Stinger226

At his age I will say his contract is 5 year-56 mil with 18 guaranteed and counts 7 the first year.

There is never a last time with you, just like last year when you quit the forum. You popped up two weeks later. When you quit with the misspelling statements I will stop. I have stamina.

If its big money, just not a sound decision. He simply not worth that kind of money just because he is the best this year. Im all for him being here and its not my money, but this will strap us for other good players. We are all speculating so were 36 hours away from all of this. The Bears are usually tight lipped so this surprises me if it leaked out. As soon as Marty said he wanted his brother to play here, this was a no brainer, it was just about the money.

Sometimes reality hits us and we leave dreamland. I would love him too, but IMO he will cost to much.

First of all, Im the only one you cat call on misspelling words, and other people actually misspell words on here. I never mentioned hate, I said (dislike) and that is a fact your can lie about, but we are all adults on here,so I dont really care whether you like me or not, it just doesnt matter.

Thanks for stopping being a putz and lets get back to football talk. Just so you know , all the fingers on my right hand are numb all the time, it sometimes makes it hard to hit the right keys, 90% of my misspelled words are key screwups and I dont always have the time like you to go back and proof read my posts. I am actually starting to like your football opinions but personally you suck.

He aint getting 84 mil, but he will be way more than 42 and we wont be getting him.

IF spelling is such of an announce for you, go to one of the english lit forums. This is a football forum and your the only one that it annoys. I dont know if you noticed many other people make spelling mistakes, but I seem to be the only one that annoys you. Like I said, I dont like you and you dont like me so quite being a putz and slam me for stupid football opinions and let it go.

Bennett is the best available but he is not worth star money.

If I remember Palmer looked better that Josh in the pre season, think he will be ok.

McCown will be paid similar money and he will have to move on, as all we will give him is 2 years-2 to 2 and half a year. A good guy, likable and not a bad QB, but money is almost always the deciding factor, period.

I like those signing Collins will be a good rotational player and Palmer takes McCowns place.

Let me just add, I hope we have a once in 10 year draft and we get 3 starters right away and 6 that contribute on the team, but usually things take time. My hopes the first round gets us a impact D player that becomes a pro bowler regularly 2nd and 3rd contribute the first year and become starters From the 4th on,3 or 4 make the roster and become competent backups..

Im just jacking with because of the stat thing. Normally he is a 4 year 15 mil type of contract but this year will be nuts.

That would be awesome but think your dreaming. Our first pick needs to be an impact starter, the next two need to see playing time, but dont see 3 players making an impact in the first year. Last year they hit on Long but although Mills started he wasnt very good most of the time. Bostic ending up starting but wasnt very good. Greene sucked. Unfortunately most rookies take time. Bostic will make improvements this year, Greene has a long way to go. Mills needs to improve and Long is a star. I think out of necessity, the S we draft will play and get better as the year goes on.

He is 11th ranked on your PFF list so he is close to his valve.

The Viking screwed the scale up,giving a good backup star money is ludicrous. The money Bennett and Johnson will have coming now aint in our budget. Plan B is not a good option but it is all we have. I start spelling things right when you stop with the annoying LOL when you throw out a slam to people.

I would be happy if just one of those emerged as one of our starters.

It looks like Phil's plan will be to go after Bennett,Johnson, the one big deal( I think there is a limit what he plans on spending.) Add depth at S with Mitchell(starter) and Mundy (depth or start if necessary) Add depth at DT with Ratcliff, contacting Mitchell/DT/Hou, more middle level signings. Add depth at DE with Scott, Lane and an attempt at a DE plum I think he will try to set draft up so we can take the BPA at almost any position by filling the team with FAs at his price.

Your spot on.

It didnt need fixin, I meant that if we get our potential starters at S at a reasonably price does that leave us a couple more mil to address bringing Tillman back. Our defensive backfield will be set for year, other than a couple later picks to add the youth. I hope your right on the Bennett signing, my negativity is only about how much we spend, not the player himself.

On many sites he is listed as the #1 DT out there. He got 8.5 mil on a tag, and wouldnt sign a contract.

Does anybody think if we upgrade the S position right away with good deals that that means we have more money left to bring back Tillman?

Your right, Mundy to high, Mitchell a little low. Phil has a plan, so far I think we go after Bennett, the one big contract. I think we have a fair deal to offer him but if one gets crazy it wont be here. It seems he has Mitchell projected as a starter, Mundy more of a 2nd tier action in case we cant find another starter, wiii be adequate.He will have one name we dont expect and will pop on us out of the box.

Players are starting to fall so what does that tell us? Henne/QB--2 year-8 mil Cassal/QB-2 year-10 mil Probably means we say good bye to McCown--a better QB than the two mentioned and we wont be paying that kind of money for a backup QB Shields/CB-4year-39 mil Ross/CB-1 year-570 k Greenwood/CB-1 year-570 k Grimes/CB-4 year-32 mil Hall/CB-4 year-17 mil Hayden-1 year-840k Probably means Peanut will be closer to Hall (30) money I would say a 2 year 6.5 mil(dont see the Bears paying that) Pollard/S-2 year-6.3 Allen/S- 1 year-955k Stuckey/S-4 year-? Were looking at Mundy and Mitchell I would say contracts if we sign them will be around 3 year-8 to 10 mil range Peters/DT-1 year-1.5 mil Pitoutua/DT-3 year-9.6 Baker/DT-3 year-9 mil Ratcliff/DT-2 year- 4 mil Melton is the key but by what contracts are given so far would say he is looking for a 1 year deal for 6 mil or 3 year 22 mil. Ear Mitchel has been contacted by Bears 6-3 308-26 years old probably a 3 year 7.5 contract Hardy/DE-1 year-13.1 mil Bryant/DE-4 year-17 mil Dawson/DE-1 year-855k Cunningham/DE-1 year-755k Lee/DE-1 year-vet min Scott/DE-1 year-vet min We are going after Bennett that is going to cost around 4 year 39 mil which is still in question if we go that high(hoping we do) I think we get Wootten back around 4 year 11 mil Other names we are suggested we are interested in Ayers,Johnson.,Griffin,Young
