I'm sure that the fact that we have a decent offense was a good incentive for these guys to sign here. Lets face it, this is a team that could have gone fairly far in the playoffs if we could have put a decent defense on the field. Heck, we weren't that far from sneaking into the playoffs with what was arguably the worst defense in the league.
This makes a team like Chicago very tempting for guys that not only want to get to the playoffs again. Oakland is a mess, has been a mess and will continue to be a mess. Fixing that team will require a lot more than just bringing in some good free agents and a decent draft. Minnesota is almost as bad. But Chicago has 1/2 of a Superbowl team already set. Offensively this team could win it all. Defensively it needed help and this is what makes it so tempting. If a Houston or Allen can cause a 180 in our defense and make it not only decent but good then there is a very good chance that we could win the entire thing. We certainly have a better shot at going deep into the playoffs than Minnesota or Oakland.
