Im pretty sure hes gonna want more than a four year deal. That said I wouldnt mind giving him 5 or 6 if they worked it where we could cut him after the third/fourth year if needed and not a huge cap hit. 31 isnt old for an offensive lineman and he more than likely has 5 or more very good years in him and probably about three stellar years. Seeing what moves like this do to teams like Minny and Cleveland, i say if we can get him, we have to go for it.
Amen to that. Good post

I agree. I'd do a 4 year, $24 million contract, and then add a $10 million signing bonus or somethin'.

He is still under contract with Oakland until the end of this month. Until then, they can negotiate and sign him to a contract while no other team can. Once March 1st comes, he can sign with anyone.
If we cut Moose, we do not have to pay him but his signing bonus counts against our cap.
Peace
Alright, I see now. So really, we can negotiate right now with BB?

Go with a Santa Fe

Am I missing something here? What's the rule on this FA stuff? Players can sign with their 2007-2008 teams before other teams can get a shot at them?
Also, answer this one for me b/c I missed it in a previous thread- if we cut Moose, do we still have to pay him by buying him out, or what?

who is going to underthrow him?
Joe Flacco

Fixed.

LOL, jagbag. Ok.
While you are trying to think of ways to make the team a contender, try and think within the rules, and try to understand you cannot sign and trade players as if this was the NBA.
I know you can't sign and trade, but there isn't a rule against trying to sign a guy, then a few days/weeks later, trading him.
-
One other thing, Hester will continue to put asses in seast and help sell merchandise. He might just become the next face of the Bears. I do see some of the logic in trading Hester but you are assuming that we will never have an offense capable of making anyone pay for giving us that great field position. While that might be right, we have to try and believe our offensive woes will end. I know, there is no tooth fairy is there?
Yeah b/c without Hester, we wouldn't sell out every game or sell jerseys, hats, or shirts.
-
If we pick up Flacco with our first pick I'll throw up. If starting LT talent is there in the first round (it should be) you go get one of them.
I have a funny feeling that if you want Flacco with our 2nd round pick and a T with our first pick, then we won't get him. The only way we get Flacco is if we reach for him in round 1. I don't see a way he gets by Atlanta in round 2 (unless they take a QB with their first pick), KC in round 2, Oakland in round 2, Baltimore in round 2 (unless they take a QB with their first pick), or Carolina in the 2nd round

Disagree with bringing in Booker. At least at this point. I just don't see how he fits in with this team. Booker does not have the speed that Turner craves, which is why Terry Shea wanted to dump him to begin with. Booker is a good possession type receiver with great route-running ability. He doesn't have much size or speed, and he'll be 32 by the time the season starts.
Reading the above posts, I get the impression that it's "dump Moose & bring back Booker." Is Booker any better? Seriously I doubt it. Don't speak lightly of dumping Moose. Yes he's been a dissappointment overall, but he's a team captain, a team leader, and he's a pro. His cap value is 3 million this year (thanks LT!) which ain't bad. He'll be back.
Looking at the receivers next year, I genuinely believe we'll bring back Rashied Davis to be our 5th receiver. He's great on special teams & he's a solid WR. He's restricted and I can't imagine him getting many offers.
Mark Bradley is back for one more season. Hopefully he can turn it around.
Hester is expected to see his WR role expanded this season.
Moose will be back IMO.
That leaves room for one more. Hopefully Berrian returns, but if he doesn't, I'd bank we'll either draft or sign a burner that can stretch the field. Either way, I don't see Booker fitting in with this group.
If we did bring Booker back I expect we'd be dissappointed the same way we've been with Moose.
I hate when people say that, b/c obviously it doesn't matter. You got a burner in Berrian and an absolute speedster in Hester and Turner threw a total of like 12 bombs this year, so he can blow that "I want speed WR's" statement out of his @$$.
-
Here's my gut feeling- if we lose Berrian, we need to make a blockbuster trade for a WR. Otherwise, it'll be a 4-6 win season next year. But hey, at least if that happens we can get Jeremy Maclin with our high pick, who will be a sophmore WR for Missouri next year, or Michael Crabtree, an absolute stud, who will also be a sophmore, WR from Texas Tech. Of course, those guys have to declare first.

How many times have you traded the Bears 2nd and 3rd Round picks (and either Anderson or Brown) since the season ended? Just wondering
Sorry I'm trying to think of ways to make this team a contender, jagbag.
Fine. Since I haven't traded away our 6th and 7th, let me take back the 2nd/3rd trade idea for McNabb and say that we'll trade our 6th and 7th for McNabb. Yes, b/c that will definitley land him in Chicago.
-
What's the rule on the cutting thing? If we cut Moose, do we still have to pay the remaining of his gazillion dollar contract?
I like the Booker idea. I'd like a:
Berrian
Booker
Hester
(draftee)
Bradley
WR corps.
-
Just reported on SC the Vikings, Bears, and Falcons (I think ATL was the 3rd team) all want McNabb. However, a journalist from Philly says they will keep him 1 more year. To make the Eagles change their mind, what would you give up for him? I'd sign and trade Rex and trade our 2nd and one of our 3rds.

5 returns for 165 yards
-
28-27 NFC
Hester- 4 returns, 151 yards
-
Halftime: 27-21 AFC
Hester- 3 returns, 111 yards.
-
27-14 AFC with 3:28 to go
Hester has 2 returns, 91 yards.

Joe Flacco and Colt Brennan, if we get either one of them I'd be extremely happy
Not so much Brennan, but after watching the college skills stuff today, I want Flacco so bad. He threw 2 balls in the longest throw competition, and the first was 71 yards, and the 2nd was 72 yards. He also came in 2nd, I believe, in the accuracy competition. I think we should reach for him in round 1 if we know he won't be there in round 2.

Woah woah woah, Benson is awesome, he just had a shitty offensive line, ask Bearsox
Bearsox and I don't think he's awesome, but we certainly don't think he is terrible/bad. We think that with an OL, he can be effective (see 2006)
