  1. He is a very good special teams player. I wonder what the cost was.
  2. Briggs has never had an off the field incident with exception to what probably was a DUI. Again, not something I condone but not even in the same arena as the type of crap most athletes get in trouble with.
  3. To point out, this happened yesterday, so I'm assuming a lot of stuff is still out there. I'm not surprised the Bears didn't know (if that is the case).
  4. This could be terrible, especially because the Bears, even if a deal is nixed (and it turns out to be serious and he gets suspended...not to mention it makes him a giant problem), the Bears would have missed out on all of the top wideouts.
  5. They were at 26M to start. Take off 9.5 + 3M and that is 12.15M. That would bring you down to 14M or so. You also still have to sign your draft picks and other FA's.
  6. I agree he's better than some of our other guys but he has had 2 straight unhealthy seasons and at this point you have to have major concerns over his health. I will point out that Landry has the same issues. I like Conte quite a bit and am okay bringing in another safety to compete. Especially since I think the Bears will give Wright another shot.
  7. Not at all. Depending on if the Bears get a DE in FA (which it looks like they will), I fully expect them to go cb early in the draft.
  8. Not sure it was on the Bear report, but quite a few people reported it, including Jason Cole of Yahoo. I think he was visiting tomorrow.
  9. I don't know. Bears didn't beat around the bush and just jumped in and signed him. I think the difference is only about 1.5M (between him and a cheap backup) and that probably doesn't ruin things, although I could be wrong. And Jason is significantly better than an ordinary backup. Dude could start on a few teams in this league. I also am not sure if the 3M dollar is the exact amount yet or not.
  10. Not so fast...reports out there that Williams will be taking other visits and Suntimes just put up an article saying Bears are still in on Williams. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...bell-signs.html Cripes I just got crazy giddy.
  11. I had heard it was the Panthers pick but I could be wrong. I think the big difference, even though the average cap hit is close (Marshall is 2M less technically) is the fact that the Bears don't have any guaranteed funds so technically they could walk away from Marshall at any point.
  12. I think the Bears leaked stuff intentionally to throw people off there trace. Normally I'd call myself a conspiracy theorist, but Emery wants to keep things hush hush and it seems like he's done exactly that. I wonder what is next.
  13. With Finnegan getting 10M a year, I'd say the odds of the Bears drafting there next CB (1st or 2nd round) appears far more likely. Bears are not going to pay a CB 8-10M per year.
  14. He was a special teams player on the Niners last year.

  16. The knock to some people, is that 5 of his 8 sacks came against the terrible Colts. The massive amount of pressures is a really good sign though.
  17. Tried to verify on twitter, no verification. Williams has not yet agreed to terms with the Bills.
  18. Curious to see the details. Great move for the Bills. They had a lot of money and need to find a way to become relevant.
  19. To close the loop on this. Vjax signs with the Bucaneers. 5yrs 55M. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...incent-jackson/
  20. Wimbley is guaranteed 4.5M this year. The problem with his deal is some terms in it that will force the Raiders to guarantee an additional 17.5M (and impact there cap) if he is on there roster by Friday. The full extension he signed last year was a 5yr 48M deal. Which would put his average over that deal at just under 10M per year.
  21. McCown would cost 1.5M. I guess the question is do you prefer that or now that you invest 2 to 3M in your backup do you go with a cheaper option? It is a 1 year deal per Schefter.
  22. One rumor making rounds is #Buccaneers tried to trade TE Kellen Winslow to #Bears who did not bite. Per Brad Biggs.
