Whoa. Ryan Pace traded away a future fourth-round draft pick to select Trevis Gipson in the fifth round. Why on earth is Pace continuing to trade away the Chicago Bears’ future assets? Well, in this case, it could be because the Bears are predicted to earn three compensatory picks in 2021.
Today marked the end of the compensatory eligible free agents. What does this mean? Well, from this point on, whoever teams add to their roster will not affect the formula used to determine compensatory picks for next year’s draft. What does this mean for the Chicago Bears?
