I'd love it just for the meatballs that would be up in arms.

Does suh take the justin smith role in the 3-4 under? Adding an edge rusher through the draft and that front 7 is dramatically impacted. Still work to do in the secondary but there is suddenly an ability to pressure the qb

[Guest]

Me wanty. And yes, Suh would be devastating in a dynamic hybrid scheme. He wouldn't have to hold the point of attack so much. i'm sure he's interested.

I know it's been generally discussed before, but I had not thought of the Gase angle or seen it mentioned here.

 

ESPN Chicago admits it's uncertain whether Brandon Marshall will be back with the Bears in 2015.

The Bears just signed Marshall to a new four-year, $39 million deal last May, but the regime that handed him that extension is now gone. Marshall is still a fine player and worth the money, but there's been some question whether he'll be able to coexist in Chicago with the new staff. OC Adam Gase was the Broncos' WRs coach when Marshall wanted out of Denver. The Bears may also jettison Marshall's quarterback and good friend, Jay Cutler. Marshall carries a $9.575M cap number. Ultimately, it'd be a surprise if Marshall isn't a Bear.

[Guest]

I can't believe that any regime is going to jettison an able starting caliber QB to go out into the cold without a similarly capable replacement in hand.

 

If they are, they are the wrong people.

How do you go from uncertain whether Marshall will be back to it would be a surprise if Marshall isn't a Bear?

Possibly a typo?

Typo or bad wording/grammar

[Banedon]

That sounds like complete conjecture.

I mean the conjecture re: Gase is basically why I bothered posting it.

ESPN Chicago is uncertain. Rotoworld would be surprised.

Bears are retaining WR coach Mike Groh. The team announced it extended Groh's contract.

 

 

 

Could this be a signal they are maintaining status quo with receivers, and keeping Marshall?

[jersey cubs fan]

man it would be so sweet if they kept many of the same players that are rumored to be gone (Cutler, Marshall, Briggs, Allen) and basically just blamed it all on Trestman and his coordinators... and then won next year.

[Banedon]

So Urlacher really didn't like Emery...not that that's news, but he expanded a bit on it today...

Should have just skipped the pitty offer I guess.

1st Round, No. 7: QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon (6-4, 215 pounds)

 

There will be much debate about whether or not the Bears should use the seventh overall pick on either Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston if one or both are still available. The Bears’ defensive needs are exorbitant, but then again, they have a quarterback problem and that’s the most important position on the team. Top 10 picks are rare, and when you have one with a good quarterback available to you, I believe you have to take a swing.

What on Earth?

What on Earth?

 

He's confused why there's so much negativity on this. Seriously. He tweeted that.

and only a few of the comments to that tweet are really even clued in on why that mock draft is ridiculous.

 

I haven't seen one other mock draft where either of the QBs fall beyond the top 2.

 

He seems to think the hate is coming from Cutler defenders.

Gotta keep him. He got a sack against the super bowl champs.

@corryjoel

 

Lamarr Houston's $5.9M 2015 base salary was GTD for injury at signing.

 

So there's not much choice in the matter.

That's the problem of doing a 1 team mock draft.
