BradBiggs 7 minutes ago #Bears have signed LB Nick Roach. He'll be in line to start at strong side.

signed a 5 year deal with the Eagles

We have to say things have been interesting so far. These are new players that could impact our roster. Now we need to add a couple of OLs and a cornerback and this could be an interesting year. Resigned Hanie/qb-rookie Enderle/qb Marion Barber/rb Hurd/WR-Williams/WR-Fantuz/WR Spaeth/TE-Smith/TE rookie Linnerholm/OC rookie Guards 000000000000000000 Carmi/OT rookie Podlesh/P Gholstein/DE Paea/DT rookie-Okeye/DT-Adams/DT resigned Roach/OLB resigned-Thomas/OLB rookie-DeCicco/LB rookie Harris/CB resigned-Bryan/CB rookie

The best I can tell the new players will cost 13 million this year. We got rid of Olsen, Malaumaa, with Taylor and Harrison to follow. That will add 6. 75 million back in the pool. We pay Kreutz 4.5 and figure the new contract of Forte will cost around 5 to 7 this year. The rookies will cost around 7 mill. So the best I can figure we still have 10 to 12 mill spend this year. I think we can get Kelvin Hayden/cb, Dockery/OG, Jamal Brown/OT and Matt Roth/olb with the remainder of the cap. I suspect that if we do sign a couple more OL that we could cut Williams and maybe a guard Louis and save another 1.6 mil.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...sive-line-help/ The Bears should still be looking for offensive line help Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 2, 2011, 5:51 PM EDT Getty ImagesThe Bears poked around the offensive line free agent market over the last week without acquiring any tackles. They have moved J’Marcus Webb to left tackle and rookie Gabe Carimi has reportedly looked like he belongs at right tackle. They are also trying to replace Olin Kreutz at center, where they say new pickup Chris Spencer will have to earn a starting job. Yes, the Bears offensive line remains a big concern. Yes, it sounds like they are still looking for he…

Noots' Notes

UK Bears fans, help me out, I cannot figure out what is going on with tickets. I went to the Ticketmaster site and they are selling only expensive, £300 plus packages and then there is Thomson, also selling packages, but how much are the bloody tickets going to cost alone and when do they go on sale?

espn.com's Jeff Dickerson is reporting that Sam Hurd hurt his lower leg in the protion of practice at Bradley-Bourbonnais HS. He tried to continue but it was determined that he should call it a day and spent the remander of practice on a cart with his lower leg wrapped in ice. Of course Lovie downplayed the injury,saying "We have a few guys banged up this time of year,but nothing serious".

Jamarcus Webb sucks..he's a 7th Rounder outta nowhere. Get over it and end it Okoye has a ton of potential for us. Think he is gonna be huge and a steal. Gholston on the other hand looks rather lost. Major Wright will end up killing someone or himself (figuratively). Plays with a ton of passion Chris Williams truely stinks. After every play he stands next to ball and chews mouthpiece. Reminds me of the fat kid wearing the Darth Vader helmet from "Little Giants".. Typical Jerry's Kid Chester Taylor is packing his bags, in turn Barber is buyin a condo on the north side somewhere Spencer will end up being the starter at G or C. If u are drafted to C,…

http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/08/17/ch...player-ratings/ Finally released, im excited to see where Marion Barber is at when they update day 1

Never been, but had a nice time Friday afternoon. It's hard to come away with much after two hours in shorts, but here's what I saw: 1) Bell makes this team, Chester Taylor does not. Bell consistently hit the holes hard. Taylor, on the other hand, was on the ground way too much. Considering his salary and the way Barber is playing (impressive in person as well), I don't see how Taylor stays. 2) Mike Holmes is doing everything he can to make this team. He was one of the most fan-friendly players I saw, talking to fans on his way out and signing a bunch on his way back from the locker room. On the field he was returning punts (along with DJ Moore and, for so…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...nee-will-be-ok/ Desmond Clark says his knee will be OK APWhen Bears tight end Desmond Clark was carted off the field Saturday night with a knee injury, it looked potentially serious. But Clark says he’s just fine. Clark wrote on Twitter that he doesn’t expect to miss much time. “Took quite a shot out there but feeling confident I’ll be ok and back on the field soon,” Clark wrote. Although he appeared to be hurt on the field, Clark walked out of the locker room without crutches and seems to have dodged a bullet.

I see Merriweather/s is now available and Ingram/lb. from NO. Who is now available to help us.

per the Trib.

http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/09/05/giants-de-...irst-two-games/ Not a chance in hell... Personally love Briggs in this Defense. Plus we have nobody else, why I feel he is doing this, and cuz he is a dick regardless. Anyway, would love those bookends, but here is another example of JAs shitty drafts. When was the last time we took a LB with any intention of him playing? Briggs? This coming draft better be full of LB/DBs and of course OL whenever they can...

Per Josina Anderson. Interesting since teams aren't supposed to talk numbers.
