Chicago Bears Rumors: Under-The-Radar NFL Trade Targets + Has Tremaine Edmunds Earned An Extension?

Chicago Bears Rumors: Under-The-Radar NFL Trade Targets + Has Tremaine Edmunds Earned An Extension?

I’m Harrison Graham. We are back with another mailbag here on Chicago Bears. Now from the Bears 85 # Bears, what’s an under the radar trade we could do that wouldn’t cost much. Good question because obviously, you know, we always uh get questions. Trey Hendrickson, Jeffrey Simmons, and listen, we we love answering those questions. The hypotheticals are fun, right? It’s a fun part of sports. But um these are some guys I think are worth monitoring. Klayas Campbell is in his late 30s. The Cardinals have lost five straight. He’s a versatile defensive lineman. Would bring some leadership experience and he’s still productive on a on a limited snap count. So, you know, would a pick swap get that done? I think he’d be someone I look at. Uh Rousul Douglas with the Dolphins. If I’m Miami, I’m getting rid of everybody that I can. Uh I don’t think it would cost more than a pick swap. Uh, you know, Tyreek Stevenson sounds like he’s avoided major injury, but I still think you could use some corner depth there. Uh, Tyreek Wilson, obviously, Bill Barnwwell had that trade idea swap. Little Braxton Jones, Tyreek Wilson. Um, you know, if you could get him for, you know, a cheap player or a pick swap or something like that, I’d be interested. Kyle Vanoi still a good pass rusher. It hasn’t been as good this year as he was the last couple years with Baltimore, but he’s making like two million bucks, so I I’d be open to that. more of a three- four guy, so you’d probably have to use him situationally. Uh then Alante Taylor, a guy Dennis Allen’s familiar with. He’s actually been pretty good this year uh for the Saints. So maybe he’d be an option if they want to bring him or another corner in to, you know, be some uh insurance for an injury or a guy like Nan Wright who’s been a little up and down. Uh notice I didn’t mention a running back. I I think right now corner and defensive line are the two spots I’d be looking at if I’m looking to bolster this team. I you know I don’t think DeAndre Swift’s the end all beall. Kyle Manungai is still a very young player obviously. Uh but if this trend continues of at least being pretty good running the football, maybe not best in the league like we’ve seen the last two weeks, uh I think you can more than get by for the rest of the season and revisit running back in the offseason if you want to upgrade then. Uh, sure if there’s an injury the next two weeks that could change things, but corner, defensive line, those are a couple of areas uh I could see the Bears making a minor move during the NFL trade deadline or before it I should say. Uh, what is the bigger need for the Bears in your opinion, cornerback or Dline? Uh, give us your thoughts in the comments below. And if there’s a player that uh you specifically would like to add, let me know who that is. Okay, a sitch lover with a $2 super play calling was mid too much roam spread it out. I don’t know if I agree with any of that to be honest. I think the play calling was fine. Um, also, if anything, it wasn’t enough room. I think he only had six targets. They misfired on a couple. He had dropped the ball. Caleb missed a couple passes. Um, yeah, I I don’t know if I agree with that. And by the way, this passing game’s been at its best when Caleb has targeted Rome more. Um, so I uh I hear you. You want everybody to eat, but if Rome’s that top guy, like let’s, you know, most weeks he should have 10 plus targets. I would say that uh Alex Todd, appreciate the five. Can we shout out how refreshingly intense but also calm Ben Johnson is? Perfect coach for Caleb to excel. Coach of the year. Yeah, I think the relationship with Ben and Caleb is is developing nicely. Obviously, the play has been inconsistent. Ben said it would be a bumpy ride, but I think I think Caleb is uh taking to the hard coaching well, but you make a good point there. He seems as a coach to balance that intensity and calmness somehow. Like it’s hard to thread that needle, right? Like there’s a lot of rahrh, loud, overly intense coaches that don’t really know how to be calm in certain moments. Ben seems to understand when to push certain buttons and that feels pretty rare as a young guy. So, I I’ve been listener. He was my top guy by a mile. He’s somehow exceeded my expectations. I think he’s been fantastic. Uh I think right now Shane Stiken’s probably coach of the year. They’re on top of the AFC. Daniel Jones has been awesome, but Ben’s probably in that tier two list of candidates with Mike Vrabel and a few other guys. So, yeah, I mean, there’s a chance uh if they somehow won this division, I think he he’d have a very strong case. Right now, I’d go with Stiken, but he’s probably top five, top six in terms of uh odds to win coach of the year. I’d say that for sure. We’re here every single day, 247, 365 content all year long.

So subscribe, turn on notifications. We do these live mailbags every Monday, Thursday, and of course we answer your questions on game day as well. Okay, Tricky, uh do you think height could be playing a role in Caleb struggle in the offense? I mean, look, he’s 61ish. Um you know, you’re gonna have some balls batted. saw a couple more the other day. So, it’s always going to play a minor role. I don’t think this is like a Kyler situation where he literally can’t see, but yeah, there’s probably certain plays where um it can be a challenge, especially that’s why they had to bolster the interior. If your interior offensive line is getting driven in your face consistently, it it’s hard to see over them if you’re a 61 or less quarterback. So, I think it’s probably a small part of it tricky, but um I think the last couple weeks he’s just been a little sped up. Like I I think before the by-week he was getting himself into a pretty good rhythm. Even when he was missing some throws, it felt like the rhythm, the base was in a better spot. I think he’s been a little sped up, especially in that New Orleans game. I also didn’t think the tackles were as good in that game uh as they were uh in prior weeks. So, um no panic here. You know, got to improve obviously. Uh but uh yeah, I would say minor small reason. I don’t think it’s a primary reason though. Okay, Bears goated. Has Tmaine earned an extension? That’s hard to say. He’s still got a year left with 18 million. I would say if the season ended today, I would keep him uh next year under that number. Uh now, could you get him on a team friendly deal? Like could could you extend him on a less per year basis than what his initial deal was? Like they extended TJ 2 for 20, which he’s been the highest graded linebacker the last two weeks in the NFL. I know PFF’s been wonky this year, but he’s been fantastic since he’s been back. Termaine’s been really good as well. He’s playing much better at that will linebacker spot. Let’s continue to see this play out. Other than the Raiders game, I think Edmonds has played pretty well this year. Uh so, uh you know, let’s see if he can keep stacking. I I like what he’s doing. I love what TJ’s doing. Um but you’ve got the benefit of having him under contract next year. You don’t have to force the issue. But, uh, I I’m happy with how he’s playing. This is what we were hoping for, uh, when they signed him. So, maybe he’s finally found a home in this scheme and in that will linebacker position where he was playing Mike before. All right, more questions to come here on this mailbag. So, continue to fire away #bears or super chat. But, do want to show some love to our sponsor, Prize Picks. You and I make decisions every day, but on Prize Pick, being right can get you paid. Don’t miss any of the excitement this season on Prize Picks, where it’s good to be right. I’ve had a really good season on price picks. The last couple lineups I’ve whiffed on, but uh you know when you go on a like eight out of nine tear and get up five six00 bucks, you got a little wiggle room. And that wiggle room started with that $50 uh $50 in lineups with code cls after you play a $5 lineup. Just saying opportunities there. Uh Price Fix is also the only app that offers stacks, meaning you can pick the same player up to three times in one lineup. Want to pick more on Caleb Williams pass yards, rush yards, and touchdowns? You can do so right now only on price fix. The way price fix works is very simple. Two or more players in a lineup up to six players. You pick more or less on their stat projections. If you hit, you win money. Uh I already got a little two-player lineup that I feel good about uh this upcoming week. Derrick Henry uh goblin play to score a touchdown. Rushing receiving. Uh I think he finds the end zone. And then Roma’s a demon play. Those are harder to hit. Uh one touchdown, more than half a touchdown. Uh he’s due two weeks in a row without a touchdown after having at least one in the first four games. I think he bounces back, finds the end zone here. $20 entry to win $55 on this two player lineup.

Prize picks. It’s good to be right. Uh okay. Uh FGO, uh thoughts on trying Ruben Hiplight at a position like corner. He’s got the speed. He cannot play corner, guys. Like just cuz you run a sub44 doesn’t mean you can run corner. That’s that’s straight line speed. There’s technique. There’s coverage skills. It’s knowing like could he like train for a couple years and be a strong safety or something? Maybe. But like you know how hard it is to play corner in the NFL? It is extremely difficult. I would say after quarterback, offensive tackle, and defensive line, it’s the hardest position in the league. Especially in man’s schemes, it’s like it’s you and no one else, bro. And all the and all the rules are against you, by the way. So, uh, no, I don’t think he could play corner. Um, is it alarming? He’s been a healthy scratch the last two weeks. Yeah, I don’t love that. But also, at the same time, your top two linebackers are playing lights out, and Noah Su, uh, who did miss this last game with a concussion, has been really good as your as your other linebacker. So, you know, we we’ll see what his future is, but I don’t think it’s at corner. Appreciate the 10, though. Also, Zayn Gray, appreciate the two. Should Jake Moody become this team’s kicker? You know, after one game, I I said that was premature after two games. It’s interesting now, right? Like, I don’t think it’s like for sure he’s the guy, but if Cairo doesn’t kick this week and Moody’s elevated, which would be his final game day elevation with the practice squad, you can do that three times. For example, Jonathan Ford, he’s out of game day elevation. So, if they want him to play again this season, they have to sign him to the 53. If Jake Moody is elevated this week and kicks well, then I think it becomes a tough decision because Kairo has been a great kicker for this team. I know people get frustrated with him because he doesn’t have the strongest leg. I do too. I I’m frustrated that you can’t try 58, 59 yarders with him, especially in end of half, end of game situations because you see it across the league. But if we’re being fair and objective, when Cairo is in range, he’s been very steady. He’s not a perfect kicker. Sometimes he kicks the ball low, but he’s very accurate. And when he’s in range, he’s been very steady. He’s been, you know, high 80s in percentage. That’s well above average. Like, we’ve seen much force here, right? You know, it’s uh we we remember Cody Parky. So, um I’m not 100% there yet, but if you told me he kicked on Sunday, you know, went three for three or something like that, hit a long range kick. So, that’s one thing we haven’t seen one of those 58 60 yarders. No kick Jake Moody has made yet is a kick Tyro camp makes. I do think that’s worth mentioning, but at the same time, what if you kind of just I don’t want to say lucked, but kind of lucked into your long-term answer here. That that’s something to consider, too, because Kairo’s in his, you know, early mid-30s. I think he’s 33 34. So, it could be a tough call depending on what happens this week. So, this is a big week if Jake Moody kicks. Uh, listen, if you’re Jake Moody, all you can do is make it a tough decision on the Bears. So, uh, we’ll see what happens. Uh, if he kicks this week and kicks well, I think it’s going to be a big story line. All right. Will the Bears make a trade? Trade deadline coming up. Curious what you guys think. Type Y for yes, or you can type in for no. Will the Bears make a trade? All right, Kittis, in your opinion, who has been the best player acquisition that pulls made in the offseason? This offseason, Joe Tuni, I I I He’s just so steady, man. He is not giving up I don’t think he’s giving up a pressure. He definitely hasn’t given up a sack. Uh he is actually I think he’s maybe given up a couple pressures, but no sacks and no penalties. And this is a highly penalized team and he does not have one. Um he’s just like a stabilizer to me. Like regardless of how he plays, which he’s been very good, but he’s just a stabilizer. I think you could argue it’s been the best acquisition of the Poles era. You needed a veteran uh that’s been there and done that. He’s won a lot. Oh, and by the way, he’s a damn good player. Like it that was such a home run move. Fourth round pick. I get he’s 32, but like if you get two uh three even two good years out of this guy, uh I I just think right place, right time, uh great move and you extended him for 17 and a half a year. Like that’s for what he provides that that’s kind of a bargain. So um yeah, I I think he’s easily the best move they made this offseason from a player acquisition standpoint. Uh DC Viper, do the Bears need to consider benching Theo? Look, I’d say one good good game, one bad game. I I did not think he was good against Washington in real time. Uh some of the uh grades that have come out again, PFF’s been wonky this year, but um you know, other people have analyzed it as well uh that study this stuff did not have a great game. Ben pointed out two bad penalties. Um wasn’t as sharp in run blocking. And that’s the thing with Theo, like the one thing that was clear and obvious uh in that Washington game is like, okay, if nothing else, this guy’s a major upgrade in the run game than what we’ve seen from Braxton Jones this year. Uh he doesn’t have the longest arm, so there’s going to be some pass pro limitations. Um you know, I I I think it’s still probably an upgrade over Braxton Jones. My guess is we get to the off season and there’s a question mark about left tackle. That that would be my guess. Um, I think you’re just hoping Theo can be adequate, get you through this season. Uh, and then that’s probably a position to look into next off seasonason. Maybe Aussie can make the transition to the left side next year with the full off season. Um, maybe they flip Darnell right and Aussiey’s the right tackle. I don’t know. But, uh, for now, I think he’s what you got. But, I think it’s probably week to week. I mean, he goes out there and has a dud. Who knows? like I I don’t think Ben doesn’t strike me as a guy who’s not willing to change it up if if necessary. Again, one good game, one bad game. Let’s see what he does this week against the Ravens. All right, appreciate all the questions. A lot of good ones today. Uh you guys are crushing it. Uh follow me on social media. DMs are open NFL, Twitter, and Instagram. Still got to catch up on DMs after the win over the Saints. So, I will be sure to do that. And if you have any other questions, ask me over there. Again, it’s h NFL. Bear down.
