So we talked about this hypothetical on the podcast yesterday.
Theres no help better than Garrett, a one-man wrecking crew.
Full transparency, I would do the deal as proposed in the Athletic with the two first round picks.
I am surprised to see the poll results.
I’ve seen many replies on twitter saying that this is a move that Ryan Pace would make.
He did give up a ton of draft capital to get Khalil Mack.
And what did that do…it made the Bears Super Bowl contenders.
The 2018 Bears went 12-4 and were a double doink away from…who knows what.
Obviously no guarantees, but that group had a chance.
It’s also a trade that Poles would make.
He’s made trades mid-year, giving up 2nd rounders, to try and improve his team.
Last year it was Sweat.
Before that it was Claypool.
He also made a splash for Keenan Allen.
Obviously this trade packaged is juiced up, but Garrett is a better player.
I am a big believer in striking while the iron is hot.
Who do you double team?
The Bears would NEVER need to blitz to get pressure.
The Bears are in their window.
I would push my chips in, but I am a gamblin' man.
I am willing to give up the capital to take a legitimate swing at the Lombardi trophy.
For now…let’s go for it.
