Would Marvin Harrison be worth a look at? Or is he being shunned by the NFL due that that club shooting?

You got to admire the boldness. My guess is any move up would be to acquire a WR or tackle. Pompei later speculates how the Bears are very interested in Robisnkie. Robinskie definately would be a nice fit along with Bennett and Hester. My guess is that if they trade up, its to target a 1st round tackle that slides or to grab a WR like Robinskie/Nicks. Otherwise I could very well see them trading down if Britts/Robinski/Nicks are off the board (this would be easier to do if the Bears sign Holt cause they'd have even less pressure to grab a WR super early and could make adjustments of what they picked based upon the way the draft unfolds).

http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/mul...lip=Y&rn=16 2 things: 1. It looks like he's having fun out there. When they were all throwing into the net from the goal post, he was slamming his hat down and laughing a little. That's good to see he's getting along with Hanie and Basanez. 2. The way the ball comes out of his hand is just so smooth and powerful. It seems like Basanez's throws take forever to get there, Hanie's are alright, and Cutler's are just on the money 100 mph.

I previously saw the report from some guy (I think on CNNSI) talking about Nicks, Britt and Harvin slipping out of the 1st round. Honestly, I didn't think much of it. While it may have been on SI, it was still just the opinion of one guy, which seemed to run counter to what most everyone else thought. Now I am starting to wonder a bit more. I read the other day Rick Gosslin's 1st mock draft. I am not saying Gosslin, or anyone out there is so perfect they know for a fact what will happen, but Gosslin does have a pretty damn good record, though he will have more versions after this one. But in his 1st mock, all three of those WRs failed to be drafted in the 1st …

I touched on this in another thread, but I think the Bears have to be at least considering drafting two WRs this year if the value is there. I'm sure they would still love to add a veteran (particularly Holt), but the amount of research the Bears have put into scouting the WRs suggests to me that they would probably be interested in getting a couple new bodies in there. So, if that's the case, which two WRs do you draft and where do you think you can get them?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jaguars | Close to deal with Holt Comment (0) Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:23:09 -0700 ESPN.com reports the Jacksonville Jaguars are close to a contract with unrestricted free-agent WR Torry Holt (Rams), sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

I won't post the whole thing, because I think it's probably frowned upon, but you can find it various places if you look hard enough even if you don't have ESPN Insider. Here's the Bears picks: 17. (49) Chicago Bears Derrick Williams WR Penn State 35. (99) Chicago Bears (Compensatory) Corvey Irvin DT Georgia 19. (119) Chicago Bears Captain Munnerlyn* DB South Carolina 4. (140) Chicago Bears (from Denver through Seattle) Courtney Greene SS Rutgers 18. (154) Chicago Bears Jonathan Luigs OC Arkansas 17. (190) Chicago Bears Joel Bell OT Furman 37. (246) Chicago Bears (compensatory) Mortty Ivy OLB West Virginia 42. (251) Chicago Bears (compensatory) Phillip …

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...h-hit/#comments I disagree with Marshall, but damn if I don't love his desire to stick up for his QB. This is the stuff that bring cohesiveness... Did you all hear the outpour of love and ovation when Cutty returned to the game? I loved that! Don't listen to the national (or local) media Jay. We are 100% with you! I don't care if Jay's surly or jovial. I just want him to play hard and smart and well. And I think he's doing all 3. And there is a lot of room for improvement. I love this team. Let me count the ways... 1. It's the Bears 2. The D is playing their best since the SB campaign. M…

Not sure what the cap space will be but wouldn't that be funny signing another Denver player Prolly wouldn't work with the amount he is going to get paid

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000010...s-loss-to-bears I hope he does that was a dirty and unnecessary hit. Blind side hit leading with his helmet. 1 more reason to hate Jared Allen.

That sucks... No idea of return timeframe Sorry no good link www.theredzone.org

There are a few OL UFA's that will be out there in March. OT William Beatty Branden Albert Ryan Clady Jake Long Jermon Bushrod OG Kory Lichtensteiger Andy Levitre Kevin Boothe Man, any one of the first 5 and one of the last 3 would look terrific on the Bears in September, no?

Mongo on ESPN 1000 just now said that he has talked to Kevin Greene (HOF player, current OLB coach in Green Bay) and Greene told him that Dom Capers is extremely interested in the Bears' head coaching job if it becomes available. If it happened, Greene would come with as the DC. per @bestof1000 twitter

He now holds the Bears single season receiving records for Receptions and Yards.

I found this from a poster on SoxTalk So much for Louis being good. Looks like, according to this, he was average. Carimi sucks.

Hoke, Horton, Ryan or Singletary...

per PFT

How do they work? Are their candidates on the team that can save us big? I read an article that said the Bears restructured Peppers contract and saved 8M in cap space! Is that still possible under the new CBA or whatever? We already have a decent amount of money to work with but they can never have too much!

PFT is reporting that Alec Ogletree got another DUI a week ago. Yikes
