Link @caplannfl 4m Lance Louis agreed to a one-year deal, 3-4 other teams were interested, but it came down to the Dolphins giving him a chance to start.

Since we lost Urlacher, Roach and Hayes and gained Williams and Anderson and maybe another in the draft or FA are we better or the same at our LB core? Williams Anderson http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=B_RVGbhGcvk

2012 C Garza G Carimi G Brown T Webb T Scott 2013 C Garza G Long G Slauson T Bushrod T Webb, Scott, Carimi Huge difference interior wise and on left side. Iam sure this will be much better then prior years and could be solid for many years to come.

Looking at what has been done after the season my top acquisition has been narrowed down to 2 Bushrod and Kasheem(sp?) Greene. I think both are solid players and will make an impact next year and probably take over for Briggs when he is a cap casualty next year.

To get myself to chill with all this 12-4 talk, I took a look at the Bears performance on defense. We're on a pace to give up 408 points. We gave up 277 last year. In fact, only 8 teams last year gave up that many points and guess what... Not one of them was a playoff team. You can sugarcoat this any way you like but if this trend continues, the Bears aren't going anywhere this year. I don't care how good Cutler and Forte turn out to be. The D needs to improve and they can start by getting a little pressure on the opposing QB.

How pathetic

In the locker room, as per Michael C. Wright. I am sure we will find out soon. I wonder if it is players or coaches or both.

So we signed Cutler,Gould,Jennings and Slauson and will sign more shortly....as for needs who do we get with the first pick? I think it will or should be a FS or SS. All our secondary are FA ( Waters, Tillman, Wright, Steltz, Bowman, Hayden) and Conte is just not cutting it

An article in NFL Mocks website had an article talking about the Bears making many 2nd tier players instead of a couple big names I think this is more on FAgency pans out instead of the Byrds and Bennetts. http://nflmocks.com/2014/03/04/chicago-bea...fl-free-agency/

Just on the score....Jay Ratliff signs 2 year deal. Wating to hear detail. Great start to rebuilding this D, having an all pro!

With Orton taking over at Quarterback it is obvious that the Bears (while not mathematically eliminated) are looking towards next season. The question is should the Bears start to take a similar route with the offensive line? Terrance Metcalf has shown that he clearly isn't capable of being a good offensive lineman. He is a valuable backup and I'd imagine based on his minimal cap figure we will see him back next year (in a backup role) but my question is should the Bears go out and give Beekman a chance (I think he was drafted out of ISU this past year). My immediate thought is yes, however, it should only be if he is ready because if Beekman is clearly worse th…

Matt Toeaina #75. He made 2 outstanding plays stuffing Peterson for losses. He has only been on the roster for 1 week and has made a very nice impact. Cross DT off the list of needs for next yr in the draft. Peace

Time to liquidate some assets to address the big issues. 1. Let Briggs go. He is good...but not as good as he thinks...the D was bad this year with him here IMO that means he isnt a difference maker. Besides Chicago area uteruses could use a break. 2. Trade Dez Clark...use him to move up in the draft if need be. 3. Trade Alex Brown. Same scenario. The points of 2 and 3 are to clear out where there is depth...and use some of that to obtain additional picks or pick value. 4. Dump Miller, do not re-sign Reuben. Rationale is not a good one...I am getting the vibe that Lovie and Co value veterans over talent in key areas... 4b. If nec…

Here are the top FA & Draft prospects known to date for 2008. How do we fill out our needs at this position? We obviously have to make some assumptions as to our actual needs. I would say OK at center is solid. I think Tait moves to ORT and is solid there. We have several options at OG, resign R Brown, I did not like St. Clair at OT but think he might actually be an excellent OG, Garza? ..... One of these 3 would be a good fill at OG That means we need, IMO, an OG and LOT. Here are the top FA 2008 listed by one site. How many will actually hit FA is another question... I have not followed the College scene this year and theref…

Let Berrian walk and take a chance on Walker.

The Bears signed defensive end Alex Brown to a two-year contract extension on Monday. Brown had two years left on his existing contract. Per NFL.com
