Bearstalk

He's been released by the Giants. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...s.ap/index.html

I just heard on the "Tirico & Van Pelt" show that Arizona is now considering "2nd round pick and other options" for Boldin. Not sure what kind of contract he is looking for though...

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/...negative-grade/ So PFF is taking a lot of heat for a crazy grade given to Rodgers for his game against KC. Some hilarious tweets in regards to this: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/648856080945147904

Just a reminder that he leads the league in field goals (yes that is more a sign of our offense not scoring TD's) but he also leads the league in 50+ yard field goals and despite his two different 2 miss games, is still middle of the road in overall accuracy. It was a crappy game, but its amazing how so many want to just kick him to the curb after years of being one of the more accurate kickers in the league (while kicking in a relatively hostile weather environment).

There are many reasons why the Bears could go either way on the TE issue, but I believe getting rid of Bennett makes the most sense for a few reasons. 1. He has a $6M+ cap hit next year. He'll want a contract extension/raise, again, and Miller will require much less money. That $6M+ is way more than Bennett's worth, especially considering the following: 2. He appears to be a character concern. He's one of those odd players who wants to do way more stuff than just football, similar to one of the main anti-Marshall comments. The fact that he skipped the entire voluntary offseason program doesn't gain support from the coaching staff either. 3. Statistically, …

No surprise here. Can't let that man walk.

This is not good. White has not looked very good in pre-season either. If neither of these 1st round picks work out for Pace, he's not going to last very long here. These aren't the kind of things you want to be hearing about the #9 pick in the draft. I appreciate Fangio's honesty, though. Hopefully it doesn't take him that long to get in shape and he can produce, despite the skepticism.

Anyone you guys are looking at hoping to land?

Bears signed DE Akiem Hicks to a four-year, $48 million extension. I really hope he stays as dominant as he has looked for the life of the contract.

Viking drove him into the ground on a questionable late hit. No need for the extra contact after throw as released. I hate Rodgers, but it sucks for the league when stars get hurt.

I wonder if people still think the OL should be ignored...

With the news that stud LSU P Brad Wing is going pro, would he or any other college or FA punter interest you? Podlesh was 21st in average last year and is 30th this year. While he was 6th in net last year, he's 19th this year. He's due a bit over a million every year until 2016.

1-20: Barrett Jones G/C/T - He will be immediately be put at LT 2-50: Shayne Skov MLB/OLB - The New B-Lach... watch at 00:35 4-116: Carrington Byndom CB/DB - 5-160's: Braxston Cave G/C - Again coolest name ever 6-190's: Denard Robinson WR/QB/ST - Eh, what the hell... Free Agency ----- OLB Ray Maluaga WR Devery Henderson OG anyone under 27....

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...preview-ot#more Does the new Offensive Coor./OL bring Bushrod in? Beatty or Albert.. I have a feeling KC will let him go and keep Bowe franchised again, but who knows.

This is cool enough to share in a few places. This graphic from the Guardian shows how every team in the NFL has used its cap space, broken down by offense/defense and by position. One could waste a couple hours in this. Bears spent the 5th most on their offense in the league. Found that interesting.

Rotoworld... Plenty of cap space?? WHAAA?? Longs injuries scare the hell outta me.

For all you Webb lovers, it ok, he wont be cut. He will either be the RT or swing tackle. Bushrod is an upgrade, the Bears believe that, Kromer believes that. There are in a better position to judge that than we are. We got better today and thats all that matters.

Just taking the temperature of the board - I sense a lot of resistence to Manti Te'o, but I wonder if he's become underrated at this point. So I'm wondering, what is the earliest you would be OK with having the Bears draft Te'o? Assume for the purposes of the question that either Ogletree or Brown are gone by #20 (but not both). 1) #20 overall 2) Trade down, but pick still in the 1st round 3) Trade down, but pick in the early 2nd round 4) #50 5) Don't want him
