Excellent signing. Was surprised to see this from Windy City Gridiron:
-
Shaq Lawson is my vote. Pass rush is my #1 priority. It's a bonus he's graded out so well against the run too. From what I've read he can rush the passer from about anywhere, including the 5T.

First one reads the same as the second one to me Basically what was said above Schwo-lair. Instead of just ler, like bowler, you need the inflection. -

What's the enunciation there? I'm reading it as Schwo-ler. Which I think is great. Based on your boner reasoning, I'm guessing you're saying Schwoler like bowler. -
They have multiple contracts that are easy to restructure apparently and Payton has expressed his unadulterated love for Hill and how he plays the game. He'll stay a Saint.

I found it interesting. He did have 22 pass breakups. I liked Porter and have no problem with them bringing him back at ~5 mil with the dearth of secondary depth on the team. He's not great, but I wouldn't even address starting CB opposite Fuller before I picked out multiple guys to help the front 7.

Bears re-sign Tracy Porter 6:08 p.m. ET, Wed., March 9 Tracy Porter is re-signing with the Chicago Bears on a three-year, $16.5 million deal, per Ian Rapoport. This is steep money for a player that has five straight negatively-graded seasons. Porter graded out as our 78th-best cornerback in 2015, allowing seven touchdowns and 687 yards in his coverage. His 1.40 yards per cover snap allowed ranked in the bottom quarter of the league. – John Kosko, @PFF_JohnKosko

Bears sign former Arizona tackle Bobby Massie 5:07 p.m. ET, Wed., March 9 Kyle Long had an inconsistent 2015 season at right tackle for the Bears, so finding a replacement that allows him to kick back inside to his natural right guard position makes sense. This being said, Bobby Massie should not be viewed as a top-end starter. He has been an above-average run-blocker during his four-year career, but in 2,084 career pass-blocking snaps, his cumulative grade is -38.3 (0.0 is average). Chicago’s move was first reported by Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole. – Josh Liskiewitz, @PFF_Josh

It's logical that Hendricks is the easiest to frame but also the most reliant. I'd love to see it personally. Plenty of time still to abandon all hope.

Another 7m/yr type player. Certainly a big upgrade.
-
Then it would be: Rizzo Bryant Schwarber Heyward Zobrist whatever
-
Trevathan would be an awesome pickup, I hope that comes true. The secondary DL market rumors haven't made any mention of Ian Williams recently that I'm aware of. I'm sticking with my prediction of the Bears signing him since they're moving Goldman to one of the 5's.
-
This makes it sound a little too optimistic to me actually. I have nothing to support this claim, but thumb injuries are a bitch. The Cards are death-spiraling.

Ahh, so clever. Old habits.

I don't disagree with that premise entirely. But prior situation shapes into the decision prominently as another medical risk increases the likelihood of destroying 1st round impact player value in consecutive years. As this team is not presently a winning perennial playoff contender nor loaded with talent, only if such a wide talent gap exists between players can that gamble be made worth it. Early in the draft, this does not seem to be the case. This franchise is already thoroughly hamstrung from disappointing draft selections and the margin or error has grown too small. I'm confident that Emery won't even approach that risk without a significant set of circumstances playing out perfectly, and even then...
-
Lawson would be great. Darron Lee seems like a pretty intriguing pick as well.
-
Well damn...feeling kinda crummy for Cogs now. Apparently I've grown a sentimental attraction and was just thinking again about how shitty Coghlan must feel. And then I see this. To go to the A's on top of it all...Yeesh.
-
The former, Soler isn't going anywhere.
-
I will miss Cog's bat off the bench but whatever, Fowler.
-
I love this soooo hard.
-
Sad to see forte go but I 95% expected it all season. Hopefully the defense can get another McPhee like signing but I have no clue who's out there.

Congrats! Sounds nice. -
Seeing defensive teams duke it out can be ugly, but I didn't think this one was boring. Big plays and turnovers were there. Glad for Peyton after the career he's had to go out a champ. Eli's face made it all the better.
