Just rumors and speculation at this point. http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2010/02/ho...with_martz.html

League insiders tell the NY Daily News that "it's looking more and more like" the Jets will take Darren McFadden with the No. 6 overall pick. He'd have to be there, but the smart money is on McFadden not being a top-five pick because of off-field concerns. The Jets are expected to use this draft to upgrade their overall team speed. Free agent LB Brendon Ayanbadejo has narrowed his possible destinations to the Jets and Ravens. He'd been offered four-year deals by both clubs. He'll sign Thursday. He'd have a slightly better chance of playing defense in New York as an inside linebacker, though it'd only be as a reserve. Brett Favre will address the media on…

http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ COWHER RUMORS FLY IN CLEVELAND Posted by Mike Florio on September 24, 2008, 12:32 p.m. We’ve ignore the stream of e-mails on the subject, but they’re becoming more frequent, and we’d prefer to be left alone. Apparently, plenty of folks in Cleveland have heard that former Steelers coach Bill Cowher has bought a home in Strongsville, Ohio. It’s creating a buzz on the Internet, and for good reason. Cowher’s purchase of a North Carolina home in early 2006 fueled rumors that he would be leaving the Steelers After the 2006 season, he did. But the Browns have a coach. They also have a G.M. If…

Within the realm of reality, what is your dream offseason? I think I'd like to see the following: FA Faneca, Starks, Flozelle, or Gross Draft RD1: OL (depending on FA targets/probabilities) RD2: OL (depending on FA targets/probabilities) RD3: QB (Brennan, Dixon, or Flacco (in that order)) RD4: S (Targeted BPA) Team Turner = FIRED Mike Brown, Tommie Harris, Dusty Dvoracek, Dan Bazuin = Healthy MuhMuh = Demoted Olsen = Promoted QB Position = Open TC Battle

So happy to see Farve throw some picks, delighted to see AP put the ball on the carpet. Go Colts!!

Seen this on Twitter. Brady and Mahomes were never considered generational. Who ? Andrew luck - no Trevor Lawrence - no Joe Burrows - no Eli Manning was never stated to be generational Aaron Rodgers was never called generational Russell Wilson was never considered generational Matt Stafford wasn't Can anyone think of somebody? Maybe Peyton Manning, was he considered generational? In the last 20 years only Manning won one SB that was considered a generational prospect.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-sat...480--ncaaf.html I know, I know, I decry the very idea of "mock drafts" but just finished reading the referenced Sports Illustrated article about the QB for the currently #1 ranked Wildcats. Base on it he seems he would be a fantastic pick for a town like Chicago. And "they" are expecting him not to go early on drafts... So why not? Please don't tell me "we need OL help".

My best case scenario for the offseason would be this. Mike McCoy signs on as our assistant HC Jeffery resigns as a team favorable contract we sign as FAs Kewaan Short- playmaker at 5t Trumaine Johnson/CB Eric Barry/FS we have the money to spend might as well go after the best In the draft: we trade our first round pick to Cleveland who then selects a QB and we get #12/2nd round pick/3rd round pick with the 12th pick we take Tim Williams/edge rusher next to Garrett the best edge rusher in the draft 2) we trade our 2nd round and our 4th round for Jimmy G (we get our QB prospect with NFL experience and less risk th…

Aaron Rodgers has been pressured on nearly every snap and already sacked 5 times before the halfway point in the 2nd quarter. Bulaga is getting abused by the rookie Bruce Irvin similar to the Webb/Matthews matchup. This is shaping up to be even more of a disaster than what Cutler was up against last week, yet Rodgers remains composed and hasn't imploded. I don't want to hear any more excuses about Cutler. He's not the only quarterback faced with the task of overcoming a bad offensive line. Edit: 8 sacks and counting..

1. If I was Jay Cutler, I would either demand that in the offseason they make a valiant effort to improve the OL or I would demand a trade. He's a human being; how much more of a beating can he take? Meanwhile, they invest $20m/season in him but do nothing to help. They have midgets out there at WR, Kellen Davis can't block, and their OL is trash. 2. Considering the circumstances, I think the defense did fine. The DL didn't get pressure but a lot of Brees' throws were quick ones. If they had more rest, they would've played better. 3. Chris Harris, as anyone today could see, is a key to this defense. The Bears other safeties are dogs***. Extend him and Forte asap…

Bears | Cutler has spoken with Marshall Comment (0) Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:56:25 -0700 Marty O'Brien, of The Newport News Daily Press, reports Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler said he has spoken with disgruntled Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall and would not have a problem reuniting with Marshall if the Bears were able to land him. "I talked to 'B' a few days ago. Just checking in on him and seeing how he's doing, because I went through a similar thing that he's going through," Cutler said. "I played with Brandon for three years and I think he's one of the best receivers in the NFL. I think he can be one of the greatest ever to play. He's big and fast, and can do e…

My Pick Is Javon Wims.

Here is a 4 round mock draft thats pretty interesting as a Bears fan. The link is http://www.drafttek.com/ Can't believe they have Jonathan Stewart lasting until the 2nd Round. I would also avoid Hart unless we cut Wolfe. 1-11 Andre Woodson QB Kentucky other guys available worth considering: Jeff Otah OT Pitt, Kenny Phillips SS Miami, Chris Williams OT Vand. 2-42 Michael Oher OT Miss other guys available worth considering: Gosder Cherilus OT BC, Jonathan Stewart RB Org, Mario Manningham WR Mich, 3-74 Michael Hart RB Mich 3-90 Michael Hamllin SS Clemson other guys available worth considering: Earl Bennett WR Vand, Dorien Bryant…

Massie looking like a terrible signing, Freeman a great signing. Robbie Gould may be missed more than we know. Any other thoughts?

This is now a must-win, mainly because the Bears have to win games they are favored to win at home. With GB playing in DEN and DET playing LAR, there is a chance that both GB and DET lose, and CHI wins, which would reset the division back to the way it was before the loss to GB, making the Week 16 rematch even that much more important. CLE's defense is no joke. They are pretty much a top 5 defense across the board. Their offense looks more explosive with Sanders at QB. This is going to be an ugly FG war. Bears 20-16.

OK, now I'm starting to get jealous! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,526431.column

Holy s**t- 2 consecutive classic Super Bowl's. Fitzgerald is, hands down, the best WR in the game. Holmes is the MVP. Thoughts?

Eligible for supplemental draft but will be suspended for 1st 5 games. So he gets suspended in the NFL for something he did in college. Personally I think this is a joke & a very slippery slope for the NFL to get on. What net will Hester be suspended for his involvement in the Miami stuff?

"That's right. It's where receivers go to die." "In the time Brett Farve has started for the Packers -- what's it been, 16 years? I bet the Bears have had 16 different starting quarterbacks. You got to find the right guy and stick with him." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...8/10/ufl/1.html
