Bears in pursuit of Jaguar DE
The knock to some people, is that 5 of his 8 sacks came against the terrible Colts. The massive amount of pressures is a really good sign though.

Finnegan to STL
Very good signing.

Update: Williams leaving Buffalo without contract
Tried to verify on twitter, no verification. Williams has not yet agreed to terms with the Bills.

Update: Williams leaving Buffalo without contract
Curious to see the details. Great move for the Bills. They had a lot of money and need to find a way to become relevant.

V-Jack to Tampa
To close the loop on this. Vjax signs with the Bucaneers. 5yrs 55M. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...incent-jackson/

Wimbley is guaranteed 4.5M this year. The problem with his deal is some terms in it that will force the Raiders to guarantee an additional 17.5M (and impact there cap) if he is on there roster by Friday. The full extension he signed last year was a 5yr 48M deal. Which would put his average over that deal at just under 10M per year.

Bucs tried dealing Winslow to Bears
Agreed. I have zero interest.
-
Campbell signed
McCown would cost 1.5M. I guess the question is do you prefer that or now that you invest 2 to 3M in your backup do you go with a cheaper option? It is a 1 year deal per Schefter.

Bucs tried dealing Winslow to Bears
One rumor making rounds is #Buccaneers tried to trade TE Kellen Winslow to #Bears who did not bite. Per Brad Biggs.

Campbell signed
Schefter reporting it.

Campbell signed
Quality move. I expect McCown to be cut and Enderle to remain the backup.

Supposedly Abraham wants 12M per year. If that is true, than Freeney probably wants similar. Not saying it will happen though. But when guys like Whimbley are talking about 6-7M how the heck do those guys get 12M per year. Maybe Whimbley is about to get paid a lot more than I think.

Wyche
I don't think he will get anywhere near that, but if he did, he isn't signing with the Bears. Mincey had 8 sacks and is 28 and the talk is he'd sign for anywhere from 4-6M per year. I realize Freeney is the better player, but he's older and has had injury issues, so I'm not sure he would get more.

Kellen Davis visiting other teams
League source says TE Kellen Davis will visit the Cowboys, Steelers, and Bengals.

Bears in pursuit of Jaguar DE
First year as starter. Lot of scouts have said some good things about him.
-
Bears favorite for Mario
Not surprised. I fully expected such.
-
Brandon Marshall is a Bear
Mercilus is dependent on what the Bears do in free agency. If they sign a nice DE, they probably don't go that route. Martin would be quite nice.
-
Wyche
He played well. McNeil is solid too. The thing that really worries me is both of those guys have major health red flags.
-
Campbell signed
Some reports indicate that. However, Sean Jensen (Sun Times) and others have indicated we started with 26M (including Forte). So this would bring the total cap space down to 19M. This does not include money set aside for draft picks and the resigning of other players.
-
Brandon Marshall is a Bear
Bummer. He would have been a nice signing and I figured he'd have been interested (in the right price). That of course assumes the Bears had interest.
-
Wyche
Nothing available in FA. If there was, the Bears would offer them the moon.
-
landry to visit
Have the Bears cut Meriweather yet? Or was he just a 1yr deal? I don't remember.
-
landry to visit
He's a good player. Makes a lot of sense at the right price. Definitely not a guaranteed starter though.
-
Wyche
One thing to remember is Winston is a RT. Carimi is supposedly an RT. Not sure how much sense it makes unless the Bears think one can play LT.
-
Wyche
Don't be shocked if the Bears eventually add Freeney (if they go the right of a Winston or Nicks/Grubbs). I say that because the latest reports seem to indicate he'll eventually get released and I think he'd like playing for lovie and the Bears defensive players. Plus he wants to win and would probably be willing to take a bit less (and a short term deal) late in his career.
