Corey Dillon wants to go to the Bears.... (1 Viewer)

This was on Rotoworld.......basically states whats already been said here......

The player rep for free agent Corey Dillon says his client would be interested in playing football again "if the right team called."

"Chicago is definitely a right team," agent Steve Feldman told the Chicago Sun Times. The paper believes the Bears will begin scouring the waiver wire and other teams' rosters if Cedric Benson doesn't begin producing. Benson should at least get a few more weeks before his job is in serious jeopardy.

Why wouldn't they just bench Benson and start Peterson?

Talent wise Peteson is not an upgrade, but the game I watched sure looked like he had some heart. That may win him more carries.
 
Peterson is scrappy but that fumble sure didn't win him too many points with the coaches. I'm still keeping him, dammit. :unsure:

 
The Peterson love has always had me perplexed. The guy is a pedestrian runner; and while a franchise tailback can afford a fumble or two, a backup trying to earn playing time is going to have a hard time displacing the starter when they fumble in a key situation.

 
He had a really good season last year splitting time with Maroney. 950 yards and 13 TDs is pretty good for a RBBC. I think Chicago would be wise to put him on their roster.

 
so let me get this straight, he wanted to leave one of the best teams in the NFL because he didn't want to split carries, but now he wants to go to the Bears? Just seems....odd. Don't blame the Bears for wanting him, just surprised he would do that, unless he's being promised the full time starting job...

He was playing with heart because he was trying to earn a starting spot. Too bad he didn't have the hands to hold onto the ball.If he didn't fumble, if they both held onto the ball, the Bears probably wouldn't be looking to pull someone out of retirement.

I have an incredibly thi rb team as well, but I picked up AnonymousBob instead of Dillon. :goodposting:
This news, albeit likely nothing was just enough to push me off the fence and give Benson/Vince/Calvin for Brees/CJ

You'll see Garrett Wolfe get more touches before you see Cory Dillon in the Blue & Orange.
kinda makes you wonder why they drafted him if we don't

Don't forget my grandmother. She's still available on the waiver wire in most leagues, and still faster than Dillon...

Been watching him since he came to the Bears and I don't get it either. I think people see a backup come in with fresh legs and gain more yards than the starter on a couple of plays, and they just assume he's a better back. Peterson will never be a starter, unless by injury.

I think if he went to the Bears he would not have to worry to much about splitting carries with Benson, the way AP and Benson looked Dillion could be the man in Bear town.

Hopefully we can put him in the line up at TE when they do.
