Agreed - the pick for Berrian is what really matters. Peace

- Mike Brown was never a pro bowl safety. Very good, but he never went to the pro bowl. - Two crappy WRs. Booker and Lloyd did jack squat last yr. - We need to replace the RT. Williams is the replacement for St Clair at LT. Peace

I don't think they gave Earl a bonus so there is absolutely no risk. Peace

That requires he is available when we want to draft him. Peace

Agreed. Peace

Watched the tape from mini-camp on the Bears website. Larry Meyer mentioned that Joey had put on 15 pounds of muscle and looks extremely impressive. Look for him to take a big step up this yr at least on special teams. Peace

I remember going to Bears camp in Platteville back when Engram was on the team. He had a trick he would do with the jugs machine where he would start about 10 yards away and have them fire the ball at him. After each catch, he would move in a few steps until he was catching the ball as it was coming out the machine. It was extremely cool. Peace

It was sarcasm. He has not played since 2006. Injury in 2007 and cut before 2008. Just a training camp body. Peace

Drake has done nothing in the 5 yrs with the Bears to prove himself. Either we were drafting crappy players or he could not develop them. The only WR to have any success under Drake was Berrian. I said it at the end of the season and still say he should go. Peace

Good article. Let's hope he can get Anderson back to his previous playing level. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear19.article Peace

You're right - this could be bad. However, our o-line was getting old and we needed to rebuild it. Would have helped if Tait would have played one more yr but it is what it is. Peace

Agreed. We are going to add some bodies in the draft. We'll see how this all shakes out by training camp. Peace

I don't think Angelo is being restricted in any way. They set a value for JSC and decided not to go above it. Peace

Watch that he gets cut after this yr. Time to move on. Peace

Read in the Trib we only offered him a 3 yr 4.5 million dollar deal. I thought it was a 3 yr 14 to 16 million deal. I would think that leaves us a little room to negotiate up with him. I can't imagine Cleveland blowing the doors off for him. Peace

Lyman didn't make it in the league because he could not stay healthy. Haynes was simply a bad pick (where is he now?). Idonje should have been left at DE because he is a much better ST player when he is slimmed down. I think Bowman will be fine at safety (if he can stay healthy which has nothing to do with the position switch). Peace

I really think it's both. They want to win but they also want to maximize their profits. It's how they go about it that matters. Peace

Keep posting. Like you said, people can ignore if they do not want to read it. Peace

Nice that Angelo let him go now. It's good for employee/management relations going forward. Does anyone know what his cap hit will be? Peace

Probably not in the 1st 3 rounds but safeties are always good special team fillers so look for one round 4 and lower. Peace

No way does Denver trade Cutler to us without the first round pick this yr. More likely it would be Cutler for 1st round this yr, conditional pick, and Orton. Even then I don't see them doing it. Peace

You see this is a cheap, I see this as a great deal. If he doesn't work out, they cut him and it only costs 525k. Mike Brown cannot play FS anymore (he has lost a step). Further, he does not have the durability to play SS either. Once he was switched to SS, he was unable to finish 3 games and then went on IR. Mike Brown is one of my favorite all time Bears but it is clear to me he is done. Peace

Remember though, they cannot trade comp picks. They would have to trade our original picks to move up. Peace

Ding, Ding, Ding!!!!! We have a winner. He was gone sooner or later. I'm glad its now. Peace
