No, Aaron Lemming did a breakdown of it on Twitter. He figures the Bears have $44 mill in effective space before accounting for the other signings. Once including those signings based on whats been reported and figuring the contracts being replaced on the TOP 51, the Bears have $34 mill in effective space. He says the Bears can spend about $10 to $12 mill more prior to September. He also notes that there are several ways for them to create more space this off season, plus the $90+ mill in cap space they'll have next year.
All is fine and great, but I really would like to get Chase Young in. THen im happy.
Wouldn’t that be something…. I’d have to find another perennial loser to cheer for
That’s because I KNOW what Mahomes can do. He’s already won Super Bowls. Williams hasn’t played one game yet. The data from motm says there is a 30% failure rate for QBs drafted #1. I believe my odds of having a Super Bowl ready offense with Fields, Harrison, Moore, Allen plus a good center and competent offensive coordinator is better than that.
You are talking QB>WR draft as a general principle, and I am talking about a concrete set of players and a concrete Super Bowl ready 2025 timeline.
And MHJ hasn't played one game yet either. So its a direct apples-to-apples comparison.
It's beyond the point of absurdity how some portions of the Bears fanbase vastly overvalues and overestimates Justin Fields. It's practically a religious obsession with some of you guys. No amount of objective data or empirical evidence from an actual NFL marketplace seems to matter. Let's be honest -- it's become a flat-earth cult. Believe whatever you want to believe until April 25th when you'll finally discover that the mothership isn't coming after all.
I have withdrawn from the Fields debate. It is a fact that QB is the most unpredictable position to project. Motm posted the data on this awhile ago. To me, it is almost unimaginable that Harrison will not be a super star, unless he is injured. No way to say that about Williams. I am 70% on Williams and 99% on Harrison.

I don't care if MHJ is going to be a superstar. What team has been turned around simply by adding a receiver? Especially one with a questionable QB? The only one I can think of off-hand is Tyreek Hill, and that's only kind of. And who ended up being better off in that transfer? The team with the better QB or the better WR? There is still real questions about Tua even after they got Hill. Meanwhile Mahomes just won another SB without his star WR.
The guy throwing to the WR is simply more important than the WR. I don't care if he's a 100% guaranteed HOF. I'm still going with the guy most likely to help the overall team.

Again, you are wrong. What motm provided showed that WR! are the most unpredictable 1st round picks. QB are second. Harrison is a WR.

I’m close to where you are. About 50% on Williams and 90% on Harrison
