More we suck coverage but there is a positive here, the players are still apparently all in.
Blah. - ( New Window )
I wasn't aware DG was in the final year of his contract.

Was that part of the consideration for keeping him last year?
I didn’t know Gettleman was in the final year of his contract

That’s going to be it for him. It may explain why he wasn’t fired last offseason.

.

So how does that impact trade deadline deals. Is Mara making that final call?
A deadline deal would be extremely unlikely

Given the situation. Someone would essentially have to force DG to negotiate the trade of a player in return for draft picks that will be for the next GM to use.
Just another typical bashing from media that never likes the NYG

If you can't see how this roster is better than previous years then I don't know what to tell you...

OTOH, he did trade down in the first round last draft to obtain the 2022 Bears' first pick.

Yes, but there actually were expectations coming into the season. Here today, we are sitting at 1-5 and in last place with more of our top players on the sideline than on the field. No way DG is investing in the future at this point. Not willingly, at least.

But those expectations were symptomatic of the larger problem, that this franchise has no ability or willingness to look at itself objectively.

Why were there expectations? Because we were playing for a division title on the last day of the season. Yet, that division was one of the worst in NFL history, and even then, the 6-win season was a mirage. One signature win, with the other 5 against teams with a combined 28-50-2 record, ALL with backup QB's.

That is a team unable or unwilling to do even the most rudimentary scouting of itself. A good organization would recognize that it still had a ways to go, and wouldn't have committed so much money to FA, ESPECIALLY when that involved moving more cap money into future years.
