So apparently the falcons was ready to give them a pick and a extension in place. Also Sweat wanted to go to Atlanta because he had family there. It seems like Sweat will play a half a year for bears and go to falcons at end of season. Thoughts?
Why are people bending over backwards to make up scenarios then get extremely mad about their made up scenarios? It feels like people are upset that Poles didn’t trade JJ and they’re now looking for other reasons to call for his head.
He is not going to leave. The Bears will just franchise tag him, if he doesn’t extend. And they can franchise tag him again the year after
Won’t happen. Worst case, the bears place the franchise tag on him. Best case, he signs the extension with us. Let’s use our brains on this guys.
Paying Sweat top 5 DE money for one year while trying to rebuild around a young QB is a pretty bad outcome.
Thoughts on a completely speculative theory you’ve made up? No, I have none.
Well, disregarding my feelings on the trade (I said I didn’t want it before it happened and I don’t like it any more now), we have a franchise tag available so he can’t go anywhere if we don’t let him
Bears have the cap space and can tag him, he will get extended here
I’m pretty sure Montez is going to play 1 quarter and then retire to pursue his life-long passion of pogs. I’m already subscribed to the podcast, Slammin’ with Montez Sweat. Ryan Poles is going to be the first guest
We can franchise tag him
Poles just needs to sign him to a new deal, that’s it.
Aww that’s so cute. Except dude is going to sign a FAT ASS extension here and that’s really his only choice. Unless he wants to forgo probably 70 Mil guaranteed and risk injury/Down year. Which like most people don’t, and I would like to ASSUME Poles traded for dude with the intent to get aggressive in negotiations
