Homer gone

[Maelstrom787]

Man. I'm getting kicked in the nads repeatedly with these running back departures.

They disagreed with Pete’s running philosophy.

...or something like that.

It's interesting that Homer got a better contract than Penny.

 

[RiverDog]

Looks like we'll be drafting a running back for sure now.

Yeah, but who would you rather play for, the Eagles or the Bears?

Knowing John and Pete, we were probably going to anyway

I already laid out a scenario where we get Bijan. Cards keep their pick and take Anderson, Carter is off John and Pete's board altogether due to character concerns. One of the 4 QB's remain and Seattle trades down. Uses first selection on Bijan and goes heavy on defense after that.

Bijan would be great at 20.

There's always a group of fans that throw a fit over taking a RB early. But I think they're targeting Charbonnet in Round 2.

I have a feeling Bijan is gone by 20. If the Hawks want him, they night have to take him in the early to mid teens.

He's definitely not making it to 20. Which is why they had an official visit with Charbonnet at the combine. He's a fit.

I think they are dead set on taking one of Anderson/Carter/Wilson at 5.

Hmm….. this one I’m mixed about. He was inured quite a bit last yr. I personally don’t feel outside of pass blocking he was all that tbh.

I think bijan is a good pick for a team like the bills/eagles/chiefs that are good squads and have that luxury. We have too many holes in the rest of our roster. I’d take him at 37 but at 20 we need pass rushers/o line/d line/ WR and linebackers way worse

The truth hurts! Poles has to pay a premium to get players to come to Chicago. Homer is getting 4.5M and Monty is getting 6M from Lions, and he’s clearly better than Homer.

In no way, shape or form would Carter be off John and Pete's board over misdemeanors.

In addition to his backup RB duties, Homer was a solid special teams performer. He's going to be missed.

 

[Pandion Haliaetus]

With my dad being a Bills fan, I wonder how much Devin Singletary would cost, he seems well rounded if not just a reliable enough in a backup/3rd down role but could carry #1 duties if needed. Decent runner, can catch but most importantly pretty solid if not able in pass-protection.

That is just bad math, I suggest you review the deals each received. Let me help, Monty's deal is 3yr/18m with 11m guaranteed and Homer's is a two-year deal worth a MAXIMUM of $4.5 million. Monty is getting 6m per year while Homer is probably closer to 2m per year, not 4.5m.
