The bears and Nagy, who was the OC for the Chiefs last year, wanted Wilson FWIW.
With $40M in cap space, and being desperate for WR help, even the Bears weren't willing to spend $7M on Albert Wilson. What does that tell you?

The Bears were pursuing him.With $40M in cap space, and being desperate for WR help, even the Bears weren't willing to spend $7M on Albert Wilson. What does that tell you?
Well let's see....(1) Watkins and Wilson don't play the same position, (2) Watkins is only going to count $8M against the Chief's salary cap this year, (3) Andy Reid has no viable slot receiver on his roster and its a huge part of his playcalling, (4) Albert Wilson was Mahomes' favorite target (see Denver game), and (5) Chief had over $21M in cap space as of last week and didnt even make Wilson a serious offer. What else is there?
No, we made a bad signing because we grossly overpaid for a slot receiver, and it was right after Tannenbaum made a statement that he wasn't going to overpay a slot receiver (see Jarvis Landry).So we made a bad signing because somebody didn’t outbid us? I don’t necessarily agree with that.
It was reported the Bears “really wanted him.”

Again, this just reinforced my point. A former coach "really wanted him", he has $40M to spend, is desperate for WR help, yet didn't think he was worth $7M. What tells you that we got a good deal?
Big difference between 4-5 million a year for Wilson and $15 million for Landry.
Every FA has been overpaid.Its ok to overpay Wilson by $4M but not overpay Landry by $4M? or Jawuan James? or any other player?
In terms of wasting cap, wasted money is wasted money.
So you think we got a good deal?Every FA has been overpaid.
No but it's the rate you pay for the players you want. We don't know what the Bears offered but they were pursuing him and maybe he preferred Miami.So you think we got a good deal?

That’s optimistic lol
I’m thinking 5-11
