THE 2013 CHICAGO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

7 years for $126M. $54M guaranteed.
That's about the going rate for a good starting QB in the NFL these days...I have no issue with the contract. It wouldn't have made sense to let Cutler go with how much the offense improved this year. That offense is just going to continue to get better.0 -
Like the Lamarr Houston signing. The 2 safeties that they signed don't really do much for me. I'm guessing they will address safety in the draft as well.
Had to cut Peppers for the cap relief.....he had a nice 4 years here. Interesting to hear they were talking to Jared Allen although I'd imagine he will want a decent amount of money. Should be interesting to see what else Emery does here...

Allen will most certainly want to get paid.
Word is the Seahawks are after him. If I'm in his shoes and all else being equal, that's where I go.0 -
Houston was a good signing for sure. There is no way the Bears can afford to pay for Allen. Annnnd he's getting old. I'd much rather see them go after some young talent in the draft.
Sad to see Peppers go but it certainly wasn't a shocker. My guess is he has one...maybe two years left if he stays healthy. Going to be interesting to see what kind of money he lands.0 -
The safeties picked up don't do much for me either. My guess it was done to bring in vets to compete with whoever they get in the draft. Having some depth in that position would be nice too.0

Yeah, I'd imagine they will use a high pick on a safety as well as a DT or DE.
I like this Willie Young signing from Detroit as well. Solid player for not a ton of money. Also picked up Domenik Hixon...I'm guessing he'll be replacing Hester as KR. Wouldn't be surprised if they release Bennett or Eric Weems now.0 -
Young was a solid pickup for sure. Depending on the draft, I'm not too sure if he'll actually start. That said, given the injuries we had last year on the dline, a solid backup is huge!! I don't know too much about Hixon. I know the name, just not any stats, etc. Is he a solid returner? I just assumed Weems would take over that role. He really has no other value. It would be sad to see Bennett go, but I'm also looking forward to seeing what that kid can do.Indifference71 said:mca47 said:The safeties picked up don't do much for me either.

Yep, not a bad thing to have some depth on the defensive line...especially after last year's debacle.mca47 said:

Hixon is a decent #3 or 4 WR. I'd be fine with letting Weems go...he's a decent special teams guy, but always seems to get stupid penalties on kickoffs and punts. Bennett's cap hit is somewhere around $2.5M which seems a bit high for someone like him who has been injured a lot the past couple seasons. Can't believe football is 6 months away.0 -
Peanut's back for another year.
Bravo!

Yeah, I was very happy when I read the news. Looks to be around $3.5. I'm fairly certain he could have gotten more than that elsewhere, and longer terms.JTH said:Peanut's back for another year.
Bravo!
Calvin Johnson is probably pissed that he has to see that guy twice again next year! hahahaha0 -
Oops. Posted that in the wrong thread...
But while we're at it, is there any way we can get the subject updated here?Post edited by JTH on0 -
Jared Allen! Bears just signed him to a 4 year deal...its all over Twitter. Love it.0
-
They need to draft a couple of 350lb. slobs, that they can put in the middle of that defensive line, to stop the run.
Jared Allen will have his moments, and he will put pressure on the QB. But the Bears still need to find a way to stop the run.Take me piece by piece.....

Where does this signing leave Shea McClellin?
Hopefully selling cotton candy in the 400 section seats.
What a waste of a draft pick that clown was!Take me piece by piece.....

They're moving him to LB.0 -
Mr. McClellin will be out of the league in a year or 2.Indifference71 said:SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Where does this signing leave Shea McClellin?

Wouldn't be surprised. He was a great LB in college...hopefully they can get something out of him at LB. He was never big or strong enough to play DE. He's a good athlete , but the Bears were using him all wrong.

Looking back.
The Bears made McClellin a 1st round draft pick.
Based on his play the last 2 years, McClellin wasn't worthy of being a 4th round draft pick.Take me piece by piece.....

Yep, it was a definite reach to go with McClellin in the 1st round AND change his position in the NFL. Hopefully they can salvage something out of this pick and he will be a decent LB.
On a different note, I really love this Emery. This guy does not fuck around. Completely rebuilt the O-line before last season. Looks like he is doing the same with the D-line this offseason. And I am sure DT and safety will be addressed with the draft. Too bad the NFL season is still 6 months away!

Yeah, Emery knows his shit. Allen was a damn good signing! Jeffery, Long, Mills. Everyone said those guys were a huge stretch....
Looks like Emery see things a little different.
With Allen signing, it looks like FA signings is over.
On the the draft!!!!0
