madlithuanian Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 For the right price...and if we have some depth, why not? Our window to make a strong move is now...

GrizzlyBear Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Much rather have him teaching our other hard hitter Wright how to play. With Sanders and Harris in his ear it should have nothing but a positive effect on wright. then we could dump Manning, could make for a real good deal.

flea Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Pass been there done that with a safety who can't stay on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The problem is...you really have to assume he won't be there for the full season if you sign him. You can't let Manning walk, or you need to draft another safety, for example. You assume anything you get after training camp is a bonus.

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Bob Sanders has literally left body parts on the field. I'd rather go after Otogwe honestly. Sanders wouldn't probably make it out of training camp with the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Finally Jason, you have reached utmost potential of retardedness... the guy is worthless I don't know about that. Even if he's available for 8 games next year, he'd be the best Safety on the Bears' roster for those 8 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearsFan1974 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't know about that. Even if he's available for 8 games next year, he'd be the best Safety on the Bears' roster for those 8 games. 8 games isn't worth it. We paid Mike Brown to stay on IR even though he was good for 4-5 games wasn't worth the contract. Unless there's a clause in his contract of a paid by game played it wouldn't be worth it.

bradjock Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 We're going to need a 3rd CB. Chris Harris was pretty good overall this year but he's terrible in pass coverage. Majori Wright has potential, but he's young, unproven, and can't stay on the field. We're going to have to have a 3rd decent whether it's Sanders, Otogwe, or D Manning. I can't see us drafting a safety high or spending big money on one. I have no idea what Sanders is worth at this point, but it appears that Otogwe is going to get paid.

BearsFan1974 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Seriously, even for a "close to the minimum" contract? C'mon. You know as well as I that he's going to get more than a close to minimum contract. He will get over paid by the Raiders or Redskins and perform averagely and steal a check based on his name and previous accomplishments.

He will get over paid by the Raiders or Redskins and perform averagely and steal a check based on his name and previous accomplishments. I'd be flat-out stunned if any team guaranteed him a lot of money. When Mike Brown went to K.C., they signed him for a $900k base salary (in the old CBA, that money became guaranteed when he made the opening day roster).

Do you mean the Bears are going to need a 3rd CB or 3rd safety? Because you said CB but then listed the team's safeties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If he signs for close to the minimum, and even if he's only available for 8 games, I still think he's worth it. That's 8 games of clutch plays, bone-jarring hits, and potential game-changing decisions that could be the difference between missing and making the playoffs.

I find it hilarious u guys are talking about getting 8 games out of him when he's only played in 9 games over the past 3 yrs combined. IMO I would be ok with close 2 league minimum with big $$ tied up in incentives based on stats and playing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO I would be ok with close 2 league minimum with big $$ tied up in incentives based on stats and playing time That's my exact point. I'm not talking about breaking the bank. I'm talking about getting a guy, taking a flyer on him, hoping that he's beyond the injuries and close to his former dominance, and inserting a bunch of incentives into the contract. Win-win for the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-win for the Bears. Usually I'd agree with you on this, but Sanders' durability problems are so bad that I wonder if he's even worth the roster spot. Odds are he'll be on IR by Week 3, and then they'll be trying to fill his spot with a practice squad guy instead of using it on a free agent or draft pick in the first place.

AZ54 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 The last safety we brought in after some serious injuries ended up working for NFL Network...Adam Archuletta. I watched Arch all through college and loved his game, he was fearless going after the ball. He was the same in St Louis but after his back injury he was never the same. Sanders had that same fearlessness and it's what made him great but he also paid the price for it. You have to wonder if he's even close to having the same mentality as a player. This is one of those things that a physical and a workout can not discover and there's no recent film on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
