Question: would you trade the 1st, 2nd, and two 3rd's for Calvin Johnson? I know I would really consider that thought and think this Justin Blackmon can be a Terrell Owens or Calvin Johnson type of threat. If by chance Justin Blackmon falls to the 5th pick that will equal 1700 points on the trade value chart. Our 1, 2, and 3's will equal 1700 points. After watching the bowl game and knowing he wasn't 100% healthy and he absolutely destroyed his competetion shows me he will excel in the NFL and be a top 5 WR. Just a nugget to consider, we do have ammo to go up to pick #5. Also, I think he comes across as a good high character guy. How about Micheal Floyd, some …

for pushing the blocker into the punt at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Great, great play. Just keep him off the field on offiense. Peace

Just saw Tommie Harris in last nights episode of Criminal Minds on DVR. The good part is, he really sucks at acting. So, he'll have more time to focus on earning his pay check.

Ravens back out of the deal - will be interesting to see what the new going rate for Crosby is.

To the Ravens. For two firsts.

http://www.nfl.com/freeagency/story?id=090...mp;confirm=true Great signing for them

Anytime you have needs, tons of names thrown out there by everybody. with McPhee and rookie pool, 14 mil already off the pool 9 that puts us at 18 mil, unless Mcphees contract is structured creatively . I will predict who and why(of course I will be wrong,nature of the beast) Safety- we know the draft is light so we definitely grab one in FA-Searcy/Balt ( young and upside) ILB - we have some players but nobody is a sure thing, we grab one here--Foster/TB (young and upside) CB- this may not be today, all the stupid big contracts will fly today-----Cox/SF DL- this may not be today we have very little in bodies at this position-Adrian Clayborn/T…

Comcast is reporting the Bears are reaching out to Josh McCown who is still unsigned since they cut him before the season.This might indicate the Bears may be trying to be careful with Cutler since he has suffered multiple concussions in his career and they would be big hippocrates after hosting a press conference on Sunday featuring Otis Wilson, Gary Fencik and Ted Phillips about concussions.

Tennessee (17) Palmer will come out of slump against Tennessee, plus the problems that Vince Young has been having recently. Buffalo (10) The RB dual will have trouble with a lack of the OL for Jacksonville, but the god-awful defense on the Bills can't stop them regardless. Oakland (17) JaMarcus Russell showed yesterday that he wasn't ready for a win, and I believe that this week will be no different. Especially with the way that the Oakland OL looked, and with Dorsey pushing hard for KC, I expect an easy win for KC. Minnesota (17) > Indianapolis (14) With Indy's recent troubles, and how badly they looked and played against the Bea…

Hub Arkush hears Cullen Jenkins & Bears might have a deal in place #Bears #News http://chicagofootballtalk.com/lol

signed a 5 year deal with the Eagles

I caught a short clip of it on the radio, said he was pissed about pass protection?? Anyone hear more about it? Not a good sign with the Oline being one of the big question marks of this season.

Just read that Jacksonville will hire Ian. I just woke up in Thailand so I haven't followed up on this story but you guys probably have more input. That adds pick 98 if true ( I think)

Never know what the season will bring but this article seems to be the closest thing to what the truth will be with the Bears this season. Way too many ??? to be a promising season. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...,7287264.column

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...h-new-york-jets From what little I have seen of him, I like him. However, not as a solitary option for wide reciever.

If the season ended today, the Bears would have the 6th pick, tied with NYG and SEA, so they would rotate picks every round. So they lost a 1st and 4th for Fields, and 7th with Miller, and got back a 5th for Miller. Since HOU is terrible, that ends up as a very high 5th. The Bears got Borom and Herbert in the 5th last year. With the following picks, I would love to see the new GM move down on either Pick 37 or 71 and pick up a 4th rounder. That would give them 5 picks in the top 150, which is decent. With those 5 picks, you get a WR1, CB2, C, S, and BPA (WR, CB, or ILB). I would be happy with a draft like that. They would still have a solid 6th rounder to use a…

Our effective rookie salary pool is about 3.1M which means we are just under 8M in available cap space to use on FA (or resigning existing players). That is more money than I thought. I presume we will keep some in reserve for in-season need signings (as long as use some of the space on future extensions) but I also am guessing when vets get cut we will be in a pretty good position.

Link Pretty interesting. They've covered a lot of ground and plugged plenty of holes already.
