other free agent news 

Post#1 » by heir_jordan22 » Tue Mar 12, 2013 10:55 pm

I think we should put eberything in here not related to actual signings.

"@SportingNewsChi: Bears: Melton signs franchise tender, Bears interested in Giants Boothe, and reportedly signed tackle Jermon Bushrod.
http://t.co/xEIpkzRJNN"
Still looking to get a guard even after getting TE and LT.

Looks like Melton will help us make room

"@ESPNChiBears: And a long-term deal for Henry Melton could be on the horizon to lower that $8.45 million salary cap number."

Im expecting cuts soon.

Heir, if it's ok with you, I'm gonna put other signings & potential signings from around the NFL in here.

Jets Interested In Jason Campbell

The New York Jets are interested in signing Jason Campbell.

Campbell backed up Jay Cutler with the Chicago Bears last season.

Campbell was previously a starter with the Redskins and Raiders.

As long as Campbell sounds elsewhere than here, it sounds good to me.

He couldn't do ANYTHING.

Why not? Sanchez is obviously not their QB of the future, they've either got to motivate him or replace him.

They have four mediocre to average QBs. They'll just end up cutting all of them but Sanchez. There's no point of wasting their FA money on players that won't make an impact. THey could just draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft. That would be a bigger threat than a replacement for Mark Brunell

The Phins doing work. Not a real surprise with all that cap. Plus they have great draft picks. If the QB improves they could be a playoff team.

Ryan O'Halloran @ryanohalloran
#Jaguars have waived WR Laurent Robinson. Passed his physical so no injury settlement.

What do you guys think about picking him up for cheap cheap cheap if he is available? Had a amazing year in Dallas, and then went to the Jags who are horrible. I think he can produce reasonably well for us.

Possibly, considering that we have to add a speed threat, but I think the Bears will draft a speedy WR instead.

Reggie Bush has had some good games against us. Also, in the last two seasons he's played the best ball of his career but he couldn't stay healthy last season.

Return to Chicago Bears
