Future GM BearSox presents to you... CAP ROOM TO BEGIN: 14 Million (subtract 5 mil. for rookie pool) CUTS: -Adam Archuleta (2 mil) -Ricky Manning Jr. (1.8 mil) -Fred Miller (4 mil) -Terrence Metcalf (1 mil) -Darwin Walker (break even) CAP AFTER CUTS: 22.8 Million RESIGNINGS: Mike Brown - restructure contract to 1 year at 1 million with 3 mil. worth of incentives... possibly save 1 mil. Ruben Brown - resign to a 1 year deal worth 1 million with a 1.5 million bonus Lance Briggs - resign to the same type of deal as Urlacher, 6 years 56 million. 13 million dolar signing bonus. Would make around 7 million first season Bernard Berrian - Franchise…

If the first quarter is any indicator, we're going to see a repeat of last year. The offense is going to have to score 30 ppg to even be in some of these games. I have zero faith in Mel Tucker. Also, Briggs is done. He can't run anymore.

Hester didn't show up to TC today. (neither did Tillman, Kreutz, Dvoracek, and another player, but that's for another thread at another time). Thoughts??

Cutler: 23-30, 297 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT Forte: 16 rushes, 61 yards, 5 catches, 98 yards Knox: 6 catches, 67 yards, 1 TD Olsen: 3 catches, 29 yards, 1 TD Aromashodu: 4 catches, 45 yards, 1 TD Bears 33-9

Time to get the meatheads all steamed up. Tim Tebow should be our backup QB.

Big day today! Draft Picks: Round 4: picks #19 (117) #26 (124) #29 (127) Round 5: pick #11 (150) Round 6: picks #10 (185) & #31 (206) Round 7: pick #9 (230) I'm glad it's raining here in Central Illinois so I have the perfect excuse to waste the entire day following the draft!

After his quotes on the Final Word last night about the media and the fans, he can go. Paraphrasing - "Our fans are the only fans in the division that boo their team." "Two people I don't care about - the fans and the media. They obviously don't know what they are talking about." Goodbye, Brian. Go fxxk yourself. Peace

Win out and youre in.

It is a little late, but in honor of ITC3, I'll take over running the draft contest this year. Please submit a first round mock draft to me via email (preferably in excel) to Bullsback@gmail.com . Please list from the #1 pick in the round to the last pick in the first round (you don't need to put the team name down as I will solely be looking at where a player is picked, not by whom they are picked). The person who has the most correct picks (regardless of trades, I will just go down the list and if the guy is picked at the number you said you will get one point) wins. I have no idea what the tie-breaker would be, but maybe someone can come up with someth…

Bears try to make it 2 straight against the Boys, in the house that Jerry Jones built. Here's your game thread.

I know we've all penciled in OLB as a need in the first two rounds, but the more I look at the roster, the more I'm questioning it: - McPhee will be a starter and while he'll probably move all over, but figures to spend most of his time at OLB. - Pace has said Young, Allen, and Houston will all start as potential OLBs. I personally see Houston and probably Allen as a better fit at DE, but I can see Young locking down the other OLB. - Even if he doesn't, I think most of us see Christian Jones as a starter, and his best position is probably OLB in a 3-4, though maybe ILB isn't out of the question. - I can actually see David Bass being very effective as …

Just checking in to see if we will be continuing our TalkBears Keeper and non-Keeper leagues this year? I believe Drunkbomber is the Commish for the keeper league, but I have not seen him on here in a month or so. With that said, are the past managers still interesting in continuing the leagues this year? Any other members wanting to join in?

Didn't know where to put this. I heard Jarrett, Dexter, Sweat, and Booker are working out together in Florida with a pass rush specialist.( Didn't see his name mentioned.) Clearly Jarrett had to have a lead role in putting this together. I thought this shows a leadership position getting players together. I also heard Olin Kreutz saying he was working with Kiran A at his gym. These are the type of commitments that is going make this team jell.

Denver favored by a point; our offense seems to have the advantage and their defense has the edge. Very similar to the Rams game, except we are at home. No Ware for Denver, so that will help our offense, and Osweiler in at QB. He is probably better than Manning at this point, but he is error-prone and if we can get some pressure, I feel like we will have the edge. As many have mentioned, we need a win to have any realistic chance at the playoffs. We are also 1-3 at home, something we need to improve on. Bears 27 - Broncos 16

NFL QBR - 68.1 puts him at 10th Yards - 1676 puts him 4th Comp %- 68.1 puts him 5th TD's - 13 puts him 5th INT- 6 puts him at tied at 7th -----this is the one that needs to stay put at 6! I already know what Cutler Haters are going to say, its the WTF plays (INT) and I get that. But you have to admit his numbers are a lot better than before Trestman came to town. Projected 2014 as of today Comp 416 ATT 611 Yards 4,469 % 68.1 TD's 35 INT 16 QBR 68.1 Rating 97.4 If you asked me if I would be happy with these numbers before the season I would be. I'm hoping the TD to I…

Sorry for the lateness of thread, I was traveling.

to all those who thought mikey was just the gardener the truth will set you free... who teddy, angelo AND lovie are really accountable to: a 1000 year old unwrapped mummy and mike mccaskey. it really is business as usual and has been since phillips took over.

I know we posted some in other threads, but I thought it could use its own with how many we are going to do between now at April. Here is one I did with PFF's Mock Draft Simulator, just one trade down for a 3rd and a 5th. Still picked up Johnson (which is unlikely), but hey. Johnson is a no-brainer if there. Went for great value at #71 and got a great athlete to pair with Smith at LB. Moore becomes the defacto starting Slot WR. Domann is a hybrid LB-DB that can lineup almost anywhere on the defense. With so many sub packages, he would be perfect for big Nickel. Watson is the big WR we have needed, could play opposite of Mooney on the outside. Flott is 6'2" so h…

Cutler: 20-34, 234 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT Forte: 13 rushes, 36 yards, 3 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD Taylor: 5 rushes, 17 yards Hester: 2 catches, 35 yards, 1 TD Bears 23-20

According to Mulligan on 670 the Score, Jerry is Done. Not sure if its fired or retired.
