We will be lucky if we get a 6th round with the league knowing he will be gone no matter what. Think about it, if someone wants him, they will be expected to give him a new contract. It may not happen as a trade, may be just cut.

Bennett is probably gone, but they are not done at that position. Will address it in the draft.

I totally believe that they are looking at 2 and 3 years from now and at that point he would be irrelevant. I think he will do ok this year, but this is about getting younger and the future. Matt is not part of that, some people just need to move on . Hanging on to our heros longer that we should is not a good football decision.

They could go so many ways with that first pick. I think they valve the RB a lot in this offense and could see them take EZ if still there. Also we need playmakers on D and if they think one of the ones Jason listed as worth it, they could draft him too.

I think if Wentz is there, they will draft him. I believe he is the only prospect worthy of a high pick(potential). I think Goff and Lynch are 2nd and 3 rd picks but will be evaluated because of the NFL QB issues.

With football, the past is a measuring stick for future play but odds are not in Fortes favor going forward. History always repeats itself. I think he slowly tappers on, this next year he will be ok, but not what he use to be. You get rid of people one year before not one year after and that is the nature of the NFL. This is building for 2 to 3 years from now, not this year. Realism has to be part of the plan. Who will be relevant in 2 or 3 years from now? Forte would not have been. Bennett is a hit, but keeping him and having him hold out would not do this team any favors and he will hold out if retained. All that does it build a bigger wall going forward. Fox wants team players here and Bennett is on his own plane. Bushrod was no longer contributing. I think Massie is the same type of player that is healthy. An average vet that has some game. The difference is he is in his prime, not on the tail end of a career.

I totally agree with you and Lawson is one of the top 3 rated OLBs. McPhee is a good player but should only be your 2nd leading sacker on a team and then you have something.

Here is some highlights on Hicks http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...58-0a01bc292ee7

Another DE we could get cheap, Jared Click/6-4 and 285 had 48 ts last year with two sacks ,FF and 2 PDs. Although I think Ego come back and plays well after injury.

Green is gone but he is riding high these days with knowledge I would say there is a good chance we may bring back Montgomery if they do not think Grassu is quite strong enough yet

Don't get to loud, Alaska is watching, he only wants us to sign all pros, good football players apparently isn't enough

Dandy downer when good news is happening, lighten up, if you look at every WR in the league there is misses, try to imagine two huge DEs down your throat and you get the throw off

ILB----check(two) Freeman and Trevathan OL----check right tackle Massie CB----check Porter DE....check Hicks now we need a safety another CB a TE I would like Walter Thurmond here..can play CB or S if not settle for David Burton or Rahim Moore if not Thurmond at CB then Patrick Robinson Scott Chandler at TE.. a good blocker that has some catch ability

actually Chicago Bears twitter account with the first to post the news, then it was Greg Gabriel, he knew someone in the room

The guy is a huge man, you stick him with Goldman and a wall starts to get built

two year deal, about frickin time

The other thing is beside the upgrade in play they are both leader types, plus what they mean to the efficiency of the defense.

I think they know a stud would add so much to this offense. Would be happy with that pick. Think what Gurley added to St Louis with no QB.

WR is probably the only position we wont be looking at. To much invested in WR to add another.

Apparently they dont feel the same way. I think they still want one more back and do the RBC thing, Forte is on the downslide, they want a big body to pound the other teams, and he aint that.

Just seen where we offered Gersham a 4 year deal and he choose to go back to AZ on a 1 year deal because the money wasnt as good as he wanted. Seen where we actually offered CJ Anderson more money than he is getting from Miami but he wanted to play for Gase, the guy he feels responsible for his success in Den

One down, now we should go after Scott Chandler. better blocker and has had success as a pass catcher.

First of all he started in 2013 in NO. he had 56 ts and 4.5 sacks. secondly Fairly is two years older than Hicks. to compare that to the best 5T in the league 64 ts and 12 sacks. He isn't chump change. Fairly last years stats: 29 ts, 1/2 sack . Fairly has never had over 35 tackles in a year Fairly's best year for sacks was 6 Fairly is smaller, slower and older, less productive. bad comparison.

Actually that report was false. If you look at Jets website , he is not listed in transactions. It is not an oversite. If you go to Jets beat writers, one lady reported that the deal is not done yet. It was reported on twitter was latter shown that was incorrect.

If we fill all of our general needs in FA, with his old coach here, I can see where they would take EZ. You have to have more than one RB, so Langford would never be a waste. If EX makes us get to a SB quicker, Im all in. As far as a QB, I see us only taking Wentz, if he is there. I dont think Goff or Lynch have as much upside to be picked that high.
