Looks like Lamar Miller is gonna sign with the Texans

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) cool. As long as we get treviathan, i'm fine with "value" and spreading it around throughout the team. I want one playmaker through FA (see mcphee last year), and then build depth. Unfortunately, wish the playmakers at S/CB were affordable. I think Danny Trevathan, Akiem Hicks, Rodney McLeod, and Casey Heyward would be a great start to the off season.

Schefter was on the radio saying it looks like the Bears will get Trevathan, but not Malik Jackson. Looks like Jaye Howard and Akiem Hicks are the targets on the DL for the Bears.

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 21m21 minutes ago #Bears free agent plan could start in the trenches with a player like DE Akiem Hicks. http://trib.in/1RPpwCm If we can get Hicks and Trevathan day 1, that's a good start to the off season.

Chicago crowd chanting A****** and CM Punk to Vince lol

Huge pop for Shane

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Butler has a swollen knee and stiff back. He will not play tonight. Well, we all know that Thibs would of gotten grilled on this. Now it's time to grill Hoiberg and the FO for letting this happen to Butler. Absolutely ridiculous.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) any background on this Sami guy? Why is he so well known / good? Really good in NXT. Best friends with KO.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) $4 million for assistants is only behind Michigan and OSU for assistants in the Big 10 and not far behind those two. Wow. Would of been 10th in the nation last year. Wow is right. Illinois going big.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) We're already at our lowest point maybe ever, let's swing big. Couldn't agree more.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) This AD is either gonna be immortal or crucified. No in between. A risk Illinois definitely needed to take either way.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) Gipson would be a nice add. I think I heard he led safeties in INT's the past three seasons? Really good 2 years ago. Last year he struggled overall and had injury problems.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) So Whitman said Lovie's available funds for assistants will be competitive with the top of the Big 10 and I've heard $4 million rumored. Such a surreal moment for Illinois football. Such a great hire.

What a great hire for Illinois

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) I saw A.J. Puk struggled again. Any of the high-profile college starting pitchers performing well so far? Jordan Sheffield.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Whitman should hire Tom Thibodeau next. LMAO, I'd go nuts.

Ryan Baker reporting that Lovie Smith's official announcement will be tomorrow

Deal is official. Mike Olt DFA'd

Tomorrow is the day where teams start to talk to players, technically. I forgot how last year went, but we hear about players visiting teams and agreeing to deals as early as tomorrow, correct?

My Bears signings predictions for the 1st day of free agency are Danny Trevathan, Casey Heyward, and Ian Williams.

Much needed. OF defense just got a lot better.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) Not seeing this anywhere....where you see it? I don't see it either.

Wow. Jeremy Werner reporting that a name to watch is Lovie Smith. I'd actually love that move. He's a good football coach, just needs a good OC.
