Looks like he'll be back for training camp. Hopefully he'll have a long, healthy career.

Looks like he should have took the money Emery offered, although I think we'll be just fine w/o him. Great player. HOF Player. Father time just caught up with him.

He'll be cut at some point. It's just a matter of when.

There's also this: Not sure what it means, if anything, but surprising to hear he's not attending.

Detroit cut ties with him months ago, smartly enough. He's a free agent now, but these incidents probably just ended his career.

Did he get arrested a 3rd time already? I remember hearing he got arrested twice within 15 hours or something but I didn't know he got caught again. What a loser.

He was a reach because he projected as the 6th or 7th best OL in the draft that you took in the first round when you had guys like Eiffert, Ogletree, and others that were left on the board as #1 or #2 at their positions. The Bears chose to go for need rather than go with the best guy. I still have my doubts how Long even made it as far as he did, based off 5 career starts at a major college.

Yikes... :/

Oh god no. Arena Football would be the WORST option of them all; even worse than the NFL. Arena football is a league predicated on timing and accuracy. The game is faster, and the shortness of the field, with less ground to cover, necessitates quarterbacks who can fit a ball through small windows and deliver it on time. That is not Tim Tebow.

It will be interesting to see which WR's make the roster this year. We know Jeffery, Bennett, and Marshall will be on there. Weems, Hester, and Anderson are the question marks. Anderson showed last year that he's capable of being a big special teams contributor, so he could have an inside track to making the team. I also really like what he showed as a pass catcher in the preseason as well. I don't think you can have both Weems and Hester taking up a roster spot. At least one of them has to go. That leaves one spot left (If they choose to carry 6 WR's) for a rookie, likely either Harrison or Wilson. The other guy could end up on the taxi squad.

They traded up with somebody (Patriots, I think?) to get Patterson. They had two to begin with by virtue of the Harvin trade.

I see they signed Mark Harrison. This guy is big. 6'3, 230 pounds at WR.

I agree with those. I'd also put Minnesota up there because of the 3 first round picks.

Overall, I thought the Bears draft was decent. Similar the way I viewed last year's. Still not a fan of the 1st round pick.

He draws comparisons to Jonathon Baldwin, who Emery helped scout while he was with KC.

They traded back with Atlanta a couple rounds ago.

Great pick.

3 LB's? EDIT: Nvm. He's listed at 265. I see tweets about him being projected as a 3-4 OLB. His measurables are incredible. I guess he's big enough to play some DE though if need be.

More training camp competition on the offensive line. The Bears have a lot of bodies now, there.

Why? Do I have to like any of them? I'm okay with Bostic, but I saw him more as a WLB than a Mike. Greene is a similar player who also looks to belong as a weakside LB. We'll see where they end up here.

I envy the 49'ers and the way they draft.

I like this stat: Turnover machine.

Both Bostic and Greene project to outside LB's in a 4-3 scheme. Unless Emery wants to force Bostic into playing MLB, this pick is a bit of a head scratcher.
