Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Bears Sign Arena League Player

The Bears have signed Timon Marshall, wide receiver from the Grand Rapids Rampage, to a three year deal.

Marshall led the league in all purpose yards last year with 2,374.

Don't know where or how they plan to use this guy, but the Bears seem to be stockpiling guys with big play ability.

Hmm
Wasn't Davis an Arena league guy?  He's been decent for us.

Which side of the ball
do you think he'll be playing? It sounds like he's a more dominant offensive player, but we need more help, especially after this season with Tillman and Vasher up for FA, on the defensive side.

We could use him earlier on D, but I don't
see that.  We have a lot of receivers, so if he is going to see anytime at all, maybe some special teams unless he beats out some guys.
