Maybe we felt he doesn't bring to the table what we need. Too me he is the same type of receiver Hester is - speed. Why bring him in if he doesn't bring anything to the team. We really need a big possession receiver. This is either Booker (older model) or Johnson (younger model). Peace

Porter to Jacksonville 6 yrs 30 million with 10 million guarenteed Bruce to 49ers 2 yrs deal Stallworth to Browns 3 yrs, 10 million Wilford to Miami Berrian to Queens 6 yrs 42 millon with 16 million guarenteed Here's who is left: Bryan Johnson (meeting with Buffalo today) Reche Caldwell Drew Carter DJ Hackett Jabar Gaffney Keary Colbert Marty Booker Robert Ferguson (if we are desperate) Javon Walker (is he a drillrod; can he stay healthy?) Brandon Lloyd (would need to be a minimum contract - not sure what he brings to us) We need to go get one of these. We cannot go into next season with our current group of receivers. Peace

3 yrs 10 million. Peace

Hear is the article from the Suntimes. I have read somewhere else his SB was 16 million - wow!!!! http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...n030108.article Peace

6 yrs, 42 million with 23 million in the first 3 yrs per ZZ on the SCORE. Way, way too expensive in my opinion. Peace

I don't see Angelo reducing the # to Briggs. That's just not a good business practice. Why would Briggs be worth less two weeks later??? Peace

I think the fate of Berrian and Briggs affect what the Bears will do. I think the Bears want both of these players back at reasonable prices. Most likely that will not happen with Berrian but it is looking like there is now possibly a good chance for Briggs to come back. The quicker these 2 situations resolve, the faster you will see the Bears spring into action. Peace

I agree. Just pointing out the current market. Peace

with St Louis for 5 yrs 14 million with a 5 million signing bonus. This gives you a ball park at how much Robbie Gould is going to cost. Peace

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

I heard the same thing. This could get interesting. Peace

Atlanta is all I have heard. I can't believe he would want to play there but I'm sure if the $$$ is right he will sign on the dotted line. Peace

Okwo hasn't played a down in the league. Jamar is the heir apparent unless we sign someone else. Peace

Signed by the Jags for 6 yrs, 30 million with a 10 million signing bonus. Fairly comparable to the Bears offer to Berrian for 5 yrs 25 million with a 8 million signing bonus. I think Minny is going to offer probably 5 yrs 30 million with a 12 million signing bonus and he will sign on the dotted line. Free agent WRs left that interest me: Bryan Johnson (meeting soon - hopefully we sign him) Reche Caldwell Drew Carter DJ Hackett Jabar Gaffney Keary Colbert Marty Booker Robert Ferguson (if we are desperate) Javon Walker (is he a drillrod; can he stay healthy?) I am really hoping we can sign Johnson. I saw that Wilford signed a 13 million deal with the Jags. I would think Johnson's contract would be comparable. Johnson has 210 receptions with 9 TDs in 5 yrs. Wilford 141 receptions with 15 TDs in 4 yrs. Peace

from the Suntimes http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...t022908.article Peace

Please spare me. They spend up to the cap every yr. I'm a season ticket holder as well - what does that have to do with our front office??? Peace

If they offer him that I hope we do not match. Way, way to much for him. We can most likely bring in Johnson probably for half of that. Peace

Yep. 24 hrs into FA an the panic has already started. We probably shouldn't even take the field this next yr. Peace

The sky is falling!!! The sky is falling!!! Might as well not play next yr we are going to be so bad. C'mon guys. We are less than 24 hrs into FA. How about we wait until after the draft before we lose our perspective. Peace

He wants way too much. If he can get it somewhere else, best of luck to him. Peace

Check the bottom of this article from the Suntimes. Bears must have felt there would be some interest. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear29.article Peace

Patten - no. Booker - yes. Peace

What a tool. Step up and be a man. I am glad he is gone. Peace

I think you forgot Neil Anderson. He was much, much better than Jones. Peace
