Bernstein just said there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, adding "draft day will be VERY interesting"

@Adam_Schefter: Taylor reaches agreement w/Bears on a 4-year, $12.5 million deal that includes $7 million gtd in year 1

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/03/so...ng_imminen.html Wow if that's true, that's awesome! Still not reading too much into this report until it's actually official but I thought he was looking for something like 16 million a year.

Bodden drawing interest from four teams Mar 5 3/5/2010 8:28:05 AM | More Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times reports via Twitter CB Leigh Bodden is drawing interest from the following teams: Houston, Seattle, New England, Pittsburgh, according to a league source. www.theredzone.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maybe we could finally put Tillman at Safety? If we are unable to land Rolle/Atogwe... Of course Id rather have a real FS which there are two available

The Bears could come home with 3 of the top free agents today. They are waisting little time!

Rolle, having not even been on a plane, was redirected away from NY. Heard a tidbit on ESPN/Mike and Mike

I would personally keep Clark around for 1 more year. McKie should have been gone 2 years ago instead of Lousaka Polite. Peace

Bears | Comment (0) Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:53:04 -0800 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports free-agent TE Brandon Manumaleuna (Chargers) will visit the Chicago Bears Friday, March 5.

Since it was reported that the Bears are out of the race for the high priced Rolle who should we go after either Atogwe from the Rams, Clark from the Steelers or even Sharper from the Saints. Who would you pick for the upgrade?

Chester Taylor visiting Bears on Friday, too Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2010 12:48 AM ET Defensive end Julius Peppers won't be the only potential new Bears who's hanging out at Halas Hall on Friday. Running back Chester Taylor will be there, too. Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Taylor is expected to visit the Bears on the first day of free agency. In the Mike Martz offense, Taylor could be a Mike Martz/Priest Holmes-style weapon, given his ability to catch the ball. Except when it's squirting out of his hands, and then being intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Redskins out, Bears in for Peppers Posted by Mike…

http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...me-quickly.html This is very encouraging!!!

Everyone is a spectator right now, 9 hours from opening of free agency. One source I trust said: "I expect the Bears to hit it big." source added: "This is it. There is no draft. They have to come out w/ 4 or 5 players. The #Bears will not be outbid. It's in their budget." All I can say is we haven't seen the #Bears, not under Jerry Angelo or anyone else, come out writing checks like that in free agency. So get your popcorn ready for tonight, or set your alarm. This will be interesting to watch. Can you imagine if they don't strike in FA?
