Bearstalk

For only benching Howard. Just pointless...

Fox Sports latest Mock has the Bears taking Mendenhall -- with both Baker/USC & Otah/Pittsburgh still available in the 2nd round. What do you think?? By the way - my first post -- long time reader (even at the old site). Mock

Article here.

Yes things are slow and John appears to be a bit bummed...

Only 1 guy worth mentioning is Melton. And it was just mentioned that figure for him would be $8.313M

According to Greg Rosenthal there's a believe that we will tag fuller. The tag is rumored to be right around $14M I'm ok with this we've got the cap room and over the course of his career so far he's only had 1 good yr the other 3 yrs we're all injury riddled yrs

Making that move which has been reported locally would cost the Bears 8 of their possible 11 million in cap space basically handicapping them to make other moves. A deal needs to be done to give the team more flexability.

Frank Omiyale with first team at left guard By Vaughn McClure As the Bears get deeper into team drills, the first team offensive line has Frank Omiyale at left guard alongside left tackle Orlando Pace. Josh Beekman, last year's starter at left tackle, is working behind Olin Kreutz at center

Absolutely undisputed worst player in NFL... my god...... he is fukkin useless

pathetic garbage... gnite before 4th quarter

edit delete or ban me but what the freak Lovie??? NFC Championship game & ya put Todd Fxxxxn Collins in??????? Thats 2 wasted drives Hell you saw the same Panthers game we did. For this alone you should be sacked Extension MY ASS

What a game!!!!!!!!!!!! Great win!! I wonder what Trent "i hate his guts" Dilfer has to say now?

Miller put on IR from shoulder injury to make room for Rideau per Biggs.

The Trib is speculating that the Bears should go after either Fred Taylor, salary cap casualty of the Jacksonville Jaguars or Duece McAllister who was released by the Saints. The Trib says that McAllister is a higher risk with his injuries that he has had since his 1,000+ yards rushing in 2006. Would it make sense to sign either Taylor or McAllister as a compliment to Forte' at this point or do you see someone else out there that is a possible free agent or someone that we may be able to draft in a later round as a compliment to Forte". I kind of like the idea of either one of these proven backs who would probably be able to mentor Forte' a bit more on the fundamentals…

I am very excited to see that we signed him as an undrafted free agent and even though his speed is put into question, id rather have a guy that can play football with a very high level of intelligence rather than have someone who is just out there to run. His stats look phenomenal and am looking forward to monitoring his progression.

Here is our top free agents, who should we bring back? WR Kennan Allen DE Darrell Taylor OL Coleman Shelton OL Teven Jenkins RB Travis Homer TE Mercedes Lewis OL Matt Pryor DE Jacob Martin I think Shelton played well enough to bring back as a backup, Jenkins on a team friendly deal and Jacob Martin is a cheap backup that has shown some since coming off injury. He was making the vet roster salary. My biggest wish is bringing in Trey Smith. Poles was there when they drafted him. With the growth of Wright and stick Smith next to him we have a power spot on the OL.

I found this article and thought it worth posting. The Bears have been very quiet regarding FA and with their recent contracts have put us in a spot with no cap room. There is no way that is the long term plan so much will be happening behind the scenes starting, as the article states, at the NFL Scouting Combine. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/How-NF...works-2784.html

Fishburn and Durkin in the athletic had some interesting ideas. They say to sign Keenum, 1 yr 5 mil Golden, 1 yr 6 mil Trade the 4th pick to ravens for Hayden Hurst (the idea that he is 3rd string in Baltimore). Was a first round pick and has big upside at 3 mil. Kevin Johnson/ CB 2 yr 7 mil ( played well at buffalo last year) Halapoulicaati Vaitai OT 3 yr 24 mil. Backup at philly that would play RG this year and take a OT spot in future. Anybody know much about Vaitai?

We resign, BB/TE. 2 yr deal above RFA cost.

Ok, so before the draft, the Bears are going to have to do some work. There are some blue chippers that will be available this year. Here are a few at key positions for the Bears to consider: DT - Chris Jones, Justin Madubuike, Christian Wilkins, Leonard Williams, DJ Reader Edge - Josh Allen, Brian Burns, Danielle Hunter, Bryce Huff, Josh Uche C - Connor Williams, Andre James, Lloyd Cushenberry S - Antoine Winfield Jr., Kyle Dugger, Kamren Curl, Xavier McKinney WR2 - Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Mike Evans, Marquise Brown, Calvin Ridley, Gabe Davis, Tyler Boyd, Curtis Samuel TE2 - Dalton Schultz, Noah Fant, Gerald Everett RG - Kevin Dotson, Robert H…
