My guess is someone is injured and with Roquan out they need depth for the upcoming practices and preseason game Sat. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2022/8/5/23289394/chicago-bears-sign-usfl-star-demarquis-gates-linebacker-roquan-smith-matt-adams-morrow-joe-thomas

Nice work fellas! The guy on the right is a beast! The guy on the left needs to find himself and return to glory! (All pun intended...)

Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer Bears have signed long-snapper Aaron Brewer to one-year contract. Brewer spent the last four years with the Denver Broncos where he previously played under Bears coach John Fox and special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

1. Eben Britton, OT, Arizona 2. Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma 3. Phillip Hunt, DE, Houston 3. Brandon Gibson, WR, Washington State 4. Johnny Knox, WR, Abilene Christian 5. Joe Burnett, CB, Central Florida 6. Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse 7. Robert Brewster, OT, Ball State Thoughts?

1. Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi 2. Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers 3. Sherrod Martin, FS, Troy 3. Tyronne Green, OG, Auburn 4. Phillip Hunt, DE, Houston 5. Marko Mitchell, WR, Nevada 6. Londen Fryar, CB, Western Michigan 7. David Veikune, DE, Hawaii 7. Russell Allen, OLB, San Diego State Thoughts?

Bears trade picks #49 and #115 to Eagles for pick #28. 1. Eben Britton, RT, Arizona 1. Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina 3. Victor Harris, CB, Virginia Tech 3. Phillip Hunt, DE, Houston 5. Louis Vazquez, OG, Texas Tech 6. Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse 7. Mike Reilly, QB, Central Washington Thoughts? (somebody change date to 3-22)

1. Eben Britton, RT, Arizona ---Shaffer? Great. He isn't the long term answer, though. 2. Paul Kruger, DE, Utah ---Good against the run and can get to the QB some, too. 3. Brandon Gibson, WR, Washington State ---It's been said the FO likes this guy. 3. David Bruton, FS, Notre Dame ---Smart player and big hitter to compete with Bullocks. 4. Asher Allen, CB, Georgia ---We need CB's after Bowman's been moved to S. 5. Marko Mitchell, WR, Nevada ---Big WR at 6'4, 213 who is a good blocker. 6. Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse ---Arguably the best FB in the draft. 7. Mike Reilly, QB, Central Washington ---To compete with Hanie for the #2 job. 7. John…

1. Eben Britton, OT, Arizona ---IMO, he fits our scheme perfectly. St Clair still hasn't re-signed and is bad in the run game. 2. Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers ---A possession WR who is a perfect compliment to Hester. 3. Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman ---A massive NT who knows how to get to the QB. 3. Phillip Hunt, DE, Houston ---Has a nose for the QB. 4. Troy Nolan, FS, Arizona State ---Big safety who has a nose for the ball and knows what to do when he gets the ball (3 TD's this past year). 5. Louis Vazquez, OG, Texas Tech ---He could go earlier, but Vazquez had a great combine with, I believe, the most reps of anyone. 6. Austin Collie, WR, BYU ---Re…

1. Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford ---Finally, a franchise LT for Cutler. 2. Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse ---Jones looks like, with a few pounds added, a future 8-9 sack NFL player. 3. Josh Norman, CB, Coastal Carolina ---Norman's stock really rose recently, and the Bears need a young CB. 4. TY Hilton, WR, Florida International ---Hilton had a huge pro day, running in the 4.3's. If they're interested in Kendall Wright, a smaller WR, they should look at Hilton as well. 5. Senio Kelemete, OG, Washington ---Emery said OL will be stressed in the draft, and Kelemete is a good player. 6. Aaron Henry, S, Wisconsin ---Depth safety in case, or when, Wright f**…

Sign Mike Sims-Walker: 5 years, $20 million. 1. Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin ---The Bears had 3 scouts at Wisconsin's pro day. If he's there, he's the pick. 2. Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State ---I can't imagine he'll fall this far, but if he does, he should be the selection. 3. Rock Carmichael, CB, Virginia Tech ---Carmichael had a good year and is a winner. In round 3, this should be a good time to find a guy to replace Jennings in a year or 2. 4. Kris O'Dowd, C, USC ---O'Dowd can sit a year behind Kreutz. 5. Jah Reid, OG, Central Florida ---The Bears need some OG depth, badly. 6. Dion Lewis, RB, Pittsburgh ---This is iffy because apparently Taylo…

1. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State 2. Terrell McClain, DT, South Florida 3. Orlando Franklin, OG, Miami 4. Shareece Wright, CB, USC 5. Stephen Burton, WR, West Texas A&M 6. Chris Conte, FS, California

2. Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma ---I love this guy. For some reason, I think he'd fit in well here. 3. Matt Shaughnessy, DE, Wisconsin ---A DE for Marinelli to toy with. 4. Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Houston ---Pace is old and often injured, and who knows about Williams. OT is still a ened. 5. Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest ---S depth to go with Earl, Bowman, Manning, Steltz, and Bullocks. 5. Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State ---Walterfootball and I agree- this guy has so much pure talent it's ridiculous. 6. Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse ---Best FB in the draft, IMO. 7. Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State ---WR depth. 7. John Gill, DT, Northwestern ---…

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000048...k-draft-round-3 1 - Kevin White, WR, WVU 2 - Jordan Phillips, NT, Oklahoma 3 - Paul Dawson, ILB, TCU 4 - Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisville 5 - Kevin White, DB, TCU 6 - Kurtis Drummond, FS, Mich.St. I don't really like the Mauldin pick, but that's not bad.

1. Jamar Taylor, CB, Baylor 2. Alec Ogletree, LB, UGA 4. Brian Schwenke, OG, Cal. 5. Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose St. 6. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon I'm not sure how I feel about this draft. Don't like the start of it, but Ogletree in the 2nd would be a steal. Virtually everyone here like Schwenke in the 4th, but then Otten ruins the momentum in the 5th. Finishing with Barner would be very nice, since the Bears could use a breakaway threat at RB (6th round pick on a guy who could end up being the best RB in the draft).

The draftees will wear the following numbers, though some likely will change before the regular season: DL Jarron Gilbert (73), WR Juaquin Iglesias (17), DE Henry Melton (69), CB D.J. Moore (30), WR Johnny Knox (13), LB Marcus Freeman (58), S Al Afalava (46), G Lance Louis (60) and WR Derek Kinder (83). Undrafted free agents will wear the following numbers: FB Will Ta’ufo’ou (45o), S Dahna Deleston (45d), CB Woodny Turenne (47), RB Tyrell Fenroy (48), LB Mike Rivera (59), G Johan Asiata (62o), LB Kevin Malast (62d), G Dennis Conley (70) and WR Eric Peterman (86). ...told ya Freeman looked like Marshall and Afalava like Plank!

He was the assistant OL coach in Tampa.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but annually, I book a hotel in the Super Bowl city, and if (when) the Bears don't make it, I cancel 24 hours prior to and it doesn't cost me a thing. Of course, the only year I didn't was in 2006 when they did actually go. Anyhow, I found a La Quinta Suites in Slidell, (where ironically, Forte is from) which is about 25 miles from New Orleans, for only $119/night. If anyone is interested, I'd go that route. All of the other hotels are either sold out or $390+/night. This hotel also has all good reviews on Trip Advisor with the exception of 1 or 2 people.
