Cecil Lammey ‏@CecilLammey 3m3 minutes ago The TE market heating up, expect some surprises once new league year begins. Virgil Green choosing between #Broncos & #Bears #NFLFreeAgency

Josina Anderson ‏@JosinaAnderson 1m1 minute ago Source: I'm told Da'Norris Searcy's camp is "still in active talks with the Chiefs and the Bears along with the Titans at this hour."

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 15s15 seconds ago According to @JosinaAnderson #Bears are 1 of 3 teams in "active talks" with Safety Da'Norris Searcy. Might not be done yet.

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 1m1 minute ago DT Dan Williams also on #Bears radar. Oakland & NYG Giants also in on him. Expected to be cheaper than Knighton.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 1m 1 minute ago The expected numbers for Da'Norris Searcy, who appears headed to the #Titans: 4 years, $24M with $10.5M guaranteed. Still finalizing. Not awful money for one of the top safeties on the market.

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL · 1m1 minute ago Being told #Bears could add two safeties. So far, team hot on Ron Parker & Antrel Rolle.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 5m5 minutes ago The #Chiefs are expected to release WR Dwayne Bowe tomorrow, source said. Not sure if Bears would have any interest their. Obviously doesn't fit the slot speed guy but might be a guy you take a chance on to see if the change in scenery helps.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck 1m1 minute ago Terrance Knighton in holding pattern. Interest in defensive tackle is there. He's not expected to return to #Broncos.

@BradBiggs: One source said #Bears & #Falcons are most involved for #Chiefs S Ron Parker at this point. Not sure how close it is but FA opens in 3 hours Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 2m2 minutes ago 11 players go into it but one attraction to #Chiefs S Ron Parker? Kansas City was No. 2 in pass defense in 2014.

I think the problem is that he isn't healthy enough to be even close to the player he once was.

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 12m12 minutes ago From what I'm told, Pernell McPhee will be playing at both OLB, 5-tech and 7-tech in 4-3 looks. Seen as perfect fit for Fangio #Bears Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 4m4 minutes ago There's many positions of need but last I had heard, they seemed to have identified both ILB and S as the next plan of attack. #Bears

@PaulKuharskyNFL With apologies to those certain of something else, the #Titans are not trading for Jay Cutler.

ESPN 1000 ‏@ESPN1000 29m29 minutes ago According to @ESPNChiBears on @WaddleandSilvy, Jay Cutler was in the building last week working with Adam Gase and the new playbook.

I like Browner.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 1m1 minute ago Saints officially released LB Curtis Lofton today. Presume Bears will touch base with him.

Troy Renck ‏@TroyRenck Terrance Knighton is not close to a deal with #Raiders...seen that out there. They are still in play along w #Redskins, #Bears, #Colts

Titans reportedly becoming more aggressive. I think we'll get something real from them. Not sure if we will move up to #2 but I expect at least a 2nd and a 3rd, if not a 3rd and a future 2nd.

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 8m8 minutes ago I'm getting mixed returns on these Cutler trade rumors but I will say that @dan_bernstein has legit sources & it's very likely true. #Bears Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 4m4 minutes ago I will say, there was a rumor swirling last week about Cutler to the #Titans for basically the swap of 2nd & 3rd round picks. #Bears Dan Bernstein ‏@dan_bernstein 10m10 minutes ago Source: #Bears actively shopping Cutler, would move him for "reasonable return." Offers to this point have underwhelmed.

Thats right. I had forgotten that.

I agree it will likely be ugly without Jay and I think QB is a crapshoot but I have a lot of faith in this regime and am okay with them wiping the slate clean and trying to build this thing and get it sent in the right direction. I also think Kap would be a pretty good fit if we are looking into turning ourselves into a power running team with a strong defense.

Update: Deal not done yet.

Evidently they already have some offers but are working hard to maximize and get more in return. I've said it before and I'll say again, he'll be gone and we'll get more than we expected for him. There is zero QB market out there and it is a weaker QB draft (that said, Its all a freaking crapshoot anyway when it comes to QB's, imo).

He also wasn't much of a fit in the 3-4.

John Mullin ‏@CSNMoonMullin 22m22 minutes ago #Bears in play with #Buccaneers ILB Mason Foster - not a covg fit with Cover-2 base but solid inside where #Bears want to funnel runs
