Dude, you can absolutely be optimistic about the trade (I personally am not). But to call it a “major steal” is maybe the wildest thing I’ve seen on here today.
Yea we’re giving up a pick around #35th overall for him, not a steal at all. That’s a high price to pay.
Not a steal, but for a guy who is first round talent at a premium position and this allows us to focus our other two first round picks on two other premium positions, I think the Bears did pretty well.
Who else can we get that’s of his calibre at pick #35?
We could have drafted someone at #35 and also signed a DE in the offseason. We didn’t have to give up the pick.
It was too high of a price to pay. SF gave up a pick around #70 to get Young. That’s good value. #35 is an overpay for a player like Sweat who is very good but not elite.
I don’t think it’s that crazy. I do agree that it’s not a steal, but a 1st round edge rusher in his prime for a 2nd seems pretty good. That’s a premiere position. Young got a 3rd, and he’s injury-prone.
Classic lol trades high 2nd round pick for good (not elite) player “OMG MAJOR STEAL.” This fanbase lives in an alternate reality
This trade is only good if there’s an extension in place…which it seems like there isn’t.
This sub constantly is rightly whining about the D line and, if Poles didn’t get Sweat another team would have and he wouldn’t have gotten to free agency.
Couple that with there are no free agents at his level nor big edge rushers in the draft and the concern is, a year from now it would be difficult to find real improvement on the D line.
Of course this is about signing Sweat but they’ll be able to get it done and it’s the right move to bring him in.
The only issue is will we sign him at market value
Giving up a 2nd round pick and having to pay him a huge extension isn’t a steal lol.
Not every trade needs to be a steal. It can benefit both teams.
The issue isn’t “Is Sweat good” He is very good to great.
The issue is, he is meaningless for us this year (and may even harm our draft pick) and now his agent has us by the balls to sign him for whatever he wants.
Okay and now what available DE will be signable in upcoming FA/Draft that are better than him?
