Washington Trades Sweat To Bears

[NYCRam]

For a 2. Seems to be the going rate lately.

I don’t know how I feel about this one. If the Bears have the 1st and 2nd picks in the draft I think they’d be more likely to trade one.

If they improve and win a few games then their own pick could end up being out of the top three, making it harder to move up for a QB.

Bears are dumb. That pick is valuable - almost a 1st. That GM is bad.

I guess WAS wants a 1st for DE Young, they had to get rid of one for cap.

The Bears currently have two firsts in the top five picks of the draft. I can understand why they'd make a trade for an established pass rusher considering their current assets.

 

[RamsSince1969]

Sweat is in the final year of his rookie contract so that means he comes CHEAP!

 

[OldSchool]

Bears suck as an organization. But this seems like a good deal if they can extend him.

He's going to command a contract that pays $25+M per-year in a few months.

Terrible trade for the bears wow lol

 

[FaulkSF]

Do the Bears want to win and forfeit their good picks?

It's better than the trade they made for chase claypool last season. They gave what ended up being the #33 pick for that clown.

Rams could use another pass rusher.

Seems like a dumb trade for the bears. Wash obviously wants to move on and now they'll get a nice return on that free agent

Well this will help the Bears in the playoffs a lot.

Should help them in 2024 and beyond. You know, the actual REASON for doing it.

So much for the theory of players wanting to go to a winning org.

Um...he got traded, he didn't PICK the Bears.

Somebody gets it.
I think this trade is a bargain.
They'll sign him to a long term deal and have a stud DE instead of a "who knows if he'll pan out" 2nd rounder

Chicago better hope he wants to stay for more than half a year now. Could just FO to Atlanta in offseason.

That's a *rich* pick.. but, hey.. they can trade back with one of those firsts and get back at least a second rounder.
