Can anybody remind me what happened to Cliff Stein? I don't believe he's in charge of contracts anymore. He was always the best. Edit: Nvm I found this article that explains it: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago-bears/post...general-counsel That's a load of shit. Dumb move by Pace to bring in a friend over a man who's widely regarded as the best contract negotiater in the business.

He's coming off a torn ACL and MCL. I'll pass.

If it's a health related thing, then that makes more sense. The Bears have to be careful, though. There is a big leadership void now with Slauson, Forte, and Rolle all gone. Getting rid of too many of those guys could be counter-productive. Other guys are going to have to step up.

Why didn't they wait until after camp? I get the Rolle cut, but Slauson was their best offensive lineman last year. This must just be an age thing. We had a ton of depth before this release.

Welp, I guess I was right about him not making the team. Just a little late on when it would actually happen Signing Donte Whitner now makes no sense. If you needed somebody to mentor the rookies, then why in the world would you release Antrell Rolle?

Don't be surprised if Antrell Rolle doesn't make the final cut. I never really understood that signing in the first place.

Do the Bears even have a backup LT?

Best backup we've had since Griese.

Pretty solid draft from my view of things. I still didn't like trading down so much in the 2nd when Derrick Henry and some other guys were all there. Overall, Pace really seemed to get some great value on all of these picks. Lukewarm on the Floyd pick, although with Elliott, Buckner, and Stanley all off the board, I'm not sure there was really any guy I REALLY liked. We'll see how things shape up this pre-season. I'm excited.

Julian Edelman.. I hope.

Wasn't Oakman arrested for domestic abuse? No way the Bears take any chances with a guy like that, especially after the Ray McDonald fiasco.

Here's your special teams ace. Supposedly blocked 9 kicks.

Possibly an earth (Howard), wind (Langford), and fire (Carey) RB trio next year? Sounds good to me. I remember the year the Giants went with a trio like that when they had Jacobs, Bradshaw, and Derrick Ward.

We really need to sign Brian Hoyer. No QB worth drafting now, IMO. At some point, though, the Bears need to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on a quarterback for the future. Cutler doesn't have many years left before his game starts to dip.

I like the Hall pick. Kid has huge arms.

Did they really have to trade up to get this guy?

So either Slauson is done as a Bear or he's moving to center.

Pace is getting absolutely murdered. Missing out on Henry, Spriggs, Hackenberg and now Clark. Dumb trades. Lets trade down again to get out of the 2nd to pick up a useless 5th rounder this time.

Wtf are the Bears doing? They are essentially trading out of the 2nd round for what amounts to a couple of 4th round picks.

Lol @ Dallas. What a waste of a pick.

I don't see how they could pass up on Hunter Henry if he's there. I mean, can anybody here name the Bears #2 TE on the roster right now? When Zach Miller inevitably gets hurt again, the Bears will have no reliable TE to replace him. If this Hunter kid is suppose to be far and away the best TE in the draft, the Bears really need to seriously consider him with their second pick.

Hunter Henry Derrick Henry Le'Raven Clark Vonn Bell

Ahh freak the Cardinals!

It would be awesome if Nkemdiche was still there for the Bears in round 2. They need to keep adding athletes. I also like the RB from Alabama: Would bring another dimension to the run game. More physical.

Floyd does remind you a bit of Aldon Smith because of the height, but Smith had an NFL body coming into the league. I know Floyd has put on some weight, which is good, but can he continue to bulk up and maintain it without hindering that speed?
