.@TWaddle87 has been all over this Jared Allen possibility. Can #Bears get it done?

[davell]

I asked Michael Wright, he said they're in on him as well.

Don't get ur hopes up. RT “@tonyjaramillo_7: @mikecwright what's your gut on Jared Allen signing with da #bears?”

[Butterscup1679666578]

Do we even want Allen? I mean, I love the idea of adding two DL, one a solid pass rusher, one a solid run defender, but at what point does he start declining?

For a couple of years, it should be fine. He'd be better than Tuck, I think.

if the Bears sign Jared Allen I will run the streets of Seattle naked

As with everything, depends on the details

Tuck it is.

[Guest]

I'm concerned about Tuck's injuries in 2011-12 but I didn't realize he was that good last year.

[Soul]

Nor did I. Although it makes sense -- the NYG were a hot mess last year, not much reason to pay attention to them.

[Banedon]

I'll put this here since there was interest in Sproles. Apparently the Saints intend to trade him rather than release him now, due to the amount of interest in him.

Not sure how much sense he makes for the Niners but they have an excess of picks (11 I think).

Tuck is visiting the Raiders today.

I know defensive stats don't tell the whole story, but Tuck had 1.5 sacks going into Week 12, with only 2 games over 2 tackles after Week 2. Then he went HAM on the Redskins twice for 6 of his 9.5 sacks in the last 6 weeks. Giants fans thought he was done around midseason.

G Chris Williams signing a four-year, $13.5 million deal that includes $5.5 million guaranteed with the Buffalo Bills.

I really want the Bears to jump on Walter Thurmond III. With guys like Verner signing for under 6Mil per, WT3 probably won't cost more than 4-5 Mil. Good nickel for Seattle, that would give the Bears all kinds of flexibility. He can start on the outside, or upgrade the nickel if you draft a guy that forces his way on the field.

 

It seems like they are waiting to see what happens with Tillman and McCown. Those moves will determine what they do at CB and the cap room they have. I'm afraid they'll miss out on anyone significant if they wait though. If they don't sign a starting caliber FA CB, they're going to have to hope for Justin Gilbert or Darqueze Dennard, IMO.

Wow, he's actually gotten better since he left the Bears.

Or a few guys got even worse.

[Smack]

He probably thought his agent was pranking him when he called with that offer.

[Banedon]

For comparison, the Bears signed Slauson last year for 4yrs/$12.8m.
