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.

I wasnt agreeing with it just tried to show on one person suggests something and another person considers it a fact.

I was trying to be sarcastic.I dont think Weems is worth 1.25

No not saying that, the point Im trying to make is when people talk about the best DEs in the league they start with sacks. I know all the numbers add up to different assestments and they matter. I dont view Jerry Hughes as an elite DE because his assessments look good.PFF is a good tool to use to judge people but it isnt the bible in football information.

Just seen an national article that stated THE BEARS PURSUE BYRD AND WARD. There was an article in the SunTimes by Jahns that stated the Bears might be interested in going after those two because we had bad safeties last year. So someone else uses that to write an article that states we are pursuing them. Rumors get started on opinions and then they become statements. It is all bull crap. Ill stick with Brad Briggs,and weed thru the rest.

Think of it this way, Shea lead our team is disruptions . The only thing that stat means is he wasnt any good.

It is customary for pro scout to work out draftees. I dont think that is a great indicator.

He has only been average(Paea)but he had injuries last year and lousy line mates. At best he is a rotational player.

I totally get and agree what you have to say, just dont think it plays out that way. Just trying to be real.

Actually Weems make more plays in a season than Hester did, but think Weems is over paid.

I agree they paid him like a top WR, so he should want to be here for a song.

I think there going behind the columns.They might be a little cheaper there.

Not to change the subject but I just went over 3000 on here, Im trying to catch the guys in front of me but they keep having opinions.

You have a good plan, just hope it works out that way.

I like him but in that year he had 9 sacks. I agree there is more to it, but look at the top DEs they are mainly measured by sacks. PFF is only what the elite fans judge by.

To be honest, Emery just does not do things, as we see them, he has a plan, will sit back and be surprised.

I would love for you to be right, but we arent running a football team, we just have opinions. I am trying to state what I think Emery will do. Leftovers get vet min.

Are you assuming Melton is back? I think if M,R, and Collins are there we only bring in one draft pick and a vet min.

Conte actually played well in 2012, because the rest of the defense played at a higher level. His played looked worst when he was put in a different place. We can not rebuild the defense in one year so need a better player to rise above that.

When you go splash in FAgency , you overpay for talent you missed on in draft. The draft is the place to make a splash. Your math on all your stating sounds good, but suspect it doesnt translate exactly as you state. We have large number of players to add, just not 6 to 8. I am all in on your criteria, but dont think the Bears will do it that way. We are strapped because of the large number of players we need to add.

An article in NFL Mocks website had an article talking about the Bears making many 2nd tier players instead of a couple big names I think this is more on FAgency pans out instead of the Byrds and Bennetts. http://nflmocks.com/2014/03/04/chicago-bea...fl-free-agency/

I think top 10 players being there would definitely change our pick. Emery's board may look much different than the consensus opinion.

I hope your right, I think he would be the BAP for FA defensive end, would love him to be here. Just not seeing Phil on board with that much money.

I think the only way they dip into Cutler money is a last resort, and with your scenario,leaving Morgan and Blake out takes care of that. I think you put together a good arrangement but just dont think Phil we go big with Bennett, and going after Morgan, although after reading about him, may have some upside.
