Bearstalk

The Bears have signed S Kevin Byard to a 2 year deal. Details are not yet available. This is a HUGE move. He's been a perennial All Pro. Our secondary is stacked now. Poles has filled the two glaring holes in our roster (C and FS) and free agency hasnt even started yet. That's not to say he won't do more at center. These moves are also a sign that he's not trading the #1 pick.

Viking drove him into the ground on a questionable late hit. No need for the extra contact after throw as released. I hate Rodgers, but it sucks for the league when stars get hurt.

Kurt Warner is expected to announce his retirement on Friday. Could the Bears turn to Martz for their OC position and than offer Warner a job as our QB coach. I realize Warner would have a lot to prove, but he makes quick reads, gets rid of the ball quickly, and would be a pretty good role model for Cutler. Just throwing it out there since evidently NFL network is reporting that Warner wants to pursue coaching or the broadcast booth when he retires.

Which mock drafts are the most reliable? Whose opinion do you trust the most? (I'm getting excited for the draft............. if you can't tell)

Ted Ginn agrees to 1 year deal

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0206-story.html I hope he is never offered another HC job. Peace

I love that they always work to get this stuff done early. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=5853 Peace

https://twitter.com/BobLeGere https://twitter.com/CSNMoonMullin Some Fuller comments in other thread. O'Donnell is a stud, 70 yards punts, we are going to be pinning teams back this year.

When will we find an identity? Maybe it is what the media gives us, but it seems we don't have a leader on that side that rallys the troops. When the defense takes the field, we should be on the edge of our seats. We should see LBs mug the line, question the O with alignment movement, and consistant attacks from different personnel. Besides Fuller and Young, who else has shined? Maybe Kyle Fuller develops into that leader vocally and performance, but I would like to see a MLB or S since they are usually calling the alignments and blitzes. The way our roster is composed contract wise, the Bears really shouldn't draft a high LB unless one can be all that. Four guys to kee…

Sports Mockery is reporting that sources tell them that Nagy is going hard after Dave Toub to be his special teams coordinator. If he lands both Fangio and Toub as his coordinators that would be unbelievable.

I can't remember this many 1 year deals... Ever since Bennett and Bushrod I'm pretty sure every contract has been one year...

Round 1: Trade Back to Pick 34 Round 2-34: Arthur Brown LB Round 2-50: Justin Pugh OL Round 3-64: Barrett Jones - C/G Round 4-117: Dwayne Gratz CB Round 5: Traded Round 6-188: Matt Scott QB Round 7: Joe Fauria TE

They may have won the NFC and SB, but they still lost the division...truth, that makes them losers! And they fell short if the goal is beat the [rival], win the division, win the SB. So Lovie is not impressed. Now it's time for all their free agents to cash in and can go be overpaid to play on other teams. Detroit will finish with a higher record and we won't have to worry about almost beating them with our 3rd string QB. You know, just an unbiased commentary...

Reports are he is one of their primary focuses (vs. Saquon). I know the name is less sexy but this would be a really good get. He's still young and he's a really good football player. With rookie QB, Bears can afford to splurge a bit at RB (and it saves them from having to use another draft pick on the position in a draft where they don't have a ton of picks).

I doubt anything will happen, but http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....-lose-to-b.html I wonder if brandon lloyd keeps performing well we sign him long term or we watch him walk...

Like many I have the Bears Official Website as one of my Home Pages, the primary (have Vista ;-() I was amazed at the change in the site. For years visiting other sites I always felt the Bears site was very "low tech" compared to some others. Now, all I can say is WOW. They have done a great job of improving the site.

I am saying this tonight as I was predicting with friends in the offseason. Brett Favre will quit during the season. They will pull some injury BS or whatever, but he's done and goes out tarnishing a stellar career. ____________________Where it all started _______________________

I love this signing, instant upgrade to Special Teams and can take the top off the defense. He will replace Bellamy, White production.

Heard Trent Dilfer talking QB's yesterday. Of one of the topics, he said Cutler would join the ELITE club this year. He talked about his tougness and maturity. Even mentioned that his body language changed. We all know Cutler has great talent, but I saw what Dilfer saw last year. Looking for great things from JC this year!
