Every year QBs go down and teams scramble for a QB that can take their place because they do not feel they have a good enough backup in place. I am very comfortable with both backups we have. If a team goes hunting for a emergency QB because of injuries to their starter, the Bears would be in a great position as I feel they could actually get a decent draft choice for Campbell, possibly a 3rd rounder, if a team was hurting and needed a QB with promise and starting experience to come in. Just a thought, and although I hope we keep him as an insurance policy, you never know!!!

I truly believe this is the year to address OL in the draft which will go along way in keeping the Bears competitive now and into the future without over spending in FA. In fact former GM - Bill Polian said today on the Doug Gottlieb show (ESPN Radio) that he would have never spent the $$$ on OG like the Tampa Bucks did for Carl Nicks, simply could not justify that money to that position. Assuming a true LT is not available at 19, I would not be disappointed if we could DRAFT a LG and C that could come in and start from day one. Then in 2013 the Bears can move up in the 1st round if needed to get that stud LT if Williams and Webb can not hold down the fort this y…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...story?track=rss Chicago Bears GM Phil Emery said today that finding some fresh bodies along the offensive line, whether it be in free agency or the draft, is one of his priorities this offseason. “I like the look of our offensive line with the guys with have signed up right now,” he said. Asked about adding a lineman, Emery said the Bears always are searching for depth. He said they could look at other free-agent linemen, and the team will look “very hard” at offensive linemen in the draft.

Idonije has re-upped with the Bears for 1 year.

Granted, it's not exactly right most likely, but Sean Jensen tweeted earlier that the Bears have $16m left to spend. Just throwing that out there.

Saints signed OG Ben Grubbs, formerly of the Ravens, to a five-year, $36 million deal. The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, and $16 million "fully guaranteed." Grubbs provides the Saints a soft landing after they lost LG Carl Nicks to the Bucs, but at a surprisingly steep cost. Grubbs landed just $11.5 million less total money, and will average roughly $2 million less per season. Grubbs graded out as Pro Football Focus' sixth-best left guard in 2011, but Nicks was significantly better in both run and pass blocking. Nicks is also more than a year younger. The Ravens will likely now focus on signing free agent Evan Mathis to replace Grubbs. http://espn.g…

Not sure if CSN is going to carry it.

Grubbs has signed with the Saints taking Nicks place. Tampa Bay signed quarterback Dan Orlovsky Jets going really hard after … Drew Stanton Patriots to host LaRon Landry, Anthony Gonzalez Manningham to visit with 49ers

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...story?track=rss Cutler says he lobbied the Bears to acquire Marshall and believes the team will continue to pursue other receivers. "I don't think we're done at that position," Cutler said. "I think we definitely want to get another one. But it's just going to come down to whether someone is available and whether Phil and the rest of the crew feels like the value is there at whatever pick we're at or whether we can get the right price. I don't think we're going to be foolish with what we're trying to do. If we can get someone to help us out on offense, I think we'll grab him." Cutler said he talked Tuesday to …

JasonLaCanfora: RT @RickSmith1956: I was just informed by the Seahawks that Robert Gallery will be released. He played hurt all last year. Finally healthy!! If he is healthy - would he be an upgrade at LG?

Cutler mentioned him on espn but no talks with the Bears. Find it odd not even a kick of the tire so to speak.

per everyone. 2 year deal

he is at Halas?? or they are meeting with him. Does he still have gas left in the tank??

Does it force bears to draft WR at 19....and sign another capable WR

He is in town today for a visit with one scheduled for Monday with Cincy...

Per espn radio 1000.

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter Filed to ESPN: Lions reached agreement with WR Calvin Johnson on a seven-year, $132 million extension that includes $60 million guaranteed.
