vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 Three different people at Senior Bowl mentioned Stevie Johnson and the Bears in same sentence. Hes been working on new deal with Bills.

 

vaughn mcclure @vxmcclure23 Johnson is represented by same agent (C.J. LaBoy) as Bears receiver Earl Bennett, who got a sweet four-year, $18 mil contract.

 

Not a bad option, IMO. However, I'd rather sign Bowe or Jackson, or trade for Marshall before I signed Johnson. Supposedly, he wants anywhere from $7-8m, which is a lot for a guy like him. I don't think he's playing with a full deck, and he is very inconsistent. (yes, I know Marshall is psycho and has inconsistent hands as well, but he has proved to be dominant with Cutler)

Ya I'm a little hesitant on Stevie as well. I have also heard he is sorta kinda crazy!

Agreed.

He is not even a top 5 FA WR option, I'll pass.

I'd take him over trading for Marshall, mainly because I think he's pretty good and would be considered a significant upgrade.

Really?

I agree with you. There is no way he isn't a top 5 wideout in this market. If it weren't for the fact he's stuck in Buffalo, he'd be getting more love. Bowe and Jackson are both better and I suppose you could say Desean Jackson is as well, but outside of that, I can't see anyone else on the level of a Johnson.

me too. Marshall is crazy, Johnson is just suspected to be crazy.

Really?

I know some might be franchised and/or re-signed, but here are a few:

 

Welker, Colston, Bowe, V. Jackson, Wallace, Wayne

 

and then the next tier would be guys like:

Lloyd, Simpson, D. Jackson, Meachem

 

I would say Johnson is somewhere in between those two groups, and his antics are on par with Ocho and TO.

Unless he's older than i think he is, I'd put him above several of those.

This could be more leverage than anything from Johnson's side. I wouldn't mind him if he was sort of a last option. I prefer Bowe, Jackson, Colston, and Finley over him.

I had completely forgotten Colston. He's clearly better than Johnson. But Wayne and all others are different.

I have read some reports on NFL.com that have Marshall recruiting Flynn to come to Miami and be their QB. If that is true it tells me 2 things:

1. I wouldn't trade for a guy who is trying to bring players to his team

 

2. He must be happy with what the new coach who is used to coaching a fleet of WRs is telling him so far. When Philbin gives his GM his wish list you have to believe that Marshall is on it.

You wouldn't want to trade for a guy who actively recruits players that could make his team better? Marshall is under contract, is he supposed to throw another fit and demand a trade? If he did how would that make him a better player and teammate for the Bears?

He is not even a top 5 FA WR option, I'll pass.

 

 

not Top5 ??? really

I had completely forgotten Colston. He's clearly better than Johnson. But Wayne and all others are different.

 

 

Colston or Nicks from Saints.. cant franchise 'em both

not Top5 ??? really

Yes, I would take Welker, Colston, Bowe, V. Jackson, and Wallace over him.

Colston or Nicks from Saints.. cant franchise 'em both

Yes, that would be nice, Nicks from Saints, Bowe from KC and we are looking sweet.

They might have to franchise Brees. From what's been said, it sounds like that's the route it might end up going which would be a big plus for us. Although I'm pretty sure Nicks will just re-sign with the Saints once Brees is franchised.

Yes, that would be nice, Nicks from Saints, Bowe from KC and we are looking sweet.

 

That would earn title of best GM of bears history
