DE would not surprise me at all. For one, you can never have too many. Add to that, Peppers cap hit is going to be around 16mil next year and may be a casualty.

I'll take McCown or Rexy. I'd also like to see a running QB as a 3rd option. When in doubt, run like hell!!!

It all depends on what player I am. If I feel I'm good, yet unrecognized, I want to be the man somewhere. If I'm in the twilight of my carreer, I want to win, so I go to a winer. If I'm greedy, I go to the Browns for top dollar. If I'm pretty and personable, I go to a big media market for more endorsements. If Ray Lewis gets me any of that I'll take it. If not, I'll go where I can. I see no place Urlacher helps anyone fit better.

Your proposal has been rejected! We will decide what is best for this team...

Obtuse? Careful bro, that'll get you a month or two in solitary...

We need two starting guards or one guard and one center. That's it for needs. After that, we could use fresh bodies at WR, LB, DT and CB. All said, after OG, we should expect a heavy defensive draft.

The 49ers have 14 picks in this draft. I wonder what the trade index would say if we traded our 1 and 2 for their 1st, 2nd pick in rd2 and a 3rd? C'mon chart-meisters give me a stat!

Your 5 or 6 option needs to be a young developing player. People in the work place thrive better with something to aspire to. If the cream rises to the top, so be it. Ocho is far past that.

I'm convinced you will say anything to win an argument...

Thank you.

LOL! Thinking the same. Seriously, maybe Trestman put it out there to make teams gameplan a little differently against us. It's been said, that it affects prep time for other areas. So it could be a smokescreen we see in preseason and never see utilized in the regular. Or just a plan for the backup QB.

I DVR it and have seen every single episode. If a seller wants 1000, he offers 500 and settles for 750. Just like you said negotiations work.

I remember. I agreed with you Moss, but strongly disagreed on T.O. DJ Williams is cheap with all upside on this deal. I'm good with it. He should be an upgrade.

Rick always starts low and works to the middle, as you have stated is the way to do it. It's been said the Bears offered higher prior to free agency and 54 decided, out of pride, to test the market. He came back with no leverage and his value leveled out to 2 mil. It'sa small pittance for an already rich man. But again, pride is going to cause him to let it go before he is ready. It's on him. The deal was fair commensurate with to his value. To the other posters out there, who say players won't play here or the current ones won't play hard is complete and utter bullshit. I've said all I can say on this topic. I'll miss him, but am glad he didn't get what he wanted, because it is not deserved.

What's the last good player you saw on the Bears to give a hometown discount? 2 million would have been that for Url, but he was insulted. He'll find he's not worth it anywhere. This argument is tremendously flawed IMO.

Why cut him? He'd instantly be the best G on the team. Also, why would you cut him before the draft?

This! 1,000,000% I know this is overly dramatic, but it needs to happen. I don't like Carimi at G. He's a little too long for that position. We need an upgrade at both G positions, but I can live with getting one good one in the draft. Garza is average on his best day and on the wrong side of 30 with no talent in the pipeline. Once and for all, the OL needs fixed.

Some of you girls kill me...

A little HGH and he'll be set...

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-f...tly-for-vikings Looks like Urlacher is too expensive for another team. Those Vikings are just insulting...

That's not how negotiations go at all. If the brass thinks he's worth 3 million, they are not going to pay 4 because he's asking 5. They are going to pay 3, or this case 2. They offered him a deal better than 2 before he tested the water with notice that he would be paid what the market would bring once he came back. That is 2 mil. Fact is: 54 had a higher value placed on himself than the market for him. Again, same with Olin. We'll have this debate again with Briggs in a year or two.

Count me in the skeptical crowd. I'm really looking forward to see if he changed his physicality this year after an off season working out with Marshall. I don't think he'll ever be a fast twitch guy, but he can use power as an allie. He can be judged after this year as his stats should go to about 60 rec/800 yards/7 TD's.

Again, we all mostly wanted Urlacher back. I personally think he's one of my favorite Bears ever. But, the main aspect of this whole deal is this... We wanted him back. He was given time to test the market and nobody wanted him. Again, he was offered a contract that most people would give a testicle for. Again, he turned it down. That's his choice. Nobody can sit here and preach that the brass is a bunch souless bloodsuckers because they didn't pay him what his inflated ego thought he should be paid. Same thing happened with Kruetz, as he took less to play elsewhere and proved to be done. Since Urlacher has a home and ties here, he should accept his fate, man up and play. This organization has made him handsomely rich and famous already. It's time for him to be a team player, suck it up and pay it back by finishing his career here. The only thing that could possibly refute this opinion is if he signs for more elsewhere. And it better be enough to cover the expenses of relocation and loss of endorsements in the Chicago area.

They wanted him back, but at a price that reflected his performance. He was awful last year and theres nothing the show he'll be better. Sometimes vets need to be shown the door. He was and got no offers. Now hes crying cause he feels dissed. I would never feel anything but joy if someone wanted me for that price. Ask any talented rookie that would probably bring more to the table.

Doubt it.
