Free Agency Rumors and Discussion

[Burque]

I like young FA signings, these guys are still developing and have multiple years of good production left. It allows you to actually be flexible in the draft, instead of targeting 1 side of the ball or particular positions.

I really hope that we close out FA with the ability to truly go BPA in the draft. I think that is the ultimate goal.

We are getting closer, but we still have some defined needs at this point. I am definitely enjoying watch the age of this team plummet.

J'Marcus Webb sighting!!!

Free agent OT J'Marcus Webb To Visit With #Seahawks, Has Interest From #Raiders http://bit.ly/1YGqxQ6 #NFL

Sports Mockery, not sure about validity, is saying the meeting with Hicks was cancelled today.

FWIW: Nothing I have heard tells me Akiem Hicks has cancelled his visit to Chicago today. That's all I can really say on that. #Bears

I didn't realize Freeman was 30, but with only 5 years in the league. How does that happen? There has to be more to his story, not much wear and tear on a 30 year old body, but how did he get a late start?

 

[Bears27]

I think he actually credited the person SM credited. Sportsmockery hears one little thing then says it's factual. Sites terrible.

No he credited SportsMockery and even defended them.

oh my bad then.

Either way SportsMockery blows. 90% of their stuff is rumors that they turn into "facts"

Like Bennett was in Seattle for something non football related and SM said that bears and seahawks were working on a deal.

 

[Bears27]

Oh yea, it's tabloid-level garbage, but the sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while.
If the meeting with Hicks is cancelled have to wonder what the Bears are thinking.

Maybe they have a trade in the works?

Aaron said it's not cancelled, so I'll trust him for now. No clue.

He didn't really call them credible in general, he just said they had whatever news before Schefter

I believe he went to a small school, went undrafted and took the CFL route. Then eventually caught on with the Colts later.

I was told from a source that Akiem Hicks was working on a deal with the #Bears yesterday and that it is close to being done.

But they did call it with the Kane case some 2 months prior to anyone else

CFL 09-11

I actually missed playing against him by 1 year.

Wasn't he meeting them today?? Or were they working on parameters yesterday?

 

[Newblood]

Well I'm sure he wasn't going to fly into Chicago to visit if he didn't at least know they were close to what he wanted prior.

People with fake Twitter accounts deserve to catch an STD.

I disagree. We've moved into a world where we want all info immediately within 140 characters. All large news organizations have gutted their journalism departments because following a proven process to get the story right gets less attention then being the first to post something.

Fake posters reminds us that we've failed in verifying the story before it's hitting the media.
