Before this all started the Bears did need a QB, they are stuck with Cutler because of his contract's guaranteed money.

I thought he played NT in college.Undersized yes but he did play a one gap style of this scheme. He's going to Washington and what position is he playing there? Don't the skins play a 3-4 or are they switching to a 4-3.

The spokesman for the league Greg Aiello released a statement condenming the flood of media leaks about signings and has threatened to investigate thses leaks. Really! Your league is over taking 2 leagues currently in season and one in preseason for buzz with March Madness on the horizon and you're going to investigate what? This was nothing more than rhetoric.

I get that but if they still seem quiet on what is going on with Tillman, theres the leader in the secondary.

With him being injured I'm not sure what they could do and I really don't know about how the CBA and injury settlement works.

Problem is what young safeties is he teaching? Mundy and Vereen or a draft pick?

Agreed and his 10sacks prior to that injury backs that up. My point is that there is a lot of guaranteed money tied up in the DL.

AZ you and I have always had similar thoughts and I agree but teams are rarely developing QBs. The last one developed here was Orton and he wasn't really developed, he was thrown into the fire.

Ok I feel that but do you tie up more cap space on the line? Two of the guys we are talking about will not be available for the "Voluntary" veterans mini camp right before the draft and with this being a new staff...?

I remember when you were going to leave this board and post less and I am personally glad you didn't because right now you are on fire! Thank you for being you.

Anyone hearing or seeing anything in regards to Wisnewski(sp)?

I agree and believe the Bears should see if they could trade him to say Tampa for a 2016 conditional pick. Houston as well as Ratliff have played in this scheme before so I understand the fit for those 2 but with McPhee coming I wonder how they view Willie Young.

Though I'm reluctantly excepting the switch to a 3/4 since there really is nothing I can do about it except whine, Emery's guaranteed money to Allen,Houston and Young is going to handicap this team when it comes to producing more D-linemen for this scheme.This combined with whatever money is going to the young draft choices makes me wonder how much money do you tie up on a DL?

After my 5th appletini what is Tampa going to do with Glennon when they draft Winston? lol

I like the signing and hope his knees are ok.Heard Vinny Cerrato on Score mention that last season was his first healthy one in a contract year. His 64 qb pressures in 50% of the Ravens defensive snaps is impressive.

In my lifetime there have only been a few Pac 12(10) QBs who have come in and fared well in the NFL. Off the top of my head Dan Fouts,Troy Aikman ,John Elway, Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck come to mind and I'll throw Jim Plunkett in also even though he didn't do it with the team that drafted him. All the Kyle Bollers, Marc Sanchezes, Pat Haydens, Rob Johnsons,Rodney Peetes,Vince Evans,Matt Leinerts etc. haven't done well with Vince Evans becoming a solid backup only with his second team.Then when you factor in how well some of the other West Coast teams qbs have fared in the league it gets worse. Fresno State, SanDiego State non of these guys have done well yet they continue to have a top prospect in the draft year after year. If I was going to take a guy from that conference it would be Hunley. Let himsit for a year and then put him on the field.

5 yrs 47.5 M contract.

So you hate the idea of a veteran player teaching a younger player the ins and outs of the game? Thats what he did last year while on the sidelines as well as the year before. I think there is more to playing corner than punching the ball out of someones arms. If signed Tillman's goal should be to stay healthy first and foremost.

There was a thread a while ago that pointed out Fangio's preference at NT and I believe the poster sighted weights and heights of his former NTs and that didn't fit Knighton or Shelton's physical make up.BTW just because their is interest reported doesn't mean he is a done deal, since he has hit a couple means he is due for a miss or two.

Just asking but, if the Bears sign McCourty and resign Peanut who do you think the defensive leader is? Right now without Peanut in the mix is Ratliff.

With this recent move just made I believe BPA is going to happen in this draft.

Whats wrong with taking Huntley or Petty this year and letting him sit for half a season behind Claussen?
