This makes Marshall look even better

 

That deal for Garcon is typical Washington. Let's give 40 million to a WR who has never had a 1000 yard season.

I don't know that it's high risk. Even with all the crazy, he's been productive with 6 straight seasons of over 1,000 yards receiving... at age 27.

 

Maybe not high risk, but there is some risk.

I was just going off what you stated.

He got stabbed, by his wife, last offseason.. I dont think its hard to get whats wrong with him..

 

He is a great WR, cant argue that.. but the dude is a little off.. I think they new regime in Miami just didnt want him around and thats the main reason why they dumped him.. They had plenty of cap space, not like they were under the gun or anything..

one of my favorite sound clips of all time....peazy

Yup. Does that deal take all of their cap space after they lost 36 mil of cap space?

yeah he has borderline personality disorder, which frankly, the bears will need professional help to deal with....i hope they can get him the help off the field that he is going to need. Now that clearly has not affected his on the field play much at all to this point of his career, so hopefully it wont in the future either.

 

Just some numbers to throw out there...

 

 

16 games - 81 catches 1214 yards 15.0 avg 6TDs

14 games - 86 catches 1014 yards 11.8 avg 3 TDs

15 games - 101 catches 1120 yards 11.1 avg 10 TDs

15 games - 104 catches 1265 yards 12.2 avg 6 TDs

16 games - 102 catches 1325 yards 15.5 avg 7 TDs

 

vs.

 

16 games - 60 catches 1106 yards 18.4 avg 9 TDs

5 games - 14 catches 248 yards 17.7 avg 3 TDs

15 games - 68 catches 1167 yards 17.2 avg 9 TDs

16 games - 59 catches 1098 yards 18.6 avg 7 TDs

16 games - 41 catches 623 yards 15.2 avg 3 TDs

 

first is marshall who is over an entire year younger as well, second is vjack

this changes so much in the draft IMO. With OT relatively weak in this draft, esp at 19 (unless the bears like the kid from OSU who had a bad combine and has seen his stock drop) the bears can go pretty much anywhere now. Wouldn't be surprise if any position on the defense is taken - they need to draft the replacements at LB, need CB depth, always need a safety, and since DL is looking like it won't be addressed (at least with mario williams), i could see DT or DE in the first round

 

TE might be addressed too

Are they trying to appease Peyton with mediocre wideouts now?

Their QB is going to be RGIII

Oh right, I forgot they traded up in the draft.

I suspect that they are trying to get 4-5 wrs and run a bunch of wide open sets.

Royal excelled with Shanny. The deal is supposedly not final, according to PFT.

maybe Emery can next work his magic on the Chicago Park District about getting some turf in that stadium that wont embarrass the city and destroy knees

has there been any word on which 3rd round pick we are giving up? I have to assume its the panthers one this year, which is #73 overall

 

the 73rd pick has a value of 225 pts in the NFL value charts. Assuming conservatively that the bears will pick 22 overall next year - their third round pick will be #86 overall, worth 160 pts

http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/Value-Chart.php

 

so the bears gave up 385 pts for marshall, which correlates to the #51-52 pick overall - so basically would the bears have gotten a guy at that draft spot equal to Marshall - almost certianly not

 

just for comparisons sake - i found this which is actually pretty nice, showing what recent WRs have been traded for (as of 2010)

It was a great trade, Greg Olsen is easily worth half a Brandon Marshall.

Marshall will wear 19, he has already changed his twitter handle to TheBMarshall19...

 

edit: or not, it was up now its down

NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora Reports: Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte will agree to a contract extension within the next 24 hours.

Bears working to sign FA Jeremy Mincey.

 

No Mario? Fine, Mincey would be a nice bookend himself.

That is a fake rumor. IT is not on his twitter.

#Bears interest in DE Jeremy Mincey detailed here by @DanPompei

 

Mincey had 8 sacks last year.

Campbell officially signs a one-year deal. Now let's hope we never have to see him during a real game.

Great signing. Hope we never have to see him play a meaningful snap.
