It's actually around 50 million from what I've read on Bears.com. Check out this from over there http://boards.chicagobears.com/forums/thread/2984048.aspx

I would throw a parade if the Bears made that bold of a move to grab Justin Blackmon. I'd have to see what the trade is before I go all in on it though. If it's 2 firsts, I'd really think hard about it. Blackmon is clearly the best receiver in this draft and has the potential to have an AJ Green like impact on a team that drafts him right away in year 1. Finley has a bad case of the drops. He'd obviously be an upgrade and I'd endorse such a much providing we still sign and or draft a receiver to go along with him. I don't want him being the only move we make to upgrade offensively from the skill positions.

I don't like the fact that we have to jump out of our seats to root for a Packers loss because we couldn't do it ourselves. That doesn't feel right. I respect the Packers organization and their team but It was nice to see them be a one and done team. In fact, the only team to never make the conference championship game after going 15-1. With that said, the Bears have A LOT of work to do just to get near the level of GB and it starts with this years draft and free agency.

I wouldn't mind Scheffler. He's a good pass catching TE that can catch the occasional deep ball. Is he a free agent?

Oh no question. I'd take TO over anyone on this current team. But luckily we will have the opportunity to draft and or sign some useful receivers through free agency where we won't have to rely on the 39 year old.

He's going to be 39 years old next season and father time is undefeated. No thanks.

I would have last year earlier in the season, but not now. There is a plethora of receivers out there that are alot younger than a one year rental which would be T.O.

I enjoy listening to Hub when he bashes Bears management and the way he uses his words to describe it, haha. It makes me feel better. But he does come off as a know it all.

You have to be able to put it all together though. Speed will only get you so far. It's the reason Hester can be so successful as an NFL punt/kick returner and not as a WR. He simply doesn't have the skills outside of his elite speed to be able to do much of anything offensively, and when he does, it's sporadic. Knox is very similar. But when you are fitting together a team and you have two players that are 6'3 and above, Ideally you'd like atleast one guy to have the speed to get behind the defense and be able to get YAC. If you don't, then you wont have an explosive offense and teams will be able to creep that extra safety inside more often instead of keeping a guy out there to make sure you don't beat them deep.

Enderle sucked in the preseason. Didn't really come off with the greatest first impression. He looked really really bad in his first preseason, like he didn't even belong in the league; sorta Todd Collins-esque with his short arm, girly like delivery. Looked like another Dan Lefevor like pick, although Lefevor played better in preseason than Enderle did with us.

I ask myself the same question everytime I hear the name Darryl Drake. He'll be gone whenever the new GM fires Lovie after this year anyways so I guess that's the good news.

So he's saying that they are going to actually run a normal NFL offense?

I like Marc Ross alot. I hope he gets the job. Although we don't know how involved some of these guys are in the actual picking of the players. DeCosta is the only guy I know of that has actually had that real power.

I hope they sell the team. That will be a great day for all Bears fans.

Yeah, they are doing background checks on all the candidates before actually beginning the interview process. They always do everything backwards.. skjensen Sean Jensen This was a few days ago. I guess that's where I heard it from, on the Bears board. Probably not newsworthy now since the Colts have since signed their GM and the Bears still have yet to interview anybody.

I think there is. I can't remember the guys name but I thought I read somewhere that the Bears wanted to talk to a Saints player personal director about the GM Job. I could be wrong though.

Marshall was picked up for 2 2nd round picks. We could might be able to get him with a 2nd and 3rd.

I like Dwight Jones alot. I also like Mohamed Sanu. Two very big physical receivers that can get down field and be #1 options in the redzone.

Oh. Yeah, well if they want to go that route they'll hire Jerry's bff Timmy Ruskell. He's pretty good at that too.

I would honestly rather have Jerry Angelo than Tim Ruskell. I'd take virtually anyone with GM experience or not over that guy. The only reason they are even considering the guy is so they can all save their phony bologna jobs and save money. That and maybe because nobody that's actually qualified for the job doesn't want it because they really won't have any power.

Huh?

He's going to be there because he's really not a 2nd round pick. He's not worth that round in the draft. He's more of a 4th rounder IMO.

Not a fan of Nick Toon. Screams bust right away to me and he's definitely going to be there in the 2nd round. CB isn't really that important of a need to spend a first round pick on. Rather it go towards a WR or OL.

Nobody in free agency that's worth a crap outside of Curtis Lofton from ATL but I believe he plays ILB. I haven't been following the LB position in the draft at all. Whats the breakdown for OLB? It would be great to get a guy that could bring a pass rush. Haven't had that since Colvin left and Urlacher was a young'n.

Get it done future GM! I'll take a WR that'll get you 1200 yards from a no name quarterback any day of the week.
