July 28, 201114 yr comment_91341 Damn I just heard that on the SCORE. What did we get? Steve Smith??? Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91344 Unless that player is Jordan Gross, Jeff Otah, Jon Beason, or Steve Smith.... terrible deal. Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91350 Unless that player is Jordan Gross, Jeff Otah, Jon Beason, or Steve Smith.... terrible deal. It depends. The Bears are banking on Martz being their OC for many years to come, apparently, and a pass catching TE isn't valuable in his offense. If they only plan on keeping Martz around for another year or 2, then yes, this is a brutal trade. Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91353 F&*K!!!!!! MOTHERF*&K!!!! F&*KIN' F*&K F^%K!!!! We are giving too much power to Martz. I am saddened by this... I will miss Lady Thor... Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91356 Do not have more details, they get a player and draft pick from Carolina, that is all I know for now, just announced on NFL Network. Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91359 It will be interesting to see who we get back. I cant say i'll be sad to see a TE who cant outmuscle a cb for jump ball leave. His play was too soft for my taste. Report

I liked Olsen but until I know what we got I am not going to judge. Olsen does not fit Martz's scheme so I completely understand the trade. Peace Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91366 Anyone else have the feeling that there isn't much of a dropoff if any to Kellen Davis anyway? Report

July 28, 201114 yr comment_91372 Anyone else have the feeling that there isn't much of a dropoff if any to Kellen Davis anyway? This. What did Olsen have, 500 yards receiving last year? Got to believe Davis could approximate that. I don't have a problem with this (depending on the compensation). Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91374 Anyone else have the feeling that there isn't much of a dropoff if any to Kellen Davis anyway? I agree, I like Kellen Davis a lot and I think he can replace Olsen in the starting lineup just fine. I do not think we will really miss Olsen that much. Wasn't it in Carolina where he fumbled 2 or 3 times in one game? If it was it is odd they would trade for him. What game was that he had butter fingers? Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91377 I liked Olsen but until I know what we got I am not going to judge. Olsen does not fit Martz's scheme so I completely understand the trade. Peace Before the deal was made I was sitting there thinking, "Olsen for Steve Smith . . . " if the players name hasn't been mentioned, he probably ain't good. On one hand I agree, on the other, how much do you trust Martz? Hell, I defended Turner well past the bitter end. I was thrilled with the Martz signing. Having Cutler pass 50+ times the last game of the season against the Packers was unacceptable to the point I fear Martz is incompetent. Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91378 Huh? Isn't he only signed through this upcoming season? Martz isn't locked into anything remotely long term from my recollection. It depends. The Bears are banking on Martz being their OC for many years to come, apparently, and a pass catching TE isn't valuable in his offense. If they only plan on keeping Martz around for another year or 2, then yes, this is a brutal trade. Report

July 28, 201114 yr comment_91380 I imagine. Get rid of his favortie target, do nothing to protect him and don't get him a legit WR. Jay has to be thrilled. At least right now, I don't blame anyone for being irritated. We can put a positive spin and hope that he busts in CAR, that martz will be around longer than a season and won't make Jay pass 50 times in a game, that we do something else and picks up a great OL and/or WR. But, I personally am worried. This team has a tendency to rest on its laurels after some success. Look at right after the SB loss. I bet Jay is pissed. Report
July 28, 201114 yr comment_91384 This mystery player business is bugging me. I'm sure it's nobody that I would want or a player that's really expected to do anything. I can imagine the pick will be the more valuable asset we get in this trade. Report

I can imagine the pick will be the more valuable asset we get in this trade. Can I guess that maybe we are looking at Duke Robinson and a 6th? Report
