Chicago Bears Offseason 2012

Awww...you guys are gonna be debbie downer an hour before the floodgates open?

 

Hey now, cubbyvirus is always like that.

 

I also don't think the Bears will get Vincent Jackson.

 

I'll be disappointed if we don't get Mario at this point.

[Smack]

i don't know what will happen if we don't get VJ

 

You'll have a nervous breakdown and become an extreme free-market capitalist.

 

hahaha, nice

I'm pretty skeptical of getting VJax and I feel like the market has been wayyyy too quiet for Mario so far. Kinda expecting a mystery team.

We don't HAVE to get either of the big 2 to make the team a legit contender. Prisco said he thinks Tampa gets both V-Jax and Carr, by the way. We could add McNeill, Wimbley, Hawthorne, and one of Manningham, Wayne, or Garcon and be much, much better than we were.

[Banedon]

Oh also. I'd like to request that we make all of our moves within 5-10 min of the opening of free agency. That'd be awesome, thanks Bears.

I'd throw Meachem in there too. But I generally agree.

I'm starting to think this is a huge smokescreen. Bears have been rumored to be the front runners for Mario Williams, going hard after Vincent Jackson, and very interested in Laron Landry, Michael Hawthorne, Carl Nicks, Ben Grubbs, Kamerion Wimbley (if cut) was their #1 target last year before he re-signed with the Raiders, they were previously linked to Colston.

 

Give me Wimbley (if/when cut), Meachem, McNeill, Bartell from St Louis and I'm a happy guy going into the draft.

ah, disappointment. i'd rather have gaither than mcneill, btw.

[ctcf]

I'd rather him too, but word is the Bolts are trying hard to keep him.

[sneakypower]

stop talking about David Hawthorne; he's my #1 FA priority and you already have Urlacher

Agreed.

[ctcf]

Bills now also in on Mario. Shut up, Buffalo.

[Banedon]

Gaither was a FA last year and was out on the market for a really long time if I recall.

Gaither was a FA last year and was out on the market for a really long time if I recall.

 

then he got picked up by KC and was cut after faulting on his first snap, went to SD and was a monster. would love that guy, still young enough to be with us for a while.

Hearing Bucs are favorite to land Vincent Jackson. Far from over though.

 

I don't see how anyone can be favorites for anything when they can't even talk to FA's for another 10 minutes. I'm not naieve to think that both sides don't communicate through back channels and agents, but I still think theres no way for any media guy to know who is the favorite for what. The only thing they should know is what individual teams are looking to do and possibly what teams the FA is interested the most in. You can put 2+2 together and make a logical guess, but I don't think its particularly accurate until teams fully unveil their gameplan 10 minutes from now.

[UMFan83]

Do you think Lovie, Phillips and Emery are all sitting in a board room with 3 phones in front of them watching the clock slowly move towards 3PM?

 

Or do you think it's like the ticketmaster get around where they call a players agent at 2:50 to talk about another player they represent who plays for the Bears and then at 3PM exactly they say 'hey, you don't happen to have Mario Williams around do you? Can I speak with him?' so that they beat all the other teams to the punch?

According to Glazer a couple seconds ago, Bears traded for Brandon Marshall. 2 third rounders.
