Bears' Bush showing unexpected skills as receiver

One of the early positive elements of the Chicago Bears' workouts, perhaps even an epiphany of sorts to some coaches, has been the performance of tailback Michael Bush as a receiver. The four-year veteran, signed from Oakland as an unrestricted free agent and presumptive backup to franchise tailback Matt Forte, has caught the ball well. There were some concerns as the Bears...

Bears’ Michael Bush understands he’s a backup

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, free agent acquisition Michael Bush communicated that he understood he was a backup in Chicago to Matt Forte and that his job is just to play when Forte is tired, hurt, or unavailable. This is noteworthy because Forte, who has yet to get a long term deal, felt highly respected when the Bears signed Bush, who started in Oakland last year in...

Jay Cutler to get a long term deal from Bears before Matt Forte?

According to the Chicago Tribune, Jay Cutler could be getting a long term deal from the Bears before Matt Forte. Cutler is due 16.17 million over the final 2 years of his deal, while Matt Forte has yet to sign his 7.7 million dollar franchise tender in hopes of a long term deal. These are the first real rumblings of a Cutler extension and an extension would likely not sit well with...

But Bears fans were optimistic that Knox might be ready to go by the time the 2012 NFL season kicked off. If his appearance in organized team activities this morning were any indication, that just might be a pipe dream as he seems...

Jay Cutler could get a new contract before Matt Forte

Getty Images David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune indicated that he wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler ends up getting a contract extension before running back Matt Forte and I can’t argue with him. I don’t even expect the Bears to re-sign Forte,  I think they’re dumb enough to let him walk in free agency after this season.  They...

Bears to use the tight end more in 2012

With Mike Martz as their offensive coordinator, the Bears did not use the tight end much in their offense. Martz has never figured out how to incorporate tight ends into his very specific offense, struggling to do so with both Vernon Davis and Greg Olsen. The Bears traded Greg Olsen last season because he didn’t fit with what Martz was trying to do and basically gave up on the...

Johnny Knox is taking the right approach in his rehab

When Johnny Knox went down in the game against Seattle with a back-bending hit that still makes my skin crawl every time it's mentioned, it took away one of the better receiving options on the team for the rest of the season and, at the time, put his career in jeopardy. Since then, his outlook has changed, but as Sam reported earlier today, it's entirely possible Knox doesn...

Those wishes were answered - the Bears signed defensive tackle Nate Collins to a one year deal. Collins is a former undrafted free agent picked up by the New York Giants originally and played in 13 games with...

Should the Bears sign Plaxico Burress?

The Chicago Bears have made some tremendous upgrades at the WR position this offseason with the additions of Brandon Marshall and rookie Alshon Jefferey.  When combined with returning receivers Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox and Devin Hester the Bears have a formidable receiving corps that should allow them to keep pace in the pass happy NFC North.   But
