I read where the Bears have talked to Walter Thurmond today.

Its odd you dont like someone because of production yet you push for Robert Nkemdiche. He was lacking in the stats department.

I heard on the score that every team that spent big money for free agents in the last 5 years never got better. Havent looked that up yet to see how true that is.

If we can get Hicks and Burton, I would say we did well this year. That would be all starters.

Your probably right about that, but with cap space left they may work it to use some of it to front load a contract for Long.

Long will get his deal done this year, that will probably average 10 million. 10 mil for rookies and yearly transactions. Not as much there as you think. We will get a DL yet, meybe Hicks maybe Cedric Thornton.

Anybody signing on the first day of Agency is getting over paid, that is life in the fast lane. Above average player, probably a 5 mil guy?

The bears are interested in signing a CB, names that have surfaced are P.Robinson,Casey Heyward, and Corty Sensenbaugh

If he comes back here it will be a little above the vet min. He is not one to count on by himself,we still need to add another.

I agree with those names, would love the Graham trade, but probably wont happen. I think a OG will be announced tomorrow also. Probably Vasquez.

That info has been out there for a month, but this reporter is restating he heard that today to reaffirm the rumor. He is a better S that we have on the roster right now. A few years from now Amos with progress past him.

If you do that, that is 7-8 mil we dont buy other FAs with. Of course that would be great but they simply will not do that. I would rather have Jeff Allen and David Burton that would up grade two positions instead the one free agent.

Trading out of the first is not a good idea. I would trade back and then grab Ragland who will probably still be there down around 20. By trading back we should be able to get that teams first , maybe a third and 5th.

Heard a reporter from Denver state that he heard David Burton/S will also be going to the Bears, besides Trevathan

I would say they made an offer, so he will go back to the Bears if their offer is for more money. He was with Foxy in Denver so we have the upper hand anyway you look at it. Falcons have 27 mil in cap space. needs- WR and OLinemen so they may not be able to up money on Trevathan

Yes but grabbing two LBs in the 7-8 range and losing a 2nd rounder, hurts us from adding other FAs to the team. Add one and draft one and spend the money at another position. Also heard that Atlanta jumped into the mix, not a done deal. At least it will drive up the price, so we are not done with this yet.

Its nice to dream but that wont happen. Given up a 11 pick in the second round would be to pricy. We will draft an impact player there that will be cheap for 4 years , so that wont happen.

Bjoern Werner was cut by Colts. Another one of these physical studs that cant play football. This is why I want no part of Robert Nkemdiche. If you dont have production in college , how the hell can you expect him to be productive in the NFL.

All four of those would be starters, so that would be a big offseason and then draft at least 2 or even 3 starters and were back in business for a good record.

Seen where with Miami grabbing M. Williams that Cameron Wake may be on his way out. He was injured last year but his previous years he was a stud sacker.

I think the main reason there are releasing him is the 6.75 price tag. If we could get him for like a 3 year 12 mil , huge upgrade over last year

If we can grab those three names, we could be in good shape going into the draft. If Hicks gets a money deal, who would be our next choice at DL? I talking about a 2nd tier player , not a Howard or Harrison type.

At least if you have two people interested it may raise the price. As of now probably a 6th but if we could get a 5 th or trade for Graham. Graham may not be the same player he was with NO but would rather have him than paying Miller 5 mil a year.

Mathews will come for 1 1/2 mil, where Forte is going to cost someone 4 to 5 mil. to much money for a rebuilding team.
