Let me be the first to welcome THomas Jones and Jonathan Quinn to the Bears.

 

Cool.

WBBM just reported the Bears offered the Freak, and he is on way to chitown right now.

Eh, I'd like to see it, but doesn't he want a huge signing bonus, and is never healthy?

Huge signing bonues, 25 million.

 

THis is the new bears, we spend money.

You better start too.

Good signings

I'm not a big fan of the signing of Jones. I still think A-train can be our stud RB. If we move Thomas to FB and have Jones be our RB, that might work.

What have you seen from A-Train that makes you think he could be a stud RB. He is decent when he gets very good to great blocking. Otherwise he sucks. He isn't great at breaking tackles and he can't make people miss, he has good vision that seems to be all.

I'd look for the Bears to get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for Thomas.

 

More likely a 3rd rounder.

The potential we've seen out of Thomas to absolutely plow guys over has impressed me. But he has definitely lacked something the past 2 years, I'll give you that. I just think he will get back to his potential soon.

 

As i'm reading more about Jones, I'm starting to like the deal. I guess I never really noticed him before.

I think they may target Russel in the 4th. We know damn well that the two of us would be happy if Russel becomes a Bear

I remember the State-Iowa game...Russell impressed me a ton, and I would love to see him come to the Bears.
