LittleHurt05 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) Willing to give up the 19th pick for him? If Angelo was still around, maybe. Now, not so much. While the Marshall talk is fun to speculate about, I really don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Can we have a Bears thread in addition to an NFL thread? It's tough for people who aren't Bears fans to weed through 75% of posts related to them, especially once the season gets closer to beginning There is an entire Bears forum, which does get pretty good traffic. However, the majority of the Sox fan base are Bears fans so it kind of comes with the territory. I actually think posters here do a pretty good job of being open to discussing other teams when people bring them up but if nobody is interested in a team then nobody will care to spend too much time discussing it no matter which thread its on.

While the Marshall talk is fun to speculate about, I really don't see it happening. With the WR's who are on the FA market, there is zero reason right now to talk about Marshall. He's not getting released, and the Bears have other options that don't require them to give up a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Clearly Arizona is on that list also. Tennessee I'd guess will be there too. Highly doubt Tenn is going to go after him with Locker around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd actually make a ton of sense. It's not like Peyton is going to play for another decade anyway. Let Locker learn behind one of the greatest for a couple years.

Eh that's all fine and dandy on paper but Locker was already showing flashes of being ready to step in right now at the end of the season. I highly doubt they're going to make him wait 2-3 more years while putting a ton more money into another quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 He should go to Houston to really stick it to Indy. Hed probably be able to win a SB in Houston with their current roster and its not like you can count on Schaubb to stay healthy. Houston with a QB of that caliber would be really scary.

Until the franchise tags happen, yes very much so. Franchise tags could knock out maybe 1/2 of them, but there are guys like Vincent Jackson who supposedly won't be franchised, teams like New Orleans who have 3 guys they would like to franchise, and then others who might not as well.

They had contract discussions throughout the season and Bowe has stated that he would prefer to remain there. Doesn't mean it would happen, and I kind of want him gone anyways, but at this point I think there's a pretty decent chance he stays with the Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consistent winners in the NFL draft the best player available and not based on need. We have holes everywhere, some more glaring than others, but just gimme the best player who slips to our pick.
