Since the season is officially over, I thought it would be a good time to start looking at rumors.

Those who know Suh believe that playing in New York, Dallas or Chicago always has appealed to him

-Adam Schefter

There haven't been any talks between Justin Houston and the Chiefs up to this date.

-Herbie Teope, Chiefs Digest

The Redskins aren't expected to re-sign Brian Orakpo.

-John Keim, ESPN Redskins

Bernard Pollard told the Titans that he wants to be released.

- Jim Wyatt, The Tennessean

The combo of Suh and one of Houston or Orakpo would significantly improve our defense. Since Orakpo has an injury history and is actually coming off one, he'll be a lot cheaper than Houston. Houston isn't that much better than Orakpo, so assuming he stays healthy, Orakpo would be one of the biggest steal of FA.

Brian Orakpo will be 29 when the season starts. I'm not sure about Signing him to a 3 or 4 year deal.

Josh McCown visited Da Bears... could he be back?

For the love of god, please, no. He's not good. He had one decent portion of a season in 7 games with Trestman. He's not better than Cutler and the stupid debate of people who hate Cutler and fawn over McCown and ignore his entire career needs to stop. The Bears need to go out and sign an actual at least decent QB to sit behind Cutler and god forbid, if they need to play, can actually win a game and not manage it.

The Trestman offense just keeps on giving for Josh McCown. I guess Cleveland couldn't find his 2002-2012 or 2014 footage and signed him to a 3yr/15mil contract. So far, he's parlayed those starts for the Bears into about $20mil. Bears dodged that bullet, but they should take a look at Brian Hoyer or Mike Glennon. There's not much help in the FA QB pool in 2015.

Virgil Green is a free agent. I've seen a few articles saying he could follow Gase and Fox here. Would be a good under the radar pickup.

Patriots didn't tag Devin McCourty... He is a real possibility now!

Big fish starting to fall in FA! Tuesday can't get here fast enough

Aaaaaand there goes McCourty back to NE. Bears should shift focus on Saftey to R. Moore.

I'd rather go after tashaun gipson, although he is a RFA.

Teams showing 'serious interest' in impending unrestricted free agent DT Terrance 'Pot Roast' Knighton include Chicago, Indianapolis, Oakland and Washington." - Josina Anderson, ESPN

Ive wanted Rolle and Knighton since before the season ended. If we get those two plus a pass rusher that would help our defense immensely

Ravens veteran outside linebacker Pernell McPhee is joining the Chicago Bears on a five-year contract worth nearly $40 million, according to league sources.

The deal includes nearly $16 million in guaranteed money, according to a source.

I really have zero interest in Antrel Rolle. Keep the focus on young players in FA, not old corpses who can't run anymore

Lions got Ngata from Baltimore. Replace a stud DT with another stud DT.

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.
