Reported that the Bears are working with Bennett's agent to find a trade partner. I hate this, I think he can still be a huge part of our offense, and that he's one of the reasonably few compete tight ends in the league. We'll end up with a HUGE hole, that even if we re-sign Miller is no where near filled, and whoopty f-n doo, another 6th round pick.
I was for getting rid of Marshall last year, so maybe I'm a hypocrite on this, but I just don't think Bennett's the team a locker room issue that Marshall was.

Bennett has been a huge pain in the ### for the Bears and had one great season with them which just happened to be the Bear's worst season in year's. It's time to cut bait and bring in players that want to help the Bears rebuild. I'm not a fan of Fleener or even Allen that much but but I'd be willing to try out Ladarius Green for the right price.

Yep, I'm thinking we pass on the Tier 1's, and can get 2 or 3 tier 2's that will really help to make this team better.

SWEET!! That's actually really good news, kinda shows he want's to be there and be a part of the offseason and camp I think. I was really worried that we didn't hear ANYTHING out of the Jeffery cap after the tag hit, was worried he would be a full camp holdout and sign right before the season like a lot of guys do. Just think it shows some level of commitment to this team.

Where is all the Bear money tied into? Cutler and? Dead money?

Cutler not even going to be in top 10 paid qbs from here on out. 15th this year. 17th next. Good luck finding a better qb anywhere near that salary.
Only big contract now will be Jeffrey. Bennett will be gone. Rookie contracts on rbs. Long, Leno, Fuller on rookie contract. Most other guys on rookie contracts. Houston 6 mil. Young 2 mil. Royal 5 mil. McPhee 7 mil.
Really no huge bloated contracts now. Royal overpaid but it isn't obscene or anything.

Wow, just looking for ways to bash Cutler?? Maybe not and I apologize if I'm wrong, but with so many Cutler haters around that's how it reads. Completely agree with Flap above. We are actually in a REALLY good cap situation right now, couple overpays in in Houston and Royal, but nothing disastrous at all. As long as we stay cautious in FA and don't give away huge money to a guy that doesn't warrant it, we are in a good spot to build the team.

Yup- that screams like a good player getting elite money because the team has the money to spend. I don't think Malik is elite. Very good, sure, elite? Not 4th best DL player in the league by a long shot.

Never mind- for some reason I was thinking that the Bears were about in less of a good cap situation than they are. They actually have the 6th most available to kick off Free Agency.

Not at all.
Cutler is Cutler. You have to know what he is- a gunslinger. He can certainly make some plays and is an above average QB but he will turn the ball over. If he was able to somehow not turn the ball over then he would be pretty close to being an elite QB.

Before Alshon signing, I think it was like 2nd or 3rd. They're in a great spot to keep building and Pace is the guy to do it. If Royal can stay healthy and be the #3 he was intended to be, I don't think his contract will be seen as too ridiculous. Not many wrs available this year in draft or fa and he can be cut next season.

Before the final game last year, he was tied with Wilson and Rodgers for 8 INTs on the year. If he can stay around that, the Bears are going to be fine.
He'll probably be the 20th highest paid qb by end of his contract. That's why I rolled my eyes a couple years ago when all of the TV losers were saying Cutler was the highest paid qb in the league. His contract was front loaded and it was misleading saying that, but most of those guys are too ignorant to know that.

Holy crap, almost had a heart attack. The score just reported breaking news that Ian Rapoport tweeted out a report that the bears agreed to a 5 year $59M deal with Travethan. I'm like WTF that's absolutely insane making him the second highest paid ILB in the league, which he is not, they were shocked by it too.
After a minute they figured out they found or someone sent them a link to a fake Rapoport account...

I was listening to that too. No one believed it was going to be that big of a contract.

Lol at that cherry-picking by ignoring Cutler's 3 pick final game.flapgreen said:
Seasons Cutler has played in at least 11 games and thrown 8 picks or less = 0.
Cutler's lowest INT total when playing 16 games = 14.
In the past 3 years Cutler has played in 41 games and thrown 41 INT's. The only way Cutler throws 8 picks or less is if he's out for half a dozen games or so.
By the way, if you're going to compare him to Wilson and Rodgers through only 15 at least include all the stats:
Wilson.......31TD......8 INT.....would have 3 TD's and 0 INT's in the final game (34-8)
Rodgers....30TD......8 INT.....would have 1 TD and 1 INT in the final game (31-9)
Cutler........19TD......8 INT.....would have 2 TD's and 3 INT's in the final game (21-11)

Man, Forte to the Jets?? Didn't see that coming, figured he'd want to try and get somewhere with some more stability, and a chance for a superbowl win. Especially with the questions at the QB position I really don't see the Jets being anything like that. Will be interested to see how much money they offered.

Rapoport saying Texans are expected to get Allen at this point. Nothing official yet though. Bears are in the office today I hope...
