Welp cutlers gone. Mike Glennon new QB1 for da bears. Don't know much about him as he hasn't played much, so we shall see 3 year deal with basically 1 year guarantee. Sounds like he is the bridge to whoever they draft at QB. Also still have Connor shaw to evaluate more. Added Safety Demps from houston ,which should help as bears are weak there. Now need to add CB's.

As usual packers don't sound like they are doing much in FA?

I don't know much about Glennon but knew Pace was interested...Cutler release had to happen zero trade options for him.. I also think Glennon is a bridge QB to my hope Maholmes in round 3 or so maybe later but Pace will draft a QB this year. Hoyer is gone so I researched Shaw and he wasn't drafted so another long shot QB. None of the 2017 draft QBs are starters more of a draft late and hope they are coachable to start in a year or 2. There is always 1 QB that is pretty good but which one this year all have warts? Ashton talking to a few clubs Pace should sign him only #1 WR the Bears have or will have to go back to the draft again. The Bears developed Ashton now need to pay him or in trouble at WR again... White a 2 year bust so far and Glennon needs someone to throw too. I do like Zay Jones but not in first round round 2 for sure if Ashton gone. Pace wont chase free agents so that is good and bad ...ok if he can draft well and he has but the Bears need help asap and draft is too slow for a town like Chicago. Fox and Pace need to start winning in 2017 or both will be looking for jobs.

Ive heard about mahones. Doesn't sound like a bad pick. Looks to me like pace is mimicking the seahawks of a few years ago. Sign matt Flynn(Mike Glennon) and draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd in Wilson(mahones or someone else) and draft a top tier pass rusher in bruce Irvin(Jonathon allen) with 3rd pick. then hopefully pink off a few other draft choices into quality players.


They have a lot of money to spend if need be, id bet alshon stays put. but he wants Julio/Antonio brown money, if that's the case got to let him walk. he is great when he plays just doesn't play enough to warrant top 5 WR money.

Brown's traded for Osweiler. OMG. He's making 16 mill a year for the Browns. They are so stupid. They should have no problem developing Osweiler cuzz you know they're track record of great QB development.

Just more fuel to the fire that 2017 draft QBs all have warts and Browns need a QB. Door wide open for Romo with Houston now although I was hoping Denver would get him but warm weather team better for Romo. WOW... FA moving fast this year only day 1 for contracts!!!

From what I understand, the #Browns are weighing simply releasing Brock Osweiler after trading for him. NBA style

They got a 2nd round pick also...actually not a bad move..

None of it makes any difference whatsoever. New England will win the Superbowl for the next ten years.

Browns loaded with draft choices and cap space lots they can do... talking about trading Osweiler but we saw overpriced qbs go no where with Cutler... can Osweiler be different? I think Cleveland keeps him at least 1 year see what he can do. Osweiler better than any other QB they have now. Browns want Jimmy Garoppolo from Pats and Osweiler plus draft choices and some coin could make that happen and put a big smile on BB's face. Some interesting stuff...

Jefferies to the Eagles...

Prolly the best player the Bears lost to FA...Wentz has to like getting Jefferies maybe why Ashton left a QB that can throw to him and knowing Chicago is a mess at QB.

his 16 mill this year is guaranteed....no matter if he gets cut or plays,, and the Browns are in for all of it.
lot of money to play a guy that totally blows..

Yeah Hyde not worth 6 MIL/yr. and 14.5 MIL guaranteed. He's just a serviceable player, and we need difference makers - upper tier cover guys, or guys that get to the QB. I liked Hyde as a backup for 1 MIL.
The fact they "let him walk" without an offer tells all you need to know. They in no way valued him at what the market would pay - and they are totally right. He's a good player, but not consistent, and slow. He had trouble with TE's.

Yea that's true, but they have over 100mil in cap space and essentially are paying the money for draft picks. And if they find a trade partner even better yet.

Seemed to me he was one of the packers better DB's that was also versatile. the pack have cap room and usually like to keep 'their' guys so was kinda surprised to see him walk. He mentioned the packers never even made him an offer.

Just have to wait this deal out see what evolves for the Browns... I'm sure they are talking with the Pats and have a bunch of draft choices to offer for Jimmy G. If Jimmy G is leaving the Pats it will have to happen at latest round 1 in the draft. BB does not make dumb trades.

You'd only give 1 million for Hyde??? This isn't 1975, Punters make more than 1 million. Say what you want about him, he had better stats than any of our awful DB's and he didn't even start.

More pick, more TD's,,, his versatility in going to be sorely missed. The Packers has bizillions of dollars rolling in spend some of it TT!

yup sounds like the Browns just bought a 2nd round draft pick for 16 mill.
there can't be a GM stupid enough to trade for him,,,,,can't be no way...

Well don't question me, point your ? at TT, he didn't even offer something > $0. Makes a great play one game, and disappears for 3-4, and you see him trailing a fat TE down the middle.
Hydes an OK player, roster filler, the type you sign for a bit above league minimum, after he "fails out" of this contract in 1.5-2 years. No huge loss.

Timo got to remember Browns have tons of money to trade Osweiler and pay for part of his salary to unload him & Houston already chipped in $$. To me it depends on what Cleveland wants from a trading partner and Osweiler could be a throw in with money and draft picks. Jimmy G is the prize Cleveland wants and willing to make a fat deal for him. BB could sweat the Browns out trade Jimmy G for a bunch of draft picks and money & take Osweiler as a back up QB. Jimmy Gs value drops way down after round 2 of the 2017 draft and becomes trade bait for an injured starting QB much like Bradford last year. Interesting stuff....
