**Bears sign DE Jared Allen to 4 year contract**

[TL1961]

Vikings fans are saying that he lost a step and his sack numbers are inflated

I question how good Allen really is gonna be for us, but you can hardly fault Emery for the move. He's trying to fix a Dline here. Bennett turned us down. Allen was the best available and he got him.

Of course he has lost a step. he's 32. The Bears know he isn't the 28 year old Jared Allen.

And if he gets 11 inflated sacks, I am ok with it.

#Bears didn’t represent the biggest $ offer for Jared Allen: #Raiders did. They were willing to pay him $9M. He believed Bears were best fit

$1 mil less (per year presumably) to play in Chicago instead of Oakland. Sounds about right. I don't see how we are superbowl contenders but if he does that's fine by me.

I will hope for the best with Jared Allen.

I am optimistic that he will be an asset for two years.

But I'll be damned if I will wear a T Shirt with his mullet on it.

Make no mistake, part of Jared Allen’s reason for choosing the #Bears was his faith in Jay Cutler as a QB who can win titles.

Bahahaha this is making my day more awesome. Cutty haters gotta read that, oh man what a day.
Obviously Jared doesn't know what he's talkin bout of course

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

I wouldn't want to play for Oakland either, good for him.

 

[Les Grossman]

Well I'll definitely step up to the plate and remove my foot from my mouth. I never thought this would happen.

This is thread worthy and would surely start a 8 page shit storm. It's a shame that this nugget was buried on page 24.

So Houston and Allen have both said they chose the Bears, at least partially, because Jay is the quarter back. They must be contractually obligated to do so because we all know that no one likes Cutler...

Awesome News! First chance I've had to discuss all day.

 

[IBleedBearsBlood]

Awesome news indeed. I still think you take Donald in the 1st round. It always starts on the line. For the offense and defense. Seahawks have both, and won with no big time receivers. The line protected Wilson and made holes for lynch and the receivers were open due to Wilson having time to throw. Now I never said this happens every play. But there chances at a good play were higher than a bad play because of the line. Same thing with there defense. The guys up front make Sherman even better.

Ravens Super Bowl with Dilfer. Who the fuck is Dilfer. Line protected him to make enough safe throws and created lanes for Jamal Lewis. No elite receivers either. Defense, started up front.
A good front on both sides will make the back guys look good. Your chances on winning I'll be higher as well in my opinion.

Thank you.

Jared fukin' Allen is a Chicago Bear. Fuckin awesome--seriously Emery you cheeky bastard you.

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.

Remy how much do you charge to do taxes? Should be easy-- standard deduction!

 

[Space Invader]

If you read Desporado's posts with Eric Cartmen's voice, they are WAY more entertaining.

 

[KittiesKorner]

Good question...I'm not allowed to do my own taxes because none of my several graduate degrees are in business/finance. I would be interested in this as well.

I'm just looking for a last-minute deal bro!

I don't do taxes. I am on the audit/consulting side of things not the tax side. Honestly, if your taxes are that easy, I would just get turbo tax or tax act. They are easy to use and can handle simple tax returns.
