Personnel sidebar: DeAndre Swift, OL attributes, WR3/4/5, CB2, TEs Archived Message
Posted by Carl Spackler on January 21, 2025, 8:18:58, in reply to "New thread for Bears (likely) final week of the coaching search (+poll)"
-Lions traded away DeAndre Swift with Johnson as OC. Basically no salary relief this year if you cut him. Have to think they'll bring in another back to compete with him. Super deep RB class in the draft and I think the Bears chances of taking Jeanty at 10 definitely go up. -Sounds like maybe a different profile of OL going forward (VIV HELP)? Would be fantastic if Johnson can convince Zeitler to come over from Detroit. -Saw some probably unsourced rumblings that Bears are now less interested in Allen because BJ will want to improve the team speed. Makes a lot of sense. Looking at FA lists, I could totally see the Bears takin a flier on a Mecole Hardman type on the cheap for one of these spots. -CB2: Does a Dennis Allen hire bring a Will Johnson into the picture at 10? Stevenson seems much more like a cover 2 corner than one that will mix defenses. TE: Saw a lot of chatter that the Bears will bring in some more run blocking TEs and have Cole be the primary receiving TE.  Previous Message Have to imagine we wrap this up in the next week unless Joe Brady is the guy.
