    Bears sign him to a one year deal.

    Walterfootball has the Bears taking Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas St in the first round now, FWIW.

    I wouldn't want the read option to be a staple but Cutler should absolutely run by design on occasion. Yeah. Being in the package isn't the same as being a staple of the offense. Get it on video for other teams to have to prepare for.

    I know there's a lot of alarmism going on and I know concussions are a significant issue, but this is getting ridiculous. How in the world is this enforceable without really dragging down the games? It depends on how far it gets out of hand. The NFL reviewed a week of games and found 5 times that it was worthy of penalty. It is only for plays outside the tackle box and only on obvious situations (so it's not as strong as the QB rule where even inadvertent contact is called). If it's only happening in 1 out of 3 games even before the RB's start adjusting for it, it shouldn't be getting called all that often. If it's only happening that often, why the need for the rule change?

    Jim Schwartz challenge flag rule also was changed.

    Tuck rule change passed overwhelmingly. As did the RB crown of the helmet rule. Dumb. EDIT: Crown of the helmet rule change vote was 31-1.

    Says they're looking at it, that everybody is looking at it right now. -Martellus is a 3 down player. Prideful blocker, smart guy. Ascending 26yo TE with the upsides to do it all. -Playbook not quite done yet. Won't give it to the players till it's "clean". -Little communication with Cutler so far. Just brief non-football conversation. Praising him left and right though...can make all the throws, inventory of passes....etc.

    Trestman having breakfast with media this morning: -Sounds like Hester will be strictly a returner. Will spend most of his time working with Joe DeCammillis. -Jeffrey will probably start -Cutler will work on his mechanics. Read option will be in the Bears package. -Urlacher can still help on the field. Ted and Phil actively working to resolve the issue. "We thought without question that he can play on 1st & 2nd down for us." Sounds like it's strictly a matter of money.

    For when you have to remember why Angelo had to go. But also, after year 1 Emery has not exactly shown that he's capable of doing the opposite. Also this should be something that shuts up all the people who claim the Bears aren't good enough because ownership is cheap. This is an important draft for Emery, IMO.

    I don't know how a SB team with 14 draft picks isn't #1.... http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/74371/espn-coms-nfl-pre-draft-power-rankings-2

    @ESPNChiCubs Ian Stewart this morn: "Just trying to run. Can't run." @ESPNChiCubs More Stewart: "Its almost like it stopped healing, almost. Maybe its healing but it doesn't feel like it." @ESPNChiCubs Stewart MRI shows fluid. Opening day has been ruled out. Starts on DL.

    I know that hockey isn't the only sport that is irresponsible with salaries, but they're the most economically challenged of the 4 major sports, and they continue to give out these kinds of deals. From an admittedly new-ish hockey fan, it just seems pretty ridiculous. These things are relative though. The best players in the NHL don't even make half of what the best players in MLB, NFL or NBA make. In this case, Perry is making about 1/7 of the team payroll. That would be like the Cubs paying an MVP caliber player $21 million per season. Good point. And I was referring more to an overall trend of long term deals with hockey players that have seemed ridiculous over the years, and probably mis-attributing one thing to the other.

    New Jags logo and new Dolphins logo leaked. Jags: Dolphins:
