The low guaranteed amount probably made the pill easier to swallow for Chicago.

Quite a contract we offered. That would have left us with no cap space. Would have been followed with another cut I assume.

14 mil a year? I don't know if i'm disappointed the Bears matched or relieved. A little of both I guess.

Remember when the bikes stole John Sullivan from the Seahawks by signing him to an offer sheet that fully guaranteed his contract if he played more than 2 games in the state of Washington in 1 season, thus guaranteeing the birds couldn't match it? Did the new cba kill that? Or could we have just done the same thing to chicago?

The problem for the Hawks was that they had a star LT earning more than Hutchinson.

Also poison pills have since become illegal to use in the NFL.

I wonder if it is possible that BG, having a good idea of Kyle Fullers value to the Bears, deliberately bid on him to cost the Bears in cap money. Not that GB would not have benefited from his services, but gambled that Chicago would pay dearly to retain him.

A bold strategy, but BG would have followed through and GB would still have Fuller. [biggrin]

My thoughts exactly. Fair weather fans are making a big deal out of Gutekunst doing "nothing," but if anything, it shows that he really is looking under every stone. For all we know some random trade will happen with one of the 12 picks we have.

Fuller should repay us by “allowing” a few TD passes against him next season!😂

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
