rangercal Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 QUOTE(shipps @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 10:47 AM) When did I ever say throw 55 million at Walker?How about draft better and be more strategic in a trade with someone?Angelo is supposed to be a professional at making decisions like these and we wind up with not even a valid number 2 reciever let alone a number 1.I dont know,maybe he will draft a good one this year but history suggests otherwise. Booker is a solid 2. The season is 6 months away. I am very with the offseason so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 09:01 AM) Both of you are mistaken. This is a piece to replace Moose Nothing More. Would you rather overpay for Berrian that would put the Bears in Salary Cap Hell for the next 5 seasons? Don't forget , extensions for Tommie Harris and Devin Hester will be coming up. I'd rather not lose those 2 because of stupid spending. AJ, come on bro. Aren't you a little more concerned with filling the #1 than with filling the #2 at this point? Who's going to be our #1? You don't need to throw $55 mill at Javon Walker to make a good move. Don't you think our 1st and 4th would net us a Chad Johnson? You have to get Rex a #1 option finally or he's just being set up to fail again. Patch the o-line in rounds 2 and 3... maybe trade Urlacher. GET CREATIVE DAMMIT!

I have no doubt, that good things are on the way. This is how the bears to-do list should look: 2 OL 1 WR 1 Safety ( insurance for Mike Brown) resign ayanbendejo They have 7 Picks ( 3-4 who should be instant contributors) and about 17 mil- 5 mil for rookies = 11 mil left in cap space (which should be enough for 2-3 starters) Right there you see we have the picks and the cap room to bring in 5-7 key contributors.

No. The Bengals would be taking a monstrous salary cap hit on that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 yestery B&B were talkign the possibility of getting Larry Fitzgerald from Arizona. Reason being, LFs contract is a huge burden on the Cardinals cap and is preventing them from making additional moves to make the team better. Im not saying this is a strong possibility, but it was a nice little daydream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Its a nice start to add a good possession receiver, but they are still about two WRs short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Fitzgerald is a pipe dream. You'd have to re-work his contract, and he's asking for the moon currently. Arizona needs to hang onto him. What was Berrian's contract that he signed with Minnesota FWIW? Just want to get an idea of how much cap space the Bears have left, and whether they could have re-signed Berrian or not. Javon Walker there was really not much chance of happening, especially when Al Davis is offering insane money. I just look at the Bears offense right now, and I struggle to see them scoring a lot of points. The QB spot is iffy at best, the OL needs at least 2 new acquisitions, they need a big time playmaker at WR still, and you don't know if Benson is going to be the guy at RB. And they have an OC in Ron Turner who Bears fans' seem to love to criticize. Not as much as Shoop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Safety is very thin in the draft. May have to go with Archuleta again, as bad as that is. Shouldn't of traded Harris. As for the DL, they'll go Dvoracek back. They were at their best when Tank Williams was there, rotating in and out, but unfortunately he couldn't stay out of trouble. Really, Angelo didn't do a good job in the draft last season. Wasting a 3rd round pick on a 5'7 running back for instance, when he could have chosen a safety, a guard etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOOT and yes I think Harris should have stayed too bad he had to blow his Reggie Wayne assignments in the SB Dusty will be a good add, lets hope he can stay healthy for a season I was pissed with the Wolfe pick .. that could have been Trent Edwards who I wanted them to get throughout the whole draft with atleast our 2nd rounder .. too bad we end up drafting an OLB(from the same school as Edwards) Owko to replace the guy who we would have no chance of resigning, remember that guy? #55 I think? and then the Bills took Edwards right after we took Owko anyways the past is in the past .. woot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 According to the Trib...Brandon Lloyd was signed by the Bears today. He flourished under Turner at Illinois, hopefully he can be a good receiver again. One year contract, terms not disclosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yeah, looks like they gave him a 1 yr deal for a tryout. I wouldn't make too much of this. He did make one of the most amazing catches ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Sorta reminds me of a KW type signing (low risk.. etc..) Still only 26 years old n could blossom late, but yea.. not a jump for joy signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
