It didnt say, but I assume that is including the rookie pool.

I think Lawson is worth a look too, but looks like the packers are looking at him too.

Jensen tweeted the Bears have about $7.5 million left. What are some values we can get?

Money was not the issue is this case. The issue was offensive control.

Great analysis. Agree on most points. It seems like Emery is a build through the draft guy, as expected, and typically wont spend big money unless its a special circumstance. I dont see him spending big money on the players that are left. I think the line will automatically be better now that Shartz is not calling plays, but I think it will still be addressed in the draft or FA. Maybe we can start to see some bargains.

And they took those opportunities to stock up with talent. Where is the talent and depth the Bears stockpiled from being mediocre? This is the reason JA is gone and emery is here.

I would agree though that Royal + a high draft pick would be too much considering the other holes.

Exactly, the goal needs to be getting to a place where we can take BPA and let them ease into the starting gig.

He averaged more yards per return than Hester on kick returns.....over the past four years has had the same amount of TD's as hester on kick returns BTW dont cherry pick stats from 06-07, thats just sad.....

Very interesting

Statistically, he was better than Hester..... Silly rabbit...

The best thing McCown had going for him was that he had experience in running the clown show which was Martzball. Campbell is an upgrade.

For 1.5 million you get the Todd Collins of the world......

Imagine, an actual backup qb who could come into a game and not be utter trash. Its amazing to see actual moves that make the team better.

He is cheaper than V-Jax, but still makes quite a bit. I've seen 9-11 million, but dont know what the exact cap hit is.

Still dont see them getting Williams. I kind of hope I'm wrong.

Emery = Ninja

I actually like Eddie Royal as a cheap option. he kind of got hosed with McDaniel/Tebow in Denver.

Agreed. The only route he runs full speed is a go route, and thats on the plays specifically designed for him. All this talk of 1000 yards and 10 TD's is hilarious. Must not understand the niners offense. Count me as one who is glad he signed elsewhere.

Agree. I would like to see a mid round pick behind Forte and Bell. Maybe Chris Polk. I dont know what round he is supposed to go in.

I would love to see him brought in.

Me too, I still can't believe they would tie up that much money in the DE position, but it would be a bold move for sure.

I would like to see us fill most of our spots in FA, and actually take BPA in the draft no matter what position it is (besides qb) Thats when you know you have a top notch team.

Lovie had dinner with him.
