No link just saw Adam Shefter report it on ESPN NFL Insiders. It's hard to know how aggressive they are with this or if they just did some shopping around to gauge interest.

Sorry to hijack board space with this. This is for a 12 team standard league with a flex position. I picked from the 11 spot. Also note that I'll get 2nd position for the breakout free agents. QB- Eli Manning, Sam Bradford RB – Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Lamar Miller WR – Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, Cecil Shorts, JoshGordon, Kendall Wright TE – Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett K – Robbie Gould D/ST - Bengals I'm hopeful...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...ut-by-dolphins/ He is another player who wont be playing this year after leaving the bears....Lance Louis (G) got cut by the dolphins

With Blanchard release it will be interesting to see if Edwards or Palmer can be out McCown for roster spots. I am not really comfortable as McCown as the number two.

Great section 228. Includes a parking pass. Let me know if anyone is intetested.

This is a breakdown of the entire OL in the 1st half versus the Raiders and the grading system is as follows, [++]: Exceptional block showing good technique, physicality and finish. [+]: Good block that may be missing one of the keys from above. [/]: Stalemate or a block that does not do much to further the success of the play. [-]: Poor block that may or may not affect the play. [--]: Incredibly poor block that leads to the plays failure or a hit on the QB. Quarter 1 Play 1: Run Right [7 Yards] Bushrod: Good physical turn out of the backside DE [+]. Slauson: Physical surge into the backside DT and stoned him on the line and did not allow …

Actually I'm looking forward to a night of football, starting with the Packers Vs. Seahawks at 7 PM and then switching to the beloved. Not sure the girlfriend is going to be as happy with that plan as I am. This weekend's game is said to be the most telling. We should see at least a minimal game plan and a half of football from our starters, possibly more. I want to see Jay distribute the ball. The offense be more diverse in general with Forte getting some good work. The D to continue to hustle to the ball, get turnovers. McFadden is a good back when healthy. Let's see what he does against the Bears D. And you?

It's nice to find an NFL player (or any pro athlete) with a sense of humor in front of the media. I get tired of all the standard cliche answers to every question. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/ The Bears' first-team offense has run approximately 30 plays in the preseason, hardly a large enough sample size to panic over Bennett not getting the football thrown his way. But when the regular season rolls around, Bennett promises that quarterback Jay Cutler will know when he's open down the field. "He sees me; I'm 6-foot-7, a big black guy running down the middle of the field. He sees me," Bennett said. "I wear white gloves so he can see the white g…

It is funny how the internet takes you down rabbit holes. First I see this article about 3 Bears players playing for the same H.S. : http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...03-85c5d4e82962 then I start reading up on Onobun, who at the time of his signing, didn't seem to draw much attention (rightfully so). However, looking at his Pro Day: this guy seems to have all the physical attributes to succeed, but only played football one year in college (and still was drafted in the 6th round), so he is still raw. With his ties to Bennett, could this guy develop into our #2 pass catching TE eventually?

Just heard on Mike and Mike that Bostic was fined for the big hit last week. Wtf? that was a legal hit, Goodell is ruining the sport.

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...ht-side-of-line Looks like the key people in the offense are liking this rookie right side...good news!

I wonder if the Bears have interest in FA CB Richard Marshall? He can play both safety and CB. Played for the Carolina Panthers before the Dolphins signed him. Might be a savy vet to replace Hayden. From rotoworld: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3703/richard-marshall Dolphins released CB Richard Marshall.Marshall is hard-nosed and versatile, but was miscast as an outside starter. Marshall could easily surface in Cleveland with Ray Horton, under whom he had his best NFL season in 2011. Marshall, 28, can play both safety and corner

Who's on the bubble? Who is in? Who is out? Who needs to earn a job in the next 10 days? Training camp is over and there's just a little over a week left before the roster gets cut down so let's start the debate. Among the DBS my biggest question mark is on Brandon Hardin....I haven't seen or heard anything of him so far. Right now I'm thinking he does not make our final roster. He has two games to turn that around and really needs to show up. If he doesn't will Emery cut one of his first draft picks after just one season? There are others at the bottom of the DB depth chart can't say I"ve paid enough attention to see who is worth keeping. WR…

Just checking if the draft order had been set based on last year's results...

Class move by Trestman.

Its August and have heard from all the leagues Im in, but havent gotten or seen anything on this league yet. Who is the Commish and has he sent the invitations yet? I havent gotten one yet, it that is the case. Let me know whats going on. thanx

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...-jordan-palmer/ So with the third QB having a break in his hand the Bears signed a new QB in Jordan Palmer. Do you think this is a good signing or should we have signed someone else?

Story in very telling of what a good front office thinks of Webb. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,1441492.story
