QB Rex Grossman (3rd QB), CB Nathan Vasher, SAF Josh Gattis, LB Lance Briggs, G Josh Beekman, WR Mike Haas, DE Mark Anderson, NT Darwin Walker Hard to have a lot of faith in a defense missing Vasher, Briggs, Anderson, and Walker, though it might be good to get a long look at Jamar Williams (who I assume will be taking Briggs' place) and another look at the DTs.

My guess, and decide for yourself if this is optimistic or not: Kurt Warner Bottom line is the Bears need to get someone in here who can give them consistent average QB play. Warner's not going to be handed the starting job in Arizona, and if he's not, he'll want to go somewhere where he will. I don't think he will cost a lot, particularly since he's a free agent next year. I think the Bears trade a low draft pick for him, give him a 1-2 year extension, and draft a replacement in the middle rounds.

I gotta be me.

According to this list (http://www.kffl.com/static/nfl/features/freeagents/fa.php?option=By+Team&y=2008), UFAs are: Grossman Berrian Gilmore R. Brown Ayenbadejo McClover Ayenbadejo is worth keeping for special teams alone. I'd like to keep Berrian, but I have no idea what his value in the open market is. The rest can go as far as I'm concerned. I would have no problem dropping Miller and Archuleta. Bradley's been disappointing, but I don't know that he's making enough that dropping him is worthwhile. If you bring back Berrian and maybe pick up another decent WR, I'd be OK letting Moose go, but our WR corps isn't great as it is.

Kennedy came out the same year as his teammate Michael Haynes I believe. I remember a lot of guys (me included) hoped he would fall to us that year. Instead we took Haynes. Interesting to note they were both big busts.
