New regime in Chicago is getting younger and building around their young QB.
The Mack trade freed up around 24 million (I think) and around 84 million over the next 3 years of his contract with the Bears.
The Bears get a second rounder, which I think is 48 this draft.
They now have around 29 million in Cap space to reset and rebuild.
The old GM/HC were a cluster and I think these new guys Know that the roster with Mack (age 31 coming off major) and Hicks ( 32 - UFA only played in 9 games last year) were not making them a playoff caliber team.
Decent job so far - IMO.
Brilliant.
But it means absolutely nothing if that young QB can’t play in the NFL. Because this is what the last “new regime” said when they traded up to draft Mitch Trubisky. It’s also what the regime prior to that said when they drafted Rex Grossman. And the regime prior when they drafted Cade McNown. And the regime prior when they drafted Jim Harbaugh.
I'm sure they've got it right this time tho.

Way too early to say that. As MB said, it all depends if Fields pans out.....and they've been down this very road just recently with Trubisky.
Which they traded up in the draft to get Trubisky...
1st QB taken that year; over Patrick Mahomes and Watson...
Can you imagine the North with Rogers and Mahomes in it?
