But now Cutler’s not even on the continent. Cutler accompanied his girlfriend, Kristin ­Cavallari, on a trip to Kenya with the non-profit One Kid One World, which focuses on rebuilding schools and ­providing supplies to ­students and teachers in Kenya and El Salvador. On March 8, ­Cavallari posted on her Twitter ­account that s…

What do you guys think of the whole Jay Cutler nightlife fiasco that the media is currently playing out. I think the Chicago media (especially the papers) have no clue anymore. This is probably one of the biggest weeks were you can generate interest in your product by building up a buzz about the draft and prospects, but they failed to do so and instead make it out that it is "evil" to go out on your time and have a good time. No wonder they are losing out and eventually going to have to fold. It cracked me up listening to the score tonight and some "nerd" called in and compared Cutler to a CEO of a company and that it was not proper for them to hit the club and have…

lemonej brought up an interesting point during the post on the new rookies' numbers and Moore having Mike Brown's old number. And then mentioned other instances in the past... I have no problem with it. However, my thought is that if the players' number in question is in the HoF, we should retire that jersey! Ie. 99 needs to be retired NOW!

I searched online for a bunch of mock drafts and here is what I found: mynfldraft.com 1. Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina 2. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson nfl.com (Jeremiah) 1. Kevin Minter, MLB, LSU nfl.com (Brooks) 1. Manti Te’o, MLB, Notre Dame nfl.com (Norris) 1. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama nfl.com (Brandt) 1. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford nfl.com (Davis) 1. Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma nfl.com (Breer) 1. Manti Te'o, MLB, Notre Dame walterfootball (Walt) 1. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama 2. Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia 4. Vance McDonald, TE, Rice walterfootball (Charlie) 1. Kevin Minter, MLB, LSU 2. Menelik Watson, T,…

The latest Watlers mock draft, has us taking #1 Arthur Brown/LB #2 Larry Warford/OG #4 Josh Boyce/WR That is a mock I can get behind.Love it.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,5277672.story I thought there was a good chance he'd sign with the Queens...If they don't want him then I don't see him getting a job anywhere to start the season.

Brad Biggs is reporting that Cutler's contract is written so that the Bears can convert portions of the contract to a bonus status, so that it can be spread out. Trib posted the article at 8:00PM tonight They are calling it a automatic conversion clause that allows the Bears to convert salary to bonus whenever they wish and it will be allocated over the contract years.

2. Mohammad Massaqoui, WR, Georgia ---Do I like him this early? No. But the organization does. 3. Darcel McBath, FS, Texas Tech ---Talk about rising talk? This guy was a 6th rounder 2 months ago. 4. Jason McCourty, CB, Rutgers ---CB depth. 5. Orion Martin, DE, Virginia Tech ---DL toy for Marinelli. 5. Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse ---Best FB in the draft, IMO. McKie doesn't get it done. 7. Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State ---WR depth. 7. John Gill, DT, Northwestern ---DT depth and the team likes him. Thoughts (this could all change by signing Holt or Burress)?

I know it's far-fetched, but suppose the Bears went Notre Dame heavy. 1. Ronnie Stanley, OT 2. Jaylon Smith, ILB 3. 4. Sheldon Day, DT 5. KeiVarae Russell, CB 6. Romeo Okwara, DT 6. Elijah Shumate, SS 6. C.J. Prosise, RB 7. Pick who you want in the 3rd and 7th. What's your result? Would you be happy with the overall draft?

Cleveland is hunting, and wants to move up from 12. https://twitter.com/MikeSilver/status/857307213794349057 Pace has taken calls about the #3 pick. https://twitter.com/CEmma670/status/857251302572789762 Let's make it happen!! Cleveland gives their #12, their 2nd rounder, their 3rd rounder, and a 6th rounder to the Bears for #3.

Williams' Bear Debut May Be Near According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times we may see Williams on the field a lot sooner than many of us thought. Now I see why they kept him on the roster. I doubt we see him as a starter until after our bye week but according to the article we might see him test the waters a few snaps before the bye.

Bears | Team signs Pakulak Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:11:27 -0800 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears signed P Glenn Pakulak (Titans) to a futures contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

So the Bears are the biggest players in free agency, for sure, but they aren't the only ones. The Lions are making some aggressive moves of their own: so far, they've inked Nate Burleson from the Seahawks and Kyle Vanden Bosch from the Titans, plus they traded to get Corey Williams from the Browns. None of those are blockbuster moves like the Peppers signing, but they're all pretty smart, I think. Burleson isn't a great #1 receiver, but as a #2 paired with Calvin Johnson, he's miles better than Bryant Johnson or anybody else on Detroit's roster. I think he could be a credible complementary receiver, which they haven't had in a while. As for KVB and Williams, I …

Allegedly wants out of Houston. Asking for a trade. Should the Bears?

It's really early, but maybe since the college season starts Next Sat (Aug 28th) we can start our wish lists. My season prediction was 4-12 so that would put us with the 3rd overall pick. 1-1 Atl Michael Oher OT 1-2 Stl Michael Crabtree WR 1-3 Chi Matt Stafford QB GA Would love to see Oher here, but the Bears can't afford another season w/o a QB ---------------------------------------- 2-34 Chi Herman Johnson RG LSU 2nd guard on the board, big, good run blocker 3-67 Chi Louis Vasquez LG Tex Tech Big bodied G that will be good at pass blocking and run blocking 4-99 Chi Marko Mitchell WR Nev at 6-4 200, he has good 40 speed 4.45. …

Naturally I missed the game. Looks like our young LBs played well, as did the Dline. Jay throwing for 381yds didn't hurt either.

Has anybody heard when they will be releasing the full NFL schedule for the upcoming season?

Anyone figure out who our starting WR are? I haven't really seen this listed anywhere and the Bears website still shows 4 guys as co-starters.

So this is old news, but hey it's the offseason. After the Vikings canned Childress they hired Bill Musgrave - the Falcons' QB coach - to be their offensive coordinator. I don't know how Musgrave is as an Xs and Os guy, but his track record developing QBs is seriously impressive. If history's any indicator, the Bears might have to watch out for the Vikings' QB (whoever it is) in 2011. Check out the QBs Musgrave has worked with: 1997 (Raiders) - got Jeff George to throw for over 3,900 yards, 29 TDs, 9 picks, 91.2 QB rating. 1999-2000 (Panthers) - got Steve Beuerlein to throw for over 4,400 yards, 36 TDs, 15 picks, 94.6 QB rating in 1999. Beuerlein made the Pr…
