2014 Chicago Bears Offseason Thread

like how he goes from "can't tell a lot" to "look for a lot"

[Guest]

I hope he's still considered for LT in a post-Bushrod era:

 

@AdamHoge: Kromer said Kyle Long will remain at guard. Didn’t rule out a move to tackle eventually, but they still want him learning guard.

[Guest]

aren't guards more important than tackles in their system (probably an oversimplification)?

Yeah - at the very least, they value interior play more.

@RobDemovsky: The #Packers are learning toward signing TE Colt Lyerla but are still discussing it, according to a source.

 

@RobDemovsky: Don't expect a final decision on Lyerla today. Apparently GM Ted Thompson wants to take some more time to think about it.

Apparently the Texans tried to trade for Shea McClellan last summer and Emery turned them down. Not sure what was offered.

Cover 2 only works against the Lions.

[Banedon]

Emery on Mully and Hanley right now.

Well that's a thing I like.

That's cool but hopefully we generate a pass rush too.

3 year 30M extension for marshall

If you can force teams into obvious passing situations because they can't run on you it becomes easier to rush the passer.

Marshall just tweeted....3 years $30 million extension.

Cutler and BMarsh getting extended in the same offseason...that works out well.

So a 3-yr extension at $30 million would mean Marshall is on the books for $39.3 million over next 4 seasons.

marshall signing his extension on the view lol

 

[jersey cubs fan]

He announced it on the view and donated $1m to mental health.

So awesome.

[davell]

He took a very large discount to stick around too. If he were to hit the open market, it's possible he could have doubled his guaranteed money.

[Sammy Sofa]

He's the best. And that suit...MAGNIFICENT.
