback in this draft. We have a legit shot at that I think.
