I have heard a few names that we are pursuing in FAgency: I mentioned Ian Williams in another topic.

I heard the name Tashawn Gibson mentioned by Brad Biggs.

 

At the combine they had interviews with QBS: Kevin Hogan

Dak Prescott

Carson Wentz

Jacoby Brissett

 

I would say these QBs tell me we will be picking a QB in mid rounds and he is on that list

Carson Wentz better be a freaking smokescreen for a trade. That kid is not getting into the second round, and the Bears DO NOT need to spend a 1st round pick on a QB.

I did not mean he is a middle rounder, just that we met with him, he wont make it out of the first 15 picks.

 

I also forgot to mention we met with Christian Hackenberg

It doesn't hurt for the Bears do give the impression we are interested in a QB. In an ideal Bear's draft, 3 quarterbacks are taken with the first 10 picks. Or the Bears are able to trade down with a team needing a QB. The Rams drafting at 15 are certainly in need of QB help.

Any rumors that we are interested in Malik Jackson? He'd been one helluva a get for the Bears. He'd been an elite d-lineman with us for the next 5 years.

Not that I have seen, mainly because he will demand to much money.

 

I did see us linked to David Burton /FS for Denver talk that he would be interested in the Bears because of John Fox.

 

Also seen Trevathan say the same thing.

Not exactly a rumor, but Kyle Long was just asked on Twitter who he would want to play with if he could play with anyone and he said Alex Boone, who happens to be a FA. We'll see if he gets his wish.

Bears are said to be interested in Akiem Hicks.

 

Would be a real solid move. 6'5" 35" arms. Would give the Bears the length they need.

 

If Malik Jackson is considered too expensive, Hicks would be #1 on my wishlist followed by Howard and Williams(as far as DTs go).

That would be an excellent signing.

Check Jackson's splits, 0 sacks at home (Denver) and almost no production in the 4th quarter. Those two are normally tied to conditioning, so I don't know if we want to break the bank on a guy with conditioning issues.

Doesn't FA negotiations start today?

I believe they can start negotiating tomorrow. Not sure if it starts at midnight tonight or not.

I would love Alex Boone. If we can snag one of Kelechi Osemele, Jeff Allen, or Boone, I would be happy.

It has to be tomorrow. I was wondering where all the insider tweets where.

I would rate Howard and Williams both ahead of him, but he would be a good addition too.

I just like him over those 2 because of his length.

 

Williams- 6'1" 32" arms

Howard- 6'3" 33" arms

Hicks- 6'5" 35 1/8" arms.

 

I would be happy with any of the 3 though.

Today is the first day to talk to agents. Cant wait to hear who the Bears are talking to .

Lemon tweeted Bears and Oakland both interested in Denver players.

 

 

With the amount of cap space could the Bears sign Jackson and Trevthan?

Seen a tweet that we are going to talk to J R Sweezy/OG from seahawks

Patrick Robinson CB from the Chargers - Leming says the Bears are showing interest

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.

Would you give up a 2nd round pick for Brandon Marshall/LB ?

 

I read a tweet that says we are interested in him, and he has a tendered offer from Broncos , so if we signed him, we would have to give up a 2nd.
