6 years, $41.7 million. All of it guaranteed. per ESPNnews. Mortensen also says that Tyson Jackson to KC at #3 is a lock.

- Week 9 Bye (one of the best weeks to have a bye), Week 6 last year - Only 1 set of back to back away games (had 3 sets last year) - 4 Prime-time games (Wk2 vs PHI, Wk3 at DAL, Wk7 at GB, Wk8 vs MIN) - THU game against GB followed by MON against MIN going into Bye - SF and WAS play us in December at home

Just heard the newest spin on the NFL draft from "sources" close to the Bears. Supposedly Pace was told to get a QB no matter what with the first pick. He is not the man in charge when ownership is making the football decisions. Why does everything have to be a conspiracy. From Fox didnt know to this now. The Chiefs (edit:had -Cardinals) were praised for trading away their future for Mahomes and they said you do that for a QB that can be your franchis for 10 years. Bears do it and the world collapses.

OK, let the grilling begin, but here’s my shopping list. Just a pipe dream at 4:25 AM Is this even realistic? I really haven't researched the matter. Alan Faneca 4yr/32 mil Allows us to draft a rookie LT and move Tait to the right. Sign Jacob Bell for 5yr/28 mil if Faneca signs with NYJ. We get younger and better by signing a 31 year old and drafting. Age upgrade to youth is 9yrs per player.(10.5 if you sign Bell) Randy Moss 3yr/30 mil How do you improve your QB play? A+ Sign the most gifted receiver to ever play the game and chuck it. How do you improve your run game? A= Get the safety out of the box by(see above). The combination of Faneca …

I think he'll be released or traded...Cleveland is deep at OL and hes become expendable. Hes slated as a center, but could easily switch to G. Hes been on the DL because of (I think) a staph infection and post infection problems. Id love to get him if hes released or trade a late pick for him. Pretty much, there is no downside and hed be a great addition.

Since we will have a new LT (Williams)and a new RT(Tait) what teams DE do you think will give them the most problems this year? Colts =Mathis/Freeney Panthers=Peppers/Johnson Bucs=Adams/Douglas Eagles=Parker/Cole Lions x 2 =Devires/White Falcons=Abraham/Anderson Vikings x 2 =Allen/Edwards Titians=Kearse/Vanden Bosch Packers x 2 =Kampman/Jenkins Rams=Little/Long Jags=Spicer/Hayward Saints=Grant/Smith Texans=Weaver/Williams

Game winner thread. That was a huge win for the Bears. Big 11 point comeback. Big performance in the 2nd half. That was a really good team the Bears stood up and went blow for blow with.

NFL | J. Davis works out at Pro Day - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 22 Mar 2006 20:56:32 -0800 Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Illinois RB Jason S. Davis measured a height of 5-10 and a weight of 240 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds and 4.70 seconds while finishing the short shuttle in 4.43 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.33 seconds. He had a 37-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-3 long jump. Davis was able to complete 16 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 24m Pending a physical #Bears expected to sign TE Leonard Pope. Another end zone threat to throw out there. Speculation the Eldridge is being cut for Pope. Trying to cover a 2 TE set with Marshall, Jeffery, M. Bennett and Pope would be awfully difficult in the red zone.

We are going to see very little of our starters. I have been checking out games being played on NFL.com and I do not even recognize half of the players in the lineups in the 1st quarter. I think we will see, despite what Lovie has said, that we will not worry about the win as much as escaping with no significant injuries. I also noticed that the Patriots were losing in the 2nd quarter and that they have not won a game in the preseason either. Does that mean they suck? Preseason does not mean anything and those who are worried because we lost our first 3 games are not looking at the whole picture, IMHO.

I'm mostly asking as he's a former Saint and although older, Fox and crew showed some interest in the other CJ (Anderson) last year. There are a lot of questions about whether Langford can carry the load. And whether he can consistently catch out of the backfield. Spiller does that. If the Bears checked him out I wouldn't see him as the feature back, maybe a change of pace. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/...ut-c-j-spiller/

We got a new dog on Saturday so I was busy entertaining her...I totally thought the game was at 2:15 (mountain time) for some reason and was planning on going over to the bar. I was watching the Donks game when I saw them flash the score at the bottom and was like "well shit" Its probably the first game I have missed in 10 years...and you know what I really don't feel that bad because it looked like one craptastic game...Thank you Bears brass, I am losing my Bear Heart.

Just FYI... (I'm in the tophat - the guys without the shirts didn't last long)

Disappointed with this, understand the need for cap space but might have been better to cut Hicks because there is still a lot of dead money.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ NO TAKERS FOR BENSON Posted by Mike Florio on June 12, 2008, 5:54 p.m. Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the running back Cedric Benson was unclaimed via waivers. Every team had a crack at Benson, and could have made a claim for him through waivers. The team that landed him would have picked up the last two years of Benson’s contract, at $820,000 for 2008. As it now stands, Benson is an unrestricted free agent. He might remain on the shelf until pending legal troubles resulting from two arrests in roughly a month are resolved. Or until a team starts losing tailbacks to injury during tra…

1-29: Derrick Sherrod - OT Miss State Can start right away Alt - Wilkerson DE Temple. Probably gone but i think best DL 2-62: Marvin Austin - DL Cant see the guy who hasnt played in a year going before this pick. If we go DL in 1st we get Ijana here 3-93: Greg Little - WR UNC The big guy and #1 we need. I personally love Hankerson but think hell be gone in 2nd Alt - Niles Paul - WR nebraska 4-127: Quan Sturdivant - LB UNc Great football player who "lacks" measurables I didnt want to ignore Cornerback; however i think our secondary is much better than advertised. Its the middle of our Dline that sucks. Wooten and Peppers are cornerstones an…
