Jackson could be a good pickup if he gets motivated to get another big contract. He's a perfect fit for a 3-4.

Isn't he owed quite a bit this year though? He'd be great to have but our D-Line isn't exactly a big need for us.

He won't be if he's cut. If he's traded, yes.

I don't know what team would want Tannehill, period?... And what team would want him at that price? If there existed a team that wanted him, they could surely wait till he got cut.

If there's something to this, I'd have to assume Miami wants Foles, maybe settle for Keenun.

He'd be an upgrade over Bullard and would be in an ideal situation providing starts & depth. The 2015 Broncos dont win the SB without him dominating the LOS that season. If he plays close to that, it would be a huge addition to the D. And he wouldn't count against the compensatory formula.

They do have a shit ton of money tied up in that team so he probably will get cut if they can't trade him but i'm sure he'd be looking for a starting job which he wouldn't get with us. Sure would be nice to have him though.

He'd start over Bullard in a heartbeat. Unless Pace is hoping Bullard makes a big jump this year.

Yeah i'm not sure Bullard will even be around much longer and am pretty sure RRH took his job from him last year. E.Goldman and A.Hicks are the starters. B.Nichols was also taking plenty of work from Bullard. M.Jackson would be a hell of a piece to get for us but i just don't see it happening. Would love to be wrong on that.

Hoge, Jahns, and Bowen did a podcast and all of them thought that the Bears were cool with Amos testing the market because of how deep it was they didn’t think he would get the offers he is expecting.

The Raiders are reportedly shopping Derek Carr, but that seems like a stretch unless and until they have a replacement in place

Here in Indianapolis sources tell me the Washington Redskins have openly spoken about trading for Josh Rosen, IF the quarterback becomes available.

Biggs made 3 points in his most recent article,

1. The Bears are going to make a serious run at keeping both Callahan and Amos.

2. He does not see big money being spent at K.

3. The Bears have beenindiscussion about bringing Daniel Brown back.

4. Expect a Cody Whitehair extension in the summer so factor that into the plans

1. I think it is important to try and get one of them signed before free agency. It will give you a clearer picture of what you can do with the other and allow you to focus on that market as it develops.

2. Staying cheap and replaceable at kicker makes sense.

3. I would like more of a pass catcher added at TE.

3 points? Is this what the Canadian education system looks like?

More of a passcatcher than Brown? He's more of a pass catcher than anything else. Too bad Brown couldn't have stepped into Burton's role for the playoff game. I mean, he was on the team, but I didn't notice him doing what Burton was doing.

Of course Burton is twice the receiver Brown is.
