Bearstalk

Vaughn McClure of the Tribune is reporting we have signed Okoye to a 1 year deal. I'm excited. Not even Terra can piss in my cereal now lol

Zach Zaidman just tweeted that we have signed Marion Barber. I like Barber but this move confuses me. Can anyone make since of this move

We have to say things have been interesting so far. These are new players that could impact our roster. Now we need to add a couple of OLs and a cornerback and this could be an interesting year. Resigned Hanie/qb-rookie Enderle/qb Marion Barber/rb Hurd/WR-Williams/WR-Fantuz/WR Spaeth/TE-Smith/TE rookie Linnerholm/OC rookie Guards 000000000000000000 Carmi/OT rookie Podlesh/P Gholstein/DE Paea/DT rookie-Okeye/DT-Adams/DT resigned Roach/OLB resigned-Thomas/OLB rookie-DeCicco/LB rookie Harris/CB resigned-Bryan/CB rookie

every single signing is former busts and potential. Not one OL, no LBs, CBs, what is this regime thinking?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,4080152.column I like what I am reading. I was wondering how he would outwardly deal with all the "goings on" in his life as of late. It looks like we have an idea and perhaps, an answer.

Peppers and Izzy are penciled in at DE. Gholston will spell them in rotation. Adams plays the DT/NT position. But who starts at DT? Harrison, Melton, Big Toe, Omobi? Where do Wooten and Gilbert fall into the mix? Seems like there are too many bodies in the mix.

I'm hearing that the Seachickens asked Lofa to take a pay cut. He said and has now asked for him release and it sounds like the team will relunctly release him. I'd like to bring him in. Briggs, Urlacher and Lofa would be a. Very dangerous trio and he does have ties to Ruskell.

The best I can tell the new players will cost 13 million this year. We got rid of Olsen, Malaumaa, with Taylor and Harrison to follow. That will add 6. 75 million back in the pool. We pay Kreutz 4.5 and figure the new contract of Forte will cost around 5 to 7 this year. The rookies will cost around 7 mill. So the best I can figure we still have 10 to 12 mill spend this year. I think we can get Kelvin Hayden/cb, Dockery/OG, Jamal Brown/OT and Matt Roth/olb with the remainder of the cap. I suspect that if we do sign a couple more OL that we could cut Williams and maybe a guard Louis and save another 1.6 mil.

Thanks for the great 13 years. Best of luck moving forward. You will always be a Bear IMO. Peace

At least IMHO. Cut loose the following C Taylor, Omyale, Harrison, Sign Justin Blalock Line the looks like this Carimi, Blalock, Spencer Garza Webb Swing tackle C Williams I would fell much better about that then anything we got now.

When do we sign Leonard Davis?.... ANyone hear of any new rumors for Bears Oline?

I was thinking of possibly getting a new banner here. I don't have the photoshop skills, but perhaps someone else does. So here, I ask you to vote for 3 (if only 2 can fit in the banner, then that's fine and whoever can take the top 2) players who you'd like to see in the new banner.

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...forte-challenge He's your best player numbnuts. Not only have you wasted entire draft classes, but you spent 6M on a useless TE, 7M on a washed up RB Who is this guy?

This is the 10th year I've been to training camp and I enjoyed it as usual, although it was limited with no pads. 1. D.J. Moore was the first guy out and shook hands with people for 20 minutes. Good guy. 2. When practice was starting, I saw JA & Lovie having a serious discussion between the fields. Lovie then went to Tice. I figured then it was about Kreutz. 3. I saw Roy Williams and said, "holy shit." Damn he looks impressive. He's tall, lean, chiseled. While he didn't practice, he passes "the look" test. 4. Matt Spaeth is built like Greg Olsen. I don't see how he can be a great blocker. Manu was 6-0 300. Spaeth is 6-7 260. 5. There was no p…

Just reading the Trib and they are saying Angelo doesn't act like he'll sign another o-lineman. If he was going to do that, wouldn't he have done it already? The Bears have not shown interest in signing a guard. We made offers to Colon & the LT from NO. No guards. Does this mean we're happy with Chris Williams at Guard? Unless something changes real quick, here's what we'll have: LT: The bad Frank Omiyale or rookie Carimi. Most experts project Carimi better suited to play RT. LG: The bad Chris Williams or the bad Lance Louis. C: Spencer: Most consider him worse then Kreutz. RG: Roberto Garza: I hope his age doesn't start to show RT: J W…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,0,779552.story Could be a viable partnering. If on the cheap. Having a deep CB pool is something of high value. Especially with someone like "Peanut" at the sunset of his career.

I guess he is deciding to watch his daughter go through her athletic career.
