NGT: Bears have ‘prioritized’ trading for Russell Wilson

smoke-screen season has been pretty entertaining

As theoretical compensation. Would you do it?

... Russ is in prime, and would require 3 first rounders and a legit player. The Bears picks are too late to replace the QB.

If I’m the Jets, I target him. #2 + another first, and Becton, would get it done.

I would guess Seattle would laugh their asses off at that offer. The Bears really don’t have anything to offer that numerous other teams couldn’t easily beat.

I wouldn’t. Foles is garbage and would rather just not have his salary on the books. Mack’s premier days are over and would be a waste if you no longer have a qb. The 2 firsts aren’t enough.

the bidding will stat at THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS.

Agree on Wilson, but disagree on Watson. Wilson-Hawks seems salvageable. Watson-Texans...it's already a very messy divorce.

I'll be stunned if Watson isn't traded.

And if the Texans are too stubborn, I fully expect Watson to make their lives even more miserable.

That situation broken in a million pieces.

Wilson is 50/50. If Seattle could get Dak, they would do it...IMV.

The Texans have been pretty firm on their stance thus far. It can change fast, but the trade would need to happen soon. Draft is fast approaching.

for the Seahawks to nix any deal in a trade for Wilson. I am sure if the Bears call them it won't be very long conversation.

Watson seems pretty dug in. I wonder what he'll do if they don't deal him. I've heard/read he wants out so badly he just won't play this year, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Will be made. Cost is way too high in every respect. My advice to Bears is draft better.

He could pull a hammy, wink wink, and then pull a Jalen Ramsey in Jax move. Tightness, sore back etc.

and why they think he'll improve the team they have today.

I can't see why Seattle would want to trade Wilson — unless they are going full rebuild and are not worried about improving they have today, just about improving the team they'll have in 2022 and onward.

If Seattle is indeed going to tear down the team and start over, then yes, they are going to want a haul of premium picks, and probably at least one young player at a premium position. If it's the Jets, I think the package starts at Becton, Darnold, this year's #2 overall, and at least one future first-rounder. And when I say "starts," I mean you make that offer, then you listen to Seattle's opening price and negotiate from there.
