RAMS SIGN RICKY MANNING Posted by Michael David Smith on August 31, 2008, 3:36 p.m. The St. Louis Rams have agreed to terms with cornerback Ricky Manning today as they continue to shape their secondary a week before the start of the season. St. Louis also claimed safety Brannon Condren off waivers from Indianapolis. The Rams released tight end Richard Owens to make room for Condren and will have to jettison one more player when Manning signs his contract, which, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, will happen tomorrow. Manning was released by the Bears on Tuesday. He played in 31 games and started 11 after signing a free-agent contract with Chicago in 2006…

With the news, Chicago calls him "soft" for even having to take the tests. Pissed off, they head toward his home with torches and pitchforks screaming "KY-LE OR-TON" But really, per La Canfora, Cutler has passed the protocols and will play tomorrow.

Link. Seahawks are @ Chicago next Sunday.

Jay Cutler: The Antihero who looks a lot like a hero Seems like the deadspin guys like cutler. Or at least one of them.

we had nearly 10 years of poor drafting that has left this franchise with nearly nothing in drafted talent. our roster is swarming with 2nd and 3rd tier players on BOTH sides of the ball and players at the ends of their careers. the only talent what-so-ever with maybe 1-2 exceptions has been brought in as free agents or drafted by someone else than jerry angelo. to let that GM continue on as long as he did falls DIRECTLY onto CEO mike mccaskey and his crony ted phillips. they have run this franchise into the freaking DIRT that will take a good GM 3-4 years to turn around in the draft even IF we currently have one!!! the coaching staff in this franchise should h…

Interesting. Michael Sinclair will be the asst DL coach, and comes over from Trestman's staff in Montreal. Remember him? Seahawks and Eagles? All Pro '96 '97 '98? Led the NFL in sacks in 1998 Was DL coach for World Bowl winning Hamburg in 2007 Joined Trestman in Montreal in 2008 and won 2 of 5 Grey Cups with a 3rd losing appearance in the same stretch. Not bad.

Bears picks: 20. Chicago Bears: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia 50. Chicago Bears: Kyle Long, OT, Oregon 114. Chicago Bears: Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati http://walterfootball.com/draft2013.php Seems to be pretty logical, addresses 3 spots of need, and they all seem to be decent picks for the slot.

I had to post this (from SB Nation), some nice Photoshop work:

RT @ESPNChiBears: #Bears sign safety Tom Nelson to a one-year deal, per a league source. RT @ESPNChiBears: Nelson, a native of Arlington Heights, Ill., played high school ball at Hersey then at ISU. Spent 2 years w/#Bengals. Also time w/ #Eagles.

When I mean by cheap is someone under 3 mil that could help us out. I want to throw out the first name; Brandon Moore-OG-Jets it is 33 and had a great year. I think he could be a Ruben Brown type that could help us for a couple of years. The Jets are 26 mil over the salary cap, so I think we can grab him here.

At TE we signed Fendi Onobun running a 4.4-4.5 40 at 6'5 252 At WR Terrence Toliver at 6'5 208 At FS Tom Nelson 5'11 running a 4.38 40 dash special teamer/FS

per PFF

Every year, Mike Mayock releases his top 5 lists of the top 5 prospects at each position. This year, he has interesting ones, like Barrett Jones as the #3 C, behind Schwenke and Frederick. http://m.nfl.com/news/0ap1000000139744/

1. John Cooper OG 2. Jordan Pugh OT 4. Kiko Alonso ILB 5. Trevardo Williams OLB 6. Tavarras King WR Cant argue with much of it.. I replace Pugh with Barrett Jones or Kyle Long or Oday Aboushi... I think we need a legit LT in free agency. I wouldnt mess with any rookie Kiko, Id love it http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1512696...-the-super-bowl

After reading Brad Briggs, he lives Bears football he states our cap to be 10.9 We cut spaeth,Davis, Hester, Mannley and that gives us 8.2 mill to add to the pie. Adam suggested some of the bottom of the roster guys can give us another 2 mil. (since we replace those players with the ones we sign) Lets say we reconstruct a few contracts to give us another 2.7 mil. So our total comes to 21.8 mil. drop the 5 million for the rookie pool. We resign Melton-6 mil applies to 2013. We resign Roach- 2.5 mil applies to 2013 We resign Louis- 2.0 mil. for the 2013 season we resign DJ Moore - 1 mil for the season We sign UFAs Will Beatty/LT 4.5 mill for the …
