Pay the man. We need some legit talent. We have no reason to be cheapo this year.

Vikings offer RG Mike Harris a 2 yr / $3.5 mill deal.
Anyone else think that we should offer something to easily beat that?
He's 27, 6'5"/338, and PFF has him rated #22 overall G out of 82 qualifiers. Supposedly excels in both pass and run blocking.

Apparently, Bruce Irvin to the Jaguars is pretty much done. He apparently owns a home in North Florida and has started following all the Jags writers etc.

Harrison wants 10 million a season, so he is not even that much cheaper.

Too much is relative to what you have.
The Bears have a ton of space, especially considering they have 70+ million in cap space next year with only Kyle Long to possibly extend.
The late incompetence of Angelo and the consistent incompetence of Emery have left the Bears unable to be in cap hell.

My guess is he gets 8-9.
His run defense numbers are incredible and true dominant NTs are hard to find. My guess is Hicks grabs himself 4-6 million as well.

Well, the Bears obviously know what he's asking for. And they know what it has been reported he turned down from Denver. So, the fact that the Bears are thought to be interested means that they are very prepared to spend 10-12M./year on him.

Jaguars and raiders will steal all the headlines early next week. Let's just hope they over spend and waste their money on players that don't fit the bear's needs.

I'm all for spending some money, but I'd pass on Malik. I think his price will be too high when we could bring in some really good LB's and some OL help in free agency and use the draft to build the front on D.

I get that. If they sign him they sign him. He's a good football player that would improve the defensive line. I just don't think he's worth what he's gonna get, and would rather go after some cheaper options, and more overall talent to the roster instead of putting our eggs in one or less baskets.

I know the Bears have a ton of cap space...I'd rather sign 2 guys for his price than him. Just cuz they have the cap space doesn't mean they should overpay or spend unwisely. Depends how much he is actually gonna get, but the reports are too high for me personally.

This is good news but not just because they may sign him. It shows the Bears are willing to sign at least one big money FA to buck up the defense. It also shows that the Bears prefer not to draft a 5Tech in the first round. If they thought the draft could land them one they probably would not go after one of the most sought out FA guys that plays DL. My guess is that Malik is their first option but if they cannot land him then Ian Williams is their next option and have Eddie shift over to the 5Tech position. This also shows to me that their intention is to improve the front 7 pass rush with one if not their only big splash FA signing on a 5Tech as opposed to OLB. To mind this is shrewd thinking on their part as I have stated in earlier posts it is pretty unrealistic to expect a rookie to step in and provide both quality run defense AND pass defense unless he is probably a top 5 pick. It also shows they probably will keep Lamar Houston and hope between Lamar McPhee and Willie under Fangio;s clever play calling they can put together a good enough pass rush as long as they can get some push from the 5Tech positions.
