Bears Free Agent News/Rumors

[Dejo]

Get Levitre and Cooper to set the interior. I believe Carimi will develop.

 

[Kleats]

Lance Louis is not going to be ready at the beginning of the season . Better get 2 starters (minimum ) from FA + the draft ( one from each ) or it's gonna be same shit new year .

 

[WindyCity]

Bears have shown interest in Pittsburgh guard Ramon Foster.

So that makes Levitre, Moore, and now Foster, all guards.

 

[Catch22]

looks like they are trying to build the O-Line from the inside out, like they did in NO

 

[Old Dirty Curtis]

I say lets go all out on OL and just fix it now.... If we sign Andy and Bushrod in FA then draft Cooper in the first if we can and Terron Armstead in the second then we have Bushrod, Levitre, Cooper, Louis, Armstead/Webb

This from Rotoworld:

Andy Levitre - G - Bills

The Chicago Sun Times reports that the Bears are expected to be involved in the bidding for free agent OG Andy Levitre.
Levitre, 27 in May, has now been linked to Chicago and Tennessee, with Detroit also floated as a less likely suitor. He'd be a great addition to a Bears line that has experienced interior woes several seasons running. Bears GM Phil Emery may target Levitre first, and treat Brandon Moore as a fallback option.

I'm likin' this! This is one of the best FA "values" we can pick up........."a steal."

Imo, this is the only OL in FA I would really pursue hard.

I think its more a matter of the market than anything.

Dickerson and Wright are announcing Melton's Agent said he will sign the tender on Saturday or Monday.

Bears can't pull it away like some dingbats on the air were calling for

Have we signed anyone yet? WTF if Emery doing! Getting really worried here...

 

[Wakacha]

I hope the Saints make their tender on De La Puente soon. The suspense is killing me. They'll probably wait until the last second for negociating purposes, but how he's tendered could shape the Bears free agency. If he's given an original round tender, you have to believe he's the #1 target right? Age, talent, and price makes him the best available/value IMO, not to mention the Kromer connection

#Bears are clearly in the market for a guard: Ramon Foster believed to be on #Bears radar. He's started 30 games last 2 seasons for Steelers

So, basically, negotiations are occurring and the NFL has apparently scared everyone into not talking about them. #tanksfernuttin

Bye Bye Lance Louis?

 

[94c4lt1]

Nope, we need two guards. Definitely a LG.

Andy Levitre - G - Bills
The Nashville Tennessean's Jim Wyatt believes it's "even money" Titans GM Ruston Webster's first call at midnight Saturday was to the player rep for free agent OG Andy Levitre.
It certainly sounds like Levitre is the Titans' top free-agent target. Annually desperate for interior offensive line help, Tennessee could shore up a weakness by replacing Steve Hutchinson at left guard with Levitre. It's a bit surprising that Hutchinson and overpaid C Eugene Amano haven't been released yet.
