Good. Hope the Bears run up the bid and walk away. Forcing the Raiders/Jags to eat up as much of that available cap space as they can.

I said I wasn't defending Mike. I was defending reading comprehension.

My thoughts and musing from day 1 of the insanity.
-Howie Roseman is some sort of wizard. How he got anyone to take on the terrible contracts of Maxwell and Murray is one of the great GM moves of recent memory.
It just proves you only need 1 idiot, in this case 2.
-The Dwayne Allen contract confirms to me that Ryan Grigson is an idiot. Allen had 16 catches last season, he is always hurt, and he averages 3 TDs a year. He is now the 11th highest paid TE in the league.
-It appears the Bears are in on Jackson, but the Jaguars and Raiders need to make a splash, so unless he really wants to play for Fox I think he takes the money elsewhere.
-I would like the Bears to lock down Trevathan, once that happens I think they can start slotting in solid pieces with him as the center piece.
-JR Sweezy is an upgrade for the Bears, but does not do a lot for me long term.
-Patrick Robinson would be a nice depth/nickle signing.
-Akiem Hicks would be a nice signing, but I am more interested in Jaye Howard.
-The CB market sounds a little crazy, here is hoping the Bears do not get trapped in it.

Mike was clear about Bears talking to Malik but not one of the two he said would be signed soon.

Mike also said the 2 signings that were done were a CB and DLmen.
If not Jackson, who is the DLmen?

How is Jackson is going to get 16 million a year and 50 million upfront? Unless Jackson had 15 sacks instead of 5, this is not possible. To be honest 11 million a year is the market for Jackson. If Jackson wants 16 million, I would rather move on to Howard or Williams.

J. R. Sweezy rumors swirling around.

Most likely Ian Williams or Akeim Hicks.

That would be my guess also. We still have Ego at DE, and Goldman, so if money goes to another MLB, a FS instead I'm happy enough though Jackson is a dominate chaos creating player that was part of the overwhelming front, Trevaithon existed in tandem to it, because everyone surrounding the MLBs was a pro bowl caliber player.

Bears have had reported interest in Nicks. Wouldn't be surprised if he is main DL guy they sign.

If Malik Jackson's contract action is any indicator then Travathan could end up being over priced as well for the Bears. I agree Sweezy does nothing for me. However I have real reservations about FA money for Patrick Robinson. Akiem Hicks seems quite possible but I still like Ian Williams chances of being a Bear over Jaye Howard who would also be a quality signing. Nfl.com describes Ian as similar to Damon Harrison only a better pass rusher. A Hicks Williams Eddie DL would be pretty interesting.

This is fine by me...let a team like the Jags or Raiders overpay for Malik Jackson. If anything this will allow us to be the front runner to land a value deal with someone else.

No, you said something snarky and sarcastic about his highly obfuscated posts, but you did it in a reply to me. If you wanted to be snarky to him why not just cut out the middle man?

Because you was pointing out that he said that the Bears were 100% interested in Jackson?
I mean, is it really necessary for me to explain this?

I just find it weird if they had Hicks signed [6-8 mil] that they would also still be in talks with Jackson. Were they going to spend 20 million on DLmen in free agency?
