southsider2k5 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 16, 2012 -> 08:59 AM) Again, someone brings up murder (or rape) which I think are on another level. If we'd just traded for the corpse of Rae Carruth, I'd swear off the Bears. There's levels of bad, people. No, more towards how hard it is to get a conviction against someone if you are loaded with money,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 A few targets I'd like to see the Bears pursue: OJ Atogwe, Kamerion Wimbley (if/when he gets cut), Matt Birk, John Abraham, Marcus McNeill There are also quite a few nice RB available. Michael Bush has come in for a visit, but other available names include Joseph Addai, Mike Tolbert, Brandon Jacobs, Ladainian Tomlinson, Derrick Ward...

Soxbadger Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Id be fine with Abraham for a cheap 1-2 year deal, Wimbley is probably going to cost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is that he isn't really a true 4-3 DE or LB. Yet, he's got the skills to play both in a 4-3 system. You can line him up on the opposite side of Peppers or bring him in for Roach and let him rush the passer. And he's obviously much younger than Abraham. But both would be great additions.

I think Atogwe/Birk are past their best days not really interested in either. I'm hoping the Bears push hard for Wimbley and if that doesn't happen wouldn't mind Abraham as a specialized pass rusher with Izzy in on run plays. I'm also hoping the Bears bring back Okoye.

Atogwe was hurt most of last year if I'm not mistaken, and the year before that, he was one of the top safeties in the league. He'd be a great FS to have and I think pairing him with Major Wright makes a damn fine duo. Birk is old, ya, but for a year or 2, he could still give you good production and improve the O-Line. And agreed on Okoye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Easily the top pass rusher left on the market, Abraham will return to the team where he's spent the past six years. Abraham was often on a snap count during his age-33 campaign last season, but was still one of the league's top 4-3 ends, and notched 9.5 of the Falcons' 33 sacks. His departure would have left a gaping hole along the Falcons' defensive line.
