Packers fans are saying he's worse than Chris Conte... fml. We still need TWO starters.

Too old for me unless he signs for a modest 1-2 year deal.

Funny how that thought creeped into my head immedietly after hearing the news of Byrd to the Saints. What better defensive player could the Bears sign this off-season if Revis is indeed released? Maybe Jared Allen, which seems to be where they're going, but I would rather have Revis. He will be a full year removed from ACL surgery, and if he gets back to his former self, you're talking about one side of the field that you no longer have to worry about anymore.

Makes sense I guess now that they lose out on a good safety and Julius Peppers was released.

Disappointing that the Bears weren't able to get him. It didn't even sound like they were all that interested which really bugs the hell out of me. He's the best FA in this class, and plays a position that you desperately NEED filled. It's not like they didn't have the money to wager. I don't get it. If Chris Conte is starting next year, I will do some terrible things.

It sounds like he's going to have major interest in the trade market, so the bears might not even be able to sign him anyways.

Sproles is a perfect fit in this offense. I would have no problem if the Bears signed him, but I don't expect it. They're going to spend whatever money is left on plugging the holes on defense.

I like the Houston signing, but man are these free agents "meh...." There's like no game changing player in this class besides Byrd.

Unfortunately, he was still good enough to not warrant a release. The reason he was released has more to do with the price tag than his actual production, even though his production has dipped slightly over the years. This was a lose-lose situation for the Bears unless they are able to use that money to sign somebody better than Julius which Lamar Houston is NOT. Has Byrd signed anywhere yet? This free agent class suckkkkkkks....

Damn, is the Thomas kid from Oregon really going to be a 6th round pick? Shows how much I've paid attention to all this draft talk lately.. Too early for me to get into the NFL

I'll be glad when Briggs is no longer a Bear. I think he's gone after next year anyways.

I will miss him if he leaves. Our season last year could have been a disaster without him, just like it was a few years ago with Caleb Hanie. There's no sense in paying him gobs of money to remain as our backup though. Good for him if he can go elsewhere for more money. I hope the Bears have a plan then for who their next backup is going to be. The Bears don't exactly have an ironman back there at starting QB.

Sproles or McCluster would be absolute PERFECT fits in this offense. The only thing we are lacking is pure explosive speed. I think a shifty RB like Sproles or McCluster would be just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much money they are willing to spend on the offensive side of the ball this year. My guess is they won't spend anything on it.

Urlacher is an idiot. Simple as that.

Brad Biggs is full of shit half the time he speaks as well.. Dan Pompei is the worst. I'm just going to wait and see what happens this year. I'd love for the Bears to sign both safeties this off-season and shore up the back end of the D in free agency. Then we can focus on the D-Line/CB positions in the draft.

If Emery's pattern keeps up, he'll draft somebody we won't talk about from now until the actual draft. I'd start looking at guys who are projected 2nd rounders.

That line about Chris Conte is more than a little cringe worthy. I'm not sure there's many people out there that could have played any worse at the safety position last year.

Denver made a living putting up gaudy numbers against bad defenses this year. If Tommie Harris and Mike Brown were healthy in the Bear's Superbowl, Manning would be 0 for 3.

This is shaping up to be the worst Superbowl ever. Manning looks awful, that entire offense is out of sorts, out of rhythm. Seattle's defense is as dominating as I've seen since the 2000 Ravens.

Mosely is a beast. I wouldn't mind him at all. I'm still hoping for his teammate, Dix.

Hard to imagine him being back at his current price tag. Maybe if they restructured and he forfeited money, but I don't see that happening. If they elect to retain him, the Bears basically can't sign anybody of real value in free agency.. It would be a terrible move.

Richard Shermon is just an odd person. He tends to give very awkward interviews when he's upset, i.e Skip Bayless/First Take debacle last year.. He's a hell of a player, but I don't like him. I was rooting for the Broncos anyways, but now I hope Peyton shreds them for like 7 touchdowns and 500 yards while Demaryius Thomas catches 2 TD's against Sherman himself. That would make me a very happy camper.

Monte Kiffin and Mel Tucker both should have been fired for being bad at their jobs. Lets not use the former as justification for the Bears keeping Mel Tucker. Especially when its the train-wreck disaster that is the Dallas Cowboys.

This x 10000000 Flat out joke. They'll regret it if Mel Tucker falls flat on his face again with this defense like I expect him to.

This guy has extensive 34 experience with his defenses. This makes the hire very interesting.. Does this mean we will be going to the 3-4 or some sort of hybrid scheme? I certainly hope so! This guy coached both Demarcus Ware and Cameron Wake. Here's to hoping!
