I think the hangup is that it's freaking Buffalo. He's gotta convince the fiancee that it's worth the extra $$ to move there. "Baby, it may be a grey wasteland devoid of happiness, but think of the money!"

Bears have best offense in NFCN? lol wut? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82796081/article/qbrbwr-trio-provides-bears-with-potent-and-balanced-punch?module=HP11_cp
So with Weems - sounds like he's now the go to KR guy (he actually had a higher yards per return average than Hester last year on KR) and competing for slot receiver.
And Weems got a DUI in 2009, so Emery was correct when talking about bringing in Playmakers, unfortunately, it's like the Playmakers from the ESPN show... Wow a DUI 3 years ago. SCANDALOUS
And UMF's proud streak of not being the most panicky person here continues... On a random note: I've always wondered how much sleep front offices/agents actually get in periods like this. While I'm sure it varies greatly depending on the team and situation, I wonder how many all-nighters are going on right now.
I love lawyer-speak. "Function at a local club" is fantastic. Hopefully that's reflective of what actually went down. Certainly wouldn't be the first time this happened to an athlete.
I bet the Mincey signing is disappointing for Emery. I like the Meacham signing for San Diego. With Mincey gone, I wonder where the Bears turn the efforts now? I'd imagine they're following the Gathier and Wimbley situations closely.
Oh FFS... Apparently Mario will not sign with Buffalo right away and will visit other teams. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/13/report-mario-williams-leaving-buffalo-without-signing-will-visit-others/
I mean on some level I understand the Campbell signing because if Cutler somehow was out for some period of time and the replacement was worthless like last year, they'd look pretty damn bad. Still, a hefty chunk of change.
