Chicago Bears??? anyone home???

[BUconnorD]

Is it me, or do all of the FA talks seem to never involve the bears???

just heard on SC that TJ Houschejmklajsdlfn...da just signed w/ the seahawks.

the bears didn't even make a play for him.

I feel like the Bears admin is just asleep at the wheel with all of these great players passing them by.

[Big Mike]

were too-busy trying to re-sign St Clair and Kevin Jones before somebody comes in and swoops-em-up

They do want to talk to Darren Sharper but he is visiting NO Saints first.....he would be a nice fir to replace Mike Brown!

I think that it is the Bears ownership being cheap. Sorry guys...

One reason that I am not a Bears fan.

I don't think they're cheap when it comes to players--- though maybe they are when it comes to coaches and front office people, because I do think they're pretty bad at trying to actually field a competitive team. Payroll is there, talent evaluation appears to be lacking.

Sounds like my beloved Cardinals....

what?

[Beninator]

Not a bad signing at all for the Bears. Always good for an NFL team to have a decent backup running back.

Petterson is one of those players who I think will never get it... He has a lot of natural ability though.... The Bears can always cut Jones the following year....

[Da Coach]

Receiver Torry Holt was just cut by the St. Louis Rams as they continue their salary purge. He joins pro-bowler Orlando Pace as a free agent.

I think Holt would be a good-move and affordable for a couple of years until the new draft pick WR (I hope angelo is smart enough to draft a #1 WR) gets acclimated to the NFL...TH would provide great leadership to the newbies(see below) and teach Hester a thing or two....Pace on the other hand might be injured (although he only gave up 2 ssacks lasst season!)

Holt avg 80 yds/ game in his career @ almost 12,000 yards....
