how much room is there to really go after free agents? there will be some interesting players out there.

Per Tribune Dirk is gone. Looks like the Bears may have to change their minds about Jeremy Bates, if he would even consider the position now.

Question: would you trade the 1st, 2nd, and two 3rd's for Calvin Johnson? I know I would really consider that thought and think this Justin Blackmon can be a Terrell Owens or Calvin Johnson type of threat. If by chance Justin Blackmon falls to the 5th pick that will equal 1700 points on the trade value chart. Our 1, 2, and 3's will equal 1700 points. After watching the bowl game and knowing he wasn't 100% healthy and he absolutely destroyed his competetion shows me he will excel in the NFL and be a top 5 WR. Just a nugget to consider, we do have ammo to go up to pick #5. Also, I think he comes across as a good high character guy. How about Micheal Floyd, some …

Trade Briggs for a 2nd round pick. Trade Knox for a 5th. Extend Idonije, Urlacher, Graham, Jennings, and Okoye. Cut Omiyale, Wootton, and Spaeth. Sign Robert Meachem, Eddie Royal, and Brady Quinn. Franchise Forte. 1) David DeCastro, OG, Stanford ---All of you know me as the guy who never wants OL this high. However, in this scenario, Williams would move back to LT and DeCastro would fill in at OG. Even if Webb stays or the Bears sign a LT through FA, DeCastro would start at RG or LG. 2) Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina ---In the past, I've said that I love McNutt. He's a very good player. However, in his final game, he was shut down by Alfonzo Dennard…

I havent heard one report about anyone from the personnel side of the Saints being interviewed or considered for a job. I find that weird. For a team that drafts well, can run the ball downhill and throw it all over the yard...why arent the Bears sniffing around them? Note: Not that I think it matters, the Bears seem destined and determined to hire a scrub. So the question may be rhetorical for the Bears organization.

http://www.chicitysports.com/2012/01/07/ch...nd-mock-drafts/ Do you agree with the areas of concern? Who do you want us to draft?

I know theres been numerous times hes been brought up in the past but I seriously have to question how this guy has kept his job since 2004. The state of our WR corps under his tenure has been easily the worst in the NFL. We havent been able to develop a single WR that weve drafted and the few weve signed have done absolutely nothing here. How can a WR coach watch the product weve had on the field the past few years and not be able to do anything to improve it and still have a job? The closest thing weve had to a legit WR is Earl Bennett and thats 100% due to his familiarity with Jay because as we saw when Cutler doesnt play Bennett basically becomes a ghost.

Most of the Bears’ 2012 schedule is pretty well set now that they and other third-place teams are set. From the NFC West the Bears have Seattle and St. Louis coming to Soldier Field, plus Carolina from the NFC South and Houston and Indianapolis from the AFC South. They will travel to play Arizona, San Francisco, Jacksonville and Tennessee. And the Bears would go to Dallas. Along with playing the Packer, Lions and Vikings twice. I will go on record now saying that with a few players in FA and the draft .....the Bears are looking at least an 11-5 season

Ruskell for gm

You know most men endeavor to rule a kingdom. I am no different. The new GM has a daunting task this offseason and I'm going to play the role. Here's my agenda... 1) Send a letter to Briggs agent, telling Briggs to play this year, keep his mouth shut and we will extend him next year. A message needs to be sent by the new leadership, that stongarm tactics will not be tolerated. However, good play and locker room leadership will be rewarded. 2) Message to players Part II. Find a way to get Forte under contract. This a veteran team and Forte deserves the loyalty of NOT being franchised. A little good will goes a long way in the locker room. 3) Sign …

Dennard/CB/Neb with first pick Toon/WR/WI with the second pick Zeitler/OG/WI with first of third round Carder/MLB/TCU with second of third round Green/TE/LouLaff with fourth round. I think this would be a good draft if we still go after WR,DE,and OL in FAgency. Lets say Mathis/DE/ Colts ( with new regime will probably take a fresh start attitude and let some of the older guys go. Lets say Reggie Wayne/WR/Colts (same reason) Lets say Eddie Royal/WR/ Den ( fresh start with the a qb he played well with) Lets say Demetri Bell/LT/Buf (he is young and had an injury this year, but if Buffalo doesnt Franchise him, pay him;above average LT) I…

NFL commissioner holds press conference: ROGER GOODELL - "After reviewing the situation in Chicago last season, in which the Bears sideline rarely didn't call a timeout trying to get in an offensive play to their quarterback, the league has decide to allow an unprecedented TWO headsets in Chicago Bear quarterback Jay Cutler's helmet. Since it appears he will be at a league disadvantage by having a "running offensive coordinator" AND a "passing offensive coordinator" we feel it only fair that Cutler can hear both coordinators at the same time in stereo." "That said, we expect Cutler will be allowed to tell one of the coordinators to F*#@% off if he doesn't like h…

1. The easy one- JA is gone!!!!!!!! 2. Not so sure about -Martz is gone, sounds like there was a divide in the front office lovie, JA and Martz, for Cutler i am on the fence with this one 3. We have the QB- any up and comer will see that the hardest part is done, the QB spot is set 4. We have the RB- as long as they resign him, from Clayton on Espn the difference was 2 million so not far off 5. We have a good core of Defensive players to add around and be really good for a couple of years 6. We were 7- 3 before Cutler went down- imagine if the oline and wr groups are upgraded 7. We have a 1st,2nd and two 3rd's in this draft that a new GM can really put his na…
