Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I was reading on the Bears board that it was Olsen for draft picks. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Olsen for draft picks makes sense. It makes the Bears a player in the draft (and its always good to have picks) plus allows the Bears to potentially be a player for one of the wide-outs that becomes available. If Boldin can be had for a 3rd rounder we might see something get done (if the Bears can get some picks back for Olsen). That is my best guess.

azbearsfan Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sweet. This whole thing is getting exciting. Free agents and trades. Woohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbearsfan Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Do you guys think they would trade Forte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Olsen is rumored to be on the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 ESPN just said there is new on Brandon Marshall. I don't know if that is any way tied to Olsen but interesting nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could move Olsen for a 2nd rounder and then move a 3rd for Boldin I'd be VERY very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 One of the Score reporters has reminded everyone that Clark got the roster bonus that was due today, even after they signed Manu. That suggests Clark will stay. Davis showed enough to make you think he can contribute at a blocker and a receiver. If someone will give you a 2nd for Olsen, do it.

Guest TerraTor Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Bernstein added that the Bears are VERY ACTIVELY looking to trade Olsen as soon as possible. Cant be happy with that sorry, I cant. Unless this involves a bigtime WR I dont even wanna discuss it. Trading a guy that doesnt fit into the offense? Except that we dont have any WRs who fit into any offense.. Thats crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBGKY Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Biggs disagrees. Doesn't believe Olsen will be moved. Here is a tweet he sent on subject. "Would be surprised if anything happens to Greg Olsen. Doubt he is traded. RT @jermaine611 @BradBiggs brad is greg olsen gone?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 A friend mentioned that too, but I don't see it. Forst is cheap. We needed a RB, and signed one. Trade/move Forte, and we need to add another RB again. While Taylor is a great pickup, he will be 31 at the start of the season. He should have more air in the tired due to less than norm wear in previous seasons, but I don't think you look at Taylor as a 250-300 carry RB long term. Keep Forte and you have a solid 1-2 punch and/or depth. Get rid of Forte, and the RB situation becomes fairly iffy again. Do you guys think they would trade Forte?

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 They won't move Forte. He's got a lot of value in-house with his cheap salary. Plus you need 2 good backs in the NFL. They provide depth and major insurance in the case of injury. A friend mentioned that too, but I don't see it. Forst is cheap. We needed a RB, and signed one.
