Stinger226 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I have heard a few names that we are pursuing in FAgency: I mentioned Ian Williams in another topic. I heard the name Tashawn Gibson mentioned by Brad Biggs. At the combine they had interviews with QBS: Kevin Hogan Dak Prescott Carson Wentz Jacoby Brissett I would say these QBs tell me we will be picking a QB in mid rounds and he is on that list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid is not getting into the second round, and the Bears DO NOT need to spend a 1st round pick on a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not mean he is a middle rounder, just that we met with him, he wont make it out of the first 15 picks. I also forgot to mention we met with Christian Hackenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also forgot to mention we met with Christian Hackenberg It doesn't hurt for the Bears do give the impression we are interested in a QB. In an ideal Bear's draft, 3 quarterbacks are taken with the first 10 picks. Or the Bears are able to trade down with a team needing a QB. The Rams drafting at 15 are certainly in need of QB help.

He'd been one helluva a get for the Bears. He'd been an elite d-lineman with us for the next 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd been an elite d-lineman with us for the next 5 years. Not that I have seen, mainly because he will demand to much money. I did see us linked to David Burton /FS for Denver talk that he would be interested in the Bears because of John Fox. Also seen Trevathan say the same thing.

dawhizz Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not exactly a rumor, but Kyle Long was just asked on Twitter who he would want to play with if he could play with anyone and he said Alex Boone, who happens to be a FA. We'll see if he gets his wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Bears are said to be interested in Akiem Hicks. Would be a real solid move. 6'5" 35" arms. Would give the Bears the length they need. If Malik Jackson is considered too expensive, Hicks would be #1 on my wishlist followed by Howard and Williams(as far as DTs go). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Any rumors that we are interested in Malik Jackson? He'd been one helluva a get for the Bears. He'd been an elite d-lineman with us for the next 5 years. Check Jackson's splits, 0 sacks at home (Denver) and almost no production in the 4th quarter. Those two are normally tied to conditioning, so I don't know if we want to break the bank on a guy with conditioning issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like him over those 2 because of his length. Williams- 6'1" 32" arms Howard- 6'3" 33" arms Hicks- 6'5" 35 1/8" arms. I would be happy with any of the 3 though.

I read a tweet that says we are interested in him, and he has a tendered offer from Broncos , so if we signed him, we would have to give up a 2nd.
