Chicago Bears Free Agency Bonanza: Press Conference/ Overflow Thread

Winter sets in, snow and rain commence, and people start getting restless. Add to that a disappointing 2009 season fresh in our minds, and the knowledge that the Bears are typically quite silent during Free Agency, and things were getting downright ugly for fans of this team. Then, movement happens.
First, we sign Brandon Manumaleuna, a solid blocking TE who will provide an instant upgrade to our offensive line.
Next up, Chester Taylor is inked. Quite probably the best back-up RB in the NFL, and a player who would be many teams' #1 guy, we have no solidified our running game, and added another weapon for Mike Martz's offense.
And in what will probably be the biggest FA signing of any team this year, we add Julius Peppers, one of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL.
Will there be more? Why not... with limited draft options, and plenty of money to spend, who is to say Jerry Angelo is finished?
There will be a press conference at 5pm CT, and you can stream it live from the team's official website.
Until then, stock up on your food and beverages, strap in tight, and keep your eyes and ears open. This ride ain't over yet!

So how much is left in the 25 million to spend on a FS?
If we can get Atogwe, Rolle or Clark this would be an amazing FA.
Depends on what Manu's contract looks like....6-7 ,million i think
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
Why exactly was his contract so rich?
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
So are we still in the Rolle sweepstakes?
or are the bears going after someone else? Everybody knew about us wanting Peppers, Taylor and Manu but there’s no word on who we are looking at for a free safety
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
I know we knew the Bears were wanting these guys
but to actually see it done kinda freaks me out. So i don’t know what to expect with FS.

I know right...
But what im wondering is why dont any of the experts who were reporting have no idea who we are going after at safety….Could it be we’re gonna make an offer to Otogwe and dont want other teams to know about it or what?
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
That would be awesome
Before today i wouldn’t believe they could pull off something secretive like that, but heres hoping thats the case.
I have no clue though, all i have heard about is Rolle. Maybe he is the ‘4’ in 3 out of 4? And there is no backup plan there? JA cant be perfect.
by GtM on Mar 5, 2010 4:23 PM CST up reply actions
They have to have a back up plan
Safety is the position Lovie and Co kept harping on…They have gotta have somebody in mind and are being ultra secretive about it….Hope it pans out…we have gotta get a safety, A very Good safety
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
While Sharper is an
upgrade over anything we have currently in the position. I would prefer Atogwe, Rolle, or Clark to Sharper just because of the age advantage.
If the Bears end up getting draft picks in the second round where they would be able to address FS and O-line through the draft, then Sharper would be a great signing for a two year deal. As long as we draft his replacement with the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.
Doubt it
The Bears showed interest, but he’s got an offer from the Dolphins and he’s visiting the Giants. I don’t think we have enough money left to win that bidding war.
Brad Miller is god.
Maybe if Clark or Rolle or Atogwe
are interested in winning, they will be swayed for a tad bit less money up front right now, seeing how we’re shaping up, plus we do still have some draft picks
"If I were a food critic being asked to write about the meal and experience at Waffle House, I would provide a drawing of two happy fat people giving each other a high five."
I would feel much better getting a safety who has a body of work in the NFL
unless his name was Eric Berry or Taylor Mays and that’s not gonna happen, so we better get a safety or we might hafta look at our current safeties being out of position time after time like they were this year
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
Boldin
SI.com’s Peter King reports that the Ravens are “close” to finalizing a trade for Anquan Boldin.
Kansas City — Baltimore’s main rival in the Boldin sweepstakes- is working with more second-day (secondand third-round) picks, but also has way more holes to fill. The Ravens were always Boldin’s most likely landing spot. His run-blocking prowess would fit right in with their smash-mouth style, and Boldin is enough of a play-maker to fill the team’s No. 1 receiver void.
I'd rather Boldin go to the AFC if the Bears cant get him lol
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
Is my main man CloudyFuture going to be
providing commentary of the Presser?
Or, will someone else volunteer? I’ll make sure to paste it into the main article if so…
It doesn't seem to be working on the website
Maybe it starts exactly at 6:00 and the feed starts when the conference starts
Wow!
The Bears sure are throwing cash around.
The power play is still f**king clown shoes

Been reading Dailynorseman, the Vikings blog
They’re talking about picking up Delhomme if Favre doesn’t come back…with all due respect to the Vikings and their fans…what a great day to be a Bears fan.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Mar 5, 2010 4:49 PM CST reply actions
We're not talking seriously about it
Some guy suggested it, and 99% of us think it’s dumb. I’d rather roll with TJ if Favre doesn’t come back. Delhomme to Minnesota isn’t happening.

It's just like when someone over at DN said that
we are cliaiming the Division and Conference title over here. If DN wasn’t a cesspool, I’d have challenged the person to provide proof to his claims. But DN is a dirty, dirty place.
Pretty chaotic over there
I wouldn’t want to stir up a hornets nest either.

Count me in as cautiously optimistic
I smell a 7 sack season from Peppers. I hope I’m wrong and he doesn’t relax after getting his money.

Energy Drink (been up all night) and some cigars (I will leave that for you to figure)… This is GREAT!
GO BEARS!!!!
Vikes fan here. Good first day for you guys
Julius Peppers—He’s good great, and there’s no argument there. However, he is the DE version of the ‘play when I want to play’ Randy Moss. Will he want to play now that he got his big pay day? He’s 30, and he’s battled injuries two of the last three years. Real big risk-reward potential, but could be a lot of money wasted. But let’s say that Peppers is as good as advertised. Okay, you got the second best defensive end in the NFC North (sorry, blatant homerism there), and he’ll be good, but you still don’t have anyone to complement him on the line. Tommie Harris has been good, but has that chronic knee injury that slowed him down. The rest of the defense is still a year older…and every player has a ‘yeah, but’ attached to him. Peppers is a good pickup, but you still need a lot of help.
Chester Taylor—This hurts, because I loved CT, and watching him play for the Bears will be depressing. However, I hold no ill will, and wish him the best. But CT is now running behind a terribly mediocre offensive line that was 29th in running the ball. He’ll be an upgrade, but you can’t run if you can’t get any blocking.
Cutler won’t throw 26 picks again, but he still doesn’t have anyone to throw to. And you really need to upgrade the o-line; Mike Martz is a 5 to 7 step drop, deep pass attack guy, and if you don’t upgrade the line, Cutler will get killed.

We'll make sure to pass the notes along to
our coaching staff. I’m sure they’ll appreciate the insight.
Now you kow....
How much it hurts to watch Bernard Berrian!!! I curse his name everytime he gets the ball!!! Cut the nameplate off his jersey and call it my Curtis Conway/Earl Bennett Jersey now!! LOL

Pat on the back while stealing your beer, lol
Seriously, a good day for you guys. Peppers is a beast, and God knows he chewed up McKinnie and spit him out last year. But there’s still issues that need to be addressed. With an uncapped year, you guys are in a rare position to do it. But the FA class kind of thins out after Peppers and CT. That said, you got arguably the two best FA’s available.
Congratulations, it’s a good day to be a Bears fan! But it’s still better to be a Vikes fan. ;)

Not sure if the Bears will take the NFC North
But we are a HELL of a lot better today than yesterday…and this team is built for the playoffs…whether we take the division it’s up to Lovie and his new team.
Also MilCardFan…we aren’t done with FA yet.
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Mar 5, 2010 4:57 PM CST up reply actions
Part of the problem with the O-line...
…is that, for much of the season, it prominently featured Orlando Pace (who showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s washed up) and involved several guys playing away from their natural positions (most notably Chris Williams at RT instead of LT). The line played much better at the end of the season when the coaching staff rectified those mistakes. I don’t expect great things from the line next year, but it’s definitely going to improve even if the Bears don’t make any big-name acquisitions there. (Plus, Manumaleuna is an excellent blocking TE, so his addition will generally help as well.)
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Well
but he still doesn’t have anyone to throw to.
That’s highly debatable considering Aroma beat your best CB by twenty steps on MNF. Plus, Knox had close to the same stats as your beloved Harvin. Hester was on pace for 70 rec and 1,000 yards until an injury and the wheels fell off of our offense. Bennett had a solid year after having zero catches, Olsen with career highs in every category. You’re right, he’s got no one to throw to.

It is highly debatable
Our best CB wasn’t that night. WInfield was playing on a sore foot, and played terribly the second half of the year. If you want to compare Knox and Harvin, go ahead. I’ll take Harvin, migraines and all, 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. Hester has a great reputation, and a lot of ’he’ll be good’ but has yet to show anything other than in returning kicks. And Olsen, your best guy, has been told by your OC that he’s going to be a blocker because a TE isn’t a factor in his offense..
So your best guy, Olsen, has been eliminated as a threat by your OC before training camp begins. Nice.

Seems like to me that you'd actually want to be informed on something
before just spewing random things that you’ve heard other people say… especially when trying to get somebody told.
Truth is, Martz never said that. Be sure to come back though once you’ve gotten your facts straight.
Odd... Vaughn McClure said
that Peppers’ agent just told him deal is not done yet. I wonder what that is all about…

Guys.......
This is an awesome day to be a Bears fan…just the buzz and optimism in the air after the year we just had feels GREAT!
Mr. Dyess
Da Bears are being mean -
give other teams a chance!
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
this is what happens
WHEN YOU TAMPER!!! Ha……
Seen like a few threads of vike and packer fans want the Bears busted for tampering….

That's what i like ta see all 3 wit a Bears helmet!!
Kobe....I dont play D i just want to score alot
I have started noticing
Haters and even misguided so-called Bears fans popping up saying that we just overpaid for three guys past their prime……wow….Bandwagon jumpers and Haters=FAIL
Mr. Dyess
Heard a guy
on the score screaming the paid double what Peppers were offered from other teams…..even B&B (the eternal pessimists) had to laugh at him….

we could have signed
Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, the best offensive line in football, and some DBag would jump on and say… well you don’t have Revis, what are you going to do now!

This should stop anyone from being all over Jerry Angelo and his desire to make the team better.
If they don’t make the playoffs this season, it should tell everyone, once and for all, that Lovie sucks as a HC. After last season with the Cutler deal and now these moves a year later, you can’t tell me that these players were bad choices. If Lovie fails again, he had better be gone after next season.
Well
when jobs are on the line sure….

problem is
some of them, peppers included, are only here, for Lovie…and Money, but if it was just money, it could have been PHI/NE

and all you people called for his Firing...
would this FA have been the same if Lovie LEFT?!?!? I LOVE ME SOME LOVIE!!! (T-Shirts coming soon… LOL
GO BEARS!!!!
by ChiTownSounds on Mar 5, 2010 6:01 PM CST up reply actions
I hope you're wrong because
history shows that the one’s who really want to play for him don’t show up all the time and it’s the fact that he doesn’t hold them accountable for performing 100% of the time that has contributed to us missing the playoffs for 3 years in a row. It worries me if the only reason they’re is Lovie because it could mean they’re looking for a vacation.
Now get Atogwe, Clark or Rolle
And FA is complete, If we can get Dunta or someone else, that’s just a bonus.
Yeah I'd like to see
Atogwe, Clark or Robinson myself!! Dunta lays down some HITS man… Mike Brown esq hits!!
GO BEARS!!!!
by ChiTownSounds on Mar 5, 2010 5:58 PM CST up reply actions
Dunta signed with the Falcons

being honest
I wouldn’t mind Sharper and a draft pick.
Or even getting a corner and moving Tillman to safety.
"I want people to fear me"- Derrick Rose.
I agree.........
I think we have been a bit hard on ol’ Jerry. The past two seasons the man has gone out and gotten the best guys available, so yeah if they fail this year…Lovie go bye bye.
