February 21, 200521 yr The are Titans expected to release veterans Samari Rolle, Derrick Mason, Kevin Carter, and Fred Miller due to the cap. I would love to have Derrick Mason on the Bears. He has only missed six games in his whole career and has had four career 1000+ yard seasons.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 02:45 AM) What would you guys think about picking up Rolle. That's what I was thinking... He's in his late-20's IIRC, so he definitely should still have 'it'. He'd be a great addition to our defensive backfield, provided he comes at the right price.
February 21, 200521 yr rolle is good but with the money the Bears have invested inthe secondary, I dunno. IF you could send R-Dub a one way ticket and keep Zoom as a nickel back, it's not a bad idea. It just might be a bit superflous
February 21, 200521 yr I would keep R-Dub around if he will take a pay cut for punt returns only. Rolle is only 28. Also, Fred Miller might be worth a look at T. Cant be any worse than the doormats we already have.
February 21, 200521 yr yeah if we can get rid of R-dub i would love Rolle other wise its 2 much money in the backfield.
February 21, 200521 yr I can't really see the Bears going after Rolle considering they already some good CB's already, and this draft is very CB heavy. As a Cowboys fan though, I'm hoping we can pick up Rolle, Ken Lucas or Anthony Henry, as we desperately need another veteran CB. Mason's an excellent receiver though, but I think he'd rather be in a situation where he'd get a lot of the ball, and play for a contending team. I don't think Chicago can offer him that situation, but money talks. I think Angelo will go for Williams or Edwards instead though.

I better go after Williams or Edwards I don't think he'll go any other way.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Mason would get a lot of balls here. Nice quote.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) Mason would get a lot of balls here. I know the Bears QB and O-Line situation was terrible last season but look at these receivers numbers. Thomas Jones - 56 receptions, 427 YDS, 0 TD's. David Terrell - 42 receptions, 699 YDS, 1 TD. Bobby Wade - 42 receptions, 481 YDS, 0 TD's. There would be better scenarios out there for Mason, teams such as the Giants, Steelers and Seawhawks will definitely make a run at him.
February 21, 200521 yr With Grossman back and a probably revamped OLine, Mason would get a lot of balls his way.
February 21, 200521 yr Didn't Rolle just have some trouble with the law? I remember reading something about that recently. It was either him or one other guy.
February 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) Didn't Rolle just have some trouble with the law? I remember reading something about that recently. It was either him or one other guy. Yes he was arrested for assualting his wife.
February 21, 200521 yr Author QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 09:42 PM) Yes he was arrested for assualting his wife. Great he's just what we need.
February 21, 200521 yr I was hoping they would find someone else to cut other than Mason, that's sad because he's given his heart to that team.
February 21, 200521 yr yeah id love if we made a run at Mason nice solid player and a team leader. He also would be a weapon for Grossman and would allow us to draft like Derrick johnson instead of having to go with Williams or Edwards.
February 21, 200521 yr Big rumors going around that the Skins want to sign Rolle to replace Fred Smoot. I still think Mason will end up with the Giants, but that's just me.
