ASHKUM BEAR Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 The Bears Core is looking pretty good, as long a players develop JA will keep this team in good shape. Players in RED are ones that JA will have to decide on extending Players in GREEN are players if they step up big, can get rewarded early. The way I see it coming, the Bears will be working on extending Mike Brown if he stays healthy and Brandon McGowan if he produces. Grossman will get franchised only if he produces just to see if he can do it again. If Kevin Jones produces, he'll command a high salary and I just can't see the Bears giving it to him. If Brandon Lloyd produces, this may likely get done b/c I think Lloyd will be looking for long term security so he may not demand as much. Next years draft class, look for the Bears to invest in QB, G, S, WR, DT, DE, Offense ******* "year" is how many years left on contract************** QB Rex Grossman 1 year Kyle Orton 2 years RB Matt Forte 4 years Kevin Jones 1 year Garrett Wolfe 3 years Adrian Peterson 2 years WR Devin Hester 7 years Mark Bradley 2 years Marcus Monk 4 years Brandon Lloyd 1 year Rashied Davis 3 years Earl Bennett 4 years Marty Booker 2 years TE Greg Olsen 4 years Des Clark 3 years Kellen Davis 4 years O-line Olin Kreutz C 3 years Roberto Garza G 4 years Josh Beekman G 3 years John Tait T 3 years John St Clair T 2 years Chris Williams T 5 years Terrence Metcalf G 3 years Kirk Barton T 4 years Chester Adams T 4 years Defense DT Tommie Harris 5 years Dusty Dvorecek 2 years Antony Adams 3 years Marcus Harrison 4 years Matt Toeaina 2 years Israel Idonije 3 years DE Adewale Ogunleye 3 years Alex Brown 4 years Mark Anderson 2 Years Dan Bazuin 3 years Ervin Baldwin 4 years LB Brian Urlacher 5 years Lance Briggs 6 years Hunter Hillenmeyer 3 years Jamar Williams 2 years Michael Okwo 3 years Nick Roach 2 years Darrell McClover 1 year Rod Wilson 2 years Joey LaRocque 4 years CB Charles Tillman 6 years Nathan Vasher 4 years Trumaine McBride 3 years Zachary Bowman 4 years Corey Graham 3 years Daniel Manning 2 years Ricky Manning Jr 3 years S Mike Brown 1 year Brandon McGowan 1 year Kevin Payne 3 years Craig Stetz 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for the info. It's really impressive when you actually look at it. We should have tremendous amount of flexibility next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I have to believe every team in the league would love to be in the contractual position we are in. I hope we never lose Cliff Stien because he works great with JA to get all of these deals done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GakMan23 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I sure hope we don't draft another DT or DE. He has drafted both positions almost every year he has been here and if he still needs to add to either of those positions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think with all the key positions on defense that we have in place, signed, and with good depth, that we will start seeing more and more offensive skill players and OLmen drafted in the future. This is obviously where we need to concentrate the next few drafts. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Great breakdown! Thanks for laying that all out... We really do look pretty solid...we just need some more oomph on O.
