Bears Trading for Vincent Jackson?

The doldrums of the summer off-season have been awakened with a sudden rush of rumor wind. According to PFT (link here) the Bears are interested in trading for Vincent Jackson. Apparently Vincent is on the trading block. It is speculated that Vincent would require another one of the Chicago Bears first round picks and lead to another year of buzzless draft rumors which isn't good for business:)

Our humble opinion is that vincent isn't worth a first round pick and isn't a hugh upgrade.

Say it Ain't so: T.O. to Bears?

According to PFT TO is trying to squirm his way into the Bears roster. Supposedly TO wants a one year 5 million dollar deal. This would be a great deal if this were any other great receiver in the NFL but since its TO, we say no way. T.O. is a cancer to any locker room and would seal the end of Lovie Smith's opportunity as the head coach of the Chicago Bears. I don't think Angelo or Lovie would be this dumb to sign Lovie but who knows.

Bears interested in G Justin Smiley?

Bears are interested in Justin Smiley but aren't going to do anything until he's released. Check out PFT article here. Bears still need to upgrade the left guard position and as of yet have done nothing to address the hole via free agency or the draft. Its only May and there should be some June 1st cuts and the Bears may grab someone then.

We thought this was the biggest need in the draft and the Bears did nothing. Although they maybe able to fill the hole with someone already on their roster but that didn't work out so well with Frank Omiyale last year why do they think it will work this year?

Bears Still Searching for a Guard

According to PFT, check out article here, the Bears are inquiring of FA guard Shawn Andrews. We are not sure what is good or bad about the guy. We checked out an article on ESPN to get some more insight as to why he was let go in the first place. It seems he has injury concerns but could potentially return to dominance if desire to play at a professional level still exists. If anything he deserves a second look and could fill the LG position quite well.

The Bears need to do something at the position before training camp.

Panthers Safety Chris Harris maybe coming back?

According to Brad Biggs and Chris Harris' twitter account the Bears have traded or will trade one of their backup linebackers to the Carolina Panthers for Chris Harris. Not sure if this is a good move but we believe its an upgrade at the position. Check out links here, here, and here.

Bears to pursue G Alan Faneca

Alan Faneca signed a great deal a couple years ago with the Jets and now he's on the free market. I imagine his release was due to the non-salary cap hit and the newly acquired Vladimir Ducasse. With the Bears not addressing what I felt was their biggest need this seems like a no brainer. The question remains what kind of dollars is Faneca expecting? The Bears have to have some cash left over for this kind of situation and we can't imagine Faneca getting more than a couple million per year at the ripe age of 33. With all that said the left guard missing puzzle piece on the Bears offensive line has a Alan Faneca shape.

Check out the article with Angelo's comments regarding pursuing Faneca here.

Bold Prediction: Bears Select Nate Allen with the 53rd Pick

Bold Prediction:  Bears Select Nate Allen with the 53rd Pick
By: Aaron Searles

I’m not sure how they are going to do it, but it is my prediction that the Bears will trade with the New England Patriots and acquire their 3rd 2nd round pick, which is the 53rd pick in the NFL Draft.  The Bears biggest need is at the left guard position, but they can draft a productive guard in any round of the draft.  The Bears biggest need at a skill position is at free safety.  It could be Greg Olsen or somebody else that New England has deemed worthy to play for their dynasty and will trade their 53rd pick away in combination with other draft picks from the Bears.  We are not encouraged that Greg Olsen will stay with the team even though he has publically said that he wants to stay with the team.  The NFL is a win now league and the current Bears staff has a win yesterday approach to this year because of their job insecurity.  Martz reiterated that Greg Olsen needs to learn how to block and the reality is you can’t change that quickly into a blocking tight end….its written in the sky.  So, with all that said, Angelo and with Lovie going “yeah, yeah, yeah” over his shoulder, will acquire Safety Nate Allen.

Angelo….work your magic.

PFT NFC NORTH NEEDS

Check out the link here.

Chicago Bears needs in Bears Rumors opinion:

1. LG - PFT would say RT, but with Frank Omiyale and Fred Schaeffer competing for the position one of them should pan out...hopefully. Omiyale and Beekman didn't work last year at LG and lets not forget how bad Orlando Pace was at LT.  With Williams moving over to LT, Kreutz - Center, and Garza - RG, LG is the biggest hole on the Chicago Bears roster.  If the Bears can fill this either with the 3rd or 4th round pick the dynamic duo of Chester Taylor and Matt Forte should do some damage on opposing defenses.
2. FS - Not sure why Danielle Manning can't fit in here, but maybe some competition is what is needed.  With the Bears first pick being in the 3rd round we aren't too excited about a game changer regardless of the position they draft for.
3. 3RD ROUND STRATEGY - BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE.  The Bears can't reach with the third pick and this is typically where Angelo's strength lies.  Whoever the Bears pick don't expect them to contribute right away..see Jarron Gilbert.

Pisa Tinoisamoa Signs for Another Go

See link here. Bears made a good move in bringing back a potential starter.  If anything was clear last year the Bears needed depth at the linebacker position.  Pisa needs to prove himself as a starter before he takes the place of someone more deserving.  The Bears in our humble opinion, now have the best set of linebackers and believe will help return the Bears defense back to its dominant form.

2007 Nate Allen Highlights

Bears Orchestrating to Move Up?

If Lovie Smith is meeting with safety Nate Allen, a projected 2nd round pick, Angelo must have some plan to move up in the draft.  We imagine that every team needs to do work just in case the right opportunity is presented to them in the draft. It also maybe be part of the Bears strategy to see what they can do in the draft and if they don't find the right guy in the right place go after a Darren Sharper or other productive veteran.

We speculate that Angelo knows what he can trade to acquire a 2nd round pick, the only issue is will Nate Allen fall far enough for him to do the deal?  Another team may value him more than what the Bears may have worked out with oh lets say the New England Patriots.

In one sense its awesome that we have a motivated GM, but on the other hand bitter because all these moves could be for naught once a new GM cleans house establishing a new team with his guys.

Bulger to Bears Unlikely

According to Kevin Seifert's article here, makes the case that common sense does not lead recently released QB Marc Bulger landing with the Bears. Marc will have better "waiting in the wings" opportunities on other teams.

Bears Inquiring in Flozell Adams Protective Services?

Recently released Adams could be "kicked" to see if his tires have enough air in them to contribute to the porous Chicago Bears offensive line. Adams played left tackle for the Dallas Cowboys and most likely would play right tackle for the Bears if signed. It is rumored that the Bears are one of three teams interested in Adams.

Check out link to release here.

Bears in trade mix for OG Rob SIms

According to this article, the Bears are interested in Seahawks OG Rob Sims. Sims apparently doesn't fit into the new blocking scheme and would fit nicely in the Bears. Currently Sims is a RFA and has a 4th round tender on him. Seahawks must be expecting higher than a 4th rounder.

Mike Florio - Bears Need to Trade for Brandon Marshall

According to Mike Florio the Bears need to trade their 2011 1st round pick and a performance based pick to the Broncos for Brandon Marshall. Check out the article here. How many 1st round picks end up being busts? How many millions of dollars are spent on rookies that do nothing on the field? If I was Jerry Angelo I would trade the 1st pick every year for proven players.

1st round Chicago Bears Currently contributing on the team:

Brian Urlacher - Pro Bowler
04 Tommie Harris - Pro Bowler, currently in a slump
08 Chris Williams - Unproven
Greg Olsen - Contribute this year?

1st round picks no longer with team:

2005 - RB Cedric Benson - Ego
2003 - DE Michael Haynes - Stunk
2003 - QB Rex Grossman - Short
2002 - OT Marc Colombo - Injured
2001 - WR David Terrell - Ego
1999 - QB Cade McNone - Stunk

My Summation of this data leads me to conclude that Jerry Angelo stinks...but I would need to compare him to other General Managers during the same period of time.

Alex Brown to be released today....ugh

According to Bradd Biggs via PFT (link here) the Bears will be releasing Alex Brown today. We disagree with this move but definitly believe this is a hint that Julius Peppers will be rushing from the right side of the defense and makes Brown's annual price tag too high for a backup. We was/is one of our favorite players and we are sad to see him go. This also squashes the previous rumor about the trade for Brandon Marshall.

April Fools? Bears in three way trade talks for WR Brandon Marshall

According this link the Bears are in trade talks to acquire Brandon Marshall. The price? Greg Olsen and Alex Brown. The Broncos would give up Marshall someone they don't seem to have in the future plans and receive G Sims from the Seahawks and Greg Olsen from the Bears. The Seahawks would get a 2nd round pick from the Broncos and Alex Brown from the Bears. This seems far fetched and on april fools day. Too good not to post though...

Bears Trading Up in the Draft?

According to Brad BiggS, Jerry Angelo is looking to trade up in the draft for a safety. Biggs believes the Bears may go after Nate Allen in the second round. The only way we see the Bears getting a #2 this year would be giving up #3 this year and a #2 next year. If Nate Allen falls far enough Angelo may pounce.

Lovie Checking Out Nate Allen?

Lovie is down at south florida's pro day. We are having flashbacks of Lovie working out Daniel Manning. Allen isn't expected to be available in the third round but the Bears need to be ready for any scenario.

Alex brown on trading block

According to brad biggs the bears are shopping Alex brown. Biggs refers to his "NFL source" that Alex brown is expendible with a 5 million dollar salary this year and 5+ next year. This would be a dumb move because Alex brown in our opinion is one of the key leaders on the D. The bears should keep him because he's a projected starter.

Bears Interested in Safety Deon Grant?

Grant was released from the Seattle Seahawks Monday and is now a free agent. Grant most likely is being considered by the Bears and could come cheaper than others on the market. What we like about Deon Grant is that he is an experienced veteran that could provide leadership in the backfield.
