Chicago Bears 2012 Offseason Thread (1 Viewer)

NFL network has started their coverage. Seem to think VJax will be a Buc.

All speculation at this point, but Bucs wouldn't surprise me either.

Colston off the board. Re-signs

Good, I'm not big on him and that has got to make Nick's departure from NO a little more likely. Edited to add: 5 year deal for $40 million with $19 million guaranteed for Colston. Seems a little steep for someone who appears to be as one-dimensional as Colston.

 

[flapgreen]

Definitely wouldn't have given him that. Jackson is going to be outrageous.

his price tag just went up with the saints signing

 

[flapgreen]

McNeil released by Chargers.

 

[SmoovySmoov]

What's the status on ROY Williams? Was he on a one year deal, or do we still have him? If it was more than one year, I hope he gets cut, but I haven't heard anything about him recently, so I didn't know if we still had him.

 

[flapgreen]

One year deal

 

[SmoovySmoov]

One year deal

 

[DoubleG]

Shefter said he wouldn't rule out the Bears making a run at Mario AND Vincent.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

If they did that, then drafted a couple of O-linemen, I'd probably have to clean up a mess and have a cigarette.

 

[RBM]

McNeil released by Chargers.

That is now four legit left tackles sitting out there for us. Absolutely no excuse, and if Webb is starting there for us in September, Emery failed miserably.

 

[ditka85]

McNeil might be had at a bargain price due to his injury history. I'd roll the dice on him.

 

[The Tick]

Tim Jennings just re-signed for two years. Nothing exciting, but had to happen, needed someone to play corner. Haven't heard any details.

 

[flapgreen]

Brandon Marshall!! OMG!!!!

 

[flapgreen]

2 3rd round picks!!! Omgomgomgomg!

 

[The Tick]

Brandon Marshall!! OMG!!!!

Holy ****!! That one i did not see coming. Two third round picks?? That sounds like a great deal! And Free Agency hasn't even started yet.

 

[KCitons]

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. And for $9.3 million. I hope this opens the door for Super Mario. Add in some OL help and draft a WR. Things are looking up

 

[Limp Ditka]

HARD!

 

[ditka85]

Great move! Only downside is Marshall's 10 cent head. He turns 28 in a few weeks and is signed thru 2014. This keeps us alive for Mario!

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

OMG!!!!

 

[The Tick]

That news required a beer. Great to work at a company that has two kegs in the break room!

 

[RC94]

I love this move for the Bears. Seems like a bargain for a player with Marshall's talent and age. He is still in his prime and is an elite talent.

 

[RBM]

Brandon Marshall!! OMG!!!!

Wow

 

[flapgreen]

I just blew a white hole in my underpants.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

3rd round pick + Greg Olsen for Brandon Marshall...I think yes!

 

[SmoovySmoov]

They've been without a #1 for so long, is it wrong of me to hope they could still land VJax, also? I know it's probably doubtful now, but if they could add Marshall, VJax and Mario all in one day, I would cream my shorts.

 

[RBM]

Prefer Marshall to VJax

Welcome aboard Phil Emery

 

[KCitons]

I prefer Marshall too. He will be happy to be reunited with Cutler. I don't want VJax anymore. I would love to have Super Mario. But, I would like to see another WR signed. Maybe Garcon or Robinson.

 

[swidman]

Prefer Marshall to VJaxWelcome aboard Phil Emery

+1

 

[Limp Ditka]

Per Jay Glazer bears trade for Brandon Marshall.

Where would we be without you?

 

[RBM]

Holy ####.....this is for one of the thirds this yr. Other third is from next yr.

Wow....even better

 

[ditka85]

Kendall Wright would look awfully good at 1.19 now.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

Chicago has to sign Eddie Royal now. The 2008 Broncos...I mean 2012 Bears

 

[Statcruncher]

A 3 time pro-bowl 27 year old 230lb 6'4" WR wearing a Bears uniform? Are you kidding me?

 

[Fiddles]

hate you guys :cartman:

Unreal huh

 

[geoff8695]

Holy shiznit!

Unreal huh

Great move and totally under the radar. Bold first move by the new GM Emery and I have to say I absolutely love it. Bears get the upgrade they desperately need for the WR corps and still have enough money to go after one of the big ticket free agents

 

[whitem0nkey]

the bears just committed a highway robbery.

 

[ditka85]

Marshall's salary averages 9 million the next 3 years. Still cheaper than VJax.

 

[whitem0nkey]

Marty Booker in 2002 was the last Bears wide receiver with a 1000-yard season.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I'm not sure if I'm happy about this move if it means the end of the Dane Sanzenbacher era.

 

[D.J.]

Kendall Wright would look awfully good at 1.19 now.

+1 Stephen Hill would look pretty good opposite Marshall, too. I would still love to sign Mario, but sounds like he is on his way to Buffalo for a visit. It will be tough to get him to leave...too bad it's not January, then he would RUN away from Buffalo...

I'm not sure running to Chicago in January would be that much better. Weather wise.

 

[KCitons]

Garcon is off the table. He tweeted that he is signing with the Skins

:X

 

[flapgreen]

Mario visiting Bills tonight. Not looking good for Bears.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

Heard Carl Nicks is getting pursued by the Bears.

Jason Campbell as well.

Campbell sounds close to being done deal. Twitter saying Tampa talking with Nicks.

While I hate it for one of my fantasy teams, Jason Campbell is a perfect guy for the backup role.

word on the score is that it would be about 3 million for Campbell.its a lot, but they need one and if that is the price so be it.so where the the bears now rank for QB/WR combo? 5th?1-Rogers-Jennings2-Brady-Walker3-Schaub-Johnson4-Stafford-Johnson5-Cutler-Marshall?
