Here is a thought I will throw out there, what if we offered Jacksonville a 4th or 5th round pick for Luke Joeckel/LT They signed Kelvin Beachum to a 5 year 45 mil deal. Luke is an athletic player but has lacked in strength. I doubt Jack will have two expensive LTs on the roster. I suggest a trade,preferable 5th rounder but we have 2 4th rounders. Is is worth the chance to give him a new team and motivate him? He did not have a good year but was rated higher than Leno. Is it worth a 4th round pick to get a potential LT

The Trib says several times the cuts were part of a youth movement, or trying to get younger. As all the guys released were 30 or over, I guess it is not wrong to say as much. But was that really the reason? I personally think age had very little to do w/ yesterday's cuts. If Miller's 2008 base was the vet minimum instead of $4m+, would he have been cut? I think that if he was due to make the minimum, the team would have talked about how he was injured last year, and give him another season. If Walker was not due that roster bonus, would he have been cut, or would he too have been given another year after an injury riddled season. Moose is different, as w…

OK, Im still not sold on Cutler. I know how it FEELS with him in there. I wonder if he will ever stop making throws into double coverage. Still, the stats don't lie, and they tell a different story. I dunno. I just dunno. http://voices.suntimes.com/sports/interact...e-quarterbacks/

Chicago Bears Ranked 5th in ticket price in NFL In the 2nd biggest market Bottom 5 of player spending But they are going to raise ticket prices??? Can someone please explain player spending and how the players contracts count against the cap?? IF a player makes 10,000,000 a year but gets a 5,000,000 bonus does the 15,000,000 count against the cap? or is it the 10,000,000??? Are there teams spending 150,000,000 a year on players but because the way the contracts are written only count 115,000,000 against the cap?? Anyone that could explain how all this works i would greatly appreciate it being in the top 2 markets and t…

Someone at the TV networks must think we are going to be really good this year and great to watch. In all, the Bears play the NFL’s maximum of five prime time games, with three outings on ESPN’s "Monday Night Football," including contests at the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 21, and the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 19 in Weeks 4 and 11, and a home date against the Detroit Lions in Week 7.

F yeah!

"The Bears get back their starting running back Devin Hester." He had only 7 days to study this matchup.

LOVIE TAKES OVER THE BEARS’ DEFENSE Posted by Mike Florio on January 14, 2009, 11:45 a.m. When former Lions coach Rod Marinelli was sniffing around Halas Hall a couple of weeks ago, some folks thought that Bears defensive coordinator Bob Babich might be in trouble. In the end, Marinelli signed on to coach the defensive line, and Babich kept his job. But Babich is losing his juice. On Tuesday, coach Lovie Smith said that he’ll take over the team’s play-calling duties. “There are a lot of offensive coaches in the league that call plays and do a little bit more on their side of the ball where their expertise is,” Smith said, via the Chicago Tribune. “F…

Bears needs are WR,DT,CB,OLB,OL. We didn't get Baldwin, I say Greg Little would be a nice consolation prize.

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?

All starting, wow! Offense: Brandon Marshall, WR Defense: Henry Melton, DT Julius Peppers, DE Charles Tillman, CB Tim Jennings, CB http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story/0ap100000...rosters-afc-nfc Briggs the only snub, and with them going with more 3-4 OLB's, I can see him being left out.
