I would like to start out by thanking the...

Bears Work Out Kent State QB Julian Edelman
Despite the trade to bring in Jay Cutler, the Bears continue to look at young Qb’s, as Monday the team did bring in Julian Edelman from Kent State. Even though he’s a QB, he can also run the wildcat, so the Bears may look at him in doing other things than just throwing. [...]
Where Do the Bears Need To Look for a Receiver?
The Bears have answered some of their needs this offseason, most noticeably making improvements on the offensive line and quarterback . They have also added some depth to the safety position, which obviously still needs to be addressed, but should keep them from searching for starters...
Very Sneaky
I have to admit that I was duped for a moment when everything went down. The combination of the Cutler and Pace signing was a shock that stunned me.
With everyone rushing to get on the bandwagon, it was a frantic haze with kool-aid cups left everywhere. A lot of people quickly ran...

The Pace Is Set
Chicagobears.com reports that the Bears have signed Orlando Pace for a three year contract. The seven time pro bowler will likely start at left tackle. This would move second year rookie Williams to right tackle with Kevin Schaffer backing both players.
The Defining Moment
It’s been said that the Bears are a cheap team that doesn’t take risks. That Jerry Angelo was phoning in an attempt to actually improve the team. Personally I thought he would play it safe and pick up a few players to make enough of an improvement to at best reach the...
As a Fan
I was just starting to have hope for this season. The Bears had made a few additions and were likely to make more. I thought that even if they reached on a WR, I was looking forward to seeing the offense develop with the new and improved OL and any WR that they added.
Then [...]
Bears TE Olson Talks About the Cutler Trade
I got a text message from a radio station in California yesterday. The producer wanted to know if I would come on the air to talk about Jay Cutler. I texted him back, saying that no, I didn’t want to talk about all the speculation as to where he would end up.
He said it’s not [...]
Just Say No to Plaxico and Add Holt Now
The Bears have now gotten the QB they will build with. So now would be a great time to make a another move to set themselves up for success in the draft.
I know that Angelo has said that they released Booker and Lloyd to give Bennett the opportunity to succeed without anyone in front of [...]
Don’t Start the Parade Just Yet
Denverpost.com reports that, “Jay Cutler, the Broncos’ star quarterback, is all but gone. Frustrated at what he perceives as Cutler’s unwillingness to communicate, Bowlen announced Tuesday that he has given his front office permission to begin the process of working...
Not the Pace the Bears Should Set
The Bears have been making moves this off-season to be in a place where they will draft the best player available, instead of being cemented to a position. With Orlando Pace visiting Halas Hall, it looks like Jerry Angelo may solidify OT without using a high draft pick.
Orlando Pace...

You Wanted to See a Cutler VS Orton QB Competition - Right?
If you wanted it, you got it. Jay Cutler and Kyle Orton will be in a competition that could show if Cutler warrants the attention that he has drawn in the last few weeks. That’s because he will be playing the Bears in the preseason on Aug 30th. As an added bonus, the game will [...]
Say It Ain’t So Lovie
You don’t have to be Nostradamus to know that Michael Vick would be a hot topic once he was finished with his jail time. What I didn’t foresee was what I read Lovie Smith say on Pro Football Talk. “I would look at Michael like I look at every other prospect that...

A Few Other Receivers to Consider
While looking up WR recently, I thought that I should also look into the big bodied type receivers. Ideally it would be my preference to see the player have both size and speed, but if they don’t have speed at least be tall right? This draft doesn’t have the big guy with...
Hypothetical Time
Since we are now less than a month from the draft. I thought I could give an overview of the different positions that the Bears need, and what they could be selecting for that position. So I figured out how to work the Google machine (from Blades of Glory), and did my personal evaluations...
