A second and a fifth doesn't seem like fair compensation. As a Bears fan, this one hurts. The one guy who was consistently fun to watch ball. Totally agree that 2nd and 5th seems really light for a former early 1st rounder who is a top Pro. But get the free agent thing too. Ouch.

Because they have tons of cap room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how pissed I am, both as a Roquan owner in multiple leagues and a die-hard Bears fan. I don't know how to project his stats for Baltimore. Patrick Queen hasn't been what they thought but he's still a very capable tackler. I would move Smith down a notch or two at minimum based on this trade.

I would move Smith down a notch or two at minimum based on this trade. Baltimore's scheme is just utter trash for linebackers. Though I do wonder what Chicago would spend money on at this point, I understand not wanting to meet a $20+ mil a year contract expectation or play the FT game with him. Linebackers are basically the runningbacks of the defense when it comes to contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linebackers are basically the runningbacks of the defense when it comes to contracts. It's utter trash for DL and DB too. It's where DBs (especially safeties) go to die. Look at Kyle Hamilton. That guy would be tearing it up if he played for the Jets or Miami or something. I hope Smith is somehow the one to buck the trend of having poor production from LBs. This isn't Wink Martindale's defense anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Pretty disappointing. Unsure if there is any plan but just accumulating picks. Smith is very good and it seems he doesn't want to be here really. 2nd/5th seems light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Losing Breece Hall, and Najee Harris being useless has me desperate at RB in my ppr league. I need Hunt to go somewhere that he immediately becomes “the guy” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that something you read somewhere or just your opinion. I know he was used less lately (fewer carries and targets) but was still on the field the same amount (just under 50% snaps). I think the absence of Njoku meant more opportunities for Hunt. Well that and running the ball 44 times as they dominated TOP. I'll miss him if he is gone. I doubt they had a firm trade ready, or else he would have sat or barely played to avoid injury. I suspect they are looking to get a better offer, one they'd be willing to accept, especially if they still have hopes of competing for the playoffs.

gilthorp Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 As a TJ owner, the move to the Vikings isn't a heart warmer. Splitting with Irv Smith, in an inconsistent TE offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Not only is Irv out a while, but he hadn't done jack squat when healthy. The Vikings' HC/OC will make the most of Hockenson. I like the deal as an owner in a few leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
