Butkus, why Glennon? Will be overpaid and won't be our future. Wouldn't it be fun to sign Jones and Poe to get your front7 finished before the draft starts?
Jones is most likely going to get franchised, and if he doesn't he will cost a ridiculous amount of money. We're talking Justin Houston/Von Miller type money. You're not signing him and enough other guys in my opinion. So while I really like Jones a lot...I just don't see him as feasible.
As for Glennon...he's better than anything we have on this roster right now, and I'd bring him in to compete with whoever we draft, especially if, as you suggest we do, draft a QB in rounds 2 or later. So no...in your scenario Glennon would be appropriately paid, and has a high chance of being the future. In my scenario the same can be said, but the likelihood of him being the future isn't as high. Either way, I wouldn't over pay for him, but I would most certainly inquire and see what he's looking for.
I don't get the love with Glennon. What has he done that makes everyone think he's so good or even better than Cutler or Hoyer. The guy has barely played four years and lost the starting job to McCown early in his career. He's just another guy in my opinion.
Thats what ESPN is projecting him to earn, that's not what "he is demanding". It's what he may "command" on the market. Either way, if a guy like Fitz got 12, Glennon will get around 13...because ya know..."upside" LOL
I know a lot of people want the Bears to get Berry but it's going to require paying him the highest safety salary in NFL history. Is he going to produce at that level for the amount of years the Bears need him to? Tough to know how much a player is worth.
I rather overpay for a:
5 time Pro Bowler 3 time All Pro
vs an average at best WR who only has 1 pro bowl...
I'm curious how you feel about DeAndre Hopkins, Allen Robinson, Kelvin Benjamin and Brandon Marshall? They are all considered really good WRs yet they all had bad years. Was it because they aren't as good as people think or was it due to being on poor offensive teams with bad QB play?
Let's not make this a thread about AJ please. There are 49 other FAs on that list we could be talking about many who would make the Bears a much better team.

That's still way too much for him while we can just Keep Hoyer...
