Bears restructured Mack's contract to free up more space. Seems like they are going after Bell or Thomas. 

certainly is interesting how much restructuring has happened this offseason.  Usually means they are clearing space to make one or two splashes in FA.  Given how shallow our puddle is it won't likely be a huge splash even with the restructures. 

We are finally a desirable landing spot...  I'm really curious how this will play out!

I think they get HaHa Clinton Dixs/ SS, Cordell Patterson/WR and Marcus Golden/OLB. None big contracts but will need the money to get all 3.

You called it, Patterson is a Bear. He will be lethal in this offense and we get a plus returner. 

Patterson is a great pick up.  He was a good returner for NE but i don't think they used him to his full potential as a WR.  Should be fun to watch and he is a big tough football player.

I agree,  he's a #1KR, #4 RB, and 5th WR that fills 3 spots. I thinks that is a huge signing. 

Haven’t heard Or seen anything about Bryce. After a flurry of signings and trades he’s still unsigned. Wonder if his market isn’t as big as he thought it’d be.  Wonder if there’s a chance we still resign him?  Not sure where we are cap wise.though. Can’t be much left. 

I think the next signing is a edge rusher,  then if Callahan asking price drops,  he may be back.

Justin Houston's still out there, as is Ziggy Ansah, Shane Ray, Mathews

A little surprised we haven't shown interest in Gostkowski with our need at Kicker

Would absolutley love to see Houston join the team.  He’d be a great situational/rotational player.  I think he has enough in the tank that he could significantly contribute.  And I can’t imagine he’d be too awfully expensive. And I just read this; played college ball at Georgia.  Could talk Bulldog ball with Floyd and Smith.  

Gostowski would certainly be a great option.  Something tells me he’d be pricey though. Bears are probably starting to run low on extra scratch.  

We signed a little known WR Marvin Hall,  he will be grooved to replace Gabriel,  he has 4.28 speed. 

Gostowski could be a bit pricy, but if we could fit him in it would be worth it. Fixing our kicker situation is arguably our biggest need. I don’t exactly have high hopes for jones or blewit 

It seems to me the Packers paid a lot of money to several average players in FA, and I include Amos in that assessment as well.  

That's what happens when you try to catch up to the division leaders.

I assume we want to bring in a veteran FA to support OLB.  If I'm correct it's telling that the Bears have been quiet about re-signing Aaron Lynch.  He played decently last year but clearly Pace is scanning the OLB FA market before making his decision.

There's those annual cap cuts we get to look forward to.

There just waiting for Houston to take the one year 7 mil offer.

If that happens I'd be very happy.
