Bears training camp: DTs - Brad Biggs: Henry Melton's play will be key to his future wealth and team's fortunes in 2014.
Prospects for NFCN QBs - Kevin Seifert: Cutler's leadership skills are questionable at best, but the Bears would be setting a high standard if they decide they can do better at the position. Ron Jaworski: Cutler too undisciplined for week-to-week consistency.
