Until 4:00 CT, everything (except Bears TRADITIONS clothing line) is 50% off if you use LEAP50 as a promotional code when you check out.

Raiders linebacker Kamerion Wimbley has half of his salary to be paid by the Radiers. They are in trouble with the cap space situation and may cut him What do you think about getting him to replace Roach?

He's probably not a starting OG anymore, but he might just be a nice back-up on this team, especially if they move Williams to LT and sign Grubbs. They won't really have much OG depth then.

RT @skjensen: RT @RavensInsider: Hearing #Bears are a logical destination for Ravens guard Ben Grubbs if he leaves Baltimore. Nothing concrete right now

1st Rd Jonathan Martin OT 2nd Rd Bobbie Massie OT 3rd Rd Juron Criner WR 3rd Rd Coryell Judie CB I have a hard time believing that Martin will drop to 19 and that the Bears will spend 2 picks on OTs in the first 2 rounds but as usual most mock draftniks don't follow teams as well as the fans do on a daily basis.

HE GONE

RT @BradBiggs: #Bears could target #Seahawks John Carlson in free agency if they're seeking a tight end upgrade.

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…

Hell I can do 5 at 225 and weigh 190 and two suspensions???? http://walterfootball.com/combine2012stock1.php

Would you guys be opposed to drafting 2 wideouts in the first 2 rounds? If some team outbids the Bears on Jackson, Johnson stays in Buffalo, Wayne goes wherever Peyton goes, Colston stays, and Bowe gets tagged, wouldn't this make sense? Also, keep in mind that it seems like the organization likes Webb and Williams at LT. I don't love this idea, because I think making the D younger is more important, but Floyd and Hill/Sanu wouldn't be too bad.

All this information, I have come up with a new plan. Instead of the big score, lets add several smaller contracts. Jeremy Mincey/DE/6-3 270-57 tackles-8 sacks-1 intec-2 knockdowns-4 FF and he is only 26. Tracy Porter/CB- with all the contracts NOs has to worry about, he could be gotten for a song and a definite upgrade for us. Laurent Robinson- at 26 could be turning into a #1 with 11 TDs in 54 recp. Eddie Royal- a cheap addition that could score big with Cutler. Jason Jones/DT-Tenn has some cap issues-last year as a DE he stuggled, but put him back at DT. Brilng back Graham,McGown,Stelz,Davis,Okoye Draft; #1 Adams/LT #2 Randle…

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7615420/...ides-reach-deal Looks like Bowe is out of the picture.

Who is the more reasonably Free Agents out there, we should look at. Aaron Ross/CB Laurent Robinson/WR Harry Douglas/WR Steve Smith/WR Eddie Royal/WR Early Doucet/WR Jacob Tamme/TE Joel Dreessen/TE Jeremy Shockey/TE Max Starks/OT Jeremy Suttah/OG Robert Mathis/DE Mark Anderson/DE Tracy Porter/CB Tom Zbikowski/SS …

Round 1. WR-Micheal Floyd: Displayed himself as the best all around WR at the combine. Enough said Round 2. CB-Stephen Gilmore: Great size, speed, and stength Round 3a. TE- Mike Egnew: all the skills we need Round 3b: OG/OT - Kenechi Osemele: 6'6 330lbs. May be long gone. But is very raw and athletic Round 4: LB - Tank Carder: hope he lasts this long Round 5: OG/DT Round 6: OG/DT

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...r-they-cut-him/ Anthony Adams praises the Bears after they cut him Posted by Michael David Smith on February 28, 2012, 11:47 AM EST Getty Images Bears defensive lineman Anthony Adams was released this week, but he has no hard feelings. In fact, Adams told Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times that he still has warm feelings for the Bears, loved his time in Chicago and completely understands the business decision the team made. “I don’t blame them,” Adams said. “I probably would have done the same thing.” Adams also took to Twitter to thank everyone who made him feel welcome during his five years i…
