Brad Biggs talks Bears’ need for ‘a menacing defensive front,’ who could be a salary cap casualty

1. Morning boys what’s goin ahn

2. I don’t know why people are treating the Super Bowl as some big “revelation” about the importance of the DL, especially the interior. When, in the history of football, has it NOT been true?

   It’s why it’s so frustrating with Poles and his lack of focus on it. Hell, he ignored the offensive interior line up until Ben was hired – he almost got Caleb killed his rookie year.

   Interior DL HAS to be the number 1 priority this off-season. There are no impact free agents, and no available trades (turns out teams don’t like to trade high end interior DT’s), so Chicago MUST use two of the first three picks to solve this problem. Pick 25 has to be the best 3T or NT on the board, and then get the next 3T/1T in the second – whichever you didn’t select first.

   There are quite a few really good prospects in this draft, but the drop off after the early rounds is significant.

   The top need is NOT LT, it’s not edge, it’s not safety. Fix the middle, Poles!

3. Media needs to chill on the idea of "aggresively" and "going all in". That's a recipe for disaster. Poles should NOT kick the can down the road with all these restructure arguments. The big get this offseason will be an extension for our OT Darnell Wright which might cost 18-20M per year on a 4 or 5 year deal. T. Edmunds is definitely gone as a cut. I would listen on both DJ and Cole for a trade, but we don't need to trade either guy. We cannot pay Crosby, so any discussion like that is just fluff trying to get fan attention. Next season we will need cap space for Caleb Williams. You don't overspend this year. YOU JUST DONT.

4. We need a win long term plan. Packers are always there and tough because they don’t overspend and build through the draft. Yes I understand windows open and close quickly but we are not one player away. We have an entire D line to rebuild. The entire safety area to rebuild and still need an edge plus corner depth. Stick to the long term plan and now that we are a desirable destination don’t overpay mid skill players like Jarret.

5. I will keep pounding the table for Lee Hunter.

6. BIGSY! Dudes gotta chill with that

7. THESE SAME GUYS have been saying alllllllllll year ' bears arent 1-2 players away from a sb' literally nothing changed except the won games YOU thought they couldnt.. chicago media is THE WORST

8. Actually not much going on

9. Dayo was playing great?🤔 I didn't see it!

10. Would cut Edmounds only if you have someone to replace him.

11. Mornin boys whats goin ahn?

12. Hopefully the Bears don't just sit on their loins now that they have a quarterback

13. People need to calm down on the Crosby stuff. He's going to cost way more than he's worth. The Bears also have a lot more places to improve on the defense and guys that are out of contract. Then there's the issue at LT as well. I'd consider bringing in Hendrickson, if anything, because he won't cost you draft capital. Booker seems to be developing nicely and Sweat is Sweat. They really need improvement at DT and LB as well.

14. It's DANGEROUS listening to Briggs while driving. Tatata-today jr!!!

15. This is why you are not a coach

16. 12:05 Packers thought the same thing in 2011
    How’d that work out for em?

17. First he doesn't even pronounce Dayo's name correctly, then he says he was playing great… Is he drunk?

18. Whomever thought Ayo and Garrett was an answer to anything, and deserved the contracts..I demand answers and a apology.

19. The Bears are not in win now mode. To me win now means that if the team doesn't win, it's time to blow the team up. That's not where the team is, so keep the draft capital.

20. Too many good defensive players in the draft to be giving up picks

21. no no no dont give up draft number one picks

22. make a move for trayvon walker and de von achane

23. Dayo is a waste of a roster spot

24. I used to do a rinky dink podcast with a couple friends and we had less than 100 listeners and made no money, and even we knew to mute our mics when someone else was talking.

25. We need cut ties with all players we are over paying , get new players and We need get Trey Henderson,

26. What exactly does Brad Biggs know? Does he add anything that the average Joe doesn't already know 🤣

27. Sign Walker

28. Somebody please put Mully to pasture

29. Bears need a monster DT more than they need an edge.

    Fight me.

30. DO NOT mortgage the future for 1 player. I would like to think BJ would like to build thru the draft

31. We don't need Crosby. We can draft a rally good edge to go opposite Montez.. And we need a beast DT for the interior. If we can get to the QB better the back end is good to go. We might not be able to keep them all. Brisker and or Byard might be gone. But we have enough to be good on that.

32. We need some health, some guys to earn the contracts we have issued already, and a solid draft. There's ni reason to mortgage the future with bad cap issues.
