  1. Your absolutely right. I would never go as far as to say nobody is untradeable. If someone is dumb enough to over pay for a player I would except. If I was GM I would field calls for any player.
  2. Tebow wont do anything in the pros. Everyone agrees there. But I won't be shocked to see him go in the 1st round. I am thinking that Jacksonville will take him in either the 1st or 2nd round. The reason is because Tebow will at least put butts in seats and help the franchise stay there in Florida.

    Thanks for the info. I don't hate DM, I hate the situation that the team has put him in with the constant position change every year. He has got to be getting sick of it by now.

    Vasher cut

    Your right. I am sure the team wants to get a high draft pick for him but nothing I have heard has him going anywhere for anything good. If JA can get a 1st(unlikely) or a high 2nd I would be ok with it. But most analysts are saying that he will get between and low end 3rd and a 4th at best. I would rather see him and Martz get on the same page. Martz has never had a TE like Olsen before. I know Martz prefers to have a blocking TE which we have now with Brandon M but its not like Martz doesn't utilize the TE though. Ernie Conwell was probably his best receiving TE and he got 38 balls in 2002. I don't to hear about Vernon Davis because he couldn't stay out of trouble long enough to even warrant playing time.

    Vasher cut

    According to the Tribune this morning by us cutting Vasher we save $10.25 million over the remainder of his contract. Stop dreaming about Olsen. He isn't going anywhere.

    I think Manning needs to understand 1 thing though. Out of all the RFA's out there only 1, that's right only 1 players has signed an offer sheet with another team. That tells me that its unlikely that another team will offer him anything at all. And the fact that he hasn't done anything to this point in his career.

    Vasher cut

    This is the perfect year to get rid of bad contracts as it doesn't hurt the team now with no cap at all. My only question is how much did we save from us cutting him.
  8. Oh I know, I am the same way but when there is no football I look at baseball.

    Question

    I know this is off base but just wondering if anyone knows of a Cubs forum like we have here for the Bears.

    I agree. He hasn't shown the ability to even learn 1 position yet.
  11. The Mike Martz offense doesn't even utilize a FB so it doesn't matter.
  12. According to Brad Biggs on his Twitter account, he is out. Apparently, veteran FB Jason McKie wasn't going to be a fit in the new Martz scheme. The #Bears have released him per @vxmcclure23.
  13. I can't arque with that. Hell if you wanna make it interesting go out and get TO then also. Could you imagine that locker room. There would be a lot of egos for Halas Hall.
  14. Yes I agree the team was bad but the point is that they were a very good team in '08, they signed Milton Bradley to help get them over and instead he destroyed the team.
  15. TO destroys teams from the inside out. This happens all the time with all sports. Prime example is look at the Chicago Cubs last year. A very good team that goes out signs Milton Bradley. Team was willing to give him a chance despite the obvious character issues. Anybody who follows baseball saw what happened to the Cubs last year so much so that the team was willing to straight cut him thinking that its an addition to the team. You can't just have all the best players on your team. The team needs unity. TO's teams never have unity and at the 1st sign of trouble you will see him through the QB under the bus. Most so called experts say that Cutler is one of the hardest players in the league to get along with because of his competitiveness. Do you really want to see what could happen when Cutler decides not to through TO the ball 10+ times in a game. Granted the team would be very entertaining to say the least but not sure I want to see it with a team that I follow.
  16. I am a fan of incognito but the problem that I have with him is his nastiness tends to land him in trouble more times than not.
  17. Your right. This past year Cleveland refused to give him the chance because they didn't want him to surpass the % of snaps taken because they didn't want to pay him. I bet that if 3 QB's went down and he was the only guy remaining that they would have called someone up from the PS or worse yet do what we did with Chad Hutchinson. Call while he is surfing, just to insure they didn't have to pay him. Lets also keep in mind how bad Cleveland is. Really bad team with NO receivers and an Oline that might have been worse than ours. I still believe that Quinn can be successful in the NFL if given a real opportunity to play. My gut tells me that he will be given that chance in Denver and he will succeed as that is a much better offense that would be ideal for his arm strength that he has and that Orton does not have. It was joked on the SCORE maybe Orton should pull a Cutler and ask to be traded now lol.
  18. Who do you think will be available on the Oline that is a vet. I haven't heard any names really.
  19. Lets also keep in mind that LS and JA have both said that we need to get better at FS. Not sure of the wording they used but they addressed the FS position specifically.
  20. Denver just traded Peyton Hillis, this years 6th and a late round pick next year for Brady Quinn. Kyle had a good year with us then gets traded away. He put up good numbers last year for Denver and now who know what will happen. Poor guy just cant catch a break.
  21. Just imagine if Urlacher, Harris and Peppers can regain that fire to go along with the fire that Briggs has. The D could be pretty good.
  22. Has Dallas lost a free agent. If they have not then they can't go after him.
  23. Brad Biggs is reporting via Twitter that Kevin Jones has officially been released.
  24. I have a hard time believing that they are completely dumb and idiotic. I guess my other point is how come another team hasn't offered him a contract yet.
