Chicago Bears Mock Offseason - Cuts, Trades & Draft Plan | Chicago Bears Podcast

·1 hr 20 min·5 clips

Why Quentin argues the Bears should keep DJ Moore as the 'older brother' to a young receiver room.

Quentin Crisco and Ron Luce open the episode by introducing their annual mock offseason exercise, using a shared spreadsheet to simulate the Bears' roster moves. They start with potential cuts, discussing Eddie Jackson's likely release and an injury settlement for Teven Jenkins. The debate over DeAndre Swift's future leads to considering Breece Hall in free agency. A major discussion centers on DJ Moore's value, with Quentin arguing to keep him as a veteran mentor, but they ultimately trade him to the Titans for a fifth-round pick to free cap space. They also trade for Steelers defensive tackle Keanu Benton. In free agency, they sign edge rusher Odafe Oweh, safety Kevin Byard, running back Breece Hall, and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Cap constraints force a restructure of Montez Sweat's contract. The draft simulation begins with pick 25, where they select defensive tackle Kris Jenkins over safety Kamari Ramsey. Later picks address left tackle with Austin Barber, safety with Michael Taffee, linebacker with Aiden Fisher, and receiver/returner Squirrel White. They round out the roster by signing veteran safety CJ Gardner-Johnson and tackle Yosh Nijman. The hosts reflect on building a deep, physical team, though left tackle remains a concern due to Braxton Jones' injury.
