explain it to me like i'm 5. a hypothetical story for your wednesday morning...

so the bears get to week 7 and realize they don't actually need 3 wrs (big surprise...) so what would the nfl trade look like with nfl contracts being involved. for arguments sake lets say they trade keenan allen to the Cardinals... would the bears still have to pay keenans salary?? or is this part of the trade negotiation

now they could negotiate a different percentage I think on who is on the hook for what

like for example I think NYJ is paying 50% of Zach Wilson's contract and DEN paying other 50%

Even in a hypothetical, why in the worlds would the bears trade Allen

If anything, they would trade DJM

They’ve already expressed a desire to sign them both

And they can easily afford it. Have a ton of cap space and won’t have to pay Caleb for years. I’m expecting DJ to resign on a 4 year deal and Keenan to get a 1 or 2 year extension

Touché

And I thought we had to explain it like everyone is 5

You writed too much
