A 2014 seventh-round pick, Leno has started 29-of-32 games the past two seasons. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 53 tackle out of 76 qualifiers last season after checking in at 49-of-76 the previous year. The Bears see upside in the soon-to-be 26-year-old and keep in tact the left side of their line. At $9.5 million per year, Leno is the league's 14th-highest-paid left tackle.

5 years

... 4 years, not sure of the details.

Nice move - my presumption is if the Bears arrow continues to accelerate upwards he will be gone at the end of the year - but I'm good if he wants to be picky and stick around a bit longer

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2008/01/be...nning_back.html Bears eyeing CFL running back? Could the Bears be looking to the North for the first person to provide competition general manager Jerry Angelo has promised for running back Cedric Benson? The Metro News of Toronto reports that the Bears and New York Jets have offered contracts to running back Joe Smith, of the British Columbia Lions of the CFL. Smith set a Lions’ franchise record with 1,510 yards this past season, scoring 18 touchdowns. In two seasons with BC, he’s totaled 2,397 yards with 27 scores and a 5.4-yard per carry average. Smith originally was an undrafted free agent from Louisiana…

from the Sun Times. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear01.article Would love to see Rosensleaze having to come back to Angelo to talk contract. JA should tell him no negotiations - this is the contract, take it or leave it. I still think Berrian is gone. Peace

Well guys what else can I say. Last night watched our beloved kick some ass and this morning the wife gave birth #3. 1st daughter and since we can't enjoy the honey bears we bought a bears cheerleader outfit for her for Halloween. Mommy and Maddison Viola are both doing great

The more I think about it we all need to plan a vacation so that we can see one another face to face. After all these years, I'm not sure how we have not come up with plans to meet at training camp or something. Even if its just to slap the dog shit outta your TalkBears rival.

sucks All for a lions game...

What are your thoughts on Cutlers projected statline? http://www.chicitysports.com/2013/06/26/ch...ck-projections/

The initial Yahoo Fantasy Rankings is out. Here is how our favorite team fared: QB - Cutler - 14th RB - Forte - 6th WR - Marshall - 5th, Jeffery - 7th, Wilson - 86th TE - Bennett - 12th K - Gould - 11th DEF - CHI - 13th http://sports.yahoo.com/news/2014-fantasy-...-204748821.html To me, Cutler is a little low, I feel he should be from 8-12, Gould is low with this offense, easily top 10, and defense is probably a little high based on last year. Overall though, if they end up with these number, we have a really solid team.

Yahoo Sports posted their first player rankings for 2012, and the Bears are looking pretty good: http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/nfl/news;_...rtpoll-pre12-qb Using their Composite Ranking, the Bears ranked as follows for their positions: Cutler - 11th Forte - 9th Bush - 36th Marshall - 5th Jeffery - 50th Bennett - 68th Hester - 75th Gould - 9th Defense - 3rd Those actually seem like some realistic rankings. Marshall may be a little high, but it is nice to see him projected there. I know it is not much, but it is nice to see Bears positional players in and around the top 10 (other than Forte).

per Moon Mullin on CTL Wow.

On PFW website the latest The way we hear it article entitled: Bears feel very good about defensive front is an interesting read.

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/project...amp;proTeamId=3 Cutler - 3795 yards, 24 TD, 16 INT Forte - 1210 yards, 9 TD, 458 Rec yards, 2 TD Olsen - 66 - 802, 6 TD Hester - 61 - 784, 5 TD Bennett - 53 - 567, 5 TD Iglesias - 53 - 572, 2 TD I found it somewhat funny that if you add all the Bears WR, TE, and RBs receiving stats, they are around 4400 yards, yet Cutler only has 3795 (so much for accuracy). I would actually be pleased if Bennett and Iglesias put up those type of numbers. Forte is the #4 rated player for FFB, Cutler is 76, Olsen is 98, and Hester is 108. That is actually a pretty good mix having your QB, RB, TE, and WR a…
