Free Agency Eve--Afternoon Bears News

PrintIt's nearly here. I'm giddly like a schoolgirl.
In 10 short hours, the NFL will be in the full throes of Free Agency frenzy, with organizations trying to get their guy, agents on multiple phones talking to multiple guys, and players anxiously sweating whether this unique offseason will be their big payday.
As always, it's a little quiet, the calm before the storm. Unless you know where to look. We're keeping our eye out for tidbits and nuggets just for you guys and gals, the most dedicated fans in the history of the world. So let's see what's going on in the beariverse as we come up on, arguably, the single most important Free Agency period for anyone involved on this staff.
Alex Brown weighs in on the Peppers situation:
Bears defensive end Alex Brown used the word "monster" Thursday to describe free-agent target Julius Peppers and said he'd be happy to change positions for him.
"He's probably as gifted as (Brian) Urlacher, just 30 pounds heavier," Brown told the "Waddle & Silvy Show" on WMVP-AM 1000. "He could help us. Who wouldn't he help?"
it's good to see he's taking it in stride. I think he realizes that the presence of a full-effort, healthy Peppers only increases his productivity.
Urlacher and Harris realize they're two big keys to this team's success:
"I think everybody pretty much understands ... I know that my job is on the line,'' Harris said as the Bears prepared for the start of free agency at 11:01 p.m. Thursday. "Everybody's job is on the line this year.
"We really don't have the choice of talking about what we're going to do and all that. We've just got to get it done or it's over. That's just how I feel for myself.''
Well said, sir. Now live up to those comments, and we'll talk.
Biggs makes mention of a possible Rolle landing with the Redskins, while Mike Sando of ESPN clarifies a little bit about Rolle's contract situation, exactly.
This article from stltoday.com explains a bit about what's going on with the possible low-ball offer to Atogwe, who's name has suddenly become much more popular based on this decision by the Rams.
If the Rams tendered him at the lowest level -- the fight of first refusal level -- the Rams could tender Atogwe at only $1,226,000, a savings of $5.75 million. League sources told the Post-Dispatch on Wednesday night that the Rams are considering tendering Atogwe at the $1,226,000 level.
The right of first refusal level is risky. It would give the Rams matching rights if Atogwe got an outside offer, but no draft pick compensation if they decided not to match. And Atogwe also could simply decide not to sign the tender, which would make him a free agent after June 1.
As it is right now, if they tender him at 3rd round or higher, they have to pay him 6.9 mil. So in summation, if someone offers him between 1.2 and 6.9, the Rams will likely just match it and retain him. If someone offers him more, the Rams will either pay more than they originally were trying to avoid, or they'll let him go with no compensation. Also, Atogwe could decide he doesn't like what the Rams are doing to him, and just not sign it. Then he'd be taking his chances and waiting until June 1st to be a free agent, also a risky decision. It's defintely an interesting situation going on there.
The Vikings have effectively named their tenders, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.
Here's a nice little video of Adam Schefter helping to explain tenders, in case Dane's links from last night weren't enough to whet your appetite.
And finally, I took this screen shot of Julius Peppers' wikipedia entry this morning. (It no longer looks like this.) Make sure to note the "Career History" column. (click to embiggenate)
If you see anything else pop up out there this afternoon--throw it in these here comments. We'll add it to the Free Agency extravaganza this evening!

I say we start betting on what time Peppers is signed.
My guess is 11:35 ct !!!!!!!!!!
"How sad, another victim of the Night Nurses from Jersey."
If I remember correctly,
Albert Haynesworth signed with the Redskins withing the first 10 minutes. But nope, there wasn’t any tampering there… no sir, not all all.
Man I remember that
I stayed up late on here and 10 minutes later it was first reported he had signed a deal. Although it still took a while for the news to become official. Now w/ Twitter it will get real interesting…

I can't even imagine how chaotic it will be with the Tweets.
It is such an important thing among the professional reporters to “break the news first”… Twitter will have the updates before any website will.
Am I the only one who thinks Twitter is idiotic?
If only because for things like this, it makes tampering/rule breaking SO much more obvious. Also, dumbass name.
At the very least

Nice work. Now I hope you know how to use that hatred and focus it to your advantage….wait, is this why you guys keep pushing following WCG on Twitter? It all makes sense now.
I'm with you too
I guess I understand the basis of revealing “breaking news” first, but it’s a bit rediculous cause half of what’s reported seems to be false.

Hey just a friendly tip Dane,
If you wanna stay on top of Twitter esp. tonight, I suggest downloading something like TweetDeck. it updates every minute, just like twitter.com but it’s easier to have than the website open in a different tab. It looks like AIM more.

I just glanced at Peppers’ wiki entry – the very last paragraph of the Professional Career section reads:
On January 16, 2009, ESPN reported that Peppers told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen he does not intend to re-sign a long-term deal and would like to explore options with another team, specifically one with a 3-4 defensive formation. He also expressed the desire or willingness to convert from a Defensive End to an Outside Linebacker. Peppers said he would request a trade if Franchise tagged. However, despite his request, the Panthers would place the Franchise tag on him on February 19.4. On February 22, 2010, Adam Schefter reported that the Panthers would not place the franchise tag on Peppers, leaving him an unrestricted free agent, free to pursue a contract with another team.5 Hes going to be with the bears soon. YAY.

Here is a link to what the Wikipedia page looked like earler this morning.
Note the colors of of the info box (orange and blue) as well as the team name. There have been numerous changes to the page today, most by overzealous fans I presume. It does make one wonder though if there isn’t something more behind it-

Well
I remember when bates was being mentioned as the possible next OC but then the carrol talk to seattle happened….
Someone had already put that bates had already chosen to go with carrol to seattle on his wiki page before any news broke on what was going to happen….Maybe someone made a lucky guess or something who knows….

Well
if they cant sign peppers I would hope they got kampman as a “second choice”….

- Jerry Angelo on how he prepares for the NFL draft
I don't think Kampman would get signed right away;
any team would need to do a serious medical on his knee before giving him a contract. They can’t even talk to him until tonight. Pepper’s will go quickly, and then everyone who wants Kamp will bring him in and have their doctors check him out first.
True
just so long as they look at him I would be happy….Dont think kyle would be much of an upgrade over what the Bears had last year….

Arizona just released Rolle

Rolle
doesn’t make our D-line rush the passer better. Conversely, Peppers or Kampman would shorten the time any FS would have to cover a WR.

If Lovie and JA weren't complete idiots
They would’ve drafted Rashad Johnson last year. Then we wouldn’t be having this conversation about FS.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
I bet
peppers is signed within the first few days…he is gonna try and get as much money as possible!! teams are gonna come at the last second and try beating another teams offer. but im hoping we sign him right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Peppers has already made up his mind...
It’s just a matter of who. New England, Chicago or Washington.
NE=best chance at a ring
WASH= will offer the most money
CHI= nice combo of the above, probably offer more than NE
Remember, Peppers is 34, will cost 14-15 mil a year (at least), and is an injury risk. I’m not sure you put all your eggs in that basket. I almost would prefer to see the money spread around.
I’m all for Peppers as long as they get one of the top safeties- Sharper, Rolle or Atogwe.
I believe Peppers just turned 30.
Which is a huge difference from 34 for a football player (unless you’re a kicker and they dont count).

Biggs on twitter
from his Bears source:
Everyone is a spectator right now, 9 hours from opening of free agency. One source I trust said: “I expect the #Bears to hit it big.”
Source added: “This is it. There is no draft. They have to come out w/ 4 or 5 players. The #Bears will not be outbid. It’s in their budget.”

Wow if we do get Boldin
And we get Peppers or Kampman and a saftey and we draft OL in 4th round i would call this offseason a big success
You sir are giving Angelo too much credit
if he can pull all of that off and still have money left over to pay draft picks … well, he’s a damn genius.
I’d be happy if we snagged Rolle, Kampman and upgraded at OL in the draft. I might be insane, but throwing all of our money at Peppers and leaving holes elsewhere is idiotic.
If Angelo pulls off the Peppers deal – I’d like to see him go after Chancellor in the draft. (this is assuming he will not be able to make a play for Rolle because Peppers will cost too much).

seahawks front runner for peppers
well according to jensen:
The Bears are expected to make a big push to sign defensive end Julius Peppers when free agency starts tonight at 11:01 p.m. CST. But their greatest challenge may be the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks aren’t afraid to spend money, and former Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, unlike some of his peers, obviously doesn’t have any cash flow issues.
Word is, Peppers may command a deal that averages about $14 million a year and includes guarantees of up to $40 million.
The McCaskey family has approved about $30 million for free agency, so the Bears would have to get creative to land Peppers or free up some more money.

Tommie Harris on the chopping block?
Heard it on NFLN… has anyone else heard this cause I hadn’t until today!
GO BEARS!!!!
Yes
from the suntimes via PFT:
Could Julius Peppers push Tommie Harris off the Bears roster?
Hayes credits two sources that say Harris is at serious risk of being released before a $5 million bonus is due in June. Signing a big-ticket defensive lineman like Peppers could make the team less likely to blow more money on Harris, who has struggled in recent years.

Hey
We can’t cut Wolfe, He has 5.5 YPC without one huge run that Bell had to mess up the numbers. He also had his carries early in the season when the o-line was horrendous.
I was waiting for you to say something.
I know that he has 5.5 ypc during the 09’ season but he also only had 22 total carries. GIve him 30 more carries and I guarantee that YPC will drop. He’s only had one 20+ yard run in each of his 3 seasons and in ‘09 his longest runs came when we played the Browns and Detroit. I don’t dislike Garrett but he’s expendable; I do like rooting for him though because he’s just a little shorter than I am.

I hate to say this but
I think the only way Peppers is going to be a Bear by tonight is if he really wants to play for the Bears. Seattle and Washington have boat loads of money to throw around and Virginia gave the ok for around $30 million for total free agency, or so that’s what I’ve heard. We’re the largest football market in the U.S. and we need to start spending like it and take advantage of this uncapped year or we can get used to mediocrity and 3rd in the division.

McClure and Mullin on CTL
- NFL source told McClure that the Bears are “the most desperate team” heading into free agency and thinks if thats the case the Bears will show people the money….
- McClure (and Kaplan) have heard that peppers has Chicago “high on his wishlist”. Kaplan even told a story on how a friend of his saw peppers the year he wanted out of carolina and asked him what he was doing in town. peppers replied “seeing if I can get the Bears to put in a trade for my services”
- Mullin thinks that it will take awhile for the big names to go since they will all try to drive their prices up. A day or a day and a half
- After peppers he had heard that the Bears are looking at leonard little and atgowe are high on the Bears list
- Mullin would be surprised if Olsen is traded but thinks that Bears would listen to offers (especially on draft day) since the Bears offense is moving away from the “receiving TE”

2 for price of 1... any thoughts!
I’d say 2 for the price of 1 instead of paying all the money to peppers.. go after kampman and Vanden Bosch.. bears would get more production out these two than just peppers
DL would look like this
kampman, idonoje, harris, vanden bosch
then maybe some money would be left over to sign Dunta from Houston.. and heck go after Rolle or Clark from Pitt.
that would be a sick defense
So a 3 rd for boldin
