I doubt all of that happens but you never know.

I'd be fine with Wimbley or a solid DE plus a CB. The Marshall move puts the Bears in a real nice place, including the fact that they no longer have to go one way vs. another in the draft. Curious to see what happens.

His average cap number is about 9.4M. That will be at least 2M under what Vjax will come in at. Latest reports I've seen, indicate Bears now have approximately 15M to 17M in cap space remaining (including Forte). Note: I'm not sure what the overall impact is cause there could be certain components about his contract which would potentially adjust/impact what his cap hit to the Bears is.

Reports out there that Mario will be visiting the Bills tonight. That will be the first team he meets with.

Hell ya. 2 3rd rounders. I can get behind this. Now sign Williams.

Smart move. They need help at CB but with Bowman and him FA's, you need to at least bring one of them back. I expect them to potentially look at a veteran signing and possibly even a draft pick.

It was reported by Mully/Hanley as a rumor.

And other reports in chicago have reported completely different amounts recently. PFT has its info just as other people have there's. I have seen the detail supporting the other numbers and believe the PFT numbers are incorrect and I think the signings the Bears make will support such.

I don't think Briggs will be cut. Worse case the Bears deal him for a 3rd round pick. I still think Briggs will be a Bear another few years and that Peppers, Urlacher, and if it happens, Williams, can find a way to make Briggs happy.

They still need to execute on those moves and than obviously execute in the draft and on the field! I'm trying to keep my expectations low so I don't get crushed. Even if the Bears miss out on both of these guys, there is a lot of good signings that can be made to improve this team.

I'm going to listen to the reports that include the rollover cap room and the recent cuts. It has widely been reported that we have 26M in cap room (after taking into account Forte's franchise hit). Not factoring Forte, it is around 34M.

I believe Lovie lives in Texas during the offseason.

I don't disagree, but you still have a 1st round draft pick. There have been a lot of reports saying Wayne isn't necessarily a package deal with Manning though. He might go but he very well might not.

Per Jay Glazer. No amounts yet.

5 year deal.

On a sidenote, the cap number being thrown around by most of the media guys: Vjax - 11 to 13M Mario - 14 to 15M. Wanted to put that out there. Bears currently are about $26M under the cap (this is factoring in the Forte's franchise hit).

Who is to say that rumor is even true. I think the Bears are going to add a pass rusher but I fully expect them to add a wideout as well. If it is a lesser wideout (anyone not named Colston/Vjax), I than expect them to draft one in the 1st or 2nd round.

Brad Biggs tweets that there is a lot of smoke out there, but Bears are supposedly hot after Vjax.

I still think if the Bears hit on Williams and miss on Jackson there are other opportunities. Such as a Garcon/Reggie Wayne/Royal/etc.

I'm going Williams. I'd rather pay the extra few million for a guy that I believe is an elite end. Just my 2 cents. Plus, I think it makes our defense that much better and should help us when it comes to going against the Lions/Packers pass attacks.

Ya. I didn't realize they had 30M in cap room. It is too bad that they gave Fitz all that money. They would have been a great fit for Manning to be honest.

The Bills will make a run at Vjax supposedly.

Mully & Hanley indicated Lovie & Peppers were talking with Vjax in Texas. No idea why Vjax is in Texas. I assume that would be where Williams is.

John Clayton reporting that Atl and Sea are now Williams favorites.

I haven't heard that but damn, that would be pretty cool. I wonder if other players on the Bears would be willing to tweak their deals for something like this to happen?
