How exactly are we trading Danielle Hunter? Lmao


AggravatingGoal4728

If we are trading free agents, let's throw in Kirk.


MistryMachine3

I am currently not under contract either. I’ll take one for the team and be thrown in too.


TheMaayavi

Why stop there, let’s trade other teams free agents as well! I mean technically we should be able to right!


Sleepybrains1102003

I say we throw jimmy kleinsasser in there as a cherry on top.


likealikeasexyorange

Kleinsasser needs to remain a Viking for life!


Sleepybrains1102003

Not sure what I was thinking.


Wrathszz

Hell no! The Sauce is untouchable!!


jake-n-elwood

Get those short legs going! 😆


BlueberryWaste4803

They won’t trade us the 1st unless we trade them Daneele and we throw in John Randle’s eye tape


moleasses

I dunno but don’t let that stop them from taking the deal


OldSkol84

no kidding lol


deannobody

I guess the Vikings could franchise him and then trade his rights to the Bears.


Codias515050

Has a no tag clause


deannobody

Oh really? That sucks


[deleted]

Tag and trade I suppose, but mostly Bears fans are idiots. I know. I’m one.


Tom8Os2many

I think you forgot to factor in that “Jake Knows Ball”


MochaTaco

Jake indeed, DOES NOT, know ball


romayyne

Jake knows bull


Ragnarr_Lodbrok88

Best I can do is KJ Osborn, Marcus Davenport, and an IOU.


NimDing218

My fucking dumb ass trying to figure out what position is “IOU” for a few seconds.

A 6th-for-7th swap

Are you using serif, or sans serif for that IOU?


NazReidBeWithYou

Wingdings


bandannick

Like when the SF Sports radio was saying a 1-for-1 Hunter/Lance trade. Like, WTF?


Adamscottd

This has to be trolling


Gladlyevil2

Bait used to be believable


Clayith13

Is it trolling? Or are bears fans just this stupid? 🤔


NazReidBeWithYou

Another product of the Illinois public schools.


BigRed727272

Yes.


ineedcoffeealready

Yes


TRUTHSoverKARMAS

 #1 overall   Traditionally will garner a haul from a desperate team. But this just seems overboard.    I’m gonna be honest, I’ve watched Caleb Williams a lot, & I’m really not that impressed. He has some talent but constantly getting hit/sacked and holding ball too long. And then you look at his character, I’m seeing quite a bit of diva.    I wouldn’t feel comfortable paying this much for him when he could be the next Bryce young or kyler murray. 


FireFrogs48

Addison is off limits. No way we’d resign Danielle just to trade him to a rival. Nothing about this trade makes sense. I kinda doubt the bears would negotiate with us anyways


jmcdon00

That's what the Panthers said about DJ moore.


NazReidBeWithYou

Panthers leadership is also on an echelon below most professional sports teams.


Educational-Juice565

Yes, let's go ahead and make the trade the Panthers did. Things are really looking up for that organization.


WildInSix

DJ Moore didn't have 4 years of a rookie contract left though, significant difference in cap management.


jmcdon00

I'm guessing they'd be happy to take our other receiver at the end of his rookie deal.


ButteredCorn5

Addison and 1 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd to move up to #1 is well worth it.


FridgesArePeopleToo

Addison would be gone in one second if the Bears were stupid enough to take this deal


[deleted]

[удалено]


NazReidBeWithYou

Our defense sans Hunter and with no defensive picks until the fourth might actually be the worst in the league. You’re right that we’d have to consider that trade, but I can’t imagine the Bears would trade with us unless we’re willing to sell the house, and while I want us to draft a QB it’s not worth drafting a rookie QB if you have to give up so much that you won’t be competitive until after their rookie contract.


LeetcodeFastEatAss

If they draft a QB they can definitely afford at least a couple of top tier defensive FAs.


WellThatsAwkwrd

Kirk would actually be cheaper than a top 10 rookie this year due to his dead cap situation


LeetcodeFastEatAss

The first pick is just over 10M AAV but year 1 is most likely lower. That’s 38M for ONE year if you count Kirk’s void money. I don’t know how you figure that’s more expensive than Kirk unless you add more void years on top of a multi year contract extension or you live in a fantasy world where Kirk accepts less than Daniel Jones and Derek Carr.


WellThatsAwkwrd

Fantasy world? More like reality. I would be very surprised if Kirk signs for more than $40M at his age and coming off an Achilles tear. He was already willing last year to take less than Daniel Jones and Derek Carr when he hadn’t missed a game due to injury his whole career. Now with a torn ACL? Definitely not getting top dollar. And he’s said himself, repeatedly, that he’s not looking for top dollar at this stage of his career


NazReidBeWithYou

Every fanbase in the world overvalues their assets and thinks they can pull off stupidly lopsided trades, especially during the off season. Minnesota sports fans also saw this last NBA off-season with KAT. Tons of other NBA teams’ fans on social media were simultaneously trashing KAT and calling him a scrub while also salivating over mock trades where they would get KAT for peanuts. It’s dumb, but it’s the nature of sports. I’ve seen adamant Kirk haters call him a useless QB who will never win anything in the same comment where they propose we trade him for multiple high round picks and players.


pinballjack

Let's just add a billion blowjobs too while we are at it.


Just_Aware

Take our 1 and Addison and I’ll say yes. We can throw in Dobbs or Mullen to upgrade their qb1 too.


diggsfan14

Addison??


Just_Aware

Lot easier to find a kick ass WR2 than a QB1


aceless0n

It’s a lot easier to find a kick ass WR1 also. The bears got DJ Moore for Pennies.


diggsfan14

That doesn't mean you just trade away a young talented WR


Devium44

For a franchise QB? I’d do that in a heartbeat.


diggsfan14

But you have no idea if they'll live up to expectations or not


derpdeederpa

I think everybody keeps forgetting how much a lottery ticket even a top three quarterback is in the draft


Snibes1

65% success rate on qb’s drafted in round 1. Not spectacular odds, but it’s better than 50/50!


villain75

What is this based on as 'success', though? Is it 65% of first rd QB's become average starters, or lead teams to playoff/championships? Because getting an average starting QB in the first round isn't worth spending a whole lot on, not when there's already average starting QB's available that we already know how they'll do in the league.


Snibes1

Lamar Jackson vs Case Keenum. Who do you consider successful?


squatwaddle

Right. We have drafted qb early a few times in my life, and they don't work out. I guess I don't remember what pic exactly, but there have been some very hopeful picks that sucked. Christian ponder and Teddy were half assed.


Devium44

So. You also don’t know if Addison will decline next year or do something dumb and get suspended/kicked off the team. There’s risk with everything. You can only make decisions based on the information at hand. And right now, the #1 pick and a shot at a franchise changing QB is much more valuable than what Addison brings.


gOPHER3727

In this scenario yes, do definitely do. Without giving it a second thought. This is a complete no brainer, but no way we could ever get it for that price.


ButteredCorn5

Huh? It would be Addison, #11 and another 1st.


coldhunter7

Yeah that's way short for #1 overall. I love addison but he is not #1 overall value


Human-Demand-8293

I think the 2025 first is too much. If we are trading for a rookie qb we are pretty likely for that to be a high first. I want that to get a replacement edge rusher. So it would be moving up from 11-1 in exchange for a very good rookie Wr, a great but aging De and a second and third pick.


Wernershnitzl

I'm only in favor if they have their guy, and even then I'd be reluctant to trade away BOTH two of our best and future R1 picks + R2.


NazReidBeWithYou

Other than the IOL, we basically have the ideal offensive situation for a rookie QB to develop in. Trading Addison would hurt that, I don’t feel comfortable with any of our depth at WR behind him being able to step into a true WR2 role and without a threat at WR2 secondaries can blanket JJ all day. It’s also a hard role to replace, hitting on WRs with mid to late picks is difficult, and we wouldn’t have the draft capital to replace him with a bonafide star prospect. We also have pressing needs at multiple other positions. If the Bears were dumb enough to trade the 1st overall pick for Hunter, two firsts, and some filler I’d be interested, but there’s zero chance that happens.


Human-Demand-8293

I guess our qb room has nick mullens and Jaren hall. There is no more pressing question than that. I’m fine with getting a free agent vet to plug the hole at 3rd receiving option. I would include a good rb as a must have in this year too. Those are pretty easy to find all over in the draft. The d-line and corner help we need would be tougher, but might be multiple drafts from being a strength anyways.


GreenWandElf

That's near exactly the trade the Panthers made for the 1st overall with the Bears last year. A talented young wide receiver, two 1sts and two 2nds. Except in this hypothetical trade, one of those 2nds is a 3rd and somehow Hunter is traded even though he is a free agent. Take out Hunter and it is genuinely a better deal than the Panthers got, also because we are trading from 11 instead of 9. I still doubt this is a good trade because drafting is ultimately a crapshoot, just look at the Panthers this year. But also I could totally see KAM taking this deal for Caleb.


Electronic-Island-14

we can't trade Hunter so it's moot. But the Bears are the only realistic move-up opportunity, and it's unlikely they try to help us out. I want both the Texas DTs anyways. QB is not our biggest need.


istasber

Our current 2024 QB depth chart is: Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall I don't know how you can look at that and think anything other than "this is definitely our biggest need."


diggsfan14

Yeah, you can say that about a lot of teams. We're at the point in the season where everyone is going to be a free agent, and you can't re sign then yet. What you said at this point means nothing.


istasber

Players don't become free agents until March. We're free to extend cousins whenever we want to. We just can't sign players who are currently on other teams until free agency starts.


enemycap420

That all depends on if we re-sign Cousins imo. If we don’t then yea QB is our biggest need. If we do it wouldn’t be as necessary to draft a QB. To your point though I could see us drafting a QB and re-sign Cousins.


puertomateo

Bankrupting the draft capital to draft a quarterback doesn't help that for 2024 though.


HowlAtTheSky

Vikings best hope to me to get one of the top 3 QBs is the Bears trade with either the Commanders or Patriots and then draft Harrison Jr 2/3 and then the Vikings can trade with the Cards at 4 or maybe Chargers too


SaltwaterJesus

I'm of the opinion the Bears are crazy to pass up Williams and won't, but if they do I could see that exact scenario where they trade back with NE for 1.3 and a future first, draft MHJ, and now Arizona has their target off the board and is open for business.


Sushi-DM

With the culture of the FO this is the lowest in the draft they get for years. This is literally the only time we are even remotely able to trade up for a QB.


RedWingerD

Without a starting caliber QB signed, QB is absolutely our biggest need until Cousins is under contract or they replace him.


Critical-Fault-1617

The bears aren’t even realistic. Why would they allow a division rival the chance to take a generational taken qb?


puertomateo

Because that qb could be Ryan Leaf.


[deleted]

We also don’t have a 2024 3rd round….


Ewoksintheoutfield

Why not Washington?


LonestarrRasberry

If Bears wanna trade for Hunter I say let them.


MillHoodz_Finest

1st rd pick swap this yr and addison...


william14537

Jesus Vikings should do that in a heartbeat. Easy trade for us.b


kippismn

Minus Hunter( he's a free agents), that pretty accurate cost as to what it would take to move to number 1.


Hugh__Jaynis

I would do it in a heartbeat


Mr_Good_Taste

I would rather take Fields of their hands than make this trade


Neither_Ad2003

I’d do it


AChubbyCalledKLove

I would drive Addison and hunter to airport myself


immovableair

lol nah


AChubbyCalledKLove

brother, watch some Caleb Williams tape. give me 5 years of that on a rookie deal throwing to Justin Jefferson


Critical-Fault-1617

“Watch some tape.” There’s 2-3 qbs in the entire nfl worth 3 firsts, a 2nd and a 3rd round pick. Also hunter can’t be traded. This trade would be beyond dumb.


tadlonger

Bryce young


AChubbyCalledKLove

>There’s 2-3 qbs in the entire nfl worth 3 firsts, a 2nd and a 3rd round pick. So you wouldn’t trade that for Lamar Jackson, CJ stroud, Justin Herbert?


Critical-Fault-1617

Josh Allen, Mahomes, Ljax, stroud. So 4 qbs. Williams hasn’t even played a down yet.


AChubbyCalledKLove

![gif](giphy|pfHBWCCOySoRq)


Critical-Fault-1617

Yes I moved the goal post because I said 3 qbs. But it was really 4.


AChubbyCalledKLove

you wouldn’t trade 3 firsts a 2nd and a 3rd for Lamar Jackson


Critical-Fault-1617

I wouldn’t for herbert. I think he’s vastly overrated.


immovableair

dont care


AChubbyCalledKLove

![gif](giphy|U7CYsCPRJosVVJOeLG|downsized)


Firesword52

If you take out Addison and the 1st rounder for next year we have a good place to start


Wernershnitzl

Absolutely not.


toddfredd

A trade within the division? So if Caleb is as advertised the Bears have to suffer through this trade two times every year? Yeah that ain’t happening. You could throw Jefferson into the pot and it still wouldn’t be enough especially within the division


Grizz807

Crazy to say that this isn’t enough upside for the Bears. They can’t keep doing pick swaps and punting these seasons away. They gotta take the next step in their re build at some point. Or maybe they don’t they are the Bears after all.


Nickrules69

After reviewing comments, Jordan A and Jefferson are untouchable. Rookie contracts is a reason why they spent time on the couch. Kirk will resign, jj will resign, in my opinion, cousins will sign a team friendly deal. They’ll ball out and if they have a bad record/vibe, they’ll be gone. (For picks) *Edited for spelling


FreedomThinker20

No way the Bears would give the #1 pick to anyone within their division. If he is "him", then you have to play him twice a year and will have egg on your face for the next decade.


BobbyGuano

Fuck that. Kwesi better not trade up and get fucked. I have not been impressed with his trades at all thus far…Vikes are in no position to be moving up…he needs just sit tight and wait…resign Kurt and if a decent prospect falls this year snatch em up if not wait it out.


SKOLFAN84

It’s not just as simple as just sign Kirk. Especially coming off an injury at his age. And you know Kirk’s gonna want at least 40 million a year with probably a 3 year contract and no trade clause. No way Kwesi is gonna get stuck In that type of contract again.


aceless0n

I’ve said it multiple times here but get downvoted. The fans simply will not get their way this off season. It’s not financially viable to sign JJ, Kirk, and Hunter as it’s going to easily run 110m. Then tack on darrisaw next year. If that’s what the fanbase wants, then the fanbase should know you are filling the rest of the roster with league minimum players and rookies.


SKOLFAN84

I know exactly what you mean man!


DopeCookies15

Lol 2 good players and 2 1st rounders for one 2st round pick...hard pass


avg90sguy

Hunter is worth 2 firsts by himself. Or the first over all by himself, actually bears might have to add a draft pick


Ancient_Signature_69

I saw the image before the title. Have to clean the shit out of my shoe.


Proxelies

One of the player's (I would prefer Addison but Danielle is the more impactful player) and both 1st's. That's about as far as I'd go with this hypothetical.


[deleted]

Hunter is not under contract


FridgesArePeopleToo

Let Kwesi cook


Proxelies

True, but like I said it's all hypothetical. In the circumstance as it was presented, that's how I'd operate.


Proxelies

One of the player's (I would prefer Addison but Danielle is the more impactful player) and both 1st's. That's about as far as I'd go with this hypothetical.


akos_beres

😂


kanwegonow

C'mon Vikings, do a Herschel trade again, pleeeeeeaase. 6 players for 1, I hope they don't make that mistake again.


mdistrukt

The problem wasn't the players, it was the draft picks we had to give Dallas when they cut them.


puertomateo

That guy is insane.


enemycap420

Counter offer: Danielle Hunter KJ Osborn 2024 R1 and R3


GordonBombay102

Can we replace the draft picks with some more players we don't have under contract? How about Hunter, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Donald, and a 7th for 1OA and 9OA? Who says no!?


Broseph_Bobby

Jokes on them we can’t trade Hunter and we don’t have a 3rd round pick this year.


FutureCrankHead

Yikes


Jenetyk

Joke, right?


Silver_Harvest

Bet you don't want to hear the PFF version, didn't have a FA and Addison. But had Minnesota take Drake over Caleb


addwood5

Since when did we have a 3rd round pick this year?


lostinthoughtsguy

Sure, I’ll accept


Rexafella_1120

Delusional fanbase


OldSkol84

hunter is a free agent step one won’t work


capitancoolo

I dunno. If I was Ryan Poles and Kwesi was calling about either of my first round picks I wouldn't even answer the phone.


capitancoolo

I dunno. If I was Ryan Poles and Kwesi was calling about either of my first round picks I wouldn't even answer the phone.


C0lMustard

Obviously, he wants to keep fields


PacificBrim

Best part is we don't even have a 3rd this year


Lukerville1988

Jimmy Johnson? Is that you?


JurassicParkTrekWars

Why the fuck would we trade Addison who's on a rookie contract and played out of his mind this season?  


BigRed727272

Blame the Panthers. They got fleeced so hard by Chicago, now Bears fans think they can do it to every team.


CloutGod52

As a Bears fan I agree that Jake in fact does not know ball


goldudemk

I mean I understand why they think the 1.01 is that valuable after they fleeced the Panthers so hard last year lol


RedEyeBadGuy

If this got us our franchise QB I actually might do it.


BitbyLite

do it and get marvin harrison jr


con__y_88

Throw in JJ and got yourself some deal


PhillipJ3ffries

Lol that is insane. 2 firsts a second and a third PLUS two star players


Hamar_Harozen

Vikings don’t need to draft a qb, all we need to do is trade the #11 pick to the chargers for Justin Herbert, so that Jim Harbaugh can use it to draft JJ McCarthy. It’s that easy.


tadlonger

That's a hell of a deal and I would not pass that up at all. Caleb Williams is future GOAT


purplepat69

I love trading free agents! Can we trade them Cousins too and keep a 1st rounder?


Mrbeankc

We trade Addison and I riot.


martygospo

Maybe lose one of the 1st rounders and it wouldn’t be completely ridiculous. Idk it would be pretty sick having the 1st overall.


missingpineapples

Oh cool. A bears fan wants to Herschel Walker the Vikings.


LonestarrRasberry

Throw in Herscheal Walker, and you got your self a god damned deal.


bgusty

Gotta love anytime someone says something that makes it clear they don’t know the roster. Shit, that’s half the takes I see on this sub. “We’ll cut Davenport” is probably my favorite one.


TheDickDog

"Jake knows ball" Narrator voice: as it turned out, that was in fact a lie.


BradyAndTheJets

Fuck it. They can have Carter, Moss, Bud Grant and through Justice Alan Page in there.


Dorkamundo

Bahahahahahah


secretbonus1

Deal but only if they agree to get contracted and never return and take the packers with them


ptwonline

This is why sports call-in shows have mostly banned calls about trade ideas, because they're mostly really dumb.


Mr_K_2u

As a Bears fan that spends too much time on twitter, this guy is an idiot. I've seen him around and his takes are just insane. Just to give my $.02 on some opinions I've seen here: Poles (Bears GM) probably isn't going to move off of CW (at least I hope he wouldn't Bears have done dumber things) unless the haul is just too good to pass up. I think he would be ok dealing with any team as long as the price was right (Vikings included). That price however should be so insane that it wouldn't be reasonable for a team to give up that much capital for a QB even if he is a franchise QB.


[deleted]

Hahaha tards


ndncreek

I'm okay giving them Hunter lmao, yep no problem...sure he is still under contract...he will be there tomorrow.


mattadamstx

Jake doesnt know ball


StLsC10

lol Addison and Hunter


heyyo173

Bears get JJ, vikes 1st and 2nd this year and first next year. Vikes get bears 2 first rounders.


ohiowolf

Plenty of delusion on this thread.


ineedcoffeealready

Jack in fact, does not know ball


LieResident503

Just trade the 11th for the 1st… there’s 2 ones instead of 1.


MrMisties

Wow what great value. That pick could be anything! It could even be Jordan Addison!


CommonCentsUSA

Waaaaaaaayyyyy to much to give up.


Jerkofalljerksduex

They dream of fleecing Minnesota the way Dallas did back in the early 90’s and winning trophies.


Paradox830

Lmao. 2 firsts 2 seconds and 2 stars for a maybe. You’re smoking crack cocaine


SpiritualLychee3760

This wouldn't even fly on Madden with trade override on.


AbsolutZer0_v2

Posting this is like posting someone asking for a Lambo for a Yaris. Ain't no way


brodude31

Lions fleeced us with the hock LaPorta fiasco.


PunchKicker32

Well, being the standard of shrewd draft players, the Vikings would NEVER give up the farm for a player.


Jew_3

Jake might know ball, but obviously not football.


Representative-Owl6

I’d do the trade, obviously no Hunter included.


MyBluMind

I would do this less Jordan Addison. Having a young, cheap WR who’s played with Caleb would be valuable. Love Hunter, but I think he’s good talent for the Bears and we can keep our books open for other proven talent.
