I will predict our FAgency moves so everybody can ignore my hits and condemn my misses Our own: Wootten D. J. Williams N. Collins Bowman Tillman-I think he ends up back and we lose Melton Britton Palmer Others: W. Young?DE-I think they add someone young with upside and dont win out on big names bidding wars C.Clemons/S- A solid younger player J.Arenas/CB-just a backup but can be a KR Dexter McCluster/RB-a speed backup to Forte-SWR- and KR Probably wont be right on any of these picks but this is not who I want but think the Bears will add due to cap restraits. Not its your turn to put your name on it

Wow we agree on something, no class.

I agree, find someone that can make other contributions.

Lets not forget Briggs was a whiny little bitch with his contract.The supposed defense leader, came back from his injury out of shape. Couldnt find him on the field. I would have no problem if we got rid of him. The Hester, Urlacher, I loved them guys, but time is always moving forward and I never liked Briggs. A good player, but I guarantee he will be whining about a new contract before the season is over.

there not dipping into his contract for a measly 2 mil, I guarantee that . We will soon find out, your all in, I think the Bears are out with that contract.

The good and bad,of Phil is he doesnt say anything and surprises us, the good it is very interesting.

The problem is teams like Jack and Oakland has tons of cap space and can smack a big number on him, if one team does we have lost our edge. $$$ comes first, I wish is wasnt true.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/03/06/dur...-agency-primer/ This had a lot of valid points in the article, I think he is right on with FAgency, we will be going after valve and quantity .

I dont know where to put this, but was reading where Peanut is not released by the doctors yet and for new teams will come into play with how much money he gets. That could keep the price down and put us back in play.

I get all that, I was just using the sack as a point of combined views of players, I dont think it is the only measuring stick. It is just most great DEs we look back on were big is sacks.All the other stuff matters, but Hughes is at the top of that stat, an is a backup, just no big deal. M. Willams is why he has elevated stats.

That of him moving to safety, was just one writer making the comment , and everybody and there son giving it life.

I think if any of those players on are on board, we could have a couple of teams running up the ante to gain that slot. That would be great, but wouldnt want to drop more that 10 spots. I think one of Ealy,Donald,or Hageman could still be there at that spot. I am starting to think Hageman could be a target, with his athleticism. Someone Phil could get behind.

I think we will bring in our own guys over 30 that we are more familiar with , but Phil wants to get younger I got a feeling most FAs are going to be under 30.

I agree, the QBs are out, Barr and Mack are closer to our slot, we can justify a better fit in our defense but I think everybody else is in play.

I usually only notice you around during this time of year. This a big time of year, I am interested in, but you need to pop in more, you have good insight in matters all Bears.

what was different from your situation with the WRs is we now have a huge contract with Cutler, and changes their perspective on spending money. I still think we try to get Bennett, but if we can get him for 4 year 34 mil. were in play; if its the contract you suggested-no way. We are 5 days away from seeing what happens. The Cutler deal gives us flexibility,I just dont think the plan is to structure it that way and then take 10 out of it the first year to pay the difference that Bennett may bring.

My point for the last time is all the very good and great DEs are usually judged by there yearly sack total, I know that is only one primer I am just saying the stats you showed is just one to judge by. By some of the names on your list will probably never repeat those stats. Perfect example all the talk is how good Hardy is because of his sack total, he is 10th on your list. We both know he carries other skills, Hughes is rarely ever mentioned any where.

He is gone no matter what our opinions are, I think we can find someone, who can be our 3 RB or 4 WR or a backup DB that can be good, were never going to find someone as good as Hester in his prime, but he's not in his prime anymore. I think he has some gas left in the tank, but you dont pay players for past performance, you guess when he's done being effective and go from there. The Bears think its time to move on, the brass running the team owe him nothing. He got paid, for being a great KR, but that was yesterday and yesterday is gone.

I heard 260, so not much bigger. They are bringing in a bunch of cheap guys and see if they find a gem and the rest will hit the road on no guaranteed money deals.

If he stays healthy that will be a bargain price, if he isnt on the field alot, not a great risk with 4 mil.

IMO, you have to have one stud on the line, one stud LBer and a saftey and CB that have there shit together. Then and only then can you fill the rest of the defense with average players. Example-Seattle 1-very good LB-1 excellent S-1-excellent CB, and a DL with a lot of good players. Talent wins out if you want top 10 type of D. Your a very smart guy but if you think you can be all mediocre up front, you dont have a very good D.

I think he is full of information and is right most of the time, enlighten us with who you think is spot on for information? Other than you, I cant think of anybody else that is right all the time.

Of course I do, and understand the valve, but what would PFF have said of Anderson/DE his rookie year here? He had one good year, where is he now? I think a person needs to look at many things to judge players, Hughes might have did better with more snaps, but he didnt play them and we can only assume the results.He might have did nothing with them, we simply cant make things exist when the reality is actually different. As far as the WS, only went to one game last year, plan on several this year with a injection of something new.

He gave us a lot of great moments, but he is not the same player. I think he is worth keeping around for a min. deal but honestly we need someone that can be more than be just a returner. That goes for Weems too, we can il afford to keep specialty players, we have to have a kicker, punter, LS, but we really needs players that serve more than one purpose with such a screwed up roster. He made me a lot of money when he was 35-1 odds for (first to score) in the Super Bowl,for that I thank him, but I think it is time to move on. Somebody said this and it bears repeating"Its better to let a player go one year early than I year to late" I AGREE

I dont think Hughes is the best DE because his name was first is your stat category, that shows exactly what Im saying about all the stats that pop up. He didnt thou, so it is all speculation.
