The Bears are talking to WR Dominick Hixon, formally of the panthers. What do you think.

Makes sense I guess now that they lose out on a good safety and Julius Peppers was released.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 52s While Denver focuses on DeMarcus Ware…Vikings free-agent DE Jared Allen is talking with the Bears and Seattle Seahawks, per league source. They're not done at DE it seems. Deepening on the $$$ it could end up being a real good signing. Competing with Seattle scares me a bit since he'll probably be looking to win a title.

Houston, Mundy, and Senn? 1 starter and massive needs at Safety, CB, and DL. I know it is only Day 1 but we didnt get Ward or Mitchell, and will probably lose Melton, Tillman, and McCown. At this point we are taking another step back on defense if we dont add an impact FA. That scares me.

So with Hester and his "one dimensional" contribution possibly leaving Chicago, maybe a player like Sproles could be the replacement? He's multi dimensional (to include returning kicks) and is familiar to OC Kromer. Not exactly the 'change of pace' back I think most envision, especially with Bush gone. But maybe a good option as third down back behind Forte(?)

Need huge holes in D filled

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 5s Bears announced they are releasing DE Julius Peppers.

Falcons Release - Safety Thomas Decoud Is this guy any good? http://atlantafalcons.blog.ajc.com/2014/03...-thomas-decoud/

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/boards/topic...-senn-to-bears/ Presume this is a ST signing?

Competition for Conte Bench spot

Whitner to Cleveland, Ward to Broncos https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter

Was just released. Would Chicago be able to use him? More importantly would he cost much? Ratliff and he reunited??

5 YEARS 35Million, per score

I was close

Per Josina Anderson. Interesting since teams aren't supposed to talk numbers.

Lamar Houston DT/DE - 5.25M Mike Mitchell - 3.5M Dexter McCluster - 2.75M Kendrick Lewis - 1 year deal James Anderson Charles Tillman Peppers stays 1. Anthony Barr - ILB new team leader 2. Ego Furgeson - DT 3. Stanley JEAN-Baptiste -DB will be safety after a year or two 4. Josh Mauro - DE 5. Bryan Stork - C

His market value is pretty low with all younger guys cut. .. Pretty sure he retires a bear. I still think we draft a starter in the 3rd or 4th. ..

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 30m Source: #Bears are now targeting #Raiders star defensive end Lamarr Houston after missing out on Michael Bennett. They are pushing hard No surprise here. one thing we know for sure is the Bears want the best DE they can get, which is obviously the way to go.

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 1m Release of Michael Bush clears $2.85 million in cash savings. Bears news is flying around everywhere right now. Title edit for your viewing pleasure.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 5m Bears calling around the league, seeing if they can find a trade partner for DE Julius Peppers, per sources. Trade unlikely... C'mon Lovie!
