Because if it were handled badly, it might put other players off coming here - not UDFAs looking for *any* chance in the league, but guys with some freedom of choice maybe.

don't think J.Taylor or Collins or Andy Lee turning into Colquit & a 4th got freedom of choice, but I like the way this FO is turning PICKS into TRADES on guys we would normally never get a sniff at..we do save some cap on cutting RG3 in 2017 & McC is not on Hues Xmas List in future, ssoooo a pending pre or draft trade on a QB may not be out of their Harvard House Cleaning if Hue's on board with it also..

I worry about Hues QB assessments....as a HC he has drfted and signed Pryor, RGIII and Kessler....youch

Gotta throw Hogan in too.

all i know is that this is a divisive a topic as the country is divisive on every topic right now. some see positives with this FO even with this debacle of a season (?) and some are realists, like me.

all i know is if i hear foundation players after next year's draft i'm gonna............. do nothin really. just be pissed like i am now.

So if "all of em, actually" use IR, why didn't the Bears?

@mudfly said:
because they needed a CB now and he needed surgery?

Can I play, too?

I see a legitimate and sizable difference between:

IR'ing a rostered player, one in whom you have made a financial investment, who requires surgery; and
signing a player knowing he will go straight to your IR.

The former follows thru on an on-going commitment. The latter takes on a burden.

Still, if he was this great talent, it would have been worth it. I mean, if JJ Watt gets cut and we get him off waivers, I'm pretty much positive no one would be too bothered that he has to go straight to IR.

Mud, I think the lack of good theories indicates to us there was more to the story, so we should let the FO be. As you pointed out, K'Waun was a perfect player for us. That tells me that this FO wouldn't let him go without a good reason.

Tour2ma

That's your rebuttal? JJ Watt?

wargograw

Obviously an extreme example. My point is that I (and Mud probably) believe K'Waun, when healthy, is a pretty supreme talent. Most teams would like to have him. So the fact that Chicago didn't put him on IR so they could keep him in their organization tells me there's something else in the works other than what's on the surface. Don't know what it is.

flyingfooldoug

He played CB well enough to start a tough position in the NFL. Now the Bears have a pretty good CB going into next year for cheap. They probably feel lucky. At least we could replace him with that other guy

I don't agree with that.

Our cornerback coverage has been better this year than last.

Safeties have been far worse, even with improvement as year has gone on.

Statistically K-wan had 2 passes defended, 0 ints, 30 tackles 8 assist last year

Brien Boddy Calhoun has 9 passes defended, 2 ints, 30 tackles and three assists.

Our starters, Haden and Taylor have 9 and 10 passes defensed.

Who was he better than, our fourth corner Williams? Not really.

He's one guy we don't miss. Good find with Calhoun.
