kam chancellor?

[patryk7754]

He's been sitting out for a new contract and it seems as if he's ready to miss regular season games. The Seahawks have been stocking up on Safeties due to Kam sitting out. If he does end up missing games and the Hawks continue to refuse to give him a new contract there's no point of him being on the roster. The Giants have apparently called the Seahawks about Chancellor so why not us too? He fills a need and we could probably get him for a 2nd

What kind of contract is he looking for and do we have that kind of flexibility?

I'm sure he wants to be paid one of the highest paid safeties in the NFL, which would be around 8mil, I believe. If by flexibility you mean can we afford him, I'm sure we can and if not we can just cut one of our overpaid bums

We shold be one of the teams with the most cap space after this season. If we don't have enough for the contract he wants right now then we can see if the Seahawks will take Young in the deal since we were shopping him. They might even take Allen instead for just the one year.

Allen or Young and a 3rd could do it I think.

If that works then Amos can take his rookie year to learn and possibly replace Rolle next year or later this year. Amos and Chancellor would be a perfect fit next to each other if Amos reaches his potential

The season is a throwaway. A move like this would have to be finishing touch for all the marbles, and the Bears aren't there. I say maintain flexibility until a basic team is built

If we have the opportunity, I don't see why we wouldn't trade for him even if it is a throwaway. We trade for him this year and it helps us attract guys next year.

We pass on him now and in a couple years we'll be saying we're a cam kam chancellor away from contending.

When Bears are ready to contend in two-three years how old will he be? If bears can get him for a second, I would rather the cheap 2nd round draft salary and younger talent. I doubt young or Allen will be a part of this deal.

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for the worst regarding Kam Chancellor's holdout, but they're ready to move on without the disgruntled Pro Bowl safety, members of the team told ESPN on Tuesday.

"I don't think we're going to have him at all this season," a player told ESPN. "They will just collect his salary until he folds."

Agreed- the Beard are in rebuild mode. Cam will be 30 by the time the Bears have much chance of being a contender. Start filling the team with youth and high draft picks the next three years.

They need to think about trading vets, not adding them.

Forte - will turn 30 on Dec 10.
Bennett is 28
Cutler- 32
Jared Allen is 33
Ratliff is 34

Should be looking to trade any and all of these players.

I think the Bears will play hard to start the season, but look for some of the vets to lose focus as they continue to lose. All these players have some trade value- with the possible exception of Cutler.

This has to be the fastest anyone has ever been banned.
