I'm not sure how the money would just count this year or not, but they are already set how they will be cap wise so it really don't matter. The tape is not really good with him being hurt and the different bad scheme before. I just personally feel it was best to stop and check him out before they let him go. Most likely nothing was there, but a 6th round pick is just getting the guy that would be a UDFA that you wanted. I'd check out the first round pick, with the offensiveline guru in Kromer that had linemen make the probowl at every position. And it's not really breaking rules if the work outs aren't mandatory.
If we just ended up cutting him, his money ends up being dead cap money,he still has guarantees from his rookie deal. In trading him, his salary is just gone. Since we got rid of him we have now doubled our cap space. That will matter if someone is released that we want and now we have some money to play with. I used the wrong word when I stated that, we have new coaches and if would seem to be a good idea to get acclimated to the new coaches, new play book, new team mates, but nope , he is pissed because after watching tape on him, he got demoted. So now he is gone.

Emery does leave me scratching my head more often than not. The McClellan and Long picks in the first round, letting Louis bolt, hiring of a HC that had been out of the league for years, ignoring the line completely last year, and so on could be added to the list.
I am on board with some of the decisions, I like Trestman's hire and Long as a project, but I do see them as gambles.
I felt Rodriguez would thrive in this offense with Trestman's love for passing out of the backfield, I think that they should have atleast seen Carimi in camp before they let him go for next to nothing, and I don't even want to go in to how I felt about the Urlacher situation.
If they had him pegged as a backup OG,I dont see this as a bad decision. There are new people doing the evaluations, and if they didnt like what they see, Im OK with that. He is said to have slow feet and obviously coped an attitude when not being a RT anymore, so what difference will it make. We have the questionable Webb, backup OT in Scott and the new project that could be better than all of them. J. Mills. I am for renewing the roster as soon as possible. If he looked bad on tape and aint following the rules, lets roll with new people. The problem is if we wait to see if he is better and then cut him, his money this year turns into dead cap space. We now have got rid of his salary and got a little something in return.

Garza didn't play that well last year so I think he has real competition in Lonergan. I agree he's the favorite and should end up the starter but after seeing all the changes this coaching staff has made on the line he's far from secure as a starter IMO. I prefer to have his experience making calls especially if he's going to be next to a guy like Long who has very limited experience playing OG.
Garza will definitely be starting with all the new faces, but hopefully someone develops so he can be gone next year.

I'm interested to see how he looks in camp
I would say he has to be better than the end of the WR bunch we have right now. Lets roll the dice and start throwing some 7's.
-
There idiots for signing one of your favorite players? Your one of his biggest supporters outside of the obvious skip bayless. You make no sense at all
Lets see what a creative mind has in store for the TEBOW.
-
Completely agree. Both moves, especially the ERod one, were rushed.
I cant say I completely agree with his decisions, but got to give him credit to have balls to do what he thinks is right. The report card is on the clock.
-
Rod is the first bust on Emery's plate.
He appears unafraid to move forward despite being his pick.
He have some along the way, we will just have to wait to see which ones are plums.
-
Rodriguez was released today, Carmi traded, the hits just keep on rolling.
-
I only said that because you said STFU. Don't like it, don't read it and don't reply.
I have to admit , this blog would be boring in you werent on here, actually there are several on here that make this an interesting place to be.
-
I think it was a good pick, you can't foresee injuries.
I hope he doesn't turn into Colombo....
He may end up being able to play somewhere else but they didnt think he fit in here so got rid of him. If you look at his first few years in the NFL, he deserved to be gone, thats life in the fast lane.
-
I'd say its depressing because the OL sucked, isn't deep, and they're so quickly dumping a former first rounder a short time after he was drafted. I'd have liked the move more if he got into training camp and they could tell if he was fully healed from his injuries.
Where the problem came in is he had money on the table, if he was cut the money would just be dead money. Now were off the hook and get something out of it. As someone said on here before, drafting pre injured players has its draw backs. We just have to look forward and hope they get it all figured out. At least they have the balls to get rid of 1st round picks it they dont think there any good, instead of keeping him a few more years and just be done with him.

Contraty to popular blief, my team name is the Mad Lithuanians...
Actually, I did know that.
-
This is always a bad time of the year to stay interested in football for me, draft gone, free agency almost gone, training camp hasnt started yet. Since I play a lot of fantasy football and I know people on this board better, I am not sure who everybody is in the FF money league here is. I know Adam and bowling, but who else is in that league?
I am Devildogs, so who else is what teams?

He was part of the record setting defense in New Orleans. His 22 solo tackles the last two years along with a total of 0.5 sacks goes a long way to explaining why nobody wants him. I am not optimistic if we go after this reclamation project.
Missing in this news has been the fact that we seem to be parting ways with Idonije. Izzy is more of a DE although I know he spent some time at DT. It seems the Bears are happy with what they have at DE after the draft.
I think it is just trying to fill a rotation role at DT and sometimes a fresh start puts players in a better position to play better. We still need a DT so we will see what he might have.

Hilarious. You couldn't be more wrong. Weems is less a WR than Tebow is a QB. Get it through your thick skull: He is a ST player. Period! It's possible to be just a ST player. Many do it. Sure, in a pinch they might ask him to run a route as the 5th or 6th WR, but he makes virtually zero impact as a WR...which means he's not a WR. The 53-man roster allows for this privilege. 11 on offense, 11 on defense. That's 22. Figure in backups and that's 44. Figure in specialists (e.g. Punter, kicker, long snapper), and that's 47ish. There is room for a pure ST player...which is what Weems plays.
He is listed on the roster and depth chart as a WR, we know he isnt any good at it but you have to be listed as something. There are several players that play only STs that are listed at some position, it is splitting hairs. Your both right.
-
That's just stupid. I don't get paid to post on the Bearstalk website. Or anywhere else. If I had mayer's job I'd answer better questions than the ridiculous cherries he picks, and I would be a much more liked journalist. Huge difference between tolerating something when it's your job, and posting semi-anonymously on a message board. You even admit we could do it. I'm quite sure he had better questions to answer.
Your right , he picks the questions to answer and sure does do a lot of stupid ones.
-
Wasted pick when it happened, wasted potential when he got switched to FB and got minimally used, and now he's likely to fulfill the trifecta of waste...wasted talent.
NOW you can say a wasted pick. A 4th rounder should be more part of our plans than playing FB, when last year our weakness was at TE.
-
Sort of surprising because I thought they had a big enough following online to generate ad revenue that would compensate.
A few years ago they took on some investors to keep afloat and the investors pulled the plug.
-
I thought they did a good job, didnt always agree with them, but worth checking out,especially around draft time.
-
Interesting to see after the fact. Probably puts to bed any sense that the Cowboys would have taken Long over Frederick.

Actually there first round pick, they had rated as a 2nd rounder. So much for someone thinking there smart.
-
I don't know if this is a simple reply of truth, or a clever double entendre.
If it's simple truth, I agree. Mayer sucks.
If not, bravo for lacing sarcasm and a reference to one of my favorite lines from Taken.
Actually, I was being serious, I just dont think LM is that sharp, you could do a better job.BUT I doubt if you would a big off enough of a suckass for the Bears to hire you.
-
It's infuriating! I asked legit questions in the past, and they never get answered. Almost nothing of significance ever gets answered.
Maybe next he can answer whether Jay Cutler has the starter's role locked up this year.
Thats because you are smarter than he is and it offends him.
-
No I wouldn't call it a smear campaign but he made enough comments and he's never cared for media. He has said so several times. Didn't he once also say he hated the media and fans Lol. He was no saint. He's talked more with media this off season than he has in his whole career
What a putz Urlacher is, he comes out and states he would have played for Dallas this year. They werent interested in him, he just says dumb things sometimes. That is why it was always hard to endear yourself to him, great on the field but a putz with the fans and media.

If we went 10-6 with Tice calling the offense last year or was it a offence? If Trestman and Kromer are 1/2 as good as what as been quoted then I think we go a long way in the playoffs. If the team is status quo as of last year then surely the Oline has got to be improved and doesn't the linebackers at least look to be more athletic. maybe I am being optimistic with rose coloured spectacles but as Sitka once said " I think we are going to the dance ".
Every year is different and usually new coaches dont do well there first year, but if the OLine is fixed and Cutler and Trestman click we could be in for a successful year. I would say 9-7 to 11-5 is a realistic projection. I will be more specific after training camp. I am a glass half full kind of a guy and look forward to this year.
Should we be interested in ?

Travis Jackson/QB was released, should we be interested? I think he also would become our top backup if we picked him up.
Also Vonte Leach is said to be going to be released today. The top rated blocking FB in the league last year.
