OK Jerry, What's Next?

The Bears just didn't dive into the free agent pool, they pulled off the Mother of all dives with the near impossible Triple Lindy. But like most fans, I want to know, what's next? We are a short attention span society, and on the same day the Bears held the presser announcing what was the biggest free agent haul in the history of the franchise, Chicago sports radio was fielding calls asking about other upgrades they need to make. The ink wasn't even dry on the three contracts doled out to Brandon Manumaleuna, Julius Peppers, and Chester Taylor before I'm hearing fans worried about the free safety position, or the offensive line, or finding a #1 receiver.
I guess the glass half empty thinking is better than the knuckleheads already making their travel arrangements to Dallas, Texas for Super Bowl XLV. But what are the next logical steps for Chicago? There are still options in free agency, there are still options via trade, and there is still the NFL Draft coming up next month.
Sklz711 already broke down the free safety possibilities, and I agree, O.J. Atogwe makes the most sense. And PolishSausage.Ditka.Bears. (congrats on the front page bump btw) already touched on The Poison Pill Strategy the Bears should use to make an offer for Atogwe. But maybe the Bears are thinking the improved pass rush will be enough to offset any secondary concerns. Rumors have been floating since last week about the Bears actively pursuing a FS, but so far nothing. If they don't make a splash should we assume they are ready to usher in the Craig Steltz era at FS or will FS be their #1 priority in the draft?
As far as free agency goes, I think it's Atogwe or nothing. If they can't pull off a deal for him, I think free safety then has to be their top target in the draft. This is a deep draft at the safety position, and that bodes well for Chicago. They could find a player that is capable of starting at FS from day one with their 3rd round pick.
Sticking with the draft, I think it's fair to say that the Bears won't be targeting any running backs, tight ends, or defensive ends come April, (well, that 3rd one JA still may wind up targeting). I'd like to see the Bears target offensive line with that 3rd round pick. The unrestricted free agent offensive line men aren't very exciting, and finding a quality guard or right tackle is a possibility in the 3rd round.
A popular debate here on WCG is the future of Greg Olsen. Should they or shouldn't they trade him? Is he or isn't he a fit in the Mike Martz offense? The only non-debatable aspect to the discussion is that there isvalue around the league for Olsen. In fact he may be the only player on the roster where trading him makes sense. I'm still not sure if Angelo would pull the trigger on a deal. I'd be ok either way as long as they can at least pick up a high 2nd rounder. In regards to the perceived lack of balls being thrown the tight ends way in the offense, I loved what Manumaleuna had to say about that; from chicagobears.com:
"When I was in St. Louis, you have to understand the people that were outside of me," Manumaleuna said. "So when people say I was being ignored, it wasn't really being ignored. It was more throwing to two Pro Bowl receivers and a Pro Bowl running back coming out of the backfield. It wasn't a lack of using the tight ends but more so using your Hall of Fame players."
Good point. Greg Olsen may be the best receiving threat in Chicago, so why wouldn't Martz find a way to get him involved. When looking over the 2000 St. Louis Rams playbook, I came across plenty of times the tight end is running a route. I think the Bears will still utilize plenty of double TE sets, only with Manumaleuna lining up off the line so he can motion and play more of the H-Back role. If anyone is wary of losing playing time, it should be fullback Jason McKie. I regards to a trade, I think the Bears stand pat unless a team really blows them away with an offer, and a chance to select a player they deem "special".
The plan of attack I'd like to see Jerry Angelo take is; Sign Atogwe, then draft offensive line, either in the 3rd round or by trading Greg Olsen to move up for a 1st round talent like Mike Iupati or Maurkice Pouncey.
A few other thoughts I have...
With Anquan Boldin getting moved and Brandon Marshall looking like an unlikely option, I think the Bears ride with the group of receivers they have. Drafting a project guy late wouldn't surprise me.
If Pisa Tinoisamoa wants to resign, and the Bears want to resign him, why hasn't he officially resigned? He's still listed on the roster after all, according to their website.
Nathan Vasher is still a Bear why? He's still due a total of $10.1 million over the next three years ($2.95 million in 2010), and all that for a corner that won't start, that can't play safety, can't play nickle, and won't be on special teams?
Do you think the Bears would even bother to match any of the offers they may get on their restricted free agents? I can see them happy to pick up a few draft picks.
If Danieal Manning is really gonna get a crack at strong safety, then who'll play nickle?

ok really
just seeing the triple lindy again made my day. great movie/reference
if it was up to me i’d keep olsen. at least for a year and try to up his trade value as i can’t imagine it is terribly high right now.
its only gonna get worse
if we keep him because hes gonna have a huge drop in playing time this year.
I think there is value, but I doubt he fetches a 1st round pick
During the 2009 season, Olsen was tied for 4th in TD’s and was 11th in yards, however, he has two negatives. Amongst the better TE’s in the league he is behind everyone but Shiancoe and Scaife in Yards per completion and he is behind everyone but Keller with a 56.1% catch rate. That’s not good for a TE.

If Olsen gets traded for a 2nd, look for that to happen during the draft
Before giving up a good pick, I think the teams interested would want to see the draft play out. If all this talent they like is falling, then they may want to keep the picks. If the guys they want are gone, then maybe they’d pull the trigger.
i dont really like B&B but on their show yesterday...
They said that the Bears were trying to trade Olsen but the best offer they got was a 5th rounder. I don’t dislike Olsen, I think we overrate him but there are very few if any tight end that are really good at blocking and receiving. I don’t get why so many people say we have to trade him. He is a good talent. If we cannot get good value, why trade him? We can probably find the best value with our pick at guard. I think we really really need to get Atogwe so that we can get a starting ol with our first pick.

Are there any quality FA O-Lineman still available?
Even if we pick a offensive lineman in the 3rd round the odds that they will be able to contribute immediately are pretty slim. NFL o-lineman need experience before they’re productive.
Signing Atogwe seems to be bit complicated and may that’s why the Bears jumped on it like they have with the unrestricted free agents.
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
I would much prefer an experienced OLineman.
For the most part it seems easier for a good Safety or WR to transition to the pro game then it is for offensive lineman.
3rd Round Pick
If the Bears sign Atogwe and FA O-Lineman then they can choose the best available player regardless of position in the 3rd round. A much stronger position than the current situation.
Only elite WR are able to transition and produce in the first year.

not really
There’s really nothing out there in terms of O-linemen who aren’t rejects/castoffs from other teams. Stephen Neal from the Pats is a solid starter but they re-signed him. The Colts just yesterday released one of their starting interior linemen (RG? LG?) so he may have some potential but the reason he was released is because basically he sucks at run blocking, he is a one-trick pony as a pass blocker. With Forte and Taylor in our backfield, I think a guy who has a rep for sucking at run blocking is probably not a good fit for us.
So basically…no…there’s nothing out there worth getting excited about. It’s either the draft or a trade if we want someone who is starting-caliber.
it is like the big moves have caught us up to the pack
making up for 3 years of neglect. Yet i don’t think it has catapulted us into elite status. Still too many holes at Saftey, OL and WR. HOWEVER, even though we don’t have early picks, those 3 needs can be mended using the picks we do have. 3rd round- Kam Chancellor 4th- RT/LG 5th round- WR 6th round- WR. I’d prefer a free agent at one of those position, prolly the OL, but I wouldn’t be shocked if we are done in free agency.
The biggest thing IMO is #54’s health.
If the Bears can find a way
to get back into the 3rd round this draft, and pick up Chancellor and Asamoah… i’d consider this a solid draft, no matter who the fluff/fillers were afterwards

I think you're hung up on the WR a bit much
We have Aromashodu, Bennett, Knox, Hester and if we have to dip into the inexperienced then Iglesias and Peterman. There’s no reason we need to use 5th and 6th round picks on WR. Do you really think we’re going to grab a starter out of the 5th and 6th round that would beat what we already have set up at the position? Seems like a waste of picks to me. I’d rather draft more OL/DL, CB, or S and try and develop them then continue to stockpile inexperienced wideouts.
by PolishSausage.Ditka.Bears. on Mar 9, 2010 11:21 AM CST up reply actions
yeah the 5th and 6th i was thinking best avail. at any of the 3 positions i mentioned
but if we have to dip into Iglesias and Peterman we are screwed. As is Hester is decent. If 1 of Aromashadu, knox, or Bennett plays better then they ever have. then we will be a decent passing team. If 2 of those 3 play well then we will be a great passing team. Problem is people are expecting Ftzgerald, Boldin and Breaston production out of Aromashadu, Knox and Bennett and I can tell u right now that is very unlikely.
I'm not expecting
Cardinal-esque quality receivers from our 3 but I do think that they are productive enough that we can focus on the holes in our defense and the offensive line. If we are going to add another wideout to the team I would prefer it was in the form of a veteran, maybe Holt if the price was right. But who knows, our wideouts were just as productive as the Cardinals’ at one point during the ’09 season and they might really have a break out season. One can hope.

Holt might be the target.
I think the Martz will wait until OTAs and training camp before adding to this WR core. If one or two of these guys fail at gasping the concept of his playbook, I can predict Holt will be a Bears by training camp.
Right now, I have a feeling the Bears will not use a draft pick on a WR, but wait until the market settles and grab a veteran before camp preferably Holt. Who knows the playbook and can help the current WR with learning their assignments. Unless a guy in the draft slides down the board to the Bears that Martz likes.

But you keep fighting the good fight Mr. Quixote.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I believe it was the first 2-3 weeks
The Cardinals and Bears were the only teams with 3 WR’s having 150 yds receiving or something like that
(Asshole Sr) "If you learn one thing here, NEVER pass out in Ohio."
For what it’s worth I wonder if Martz will all out slide Olson to WR so he can focus on mastering that to his full extent, if this could happen olson’s height and hands could eliminate any #1 talk.
Martz has been quoted as saying he would rather have a WR than a TE pretending to be a WR. On the other hand, Olsen’s abilities to create mismatches if he’s put in motion should get our OC’s juices flowing.

FORGET the WR'S
If this is a do or die season as many of you are predisposed to, you want a cohesive offence ( QB and RCVR’S ) that has worked together even if only for one year. We don’t have the TIME or the MONEY to waste on the possible results of the available castoffs that are left in FA. Use these guys and our young rcvr’s will again be shut out and totally wasted.
You are making player predictions from last year and want to apply them to 2010. Yea right!! First look at your new O/Coaching staffs experience and their results. Next apply that to the Bears rcvr’s. Do you really think that those coaches won’t be able to turn out an elite squad of recievers? This also includes those out of the backfield wheather they are set or shifting? As for the rcvr’s from last years group that you want to throw under the bus, just remember our past O/C and his inability to use his wr’s wisely. Aromashadu and Iglesias, given the chance, will be in their own way, just as effective as Knox and Bennett, their college stats attest to work ethics and abilities to do just that.
Finally, if you want a team for a one season, flash in the pan, then fill your team with the castoffs from other tems. If you want a ten year dynasty then you should mostly build it from the inside out.

I believe Manning is better suited to play FS. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have Atogwe back there. I just think Manning is too small to play SS. I’d rather see Payne start over Afalava. Stetlz in my mind isn’t even an option. Every time I see him on tv or read his name I think of THIS play.

you my friend
are so wrong it should be illegal
Kevin Payne is THE best safety on the team. Let me guess you are one of those people who want to get rid of Olsen too?
Do you get a jolly out of wanting to get rid of the best players on the team?
Do or do not there is not try-Master Yoda
why keep olsen?
if he isnt gonna play? you really think they went out and got Manu and gave him a 5 yr deal to be a backup to olsen?
olsen is a pass catching tight end with limited blocking ability, or, the exacty opposite of what mike martz offense calls for. if we keep him another year we wont be able to get dick for him, we need to move him while he has some value.
It is possible that Mike Martz
might actually employ some 2 TE sets, Olsen is not usless in his offense and to say that is a bit ignorant. If Martz doesn’t utilize A. Jay’s favorite and most trusted target and B. one of the better pass catchers on the team then he will be gone next year no question.

the double TE sets
is exactly what I thought about above… Manu will play more H-Back stuff

We've ran those set fairly successfully with Turner
so I would think Martz has a few ideas.

actually. go do some research
The Bears’ plan was to get rid of Clark, not Olsen.
Martz has said he can’t wait to see what he can figure out for Olsen.
And honestly, I can’t wait either
Do or do not there is not try-Master Yoda
You should try watching the game and pay attention to the safety position
It is horrible. Payne is constantly late in coverage, rarely makes a play on the ball andwhen he does make a hit he tends to not wrap up and tries to just shoulder him to the ground..doesn’t work. Does he have the physical tools?? yes but he is not a playmaker. He is great at making tackles 25 yards down field. As far as Olsen goes? I like the guy but if I could swap him for the chance to get a right tackle for the next 10 years he would be gone in a heartbeat.

Good Post.
As for Olsen, instead of trying to get a pick for him why don’t we see if the Rams are interested in working out a trade between him and Atogwe? I’m sure that we would have to throw in a pick to help but I’d rather have the FS position solidified than keep Olsen around. Over at Turf Show Times, Rams fans have already been discussing Greg Olsen as well as what sort of compensation they would like to receive for Atogwe. Most people chose a 2nd and 4th round pick for him, maybe Olsen and a 3rd would interest them.

I think St Louis
should trade us straight up for Olsen/Atogwe, and consider themselves lucky we even recognize them as an NFL team. we need our third pick IMO.

I think that Atoqwe
is much more valuable than Olsen right now, just look at his stats. If we could get that kind of trade we would be solidifying our FS position at the cost of a decent TE and a 3rd round pick. More than likely our 3rd pick will go towards a FS anyway so it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Besides the Rams are trying to keep Atogwe so we’re going to have to sweeten the deal to make something happen.

Atogwe
is a better player than Olsen but Olsen is signed for 2 more years on the cheap and is young and healthy.
Atogwe is an RFA with no draft pick compensation, is older, and is coming off an injury.
The Bears don’t have to give the Rams anything for Atogwe. All they have to do is sign him to a better contract than the Rams want to give him.
DEJESUS!!!
but people are saying Peppers is old
and he’s only 2 years older than that. it’s all relative

Why trade a player and pick for something we could possibly get with money alone?
I can understand possibly making some sort of trade IF we arent able to sign him outright, but signing him should be the 1st option….JA needs to sign the guard just cut from the Colts Lilja, he can take over at guard move Omi back to tackle and then we can just draft the best available player with our 3rd round pick….I wouldnt mind the Bears wheeling and dealing this years 3rd and a pick next year to get Eric Berry but other than that we need to do what we hafta do right now and not rely on a 3RD round pick to start and immediately contribute
There has got be some changes made or we're gonna be in for a world of disappointment.......
Knucklehead here,
Any move the Bears make from here is gravy. With Urlacher back coupled with the addition of Peppers, the secondary might be better by default. If we can somehow get an O-lineman great. We’ve already gotten better than the rest of the division maybe the league, huh ha ha ha ha ha ha hah.
Better than the North and maybe the league?

Why can't we run Olsen
like the Colts run Dallas Clark? I like Olsen i didn’t think he had a bad year and think he is only going to get better as the other WR’s progress(assuming, of course, they do). I mean come on i would rather see DA, Knox, olsen, and then split routes between Bennet and Hester. The reason i put Hester at the end we just because they were talking about limiting his recieving and make him a full time kick/punt returner again.
If the Bears
had the Colts OC, and Olsen could get open and catch the ball while getting hit like Clark, they’d use him like Clark. But they have an OC who relies on the TE to block, and a TE who cna’t get open, break tackles, or catch if contact is coming.
If the Bears can get a 2nd or 3rd for Olsen they should jump on it. If they can get a legit safety for him (Donte Whitner or George Wilson from Buffalo could be possibilities) they should do that.
DEJESUS!!!
The Bears
certainly got better on thursday, but “the mother of all free agency dives” is a bit overstated, don’t you think, when one of the moves is a blocking tight end and another is a 30+ year old 3rd down RB.
DEJESUS!!!
ME TOO
i cant understand why we are paying all this coin to vasher to sit out and nurse his many injuries, he is still collecting money for one good season. drop the dead weight and go get us some FA lineman
Any Colts lineman is more than welcome on the Bears.......Let's get lilja
they just made it to the super bowl and from watching it didnt seem like they had a bunch of great run Blockers anyway…...With Mike Martz’s offense we need good pass blockers and it sounds like he fits the system…That would take care of that part of the line….we need to get a safety!! Clark just resigned with the Steelers and the Safety crop is getting thin, I feel like we are gonna be getting Darren Sharper
There has got be some changes made or we're gonna be in for a world of disappointment.......
+100000000
for Lilja. Maybe those talks with the Saints and Sharper aren’t as positive as I thought. Figured we would have heard something by now.
Walter Payton lives on!!!
Why does everyone want Sharper?
He doesn’t like Cover 2 and he didn’t play well in it at Minnesota. Only way we could even sign him is if we outbid the Saints because he’d prefer playing there. So, we’ll be paying large for an old safety to play in a system he doesn’t like and doesn’t do well in. That’s just..not good.
he did make a Pro Bowl playing in the system
and he’ll play where ever the money takes him

If I were Angie I would say screw it.
I’d go after OJ and put a poison pill the size of a grapefruit in the contract, Then I would call denver and offer them a 1st and a 4th next year and maybe a player in a sign a trade type deal, I would then scoop up the guard that was released by the Colts and in the draft I would go with best player available. It’s an uncapped year go all out. Besides if they screw this up they won’t be around to see the aftermath any way. I’m sure this could all be done without ruining the cap don’t ask me how that’s above my paygrade but I’m sure it’s possible. Anyway that’s my two cents worth.
