Bearstalk

Resigned to 2yr deal.

20 Desmond Trufant CB Washington I have a feeling he will be the BPA at 20 if both the top interior OL are gone. 50 Terron Armstead OT Arkansas Pine-Bluff Draft this guy and put him at LG and groom him for LT. 114 Akeem Spence DT Illinois You have Melton,Collins and Paea plus Okoye is a UFA and you just cut Toeina they need another body at this position. 146 Marcus Lattimore RB So. Carolina This is the yearly venture down injury road that the Bears take in the draft but injury issues aside, this is one of the best backs in the draft if healthy. I'm thinking with the right rehab and a year in an NFL camp he could maybe be productive like Willis McGah…

Cant argue with that. Probably beat our either of our guys

Not sure if hes any good as he shoulda been

Even the most pessimistic types have to tip the cap to the Bears for the big splash they made as free-agency season opened this week. Martellus Bennett has a chance to be more of a difference-maker at tight end than the Bears have had since Mike Ditka. As a bonus, Bennett, who joins his third team in seven years, seems delightfully flaky. DAN MCNEIL Jermon Bushrod gives the Bears something they haven't had since John Tait — a professional offensive tackle. Marc Trestman's offensive line is going to need more than just one newbie, but the former Saint instantly makes the Bears better up front, and his position — left tackle — isn't going to be change…

RT @jthom1: LT Jake Long signs four-year deal with Rams. Can earn up to $36 million. Only 9/year? Christ. For an extra 2 million annually minus 1 year, Long >>>> Bushrod. Ugh

We have a number of roster spots to fill: DT- We have Melton, Paea, Collins. We need at least one to fill a rotational role. Options (Idonije) can play both DE and DT, and as FAgency drags on, can be brought back cheap. (Sedrich Ellis) was a bust for NO, but is young enough to become a descent player. (Derek Landri) has some pass rushing skills. …

I think the Bears like Matt Blanchard as the #3, but we still need a capable #2. I can't see us spending the money it would take to get (or being a very enticing landing spot for) fringe starters like Kolb, who is apparently soon to be released, or Fitzpatrick, who already has been. Campbell had his chance here. Remaining candidates include Byron Leftwich (probably not a great fit), Brady Quinn (I could see it), or Kellen Clemons (snore). Am I crazy to think the best remaining realistic FA option is (gasp!) Rex Grossman? Or maybe we just wait to see who gets released after the draft?

Not a surprise, but it's official. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-f...-2013-nfl-draft

RT @mortreport: Teams interested in Matt Hasselbeck: AZ, Buff, Chi, Cin, Cleve, Indy, NO, NYG, SF & Tampa,...and list could grow.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet Source: #Bears and reps for #Saints LT Jermon Bushrod are finishing up a long-term deal. #JayCutlersmiles

RT @seankjensen: CB Zack Bowman has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the #Bears, a league source says. http://t.co/HqoUGJmOqn

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter Vikings are giving Greg Jennings a five-year deal. I saw this coming...Kind of a scary move esp if they can hit big on their 2 1st rounders. They still probably go with another WR in the first. This division will be tough.

RT @MikeClayNFL: BREAKING: Former Giants TE Martellus Bennett has informed me that he will sign with the Chicago Bears tonight.

This is immediately my favorite hire.

Nick Roach will be playing in Oakland next year. No big deal. We have a new regime so its time to add new players for the new era in Bears future.

I imagine he's lost a lot...But the Colts got Landry, so they dropped Zib. I liked him a while back, but I'm not sure how I feel now.

Stumbled upon the full game, gonna check it out to scout our guy JB....If anyone else is interested here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id...p;v=dqt4wSL8zhc I'm taking notes and I'll share later for those who don't have 2 hours to spare lol. Only watching Bushrod. First Drive... - 4 Dub Teams - Beat by Aldon Smith twice - Pushed back solo on Smith - Held his own just twice in 9 Pass plays ----Saints put an extra lineman lined up at FB behind him...smart move. 2nd Drive... - Double team - Sack to Aldon Smith --- 3 and out 3rd Drive.... - 2 good solo stops vs Justin Smith ----Brees pick on 3rd down 4t…
