Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Good stat from Zach Zaidman. Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman 30s D.J. Williams started at weakside (39), inside (31), strongside (29) and middle (16) linebacker positions for the Broncos during his career Emery said this about him. Phil Emery on Williams: "We see a player that has very good athletic upside who can contribute immediately at ‘Mike’ (middle) linebacker." Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman 3m Emery on Williams: "He is also a versatile player who has played both outside linebacker positions, giving us flexibility in the draft.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I can't believe the overwhelming support for this guy considering how opposed most have been in the past to signing anyone who was not a Boy Scout (e.g. Moss, TO, Burfict). And before anyone says anything, I'm talking way back when they were available the first time. I don't mind the signing; it makes sense. But I've always been consistent about getting players with upside and some character issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Williams is cheap with all upside on this deal. I'm good with it. He should be an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The risk & return potential is quite good. We have paid virtually nothing for the guy...so really, how can anyone be anything but positive about it? This particular move needs to be judged seperately of how anyone feels about how Url was handled. With that said, and as you've said, it's good. Overwhelming support makes sense.

I feel like I'm about to derail this thread but while we're talking WRs with character issues...Ochocinco is working out with Marshall at Fit Speed...At a cheap price are we interested??

scs787 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Worked for San Fran taking on Moss didnt it? At a near vet minimum and as a #3/4 receiver he could be a good acquisition. Figured id get blasted for it lol ohhh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Did it? He wasn't brought in to do much, just to provide a threat. An inspired Chad Johnson can still be a threat. From all Bennett has tweeted about fit speed that place is no joke, if he keeps putting in the work there I could see him still being a viable #4 WR who comes in from time to time. At a vet minimum I'd take a shot at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that as the teams #4 receiving option, our #4 was Hester who had 232 yards. Chad would basically be our #5/6 option behind Marshall/Jeffery/M. Bennett/Forte/E. Bennett? with the potential to be more. It would all be based on what Marshall has to say about how he's looking in training, if Marshall suggests we take a chance, then we take a chance. Give him no guaranteed $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 A Marshall/Jeffery/Bennett/Johnson/Rookie WR corp is better than a Marshall/Jeffery/Bennett/Rookie/Weems corp. With no guaranteed money given to Chad there's literally no risk involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlithuanian Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Why don't we bring in Willie Gault? He's still really fast... This will not happen and is truly a waste of time pining for.

scs787 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 In no way am I "pining" for it. It was just a suggestion while we were talking about the likes of TO and Moss. If Marshall had some input about Chad looking good while they're training together I'm merely saying I wouldn't mind taking a waiver on him at the vet minimum. Like I've said in the past though I don't think a WR is that big a need, but at the league minimum I'd still take a chance on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Seems like a low risk move. If he plays up to his potential, it will actually be an upgrade over Roach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him no guaranteed $ Your 5 or 6 option needs to be a young developing player. People in the work place thrive better with something to aspire to. If the cream rises to the top, so be it.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 When healthy and eligible to play, DJ Williams is a really good linebacker. Versatile too in that he could be outside or inside. I still think the Bears go guard and linebacker (in no particular order) in the first two rounds of the draft. Nick Barnett would be a solid signing as well.

We've mentioned his health concerns, but up until last year, he's been pretty damn healthy. Particularly when you consider it's Williams vs. Urlacher, #54 has a bad back, bad knee . . . As for the draft, I could see the Bears going guard/linebacker . . . or not. I could see another OT, a WR, D-line . . . I think we have options.

madlithuanian Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'd rather use that money of the league minimum to donate to charity... He's not needed here at this point. We aren't loaded with loot. Every little bit counts at the moment. This would be frivilous. And would probably take away from Marshall...thus making it more possible of having him disgruntled. Simply not worth it on so many levels... In no way am I "pining" for it. It was just a suggestion while we were talking about the likes of TO and Moss.

You have to put that in to perspective when team building in our fantasy world. Sure, lets sign all the old greats....can the be a gunner??
