Makes sense, I'm guessing we might see such moves maybe after the draft depending on what holes still remain depending on who is still available on the market.

Not at all. His coverage abilities are comparable to Hall's (i.e. not good) and he's a risk-taker like Hall. Hall just succeeds more often. Hall also already has familiarity with our team and system. But i would imagine he was much cheaper to resign than Hall would be. Personally, i dont think theres much of a market for Hall and if we waited long enough, we probably could have gotten him back at a comparable price.

We'll definitely have to clear space to sign our draft picks, UDFAs, and have room to spare to sign players when our own guys inevitably get hurt.

All the major restructures we anticipate happening will still happen - with the cap penalty, we dont really have a choice - its just a matter of when.

maybe we can have both if there is no market for Hall.

i think that is the plan, wait it out on hall and try to bring him back...

Sounds good to me. I've always supported Hall.

Don't be surprised if the ship has sailed on Hall.

But the Bears (and Cutler) are on the schedule. We NEED Hall.
