Chester Taylor visiting Bears on Friday, too Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2010 12:48 AM ET Defensive end Julius Peppers won't be the only potential new Bears who's hanging out at Halas Hall on Friday. Running back Chester Taylor will be there, too. Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Taylor is expected to visit the Bears on the first day of free agency. In the Mike Martz offense, Taylor could be a Mike Martz/Priest Holmes-style weapon, given his ability to catch the ball. Except when it's squirting out of his hands, and then being intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Redskins out, Bears in for Peppers Posted by Mike…

Since it was reported that the Bears are out of the race for the high priced Rolle who should we go after either Atogwe from the Rams, Clark from the Steelers or even Sharper from the Saints. Who would you pick for the upgrade?

Bears | Comment (0) Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:53:04 -0800 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports free-agent TE Brandon Manumaleuna (Chargers) will visit the Chicago Bears Friday, March 5.

I would personally keep Clark around for 1 more year. McKie should have been gone 2 years ago instead of Lousaka Polite. Peace

Rolle, having not even been on a plane, was redirected away from NY. Heard a tidbit on ESPN/Mike and Mike

The Bears could come home with 3 of the top free agents today. They are waisting little time!

Bodden drawing interest from four teams Mar 5 3/5/2010 8:28:05 AM | More Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times reports via Twitter CB Leigh Bodden is drawing interest from the following teams: Houston, Seattle, New England, Pittsburgh, according to a league source. www.theredzone.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maybe we could finally put Tillman at Safety? If we are unable to land Rolle/Atogwe... Of course Id rather have a real FS which there are two available

Bears | Manumaleuna agrees to terms Comment (0) Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:07:28 -0800 Jeff Dickerson, of ESPNChicago.com, reports the Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent TE Brandon Manumaleuna (Chargers) on a five-year deal, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/03/so...ng_imminen.html Wow if that's true, that's awesome! Still not reading too much into this report until it's actually official but I thought he was looking for something like 16 million a year.

@Adam_Schefter: Taylor reaches agreement w/Bears on a 4-year, $12.5 million deal that includes $7 million gtd in year 1

Bernstein just said there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, adding "draft day will be VERY interesting"

according to ESPN radio the Sun-times is reporting he is signed 6yrs 72 million with 37 million guaranteed

Dont like the signing. Unless we already have a deal for Rolle/Atogwe... i dont see why they moved so fast. FS is a desperate need and relying on a 3rd rounder is BS Getting Chester Taylor is certainly a great back to have, but i dont like not filling a major need first

Allright MadLith (and all other non-Lovie advocates), I will concede that if Lovie and Co. cannot pull it together this year and at the very least make it to the playoffs, away he (and they) go. With the additions of Peppers, Taylor, Manumaleuena (sp?), Cutler and who else??? then there is absolutely no excuse the Bears should not be contenders for the upcoming year...or for a few afterwards. This is another fantastic day in Bears history.

Dez Clark refused to do interviews on the air (AM 1000 ESPN) because he reached out to the Bears and they have not returned his calls after the the signing of the TE today. He said as much in intervieiews after the season that he thought he could be replaced and with him already recieving a 475,000 dollar roster bonus and only due 1.5 mil he shouldn't be a cap casualty this year but it may come down to keeping him or Olsen.

The press conference from Halas Hall is scheduled for 5:00 pm CST
