If Boldin is still a possibility..

Shouldn't the Bears attempt to grab him from Arizona. We've got our franchise QB, yet our receiving corps is still the weakest in the league. Obviously it would include our 2nd Round pick, but if we get an All-Pro WR, that pick would prove helpful enough.

What kind of package would it take for the Bears to pry Boldin away? 2nd + Urlacher??

Yeah, it would have to be something insane like 2nd + Urlacher, and thats if they want Urlacher/if we want to part with Urlacher.

Of course they should go after him, but ESPN this morning said the Cardinals are looking for a 1st and a 3rd for him, which they won't get. However, they have every right to demand a 1st for him even if it's a low 1st; he's that good.

If we have a low 1st rounder to give up for him, Cliff Levingston would make that deal yesterday.Cutler to Boldin with Hester, Olsen and Forte to keep defenses honest? The league might as well forfeit!

I would wanna see the Bears go after Boldin or Plax.

Boldin may be more attractive right now but i dont know if we have the draft picks left to trade for him after Cutler and i dont think we should give up a guy like Urlacher and $@#+ with our teams chemistry to aquire Boldin considering he has character issues and is only a WR. The only time i would even have considered giving up Urlacher is to trade for a franchise QB cause that is the most important position but we already got that without doing so and i would not do that for a WR with character issues in Boldin as much as i like how hard he plays and how much i would want him. Urlacher is pretty much the QB of our D and there would be no point of $@#+%*% around with our defense right when we are finally getting our offense back together.

Plax i think would be ideal. Im a big Plax fan considering other than the Bears fan and i $@#+%*% hate everything there is to do with Boston so needless to say i was a big Giant supporter in that playoff run and Plax was my favorite target. and he would be an ideal big time possesion WR target to pair opposite side the young smaller and speedier merging WR in Hester. With capable slot guys in Rashied Davis and Earl Bennett and probably the best TE combo in the league in Clark and Olsen AND possbly the best recieving back in the league in Hester all meshed with a young franchise QB ith a rocket arm in Cutler that is a passing attack that cannot be %#!!%# around with after we have consistently had the worst passing attack in the league.... but than again it would be a bummer if Plax would have to deal with prison time during the season so i guess wed have to wait on that. But on a positive note he is a FA so we dont have to trade anyone to acquire him. I guess if Prison gets in the way we can always take Holt, he is still good and would be better with Cutler throwing to him and he is a standout guy and a team leader which is good for our young offense. Not to mention he has a good relationship with Lovi from their St. Louis days as well as Orlando Pace and he reportedly was working with Hester on is route running when they were at the Pro Bowl together so he would be a big help to Hesters development. I think Plax could bring more to the table right now and would fit in perfectly with us but i would not complin one bit if we signed Holt instead if we didnt want to give up too much in a trade for Q or deal with prison related issues with Plax.
