Bearstalk

Henry Melton ‏@HenMel Good to be a Bear for another year hopefully we can get a long-term deal done soon! #BearDown #FranchiseTag Hurts a lil but glad to have him around for at least another year. If the reports that Collins will be tendered are true that's 9.7M of the ~12 spent already(on 2 DTs), throw in the the 3-5M for the rookie pool and we're probably in the negative...with quite a few holes to fill. Get to restructurin Phil!

Oh. This would be atrocious. http://chicago.sbnation.com/2013/2/27/4037...ldon-richardson

Link Melton would take $8.450 to keep.

Lovie's Termination Please read Mongos blog on cbssportlines page. It puts in perspective of what i've seen the whole time and why I haven't changed my mind after a pft stat. You might have to scroll back to the top on that link.

20. Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame 50. Terron Armstead OT Ark-Pine Bluff 114. Zaviar Gooden OLB Mizzou 146 Kejon Barner RB Oregon 178 Garrett Gilkey OG Chadron ST This is my first shot at this for the year .OK let it rip.

Up to 123 from 120.6, per Ian Rapoport Now Mort says 123.9

I listen to the Score all day and some one brought up that Emery comes from the Scott Piola tree and he is very secretive about who he drafts. So pretty much if they mention a players name, we aint drafting him. Last year as an example I didnt hear any of our draft picks as remoting being drafted by us. So I guess Te'o off the list, I heard his name mentioned.

Make sure you look at #70 around the 5:14 mark...how many lineman do that?? Watch #78 step up in level of play...did ok

I have watched the Bears over the years recently pretty much ignore the OL and since drafting Orton really not address a QB to develop. LeFevre(sp?) and Enderle aside, this team needs to do better than Campbell,McCown,Collins and Haney. I would like to see them use one of the 5 picks they currently have on a QB to develop. Why,because with a new coach considered a QB guru and Cutler entering the last year of his contract you have to protect yourself in case this staff doesn't feel Cutler is the one to lead this team.

I read where with the money due Lewis this off season, he might be released. Any takers? I think his production wasnt great because of poor QBacking.

Do we get him? Turns 29 in Nov. Missed 3 games this year and in past.. Started all 16 in 2011

Schefter reports William Beatty has signed a 5 year deal to stay in NYG. There goes one of the better LT free agents.

Lane Johnson 28 reps @ 303 DJ Fluker 21 @ 339 (awful, plus he dropped 15lbs) Erik Fisher 27 @ 308 John Cooper 35 @ 311 Larry Warford 28 @ 332 Luke Joekel 27 @ 306 still waiting on Kyle Long, Warmack, etc I gotta give Lane Johnson a shout. Zack Ertz 24reps at 255 Eifert 22 reps at 250 Fauria 17 reps at 259 Sims 22 reps at 262 Escobar

I've been an advocate for an all Alabama OL draft in the past, back when there was a very slight possibility of Warmack going later, but now that's impossible. The best we could do is Fluker in the 1st and Jones in the 2nd, which probably wouldn't make many happy because Fluker is being touted as a RT. Anyway, what if the Bears went heavy on Notre Dame talent? Suppose Te'o really craps the bed in his combine workout. What would you guys think about a situation where the Bears traded back and ended up getting: Tyler Eifert, Manti Te'o, and Braxston Cave I'm not sure how it would be completely possible, and the inattention to the OL would bug me, but i…

I'm interested in seeing what Ogletree does today. Any particular players you guys are interested in?

http://nfltraderumors.co/packers-torn-on-w...d-be-an-option/ Nothing more than pure speculation based on the fact that we need a TE but he could be a great grab if they can free up some $$...He's been a bit of a prick in the Bears/Pack rivalry but that all goes away if he's on this side of feud. Jermichael* .....My middle name is Michael and I still spell that shit wrong smh

Don't flame me. I figured I might as well throw this out there just as a conversation piece for a while since these are slow news days. This Incarceratedbob dude is a bit of a wack job, but surprisingly has been right on many things NFL the last several years. He called the Mario Williams, and the Peyton Manning signings well before they happened. He also called the Brandon Marshall trade before many of the major networks got their information. Yes, he's been wrong several times as well. So at any rate, take this with a grain of salt. I found it interesting. We know that Phil is looking for WR help. Welker is up there in age, but you can't argue with his production.…

Pompei thinks Webb has the pole position at LT for next year. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,2610849.column I agree.

The two guys that I am really high on, Tavon Austin, and Marquise Goodwin just ran an unofficial 4.25...
