I am sooooooo glad we dont have to deal with Walk Year Marshall

 

So now for 2015(yes I'm randomly looking ahead) the Bears have.....

 

QB-Cutler/Fales

RB-Forte/Carey

WR-Marshall/Jeffery/Wilson

TE-Bennett/(Onubun)

LT-Bushrod

LG-Slauson

C- ?

RG-Long

RT-Mills

 

DE-Allen/Houston/Young

DT-Ratliff/Ego/Sutton

LB-Bostic/SMC/Greene/(Jones)

CB-Jennings/Fuller/Frey

SS- Mundy

FS- Vereen

 

All signed.

 

They're also gonna have ~30M in cap space.

 

If they get 3 of those LBs to step up and the rookies prove to be starting quality, that's an awful lot of money for not a lot of needs. Center is the only position not accounted for and I can almost guarantee the Bears resign Brian De La Puente to fill that roll.

 

Just found that a little interesting.

 

EDIT- And those are just the "key guys" right now they have 47 guys signed for next year.

Bears signed WR Brandon Marshall to a three-year, $30 million extension through 2018.

 

In what we believe is a first, Marshall signed his deal live on the daytime talk show "The View." The extension is tacked onto the $9.3 million he was previously owed in 2014, putting Marshall on the books for $39.3 million over the next four seasons. The "new money" includes $23 million guaranteed. It's a ton of coin for a sometimes mercurial player on the wrong side of 30, but Marshall has certainly earned it with on-field dominance. Since joining the Bears two years ago, he's averaged 109 catches for 1401.5 yards and 11.5 touchdowns per season. With Bromance partner Jay Cutler and quarterback whisperer Marc Trestman locked in place, we don't see a letdown coming anytime soon.

 

Per Rotoworld

Why do they call Marc Trestman the quarterback whisperer?

Why do they call Marc Trestman the quarterback whisperer?

 

Mainly for his reputation with QBs and the play that came out of Josh McCown and Jay Cutler last year.

Why do they call Marc Trestman the quarterback whisperer?

He started in the NFL as a QB coach and over the years as a QB coach/Off Coordinator guys like Kosar, Steve Young, Scott Mitchell, Jake Plummer, Rich Gannon and last season McCown all thrived with him. Anthony Calvillo also put up huge numbers for him in MTL.

Why do they call Marc Trestman the quarterback whisperer?

 

What they said above. Its a take off from the book and movie "The Horse Whisperer," about a horse trainer.

Could you imagine if, instead of it being about that, Trestman talked normally to everyone else but whispered to quarterbacks?

 

"HEY NICE ROUTE BRANDON. NICE CHIP FORTE! really nice placement on that ball Jay [wink]"

Why do they call Dom Capers a defensive guru?

And awesome, Marshall is my favorite player in the league, so this makes me happy.

I chuckled.

Here we go....The #Packers have signed former Oregon TE Colt Lyerla after tryout at rookie orientation.

 

 

Bears are set at an under/over of 8 wins this year in Vegas.

I haven't looked at their schedule but that seems like a pretty easy over.

Gonna be tougher after an 0-1 start.

Shocker. Minnesota wins the bid for Super Bowl LII. Breaks New Orleans streak.

The average high for the first full weekend of February in Minneapolis is 27 degrees. The average low is 10. For comparison's sake, the average H/L in East Rutherford for the same day is 41/24.

 

Yes, that is going to be a cold ass Superbowl.

Their new stadium is outdoors right?

No, it's not, but it's still going to be very cold trying to do anything in town aside from being at the game.
