DGBears Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Free agent TE Martellus Bennett will visit the Bears. Bennett tweeted he was "proud" to be joining the Bears, before clarifying it's just his preferred destination. Regardless, the smoke is billowing, and seems primed to turn to fire. The Bears are in dire need of a tight end who can actually catch passes. Related: GiantsSource: Mike C. Wright on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo880 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hell yeah. Now, Emery, just go grab yourself an olineman and maybe a linebacker and i'll be content heading into the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm thrilled. I'd rather have him than Cook or Keller based on what I've seen of him. Awesome pickup Emery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Bennett is more of a prototypical 3 down TE who fits the West Coast system perfectly. Cook would have been nice too, but he's not the blocker Bennett is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Interesting that I kept noting Bennett wanted to play with his brother in Tampa but now he's referring to Marshall as his other brother lol. So stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Good choice, mid-priced FA but versatility fits the need very well. Combined with Rodriguez we should have a good tandem in pass catching TEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Any idea what the $ are? This is a good move. Good all around tight end and a major upgrade over Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Good choice, mid-priced FA but versatility fits the need very well. Combined with Rodriguez we should have a good tandem in pass catching TEs. He is a better choice that Cook, because he can block. People that can block(on this team) are invaluable.

'TD' Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/...nts-tight-ends/ He was the top free agent on PFF. Emery must really like that site. Not sure how I feel about the signing until I see what he got paid and what they do on the line. I love it as long as they fix the line. EDIT: I meant top TE FA not top free agent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesson44 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ok now we got TE lets go rape the Jets for Moore (OG) and get Long at OT http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...tellus-bennett/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm interested in seeing how much money they Bears gave him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 He is a better choice that Cook, because he can block. People that can block(on this team) are invaluable. Absolutely. The SCORE was talking about how he was drafted in the 2nd round as a talented pass catching TE, but be he had to become a blocker in the Dallas system. I love the signing . . . that being said, I was one who was convinced that Kellen Davis was going to be the answer at TE for the Bears. He had learned to be a blocker at TE behind Olsen, and now we just had to let him flourish as a receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
