The Bears Den - 3/2/09

by Adam T on Mar 2, 2009 7:41 AM CST

Mega small Bears Den today, not much going on in the way of anything.

In the Den

If there was anybody out there, who actually thought the Bears had a chance or would be willing to go after Denver's Jay Cutler? Here are some more reasons why it won't ever happen.

At least one person is jealous of Kansas City and their acquisition of Matt Cassel.

Scout.com has their mock draft up. Head over to see who they have the Bears picking.

In the Vicinity of the Den

Nothing better to do on a slow Monday than a little "Packers Suck" pic.

Slow Morning

As I suspected they would the Rams are shopping Tory Holt for cap reasons. Do you suppose this is what JA was waiting on.

Cassel

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m jealous of the Cassel Vrabel trade for a 2nd rnd pick. We could of used both!!

Todd Boeckman = this years sleeper QB!!!

Cutler speculation: -1. Shame on all of us for giving this the time of day.

Cassell trade: +10 to the Pats. They knew when they franchised Cassell that they weren’t keeping him. They were just assuring themselves that they would get more than he is actually worth.

Mock draft: -1 for not popping in a new window.

Packers suck pic: +100. NIce work boss. :)

Things will get better as they improve...

Just heard on the radio that TJ has left Minny without a contract and is on his way to L.A. They said it was basically a 2 team race between Vikes and Seahawks but that now the Bengals upped their offer. Seahawks offering more money but Cincy is offering more years.

If he's not coming here

I don’t care anymore. As long as he stays away from Minny.

If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

Yeah

I meant to put that on my post that I hope he stays away from Minny.

Please make sure to head over the Vikes blog if...

Housh signs somewhere besides Minny. That clown was clearly baiting on “free-agency updates blog.”

In regards to the mock draft, I sure hope Maclin falls to the Bears. I doubt he will, but you can never say never!

Can’t go wrong with skinny girls ripping on the cheese. I’d like to think they’ve done that for every other team in the NFL (potentially less effort involved for the girl on the right).

Peter King's

monday mornign qb article on SI.com was a great read about the Cassel trade and about the drama players/agents go through during early free agent. I can’t recommend reading it highly enough.

Second, I guess I could tolerate Torry holt coming in for a late pick since he’s got one year left on his deal, is very professional, and is one of the best route runners/students of the game ever at the WR position. I don’t think he’s got a lot of productivity left, but combine him with Earl Bennet and a 1st or 2nd round pick and I think that would be a solid way to address the position. He could be sort of a coach on the field for all our young WRs.

DEJESUS!!!

I listened to a Dan patrick piece With Jay Cutler Before he got Drafted

He’s a hardcore Bears Fan. Just a little nugget of info.

Jerry Angelo was telling the truth...he isn't a player in free agency

This free agency class generally sucks. Still, this is disappointing. There is no possibly chance the Bears are able to address all their screaming needs in the draft, especially when you layer on top the fact that first year players usually contribute marginally. Matt Forte is the exception to the rule.

We need two wide receivers, a safety, a defensive end and depth for an offensive line that includes an unproven Williams at left tackle, a castoff of Carolina at right tackle and the less than wondrous Garza at right guard. Oh, and something more appealing in the longer term than Kyle Friggin Orton at quarterback.

Ugh.

Was it ever not known?

He came from Tampa, known as a hard core draft guy. We should never had expected him to be a big time player in FA. It would be nice that he wasn’t a bargain shopper, he never has been.

While in Tampa... they built much of their offense through FA, and the defense via the draft

Just like the Bears have been doing.

"You win because of the quarterback. We have to get that position stabilized. We're fixated on that.

We know it's the most valuable position on the football team. We've gone through so many scenarios at that position we can write a book, moreso on what not do."
