Does Marvin Harrison Have an Offer in Chicago?

Is former Colts receiver, Marvin Harrison, really a possibility in Chicago? Do you really want Harrison? I sure don't, but this guy says that Harrison has an offer on the table.
According to an undisclosed source of mine, that encouragement from Tony Dungy may have worked on Coach Lovie Smith as the Bears have offered Marvin a contract to play for the Bears in 2009.
This line is the funniest of the article and could discredit everything else he says.
If in fact Harrison joins Chicago, his arrival should make the Bears' offense the best in the NFC North. His ability to stretch the field will allow for quarterback Jay Cutler to throw deep passes to him, as well as freeing up the middle for short throws to tight end Greg Olsen and dump-off passes to running back Matt Forte.
Hmmm. Not sure Harrison stretches the field anymore with those old, banged-up knees. What to think about this "RUMOR." Personally I'm hoping Rideau and Aromashodu both make the team. I'm not sure that would happen if Harrison was here.

The only receiver I want to see picked up is
Matt Jones.

Why?
Matt Jones has been unemployed this long for a REASON. He sucks and is terribly overrated. Unless the Bears are looking for a new cocaine dealer then Matt Jones has no viable role.
"Cubs will win 79 to 83 games." BLou (7/21/09)
Ignorance. Probably have never seen him play. Oh, “he sucks”.
I value the Colt opinion of quality over ours. They think Harrison has no quality left, why should we?
And now that he has no salary demands, he is not again, a Colt because? They are making room for the future. Why wouldn’t we?
There is not !!!
one proven WR receiver on this team, opinion only.
There are only three types of people; makers, takers, and fakers. Which one are you???
Look at who Indy has
He does have salary demands and he probably at least wants to be a #2, but they have Wayne, Gonzalez and Clark. They can move on.
The question is how much does he want and is he a better option than Hester and Bennett or whoever our #1 and 2 are.
Being Who You Thought We Were Since 2005!
Maybe we can try him at safety.
We seem to try it with everyone else.

Personally...
I hope it isn’t true. I get the whole “we need a proven receiver” thing, but I think Booker and Lloyd took repetitions from young receivers last year that could have paid dividends this year. As they say, nothing beats real-time game experience. We have some real promise in our young receiving corp. Also, we have proven receivers in Forte, Olsen, and Dez Clark. If Hester improved so much during the SECOND half of last year, that should prove the point. Marvelous Marv is just too old.
Getcha Beernuts Ready!
I agree with your opinion, but at one point in everyone’s career they are unproven. Have to give them a chance to prove themselves.
Harrison is old. Old is bad for WRs. I don’t want to seem desperate and hire a really old guy at a diagnosed “weak position” and expect him to be unbelievable. Who would do that?
Ok but ,
you are comparing to what we have . and he his still better then any Bear receiver. Old, new, used. Maybe the Bears can give him 4500 and turn him into a Hybrid. Funny only.
There are only three types of people; makers, takers, and fakers. Which one are you???
I think he would have great insight but I don’t think his body and legs would last the season. Plus he has played his whole career with one QB, would take a while to get into a rhythm with Jay. If you think at 37 he is better than every WR we have that is your opinion, but we don’t know how good our guys are, they could be great, we have yet to see. We know Harrison’s numbers and abilities have declined.
I don’t want Harrison to be our Brett Favre. Night games during the year would have to start 2 hours earlier so they could catch Matlock.
At least
Marvin would be on a division winner, Bear down. Have a good night .
There are only three types of people; makers, takers, and fakers. Which one are you???
Nein!
He’s short, and I’ve watched him the past couple of years. With the way his speed has dropped off he has no way to escape coverage. If he was a tall 6’4" receiver he might be worth another 2 years like TO cutting up the midfield..even he has lost a step, but he has the size to compensate. Harrison does not(A generous 6’) and would be a waste of the 6+ million a year he probably wants still.

Gonz is supposed to start this year but I disagree with that being why Harrison isn’t back. I think it is because they didn’t want to pay millions for old beat up legs. I have never seen a team not re-sign somebody because they had too many good players at that position. The more talented players the better, right?
Well Yes
But you hit the nail on the head with the ’Dead Legs" statement. The Colts knew Harrison probably was looking for his Golden Parachute and decided to send him out the plane without one. What we see now is he has virtually no intrest in him from any other team.
It was reported
That they split because of contract demands Harrison had. He wanted to be paid like he was the Harrison of old. I’m sure his declining play played a role in his releasing, but I got to think after what Harrison has done for the Colts they would want him to be able to retire with them.

Because
if we were going to pick up anyone in free agency, I’d prefer it to be a guy that we could keep for a long time. Matt Jones does not suck, he had a career year last season and would be broken 1000 receiving yards had he not had to sit out the last four games. He’s a giant target and former 1st round pick who with the right locker room around him I think could change his persona of not working hard enough. Cutler likes big targets and I’m all for getting him those targets. Maybe if we had Jones, Hester wouldn’t have to be the #1 receiver that some of us (including me) are skeptical of.

The coke thing has been way overblown.
It was just a joke.................I agree it has been overblown
I just know my boy Jake wants him real bad. So I give him the business sometimes. But I wouldnt be complaining if we picked him up trust me. A guy with good size and hands with some decent speed, sounds like a solid pick up to me. But hey lets not get carried away the Bears just started making smart moves about 5 months ago so they are new at this!! If they made another solid move I dont know if my brain could handle it!
Phil: " Whose baby is that?
Alan: "Check his collar or something." - The Hangover
Why
not take a look, maybe he could teach a few things. I really do not see it hurting the team.

It hurts the team...
by forcing them to cut young talent at the WR position to pick up old washed up talent.
I don’t see where everyone is getting the Harrison will be able to teach our WRs argument, from everything I heard about Harrison in Indy is that he sat off by himself and the only player that even remotely new him personaly was Peyton. What makes people think he will become a mentor for our WRs?
Here is how it hurts the team.
The Bears will likely only keep 5 WR on the roster because they need extra depth at CB this year. Who do you think they keep?
x Marvin Harrison
x Devin Hester
x Earl Bennet
Plus 2 more:
Rashied Davis
Juaquin Iglesias
Johnny Knox
Brandon Rideau
Devin Aromashodu
I personally want Rideau and Aromashodu. The Bears will do whatever they can not to cut Knox and Igleasias. That means that Rideau and Aromashodu will not have a very good chance of making the team. And let’s not forget how much they keep mentioning keeping Davis. We would sacrifice our future to get Harrison.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Actually, that is a sort of near-sighted comment....
One could argue that signing Harrison adds a proven pass-catcher to the WR corps. That would then free up the Bears to do what eveyrone wants them to do: cut Rashied Davis.
Going on the notion that the Bears want to keep 6 WR rather than 5, one could then argue that Iglesias and Knox could make the team with Aromashodu and Rideau battling for the last roster spot at WR. We would then add the other to the practice squad.
1. Harrison (Cutler is the first, and now the Bears have TWO gunslingers! …. too soon?)
2. Bennett (Vandy days aren’t so far removed afterall)
3. Hester (SLOT! YES! Right where he belongs!)
4. Iglesias (high draft pick, even if he was 3 feet tall, he makes the roster)
5. Aromashodu (Good size; good, not great speed)
6. Knox (Seemingly has special teams potential; read as fast)
Practice Squad: Brandon Rideau, Derek Kinder
by Homer-ism101 on Aug 25, 2009 7:34 PM CDT up reply actions
Trust me I'm not being short sighted on this.
Harrison doesn’t make Davis expendable. They are keeping him because of special teams. He is the best of all the WR’s playing all 4 phases. That is why he is likely to stay. That and he knows the system and could fill in at WR, but it is about special teams.
Short sighted means not looking ahead. I want to keep Knox and Iglesias while giving Aromashodu and Riddeau chances behind Bennet and Hester. That is looking to the future. I think the 4 I just mentioned are ready to play. While Knox and Iglesias need time.
I seriously doubt they keep six and the practice squad allows any team to pick up a player. That is why Mark Bradley went to Kansas City last year. The practice squad is not an option for a player you want to keep.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
You are also talking about Kinder and Brandon Rideau...
Rideau has been on and off practice squads his whole career so far. Aromashodu same thing.
By putting one of them on the practice squad, you really don’t risk much.
And please don’t talk to me (or anyone for that matter) like I don’t know what a practice squad is.
Of course a team could sign a guy from a practice squad. But the Bears have one of the worst sets of WRs in the entire league. Why would a team go after a WR on OUR PRACTICE SQUAD? Wouldn’t they go after a WR on Arizona’s practice squad And what does it say about the team that signs a WR that couldn’t make one of the Bears 5 or 6 WR spots?
Please, use some logic here. You talk as if people are waiting for the Bears to decide which WRs to keep so they can swoop in and grab our 7th WR on the depth chart…..
PUHHHH-LEEEEEEEEAZE!
by Homer-ism101 on Aug 25, 2009 7:54 PM CDT up reply actions
Chill out man. You're taking things way too seriously. I only made a point about the practice squad.
I never claimed you don’t know anything about it. But you had mentioned that as an option to place a guy. The Bears won’t put Igleasias or Knox on that squad because of fear of losing their picks. That leaves DA and Rideau.
As I already mentioned Mark Bradley got picked up from our practice squad. So did our FB Lukas Polite last season and played very well in Miami. DA is a big guy that is maturing this offseason. People do pay attention to other squads. Just because he doesn’t make our roster doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t see something they like in him. It happens all the time. Even if we do have a bad receiving corp. Maybe we evaluated the guys wrong or over valued a worse player, i.e. Rashied Davis.
Please relax man. It is ok if we disagree. It doesn’t have to be personal.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
I just read that. Read my comment below. I was wrong but my point is the same.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
I don't think the Bears had any intention of putting Bradley on the PS...
They flat out released him at a time when we had much better depth at the WR spot:
Marty Booker
Brandon Lloyd
Devin Hester
Earl Bennett
Rashied Davis
Mark Bradley was flat out released…
Bradley was released by the Bears on September 23, 2008 after the team signed cornerback Marcus Hamilton.
If the Bears wanted to keep him they would have. He never signed with the practice squad.

I think a lot of teams would like Knox. One of the fastest times at the combine. Has shown some potential on returns already.

Somehow I see him ending up in a Raider uniform
if he gets moved to the PS.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Rideau isn't eligble for PS
He has been in the league for 3 years. Not sure about DA’s status since he has been on so many different teams.
Aromashodu Number 5?
I don’t think this guy played for the Indianapolis franchise because he was slow. This guy is a gamer and I want to see a lot more of him. We will see his play time increased in their next game. I stake my reputation on that. And now I will welcome the preverbial cartoon thank you.
Poor Poor Rideau
Still cant find his way on the roster, for the sake of this discussion I hope you are wrong. Rideau has to be on this squad, made way too many plays in Camp, hes too big not to keep. Cutler likes throwin to the big guys. We need him for Red Zone plays if anything.
Phil: " Whose baby is that?

Here's what the Bears PR Machine...
had to say about this:
Now that the Indianapolis Colts released Marvin Harrison, would the Bears be interested in signing him? I think he could be a great mentor for Devin Hester and the rest of the receivers.
Todd R.
Ohio
I don’t see the Bears trying to sign Marvin Harrison. I don’t want to take anything away from the former Colts star because he’s had a Hall of Fame career. But Harrison, who will turn 37 in August, clearly has lost a step. He didn’t appear to be the same player this past year, averaging a career-low 10.6 yards per reception while battling a knee injury. There are also character concerns related to a shooting last year in Philadelphia that involved a gun owned by Harrison. He was never charged for the incident, but given what occurred with Tank Johnson, I think that’s another reason why Harrison wouldn’t be a good fit for the Bears.
HOWEVER, that was back in February of this year; well before we traded for Jay Cutler. I wonder what Larry Mayer thinks now? Someone buy Larry some new chalk…. this question is still relevant.
That was honestly way too long ago.
Tony Dungy is promoting Harrison and the article alleges that Lovie may have listened to his opinion.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Tony Dungy also took a shot at Cutler
so F Tony Dungy
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Yeah!!!!
The truth is, it all comes down to one thing; do you think Harrison “still has it” and is “it” an upgrade over what we now have? To this point, at least 31 other teams have said that he isn’t an upgrade or he isn’t an affordable upgrade. Since the draft, several teams have been documented as needing help at receiver. Some have brought in the consensus “second tier” receivers and a few have been signed. I can’t remember anyone bringing in Harrison OR Matt Jones. Hmmmmmmmm.
Getcha Beernuts Ready!
character concerns!???
Give Harrison the benefit of the doubt, Since being drafted in the NFL, Harrison has been a model citizen. Reports are always trying to label a guy. In this case, with Harrison’s history, you would have to give him the benefit of doubt.
Model Citizen?
I’m not to sure about that statement. His gun was used in the commission of a crime. It just came down to ‘who done it’ ? and they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him. In my opinion he had a good lawyer.
Too many new guys already
Bringing in a veteran at this point isn’t smart, IMHO. The offense needs time to jell not more new blood.

Knox won’t make the cut. If the Bears do indeed pick up a veteran then I bet the ranch they concoct some sort of phantom injury for Iglesias so they can bury him on IR for the season.
"Cubs will win 79 to 83 games." BLou (7/21/09)
We're going to need some of that 20 million to sign Cutler long term.
It makes no sense bringing in anyone at this point. If they were serious about Harrison they could/should have signed him before training camp. If he comes in now he’ll need time to learn our playbook. This is the NFL. It’s not like you can just line him up and tell him to run deep. Look what happened last year with Dallas bringing in Roy Williams. Good receiver, but largely ineffective because he didn’t know the offense.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Yeah, but I see value in a guy who can....
teach our young WRs how to play the position… surely that counts for something?

I agree but the timing makes no sense.
Its too late to be messing around with the roster, team chemistry, and continuity. That said they’ll probably pull the trigger and it will haunt us for weeks as Harrison slowly becomes effective on offense and at the expense of our young talent.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I think we will be fine with who we have now.
Harrison undoubtedly would make us a better team, but honestly I think we will be great with our young talent at the position already. Either way and I will be happy.

DA IS A LOCK. DEVELOP YOUR PLAYERS AND FORGET HARRISON.
Forget what you have heard. DA will make the roster. Cutler has been lobbying for this guy the entire camp. DA has dazed fans and coaches with his “go get it” type catches in camp and in live action that you can’t ignore him any longer. Plus it helps a lot when your franchise QB is speaking up for you.
Harrison will be a good pickup, but only if the Bears plan to play games with the Roster. Rideau and Devin (A) are turning out to be good players, and when Harrison is hurt or can’t play, I would rather see these guys come in.
But, I would rather for the Bears to forget Harrison and start developing players for the future, something the Bears have been unable to do, especially on offensive, for such a long time. Developing player keeps a team competitive for years to come, just ask Colts & Pats. Payroll stay low and you are taking advantage of having a guy like Cutler to keep the team steady and coverup mistakes of rookies or undrafted free agents as JA tries them out.
Cutler’s play can quickly filter out position players such as WRs. Remember Justin Gage? The coaches didn’t know what they had with this guy because the QB play was terrible, but now he’s being productive with the Titans. So the Bears won’t have guys lingering around for year like Justin and Wade scratching their head wondering what type of contribution a prospect can bring to the team.

Jerry Angelo and the powers that be at Halas Hall Agree with you.
We feel good about our receivers. The only way players know that you believe in them is by playing them. You can’t say you like your players and then bring in veterans. Then you’re not putting teeth into what you’re saying. You’re saying one thing, yet you’re doing another. Players get it. They know what they have to do, and you have to hold them accountable. We drafted these players. We’ve paid these players. We have to do our due diligence as a club—talking about myself and the coaches—which we are more than willing to do and take on the task of bringing them along.
LINK Before I read this, I thought the bears might still sign at least some other team’s cast off, but he’s not mincing words here – I think we’re looking at our 2009 receiving corps right now in its entirety.

The Jest Of The Article Was
Marvin Harrison has lost his wheels since knee surgery a couple years ago. And yes, a Defensive tackle weighing 350 pounds could cover him 1 on 1.
Which WR we have is know for his route running skills?
Which WR has been know as a security blanket?
Which WR has found ways, time after time, to find the open spot on the field?
Harrison is a stop gap, one in which the Bears are in need of. I think Bennet and Hester are the future of the Recieving Corp but neither are ready to be a number one. I think Bennet becomes a number one in the future, specially with previously working with Cutler with Hester becoming a solid slot or two.
The sun will shine in '69
What Good Is Route Running?
If your covered like a blanket every play? He might be a security blanket. For any Defensive back in the league to have a good day.
You are correct..
If we are matched up in a man to man coverage Harrison will not be much good to anyone. Off the top of my head the teams that play man to man coverage are the Raiders, the Broncos, and two or three other teams. Most teams today play some type of Cover 2, Cover 3, or another Zone type coverage. Harrison has always been good at finding the open spot in the zones and sitting in there waiting for Peyton to hit him.
This is what Harrison would bring to the table. A reciever who will not stretch the field, will not be the deep threat, but will be an open man underneath that will get you 5-15 yards a catch. TJ “Who’syourmama” is that type fo reciever. Someone that will find the soft spots in the zones and get open.
We have burners on the outside, with Hester and Knox. We need a guy that can exploit the openings that those burners will create when they stretch the field. I don’t believe Bennet is that guy, yet. Harrison will allow Bennet to work the slot while Harrison will lined up agaisnt the other teams number one corner.
The sun will shine in '69
Knox will not play this year, and I think his point is that teams will switch their coverage to man to man against Harrison since he is easy to cover. That is what happened to Indy last year.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Which would out great for our team
Now you have the Number one corner matched up agaisnt either Hester or Harrison with the number two cover the other. That leave Olsen/Forte/Clark/Bennet match-up with a safety or a LB. This would be Cutler picking them apart all day.
Let’s say the team goes man to man agaisnt Harrison, with a Bracket on Hester (using a CB and Safety) and put the rest into a modified Cover 2 or some other type of zone, we Olsen and Forte able to flood the Bracket coverage area and Bennet droping under the man to man. Add to the fact that if they went to this type of coverage they would be taking a safety out the picture to stack the box, which allow Forte to have better running lanes.
If nothing else having Harrison will open up for other players. Is there another WR that currently on the roster that will do this?
The sun will shine in '69
I don't know that would happen.
To me man to man is better than zone, but harder to do well. If Harrison can be covered man to man, he becomes uneffective and it doesn’t make anything easier for anyone else.
I’d rather have Bennet opposite Hester who can get open and develop into a future #2 or #1, then Harrison who can’t get open and has a year of below average play left in him that hinders playing time and roster spots from players that could serve us well for 3-5 years or more.
Also we don’t go three wide that often. Probably a little more this season, but still it is more of a third down situation that we play that formation.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
You do have a valid point
I agree that we don’t go 3 wide often, but it might be used a bit more now (3 WR 1 TE 1RB). I hope that Bennet and Cutler rekindle the Vandy magic and things start to click, at which I point I will be the first person here saying that I was stupidly wanting Harrison. If Hester, with his speed, and Bennet with untapped potential come around to legitmate WR then the Bears will be one of the top teams for years to come.
The sun will shine in '69
You act as if we're using a tackling dummy at WR if we don't sign Harrison.
I’m not for/against his coming on board. But despite whether it happens or not, Bennett (or whomever) could actually be good. We just don’t know yet. Either way, teams will have to cover these guys no matter what. The difference between this year and last, is now we have a legitimate QB. One that will keep the chains moving, fit the ball into tight spots and has the ability to make receivers.
Nobody knows, at this point, if…
Hester/Bennett/(DA/Davis/Rideau/Iglesias) > Harrison(now)/Hester/Bennett

One other thing to note..
Harrison won’t come cheap either..He wouldn’t take a pay cut with the Colts to stay on, so he most likely wouldn’t take one to come here. In case you people forget..we have to sign Cutler sometime in the next year, and it’d be nice to have some space for next year to possibly pick up a better younger WR off the FA market.
by Pretender85 on Aug 26, 2009 12:57 PM CDT up reply actions
You are right about that
The “Catch 22” is closer to the start of the season, cheaper he becomes, but less effective because he doesn’t know the system but if we sign him now, he will come at a higher price but will know the system better. Either way he still will want #1 money, in which case if he keeps that dream, then enjoy cutting grass on Sunday Marvin because your value isn’t there.
The sun will shine in '69
I don't think that was what I was saying..
My comments were more to the point of Harrison improves the current recieving corp by allowing some of the pressure to be shift to him, enabling Bennet/Hester to more room to move. I believe Harrison would have the #1 CB covering him, which would have an effect for the other WR.
I believe the WR corp the Bears have now are good they just need a catalyst for them to gel together. It is my belief that Harrison may be that.
The sun will shine in '69
I think this catalyst you speak of....
…could very well be this next preseason game. It will either be a spectacular showing of passion and determination or a colossal disappointment and then talk of bringing Vets in will pick up.

He just might be.
Or maybe the catalyst is Hester… Or Bennett… Or (and my pick) the signing of Cutler.
And then there’s the possibility that it’s E.) none of the above. It’s possible that Harrison, in his current form, is less than the current crop of receivers on our roster. It’s also possible, not probable, that our offense doesn’t gel with any of these players. Personally, I’m just excited to see how this all plays out.

I Get What Your Saying
And the other receivers name is whosyourmama. I just like what we have. I like our young talent and agree with jerry Angelo that we are set at the position. I used to be a huge Harrison fan and drafted him every year in fantasy. He just not seem to be the same player anymore.
Harrison's Numbers Since Knee Surgery
1999: 1663 Yards 12 TD
2000: 1413 Yards 14 TD
2001: 1524 Yards 15 TD
2002:1722 Yards 11 TD
2003: 1272 Yards 10 TD
2004: 1113 Yards 15 TD
2005: 1146 Yards 12 TD
2006: 1366 Yards 12 TD
2007: (KNEE SURGERY) 247 Yards 1 TD
2008: 636 Yards 5 TD
It would seem the number indicate that Marvin Harrison does not get open very often since Knee surgery. Film of his play since hurting his knee show he has lost his speed. Let him sign with the Lions or something.

For one...
I think this is BS. Last week there was a report that the Titans offered him a contract. Jeff Fisher denied it adamantly.
Secondly, let me ask you guys this:
Would you rather be old and bad, or young and bad? Last year, we had Marty Booker. That was old and bad. We don’t need a repeat. Let Cutler develop our young guys. One or two of them might become a mainstay for years to come under that relationship.

Never mind
I saw on another site that he resigned wit the chargers.
You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
...is the answer to these questions.
Putting him on the practice squad gives him time to get in shape, learn the playbook, and it gives us time to see if he has anything left in the tank. No team will pick him up because they would have already. Win-Win.
Sign Matt Jones!

Good post #23
After reading the opinions – If I could change my vote, I would vote No and No instead of No and Yes.
I originally voted “No, but I’d take take him” because I’m a sucker for vets. I would like to believe Harrison would come to Chicago 100% healthy and provide mentorship to the inexperienced receivers. Sadly, I don’t think either is possible.
Harrison has lost a step (or more) and at his age (no matter how hard he works), he isn’t getting that step back.
And as for the mentoring, I don’t recall him EVER having a reputation of helping bring guys along. Admittedly, I watch WAY more football than I should. Not once have I seen or read an interview w/ Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez or Dallas Clark in which they spoke about Marvin Harrison taking them under his wing and helping them become better players. I guess you could call him a leader by example, but I prefer a “C.Carter and Moss” or “Muhammed and S.Smith” type situation, where those vets chose a more hands on approach to improving their teammates.
At this point, if the Bears wanted to add Matt Jones, I would be all for it… Jones is an ELITE talent and young. Other than him, I’m happy to see what Hester, Bennet, Rideau and D.A. can do (while bringing along Iglesias, Knox and Kinder).
People think I'm a Matt Jones hater.
It isn’t true. They never asked for my full opinion on him, they just assume they know which they don’t. I don’t think Matt Jones has done anything special in the league thus far. I’m not convinced he can be special, but that being said, I agree with you it makes more since to go young and questionable then old and questionable. I’d take Jones over Harrision. Devin, Bennet, Davis, and Rideau have had Moose and Booker to mentor the last few years. These guys need plays now. I’m not sure Jones is elite though. Maybe he is, but I’m not convinced yet. Elite is sitting at home right now. Someone had to catch the balls in Jacksonville. Same with Derick Mason in Baltimore. I wouldn’t call the guy elite, but someone has to catch some balls.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
I'd even take Reggie Williams

.
Same with Chicago
Last year “somehone had to catch balls” on CHI and our rookie RB and TE were it. But Jones still put up better numbers than anyone on our team in 3/4 of a season. So on teams were “someone had to catch balls” Jones looked really good, I think that would translate well to Chicago. I kid myself though because it is not going to happen unless we have some injuries.
Good point. He was better than all their other bad receivers which says something.
I don’t see Matt Jones coming here honestly. Chicago isn’t going to take a risky guy unless they are super talented like Brandon Marshall. Why take a risk on a guy that isn’t a for sure thing and that could make you look bad down the road if he screws up. JA is taking more risks than in the past, but I think this one is out of reach. Jones won’t be in Chicago without injuries like you mentioned.
I really like who we have. Honestly as of today, I don’t like Iglesias or Knox, but they do have potential next year to be better. DA and Rideau offer talent that is ready to play on Sundays. But, I don’t want to waste our two picks from this year either.
So the conundrum is where to you sacrifice. I’d like to see us keep six guys Bennet, Hester, DA, Rideau, Iglesias, and Knox. That means cutting Davis, but I don’t see the Bears doing that. I think a giving those six a shot would produce 2-3 quality recievers, maybe even one very good one, but I’d like to see them all get a shot. Too bad Iglesias and Knox aren’t more valuable to special teams. More return men aren’t needed right now. :(
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Iglesias
Iglesias sort of angers me in the fact that it always doesn’t look like he is trying. And not in the way where “he makes it look easy”.
Although he may just not show emotion of excitement like Lovie. Personally, I think Rideau and DA want it more. They’ve been around the block a few times and will give 110% if they make the roster. Igelsias and Knox can only give as much as they know, and I just think they don’t know that much yet.
If you had to put one guy on the practice squad and risk losing and your choices were Iglesias or Knox who whould you choose?
I would choose to keep Knox and risk Iglesias. Wow, that would be bad for a 3rd rounder.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Conundrum
Knox gives us the thrilling speed package for the 2:00 and late 4th Qtr drives and great Hester like returns on ST. Iglesias gives us what? another Rideau, DA, Bennet? Heres to hoping that by Mid season we arent wishing for a Mulligan for the roster decisions.

I have to say the idea of Marvin being on the line was a good thought for a while. However, after watching the Bears vs Giants on Saturday night I was totally genuinely surprised by Aromashadu…. he sprawled out for two big catches… seems like he has game.
They can’t afford not to have Knox on there roster. I think Rideau will be the odd man out.

can someone tell me why
so many people want matt jones.? I spent 3 years in j ville even their fans didn’t like him. One of my best friends down there was all about him. and a die hard jag fan. And he was happy as hell they didn’t resign him. i went with him to alot of games its sad i’ve been to more jags games than bears games. But at 8$ military fee to get in who wouldn’t go.(still mad when the bears faced them it was in chi town). But in going to those games i seen him miss alot of open passes. He would not help our team in the least. I would much rather see marvin line up instead of him. smudge, sackman, windy. Can you answer my ?
You have to remember, his first few years in the league he was learning the WR position. See how many bonehead moves Hester has made his first few years? Remember when Devin Hester flat out just did not block on running plays? We are giving him time to learn the position and develop. In Jones 3rd or 4th year, after he had experience at the position, he put up great numbers and was on pace for 80+ receptions and over 1000 yards.
That and at 6'6" he literally stands Head and Shoulders above our other WRs
"We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!" by Manimal on Aug 20, 2009 12:05 PM EDT @ Daily Norseman after acquiring a geriatric QB
and hester out runs about
every WR in the league. I’m not sold on him being a #1 but I would much rather have him instead of Jones.
Agree to disagree. Jones has great speed (not quite Hester but 4.37 out of college) but also has height (Hester does not). Jones also developed an instinct for jump balls. And we know what Jay Cutler thinks about Devin and jump balls.
I am excited to see what Hester can do with such a productive off season.
but the the problems jones has
they wouldn’t deal with bensons drinking problems they will not deal with jones’s drug problem so eveyone should get the idea of him coming out of their head. its not happening. And if it does I’ll buy you a jones jersey.
I know it is not happening but if it does, I am taking you up on the jersey offer. If it was going to happen, it would have been during OTAs or prior to training camp, not now.
I don’t think it is the drug issue that is stopping the Bears from pursuing, I think it is the belief in their guys. I’ve never met JA, but he seems pretty stubborn and insistent his picks will suceed (which may be why DA and Rideau get screwed out of a spot).
I also don’t think he has a horrible drug problem, at least not anything worse than a large population in the NFL. DISCLAIMER: I said think, this is not a fact.
i hope
that DA and Rideau don’t get screwed out of a spot. They are big targets that we need. Plus they are playing with passion to get that big contract. He got busted I believe at least twice.
As do I
Look I’m not pounding the armrest and yelling at the TV to sign Jones. I just know that Jay likes big targets and Jones would be a big target. I’d be content going into the regular season with Hester, Bennet, DA and Rideau.
The entire Jones argument is based on the Bears signing another receiver. I’d just prefer the possibility of Jones’ potential over Harrisons age and health.
"We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!" by Manimal on Aug 20, 2009 12:05 PM EDT @ Daily Norseman after acquiring a geriatric QB
So many fans want DA and Rideau over Davis, Iglesia, and Knox. Going to be interesting how it turns out. I am also fine with not signing Jones as long as at least DA or Rideau make it. Unfortunate for us, we do not get to make any decisions of who makes the team.
agree
100 percent. but as long as DA and rideau make it i’ll be happy. everyone else eh.
Judging from the congregation (here) and who is eligible for the practice squad and who isn’t, I feel like we are looking at 1 or the other, not both. What do we all know though? We can only guess
we know they both
know the offense better than the rookies. well at least rideau does. I dont know when we picked up DA
I didnt mean to throw Iggy and Knox out with the bath water.
as I mentioned else where Knox and Hester could be thrilling in certain scenarios.
"We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!" by Manimal on Aug 20, 2009 12:05 PM EDT @ Daily Norseman after acquiring a geriatric QB
He got busted with coke. I think drugs and adultry run rampant in all professional sports. He just got caught. He also got in trouble for violating his parol for having a beer on a golf course with his buddies. Tough luck and a few stupid decisions; doesn’t make him a druggie though.
true just saying
I would rather have marvin for development of our young WRs. With someone who has been there and broke records I think they would listen more to him instead of coaches. But that is just what i think. I really dont see us signing anyone though
Why are we always needing Vet WR's to mentor our young WRs
Maybe we should be looking at the WR coach

yeah I didn't like that statement at all
But I believe he tried to help get us to the top. which he did. just not the peak.
well if.
They sign him. my email is njddgd@yahoo.com so on that day just send me your address. And you’ll have a jersey soon as i can find one online.
I think Jones is #18. You cannot give me an Orton jersey and stitch Jones name on the back. I despise all things Kayle Orton.
why i like orton.
But starting to like cutler alot better. tell you what if they by some chance sign him. I’ll buy you any bear jersey. stiched and all.
Whoa there was no mention of him being a #1
If that was part of your argument, I agree to have Hester at the #1 but with Jones also on the field I’d love to see the fits DC’s would be having.

I believe hester can be
Jones not so much. Sorry I seen him miss to many passes. easy passes at that. And we have Olsen as a big target. But can someone tell me why saturday Olsen was getting the screen pass and hester was blocking. I think it would work better the other way. But anyways just like everyone has been seeing davis drop passes, I seen the same in jones.
I concede to your insight...
I dont have the luxury of having seen his play making ability or lack there of on any kind of regular basis. I think you can chalk up the screens to Olsen as just preseason testing grounds.
"We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!" by Manimal on Aug 20, 2009 12:05 PM EDT @ Daily Norseman after acquiring a geriatric QB
Well the screen
I hope it is ran the other way in the regular season.
He dropped 5 passes last year
in 12 games. That’s barely even 1 drop every two games so I don’t see drops being much of an issue.
The fact remains that he is: a) tall, b) very fast and c) talented. Last year he most likely would have topped 80 catches and 1000 yards had he played all 16 games, and that was with David freakin Garrard throwing him the ball! Give me Jones and Hester on the outside with Bennett working the slot and Olsen and Forte as the check down options and Cutler’s cannon spreading the ball around and I would be a very happy man.

David Gerrard is no Joke. He doesn't get teh respect he derserves.
The guy has no receivers and throws an accurate, mistake free game. He is the pinnacle of what we were hoping Orton could be but wasn’t.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
True he's a very good game manager...
Accurate and able to minimize his turnovers and mistakes. However, he’s not likely to put up very big numbers and his receivers suffer because of it. You can probably put him down for about 200 yards and a TD pass every game and therefore he doesn’t offer the type of offensive potential that Cutler does, and for that reason I could see Jones thriving and excelling in the Bears offense.

Maybe, but honestly, I don't think JA wants Matt Jones.
This is really futile unless he is really being considered.
I think we already have a guy in DA that can be a big target. Rideau is decent as well, and of course Olsen has the speed, size, hands, and is a model player. I think we have what Jones brings already, the question is, will we dump those guys to keep the rookies or make room for everyone by dumping Davis.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
“However, he’s not likely to put up very big numbers and his receivers suffer because of it.”
I think it’s the exact opposite. He could put up big numbers, but his receivers aren’t good enough for him to do so.

Hester | Bennett | D.A. | Rideau | Iglesias | Knox (I guess) with Kinder on the PUP list or the Practice Squad
I’ve stated before that I just don’t know anymore and I’m turning my faith that the management’s gonna make the right decisions that help our team. To be completely honest, I’m fine with Davis if he makes the makes the roster, even though I may not be his biggest supporter. I’m not naive to think that Cutler can come in and turn Chicago into Arizona, but I do firmly believe in the quarterback helps make the receivers.

You know they both are sweating letting Ron rivera go. they had to do something. Its just what i think right or wrong.
If there is turnover, I would like to see Lovie stay, JA go, Turner go, and Babich go. Lovie is pretty well respected and I think a good glue to the organization. JA is too conservative for me, Turner has killed me the last few years with the most predictable offense in the NFL, and Babich, well there is a reason Babich isn’t calling D plays anymore.
And if Marinelli craps a golden egg with the line
move him to DC and …..hmmmmmm what to do with Toub…….you know other teams will be drolling over the prospect of getting their hands on him.

A friend of mine...
Who is close to Alex Brown, said that the Bears have offered a contract, they are just waiting on Harrison to say yes or no.
So i believe this “rumor”.
"I love this world. I hope hell is as much fun!"
A friend of mine who is married to the second cousin of the person that mows the lawn for the guy that serves Lance Louis his coffee said there is no truth to this rumor.
Why would the Bears be waiting for Harrison? Is he trying to get out of training camp like some other old timers? Doesn’t make sense, if we offered it and he didn’t accept it we would take it back so we didn’t look stupid like some other teams. Plus stories are that he is dying to get back on the field, why would he be waiting? Money again? Then I really don’t want him.
Damn you beat me to it

The guy that wrote this article is a freshman in college that wants to major in journalism. I’ll put in a good word for him with the local tabloid
yeah well I was stationed with berrians brother.
Which is as fast as him but doesn’t like the contact of football. Not trying to one up mister gardener guy. just saying.
No, the guy that wrote that article
is the former HC of the Colts and Bucs. He’s just got a fake screen name.

Lately I’ve been finding the conversations trolly. And frankly, not worth the time to comment…
I get my kids set up in the mornings- juice, milk, cereal, etc… After that I’m all excited about jumping on WCG and yappin’… Then I start reading the posts and threads consequently running into garbage… Example: two lines down… It just lets all the air out of my balloon (for yappin’). So I log off and seldom come back for the rest of the day… You’re still the man though!

Please. This is the reject you were sticking up for this week. Please take him under your wing. Instruct him that every word in the subject line does not need to be capitalized. Buy him a slinkie and tell him to stop asking to get made fun of.
Perhaps you should re read the thread sir
My point was to attack the argument not the person
"We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!" by Manimal on Aug 20, 2009 12:05 PM EDT @ Daily Norseman after acquiring a geriatric QB
Attacking the person makes the attacker irrelevant and subject to ignoring

I understand that. But do you see why it is desirable to “attack” him? For the record, and I want this recorded, Gesiakob is starting the “attacking” of the “person” and not the “post” today.

And I try not to chime in. I get a chuckle sometimes from reading them though (& not just the ones vs. Gesia). Once in a while I can’t help but to stand up for someone when I feel it’s deserved.

I'm With You 100% Smudgers
If we can go 24 hours without Brands725 not insulting me then life is good. I can’t believe anybody is buying into the theory I’m picking on her. A little payback for weeks of abuse and she cries foul. I’m done if she’s done.
Seriously Gesia,
You bring all attacks on yourself. And now you are calling me a “she” to prolong this? I am not the only person that gave you grief over your “silly” posts. The difference is, you can talk whatever smack you want on here and I won’t freak out and take it personally. This is the internet. But don’t dish it if you can’t take it. And don’t try to dish it because you are unsuccessful at it and look what this comment section turned in to now.
Just for the record, and to also be noted and recorded in the files: saying you want to “go 24 hours without Brands735 not insulting” you “then life is good” means you want Brands725 (whoever that is) to insult you. KIDDING. I know what you are trying to say.
Well I Appologize
I thought you were a female and was mistaken. It was not intentional to call you a She.
I highly doubt they leaked that information to AB, or any other player.
If they do, in fact, have a contract offer withstanding.

Marvin Harrison just resigned with the Colts.
He intends to sign/retire with the Colts and it’s being reported as we speak so let’s discontinue all rumors.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Well....
Its about as valid as this post was to begin with. AND I heard from a insider buddy of mine that……
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Hey now! I never claimed validity, but I hadn't heard anyone else saying Harrison was this close to coming here and thought some would like to know it may be in the works.
That is why I threw the poll in there and left it open that this was completely a rumor. 300+ comments cannot lie. At least that is was my sister’s friend’s step dad who is a reliable source possibly was alluding to.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Kudos To You #23
I agree you left it open to interpretation.and never stated it as fact. So 300+ hits in like 70 hours is pretty amazing.
You are almost as rediculous as...
