Crazy that I'm more bummed about Dayo missing time than I am for Montez

NFL comes at you quickly

u/I_VAG_I Bears 1d ago

Dayo please be okay. Any news on him

u/HereForTheComments57 Smokin' Jay 1d ago

He's getting more motivation

25

u/agrp8 1d ago

Have we heard anything on Dayo? I agree I am nervous about losing him.

20

u/Ok_Donkey_980 1d ago

Reports say he is still motivated 🙏

u/pyledriver21 1d ago

Does anyone know if Montez is a cut candidate after this year or is his contract gonna fuck us

59

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

We have an out after this year. Only like 4 mil in dead cap if cut

13

u/MJL04005 23h ago

I think there’s no guaranteed $ anymore bc of the suspension

Thanks. Thats exactly what I saw.

That shouldn't impact dead cap though. Saves the team actual money but doesn't save the dead cap hit.

u/MJL04005 7h ago

Yea but next year is a team option anyway.

u/Wh0IsMrX 1d ago edited 1d ago

Sweat's cap number next year is ~$25M and we can save $21M of that if he is released... Hard to justify keeping him under those circumstances but the Bears have neglected that position for so long I'm not sure who replaces him.

u/MiaAtSebs Kyl-IR Gordon 1d ago

He's going to go be a nice #3 on the Seahawks depth chart and win a ring

11

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

I agree. He’s not a number 1. Probably a great rotational 2/3

u/Wh0IsMrX 1d ago

I hate that you're right about this.

u/dilapidated_wookiee Snoo Ditka 19h ago

Cutting him right now would be monumentally stupid, if they could still save that after the season it might make sense.

Our d line sucks, why would we want to cut the only good player there lol

1

u/Wh0IsMrX 18h ago

We're only taking about next year

1

u/dilapidated_wookiee Snoo Ditka 18h ago

Yeah if they can still save that in the off-season he is certainly a cut candidate. Obviously depends a lot on the draft and FA, DE talent is not cheap and having to buy his replacement will negate any savings.

We really need to hit on a stud DL in the draft

1

u/Wh0IsMrX 18h ago

They can save $33.7M if they cut him now since he voided all guarantees left in his contract due to his suspension... As you said, it doesn't make sense to let him go this season, but that extra $12.7M of cap savings could come into play if they trade for an impact DL.

u/ActFuture1101 1d ago

Only way I see them keep him is if he somehow beasts the 2nd half of the season which seems very unlikely.

5

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

He would need to finish the season with at least 12 sacks for that to happen…it won’t happen

1

u/ThanatosIdle 1d ago

He might be a cut candidate THIS YEAR at this rate.

u/numbspaghetti37 1d ago

Everyone getting yelled at. No reporters allowed in this Wednesday and no open practice. Just a closed walk through. Ben is maaaaaddddd…..

10

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

Where did you read that? About the no open practice

18

u/numbspaghetti37 1d ago

23

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

Interesting. That’s good. I think it’s two reasons…Ben probably wants no distractions at practice, Ben also doesn’t want any eyes on Caleb’s practice activity

#1 person Ben should be mad at is himself tbh

u/Paranoid_Android22 Ben’s Johnson 1d ago

I’m sure he is…but that’s the beauty of a team…it’s never on one person…the blame gets spread to everyone

u/vamsi93 65 1d ago

But actually trade for Khalil Mack now

19

u/CruelAngelsThesis_01 Darn Alright 1d ago

Can’t he just say he was suspended for the previous two games instead? Not like he was on the field anyway

29

u/AJ3HUNNA Bears 1d ago

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!! Time to trade for another tight end
