There is no guarantee he will sign with the Bears, although it would be weird for them to not have some sort of agreement in place.
With that in mind, however, if they already have an agreement in place then they could have taken the Derek Carr route and waited until the off-season to pick him up to keep their draft capital.
Poles has made some interesting decisions to say the least.
Did I miss anything?
- A high 2nd round round pick feels steep.
- A proven, talented DE is hard to find and is valuable.
- The Bears D-line is currently ineffective and appears to have little talent.
- Sweat may have benefited from playing with a good D-line on the Commies and may not be that good.
- Sweat may eat up some double teams sometimes allowing one of the other Bears young d-linemen to step up their game.
- He is 27 and they Bears aren’t even close to good yet. He’ll be old by the time they are.
- They have little chance to be a competitive team without a good D-line
- He is a FA at the end of the year.
- He can be tagged.
- They Bears are in a good position in terms of getting a jump on resigning him.
