I think Emery is not going to be willing to spend the money on our backup. McCown probably gets a 2 year 4 to 5 mil and is to rich for Bears.Some one drafting a rookie QB will pay to get insurance. teams for McCown: TB, they could use a good backup with Glennon still developing on the job, plenty of cap space, Lovie throws a dig to the Bears organisation, closer to home Jacksonville,they will draft a QB and Josh would be a good fall back if the rookie needs time to grow, closer to home,plrnty of cap space FA options: I think Jordon Palmer comes back on a vet min deal AND we draft a developmental QB 4th round and below; …

2 yrs, $10 million, $4.75M this year, $5.25M next year https://twitter.com/MikeMcCartney7/status/443812046514040832 He was obviously priced out of our range.

Just heard on the news. Should be better...but not good enough to beat the Packers.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000047...in-negotiations So unless we draft a QB, all signs point to Cutler in 2015.

I'm going to guess that Leftwich is Tampa's QB. Rumors out of Tampa are is that whoever wins the starting job, the loser will get dealt in order to make Freeman the #2 QB. What would you be willing to give up to make McCown our #2, if anything at all?

Chicago Bears ‏@ChicagoBears 2m LM: #Bears have agreed to terms with quarterback Josh McCown on one-year contract.

Don't know if this was posted before and I know there are many who are not a fan of McDaniels, but it's a good read. I don't think there are any of us that didn't mess up when we were young and knew more than the rest of the world. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2666428...-pick-his-spots

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...d-nfl-1-2-cases McDonald was cleared of the domestic violence charge but still has the sexual assault case pending.

League insiders tell the NY Daily News that "it's looking more and more like" the Jets will take Darren McFadden with the No. 6 overall pick. He'd have to be there, but the smart money is on McFadden not being a top-five pick because of off-field concerns. The Jets are expected to use this draft to upgrade their overall team speed. Free agent LB Brendon Ayanbadejo has narrowed his possible destinations to the Jets and Ravens. He'd been offered four-year deals by both clubs. He'll sign Thursday. He'd have a slightly better chance of playing defense in New York as an inside linebacker, though it'd only be as a reserve. Brett Favre will address the media on…

http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/...mond-mcgee.html Source: Bears will sign punter Richmond McGee February 9, 2011 6:28 AM | No Comments By Brad Biggs Brad Maynard said all last season that he was hopeful to return to the Bears in 2011. While the team got modest contract extensions finalized for long snapper Pat Mannelly and defensive tackle Matt Toeaina before the season ended, Maynard is one of the 14 players on the roster set to become an unrestricted free agent. Now, perhaps the team has his replacement in place. Richmond McGee will sign a reserve/futures contract this week, according to an NFL source, bringing a familiar face back in…

Check the bottom of this article from the Suntimes. Bears must have felt there would be some interest. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear29.article Peace

Now that McGowan is out for the year what do we do...promote someone from the practice squad to take his place on the 53 man roster or sign someone off the FA wire. What do you think we should do. IMHO we should promote Bowman the CB since he made the 53 man roster in the first place. But do we need a back up at safety or are we happy with Brown,Payne Manning and Steltz

ZZ reported he had season ending ankle surgery. I would think he is most likely done with the Bears. Peace

If he's great, at least he's in the AFC now... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...eggie-mckenzie/

Brad Briggs at the SunTimes reports that Jason McKie left practice yesterday with and injured quad. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bsep29.article That causes problems since he was our only FB on the 53 man squad. Jason Davis may be promoted from the PS, but that means that someone else will be cut or Vasher will be placed on the IR. Hope Davis can block the hell out of the Williams' boys!

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ Bears sign Eddie Williams Posted by Mike Florio on March 10, 2010 5:44 PM ET Last week, fullback Eddie Williams was one of ten Redskins to be given his walking papers. The seventh-round pick from the 2009 draft thereafter cleared waivers, and he now has been signed by the Bears. The team announced this afternoon that Williams has been signed to a one-year deal. Williams was cut before the 2009 season began, and then added to the Washington practice squad. He was called up to the active roster on November 2. After being deactivated for three straight weeks, he was placed on injured reserve.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ McKINNEY WANTS TO RETURN TO TEXANS Posted by Mike Florio on March 25, 2008, 6:58 p.m. The Houston Texans told offensive lineman Steve McKinney that they cut him loose in order to give him a chance to find a new team that would pay him the same $1.6 million salary that he was due to earn in 2008 from the team that signed him as a free agent in 2002. And so McKinney will look around for something else, and possibly could re-sign with the Texans. “It caught me off guard,” McKinney told the Houston Chronicle, “but they left the door open for me to return. I owe it to myself to test the market, but, truth…
