I'll be excited if it happens, but I don't think it would be a good use of cap space, I just can't justify spending that much for a RB.

Guys been a bust since he was with the Vikings. You can have himFormer Patriots’ WR Cordarrelle Patterson intends to sign with the Chicago Bears for $5 million per year, per source.

Agreed. Skrine is not a good football player. And kick returner is a less important position than it used to be, what with all the touchbacks.

I don't think so. He played 74 special teams snaps last year, which sounds like roughly the number of kickoffs.Max Power said:

Counting the bonuses, Patterson is essentially looking at $5.25 million for 1 season with the #Bears.
The Skrine deal is basically a 2 year deal.
A lot of guys coming up on extensions in the next 2 years. Pace is just preparing in advance.

Skrine had a few good games down the stretch last year, but he was bad for almost all of his Jets tenure. He had a lot of plays where he would celebrate a pass break-up (never looking back for the ball and crashing into a receiver) only to not realize that he had been called for pass interference. That got old quickly. Sometimes it would happen on consecutive pass plays. He was definitely not a fan favorite.

No way the Bears pay near that. Amos got 9-10 per for 2-3 years. Ha Ha is a slight downgrade from Amos and it's coming on the 2nd day of FA so will be cheaper.

I believe Hub Arkush said on the radio this week the Bears are very high on Javon Wims at this point. Not sure if that means they expect him to be a significant contributor this year, but wouldn't be surprised if they let WR go in favor of one more pass rusher, or depth at OLB.

I'd personally feel better with a vet. Miller and Robinson both were banged up last year and Gabriel/Patterson can't carry the load should one of the starters miss time. I did like what I saw with Wims last season though.

Great outcome signing HaHa, I always liked Amos, but feel like he's benefited from the system racking up tackles (good for him, not everbody can tackle). Clinton-Dix should do just as well cleaning up but add an element of ball hawk. Net plus in my mind, and saved money without committing to a long term investment. Bears are slightly more dangerous now.

Let me say this about Amos though, he was a cornerstone of building this defense into what it has become. For where they drafted him, he was a home run on a bad team that needed an identity. Amos backstopped a lot of development that maybe doesn't happen otherwise.
The downside of success is the Bears are so good, so strong up the middle especially, Amos skill set is just not as important for this team. The Bears are playing with house money at SS and can gamble on somebody a little more explosive. Its a great move and Amos is going to a Packers team that will really appreciate his skills. Win-win.

Fair. But playing on a wrecking crew best defense in the league might hide a lot of warts.There's a reason he could only fetch a 3.5 prove it deal.

Dead sexy
I would guess that they draft a legit SS with their R3 pick and get good ROI on the pick. Ha-Ha is just good enough to play either SS or FS. If Jackson is injured then Ha can slide over to give the rook time at SS. Ha doesn't have to work too hard on his tackling too much with the front 7 doing most of the work.

I'm not sure how Amos could fetch 9 mil a year for being the 11th best player on the Bears defense.

His warts were evident when Eddie wasn't playing. He's a good safety, not great. Definitely not a guy who's going to force many turnovers.

Ha Ha was a guy I wanted the Bears to draft coming out of college. The chemistry should certainly be there between Jackson and Clinton-Dix, with them being teammates at Alabama for a short time.
Looks like Clinton-Dix turned down more money from the Redskins to get an opportunity to play with Eddie Jackson again. Consider me excited about this move.

They were in a tough spot with Callahan. He was asking for a lot more at first and they couldn't wait around days on a guy who's unavailable for a quarter of his games each year. Don't love the Skrine signing either but it's not that big of a contract. The Bears are in an unfamiliar position. Ton of talent and not a lot of cap space.
