Double digit tackles for loss last two years and 17 QB hits last year.

Bears Meatballs on radio said this is a great signing. 3 technique who plays very hard

They are filling the cupboard with mid range vets in the DL.

 

[Dback Jon]

Good signing, IMHO.

@Mulli ?

 

[Shane]

This sounds like a great signing at face value….

 

[Proximo]

Seems like a lot of money to me, but I guess that's the way it is to sign guys on the first day.

Doesn’t seem bad for a DT that had 17QB pressures and decent amount of sacks from DT position.

@kerouac9 this is the strategy you were kind of talking about? Looks pretty good. If the Cardinals somehow swung and got Hunter, the front seven would start to look much better.

 

[Stout]

On the face of it, it's a good signing. Same with the other DT. The problem is...where is the stud on this DL? We need impact players on the D. Definitely more hope that this guy provides that, but is he a game-changing stud? We shall see. Do we still draft a DT high? We shall see.

Anyway, for the signing, seems like a decent one.

Bears fans on X saying we way overpaid.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Monti doing work baby!

He's certainly active, which is good!

No, we aren't drafting a DT high with Stills and these 2 signings. A DE perhaps.

They’re numb to anything like us and just as clueless

Another professional IDL who is going to eat up a ton of snaps and not be embarrassing. His knockdowns and pressures in 2023 are significant outliers from his previous five years of production. This is probably the riskiest signing of the free agency so far in that he's the least likely to meet or outperform this contract.

So no that risky tho amirite?

I hear what you're saying Stout, and you're 100% right. We need our Aaron Donald!

Got to find your super duper stars in the draft though.

Then where is the stud on the DL we desperately need?

We are still a hell of a long way from the 2023 Niners as far as being loaded with defensive line talent. I gotta think Nichols and Jones take DT off the board of the draft early. But, IMO, it shouldn't if BPA at #27 is someone like Newton.

But this is a pretty serious spending spree by Bidwill at the start of FA. Laying out almost 40 million guaranteed. Gotta say I did not expect that level of aggressiveness although these are the types of players I expected.

Kind of? I think this is a worse/riskier contract than the Nichols deal. Yeah, he's better than LJ Collier, but I think you're paying for an outlier season.

Montez Sweat arrived in Chicago on 11/5. To that date (eight games) Jones had one sack and nine pressures. After Sweat arrived (nine games), Jones had 3.5 sacks and 13 pressures.

I don't expect that he's going to have Montez Sweat-level pass rush support here this season.

 

[kerouac9]

Depends on how you feel about the Jordan Phillips contract. We signed Phillips to a 3-year, $30 million contract with $14.5 million guaranteed after an outlier season when he had 9.5 sacks and 20 pressures.

Then where is the stud on the DL we desperately need?

I don't think you need a stud on the DL in this defense. At least not to get where we're planning to go this year. We're gonna have to develop our edge rushers in-house.

I certainly hope they don’t rule it out. We all witnessed first hand how quickly the front seven can get decimated. Knowing you are a Penn State fan you’ve probably seen him more than others, what are your thoughts on Johnny Newton?

 

[Krangodnzr]

I think the concept right now is to fill the defense with capable NFL caliber players. The draft will fill the rest.
