Bennett for Graham rumor
ESPN reporting Packers interested in Marty B (if he is cut). Supposedly market for Marty is very cool. Evidently teams don't usually show much interest when you have a player who is "holding" out / wanting a new contract. Marty is a top 5 TE in this league, but if you could somehow move him for Jimmy, I'd be all over that (presuming we can restructure / ensure we have some safety valves in terms of Jimmy not being healthy).

News on some potential guard upgrades
Vasquez on the market. Would seem like a solid fit for Bears. Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago The #Broncos are releasing guard Louis Vasquez, source said. Clearly some space, as he was to hit at $6.75M.

Osemele got paid. Kyle Long is going to get some serious money. Rand Getlin @Rand_Getlin 6m6 minutes ago More on the deal OG Osemele and the #Raiders have agreed to in principle: 5-year deal worth a maximum of $60M (!). Absolutely massive.

Bennett for Graham rumor
I'd want Graham to restructure and I'd want to make sure we are confident in Graham's health. I'm on board.

Bears hot after Denver Players
The amount of money he's going to get guaranteed, I kind of hope we stay away from him. I think he benefited a lot by other special players around him than him being special. He reaks of massive overpayment. Don't get me wrong, I think he's solid, but I don't think he's an elite player or a difference maker and he's going to get that type of money. I'd much rather go for Trevathan.

Dwayne Allen off the market
Colts sign TE Dawyne Allen to a 4 year deal. There goes one of few TEs on the market. 4 year deal worth 29.4 million. For those wondering how beneficial Marty's value is, there you have it, cause Marty is a lot better than Allen. Fleener still on the market, but pretty much all of the options are potential downgrades (unless we try and buy low on Jimmy Graham)

Rapoport on NFL Network - top 3 suitors for Malik Jackson are the Jags, Raiders and Bears.

Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL Most of the interest I've heard about has been interior. Sweezy, Allen, Boone, etc. #Bears

Bears rumors
Rand Getlin Active market for LB Shea McClellin. Teams love his versatility. 3-4 teams like him at Mike and OLB. 4-3 teams like him at Mike and SAM.

Murray also receiving new contract.

RG III Officially Released
I agree, plus, I fully expect us to take a QB in this draft (and not a 6th rounder). I think we absolutely take a QB in first 4 rounds and wouldn't be shocked if it was sooner than that. I think Pace and Fox are serious about finding a long-term answer at starting QB (Jay is fine for now, but they know Jay isn't getting any younger and if Fox / Pace are going to succeed, they'll need to find a franchise QB at some point in time...why not start now, while you have the ability to buy time / be patient with Jay as the starter).

News on some potential guard upgrades
Rand Getlin @Rand_Getlin now One player generating a ton of early interest? #Seahawks OG J.R. Sweezy. I'm told at least 10 teams have expressed serious interest. Rand Getlin @Rand_Getlin 1m1 minute ago For OG J.R. Sweezy, teams who've expressed interest: #Bucs, #Falcons, #Lions, #Dolphins, #Saints, #49ers, #Jags, #Bears, #Jets, others. Rand Getlin @Rand_Getlin 2m2 minutes ago To keep in mind on Sweezy: He didn't play offensive line until he got to the @NFL. Was a defensive lineman with a nasty streak in college. Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL 19s19 seconds ago #Bears would be wise to stay away from J.R. Sweezy. Not sure what most teams see in him.

News on some potential guard upgrades
- Jarvis Jenkins wants to come back to Bears
- Bears hot after Denver Players
Obviously not a shocker, but some other reports indicate Jackson is very high on the Bears & Raiders lists as well.- RG III Officially Released
I would probably pass on this point, however, a change of scenery could absolutely do RG III a lot of good, imo.- Mike McCaskey Indicated rebuild will be longer
Whichever is the man in charge at this point. I confuse them too much. Mike is the one in charge, right?- Texans Cut Rahim Moore
I'd rather have some years on the back-end, but not do a large signing bonus. If we give him that extra shot, i'd like to know we have potential upside.- Arian Fostter
If we were going to bring in a veteran back, it should be Forte and no one else. - Jarvis Jenkins wants to come back to Bears
