Bears likely will draft a safety no? So they need a competent vet in the mean time.

Disappointed in the Bears' moves thus far. Seems like they are getting outbid on a lot of the guys they are interested in.
NOW, GRANTED, the season isn't won in March, but it would at least feel better if we were getting more of these guys we were reportedly after.
Who are all the guys they missed out on? Knighton is the only person that I know of.

There have been a couple of S and LBs that they were sniffing at and they got outbid on. There are still a couple S that are undecided. But I'm also concerned about what is going on around the league. Graham to Seattle. Detroit getting Ngata. Bears getting Cutler

Re: Free Agent Rumors
Holy crap. Jake Locker just retired at age 26. Why couldn't we trade Cutler there again?

Bears also signed the LB from the ravens.

IDK, I like the Eddie Royal signing. Speed receiver to compliment their big targets.

Re: Free Agent Rumors
I'm going to stop talking now, because it seems like a lot of these rumors are bunk. Bears might still be in on some of these guys.

I have to disagree with your take it's disappointing to watch the Bears getting outbid. Spending a good chunk of your cap space within the first 3 hours of FA is never a good idea. Market inflates the first day and settles down later in the week. McCourty took less to stay with NE, but he is the only guy I would pay what the market set him at.
In all, I'm good with the Bears taking their time and signing guys to deals that work best for the team.

Re: Free Agent Rumors
Hopefully they don't overspend but I like the Bears signing Royal. He would fill the void at KR/PR too. Smart choice by Pace.

Re: Free Agent Rumors
I like McPhee and Royal will be good at the right price. I *pray* that Rolle is coming in for cheap. I see his addition as being good in terms of locker room leadership, but 32 is way too old to be paying him good money.

3 yrs 11.5 i believe which i don;'t think is bad because he's still pretty good.

It's 5 guaranteed, so that's not bad at all. I understand the signing, because the Bears need veteran leadership on the team *now*.

I'm hoping we grab another ILB in FA. Then we'd really be in a position to take BPA for each pick in the draft.

Also read earlier we may show interest in Gold son if Love signs Conte and Gold son gets cut. That may have just been speculation but Fangio and Donatell made home a two time pro bowler in SF so it would make sense. But the buzz makes it seem like we will likely look to add another safety even though we just signed Rolle.

Re: Free Agent Rumors
adding depth at LB and S won't hurt.
