If we are going to overpay for any position, it seems like O-Line would be the best place to do it. I was just concerned with the length of the contract. Like nfo said, Faneca would have a positive effect on the entire offense. Better pass protection, and a better running game. Also, adding a nasty attitude always helps too.

Cut him. It was worth a shot last year, but he is clearly done as a viable option at Safety.

The funny thing is how many times have you heard "The Pats were one step ahead of us today" in a postgame conference? Now we know why.

At 31, how long of a deal would you give him? I would love to have him (for about the next 3 years), but it seems like he is looking for a monster deal. It would probably be worth it for a couple of years, but I could see a team regretting a long deal.

Chris Harris signs 4 year extension with Panthers. http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10643836 This is one of those moves you wish JA could take back.

All those Super Bowls, ugh.

Go with a Honda Odyssey or Hyundai Entourage. Honda has better resale, but will cost more with the same features. Hyundai has the better warranty.

As long as he has lost a step, any throw should be right in the bread basket.

Booker was behind Booker?

Hester attracts the casual fans and helps sell merchandise to others outside of the Chicago area. I'm in Texas and the only 2 Bears jerseys I see down here are Urlacher and Hester.

Darwin Walker for $6.5? At least it doesn't say the Bears plan to bring them back.

He said Booker "never had a problem dropping the ball", which means he drops the ball easily. Now if he never had a problem catching the ball, that would be a different story. Now that would make sense. The only issue would be the cap hit. Would Booker salary+Moose Cap hit be more than Moose's 2008 salary?

For a player though, all it takes is one hit and his career can be over. If Hester is offered a deal and passes on it, he is risking a lot more than he would be gaining by waiting for more money. There are more bad things that can happen than good. What if he flops as a WR and his return skills decline because teams scheme against him better? His value would drop. If he gets injured, his value will drop. So for him, it seems like now would be the best time to cash in. Also, if he does a 4 or 5 year deal and becomes an elite receiver, at least he will have a little peace of mind. Deal or No Deal.

The only way I would not pick an O-Lineman with #14 would be if someone like Phillips was still on the board. Now here is a question, which QB would you take at #14 if they were still there? Brohm? Ryan? Woodson? Henne?

For some reason this doesn't sound right.

Kruetz, Tait, and Garza should be the only 3 starters returning. Pick one up via FA, and draft at least 2 others. It might even be time to draft a Center.

Philly might as well dump McNabb now, because they will not get as much for him next year. I just don't see the Bears having enough to deal with though. Also, can the Bears afford to give up high draft picks with so many holes to fill?

Do it. A couple of years younger than Moose. Would he have hard feelings about the trade though? I bet Atlanta picks him up.

My only worry with Hester is if he starts playing WR more, will that degrade his return abilities? Right now he is fresh on runbacks, but if he starts taking more hits, will he be less effective on returns?

Which makes those stats even better.

Some pretty good assessments. I posted a little from each player, but there is more at the link. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/features/...=29927&pg=2

I wouldn't mind him, but some team will more than likely give him crazy money.

Hester has too much value with his current contract. He is worth more than a 2nd and 3rd. It is not like Hester is a one year wonder and is going to disappear like Desmond Howard. Hester might be the most dynamic player in the league. You don't trade that type of talent for a QB who had one good year. Also, Anderson would be an upgrade at QB, but with a bad O-Line and questions at RB, he would not really make up the difference lost with losing Hester.

Linebackers and Safeties with neck injuries are never good. It is odd that this is something that was just found this year, making it a new injury.
