Hue Jackson was supposed to interview with the Bears today for the OC job. Before interviewing, he accepted the RAIDERS OC position. Ya, the same Oakland organization run by fire-happy Al Davis. That tells me a lot anout the perception of our organization.

Pretty sad huh? This guy wont even talk to the Bears, but he accepts the OC job with Oakland and Oakland's organization is a joke. The Bears fucked up big time by bringing Lovie back. No one wants to come here because it is obvious Lovie is in a win or get fired situation.
I can't believe these cheap bastards actually opened up their wallets and spent some money!!! Pretty exciting day and a great start to free agency for DA BEARS!!
great pickups on paper but i hope they spent it wisely...peppers and taylor are both 30 and that's high for the NFL. I just hope they don't become like the 'Skins over paying old players and getting nothing out of them.
I like the signings, though that kind of money on a 6 year deal for Peppers?...
He's one of the best D-linemen in the game, but he's not exactly "young" anymore. If he stays healthy, he's really got probably 3 more high level years left (if he follows suit for linemen in the NFL). Overall, I was surprised and pretty happy about the deal.
Taylor is a solid back and should do a good job either backing up Forte or subbing in.
Not sure why they went after another TE. Are they getting rid of Clark?
Either way, seeing the Bears involved in some big moves is always good to see!
Now, let's try to work out some stuff to get an O-lineman or two in...
the Peppers deal is really a 3 year deal...he gets big money, then it drops off
the TE is a blocking te...we need all the help we can get on the oline. i suspect Clarke is just about done.
i can't believe we couldn't Bolden. friggen 3rd and 4th round pick was all it took for Baltimore to land him, and our picks in those rounds should have been better. we should have got him. fuck the draft, i'll take a proven player. oh wait, we got juleo inglasious last year in the 3rd round...well, i'll be damned :roll:

I'm sure Peppers wont be here for much more than 3 or 4 years. First 3 years pays him a good portion of the contract. He is a beast when he wants to be....let's hope he doesnt start dogging it now that he got paid.
I really like the Taylor move. He is 30, but doesnt have as many miles on his body as most RB's at that age. Plus, he's great at catching balls out of the backfield which is a big part of Martz's offense. And he makes the VIkings worse!
The TE is a straight up blocker. He has played in Martz's system before. It sure seems like Martz had a big say in these FA pickups.
Now its time for O-line and safety help! Still hoping they will realize that Tillman would be perfect for safety.
Any word on whether they're gonna let Wale go in FA now that they've brought in Peppers? While Peppers was a beast in Carolina I've seen too many FA players come in and bust in Chicago.
yes, i think the goal here is getting picks. the cutler trade left the bears handcuffed. maybe a washington redskins would give us a 3rd rounder for him

I predict next season will either be really good, or really bad.
It's always nice to have players from my college on the roster.

not quite. technically, it was a 7 year deal, but in reality, it's more of a 3 year deal.
I doubt they'll be able to get much for a DE in his early 30s who averages 6-7 sacks a year. Maybe a late round draft pick?
