It seems ppl dont understand the concept of risk/reward

If the Bears don't want to retain him (and they have a worse receiver situation than we do) what makes you think we'd want him?

Jared Cook is a rock solid TE as well.
SDHawk wrote:Yeah he messed up his back but he seems to be rehabbed from it. I think its a low risk/high reward move that we should look at. If he still has that deep speed, he could be just what this offense needs. Also think we need to take a hard look at Jared Cook. 6'5 and 4.4 speed.

Let's see some video of his progress. Otherwise, it's just hearsay. If he's willing to take change and a year or two, I say why not. I'd rather see some kind of evidence that shows he's NFL ready or at the very least close to it.

And since he more than likely won't have 4.3 speed again, I don't see why taking a flyer on him would be that great. He has average, maybe above average hands and isn't very big and is an average route runner outside of go routes (better than Hester, but that's not saying much). We could get that in the 3-4th round this year without the major injury concerns. Maybe you're still waiting on someone to agree with you and that's the only response that "makes sense" but I tried to lay it out with reasons. We all have our opinions though, so I won't fault you for sticking to yours.

Comments like that are more likely to merely make people chuckle and put you onto their ignore list.

Here's a comprehensive list of WRs that could add something to this team, and are as much of a risk as a dude that's been sitting out for a year plus.

No one said anything about spending big money anywhere.
I do think we will explore the FA market for the DL... But if we don't get someone like Desmond Bryant, I don't see why we couldn't leverage our draft picks plus Matt Flynn to try and get an impact DT in the draft like Sheldon Richardson and/or Kawann Short.
Kawann Short
Sheldon Richardson
Brandon Mebane
Bruce Irvin
^That would put alot of pressure on QBs
Then we dont have to blow our budget and we can make smaller FA moves like Jared Cook, Johnny Knox and Tarvaris Jackson.

Kawann Short and Sheldon Richardson both? I don't see that as a possibility.
And, Jared Cook won't be cheap in my opinion.
A lot of the 4-3 teams are switching to 3-4 this year. There might be some solid under the radar pass rushers available. I would rather focus on that, Randy Starks, Henry Melton, etc in the free agency and draft WR Hopkins in the first round.
SeahawksFanForever wrote:So you are focusing mostly on the defense in the draft (Which is cool) and not getting RW much help in the draft?
Jared Cook would be nice but other than that, Johnny Knox is your guy? That's it? I am not sure if I agree with that.

Srdjan Mirkovic, the Bears' spine consultant and an orthopedic surgeon on staff at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, performed a one-level vertebral fusion on Knox on Dec. 19. The initial outlook was four to six months of a recovery just to perform normal activities, and even longer before Knox could return to football.
That optimism changed when more structural damage was discovered during the surgery. Knox's back was unstable, and there were more torn ligaments than anticipated. The nerve damage couldn't be assessed until after the surgery, and Knox had to wear a back brace for a while after the procedure.
Considering how taxing the recovery process has been on him, Knox declined to revisit the incident when approached this week. He is on the physically-unable-to-perform list for the remainder of the season, although he is around the team daily.

How does it matter on which position we spend the money if the total cap hit is the same or less one way?
You go after those in FA that you think you can't get in the draft / you can get in the draft but at a better value in FA or those that while available in the draft you don't plan on using your picks on.
If there are good WRs in FA and lots of them so you think you can get them cheap and there are good pass rushers in the draft then that is how you do it. Doesn't matter what we are spending on Rice and Zach
