No big surprises so far, based on what's being reported at least. Bears and Trevathan is a no brained. Pretty obvious for a while Jackson was going to be to pricey. Bears looking at the 2nd tier d-lineman(who really aren't that much worse then Jackson) and looking at bargain players around the defense.

Yup, I really didn't want Malik for 15m/yr (which is what he got, rumored). That's insane.

No big surprise here but per source: #Bears close to a deal w/ ILB Danny Trevathan. Expected to be a 4+ year deal. Figures not yet known.


YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'll be excited when someone like Schefter or Rap reports it.

Bears interested in Malik Jackson

It's a 6-year deal for the #Jaguars and DT Malik Jackson. He'll sign when the league year opens tomorrow.

Can't wait to see those numbers I bet it's ridiculous and I'm glad we didn't way overpay. Yeah he is a stud but he isn't that top guy difference maker at least I don't think so.

Yeah good point but what better place to finish a career but in Miami Florida??

I mean he'll certainly be retired by 35, he can spend as much time wherever he wants after that. If he can, he's going to a contender, in my opinion. The Patriots make a lot of sense from both sides.

Rapoport -The #Giants are expected to keep Jason Pierre-Paul, source said. It's a 1-year deal. He turned down more money elsewhere.

God I hope not. I love Forte, and will root for him wherever he goes besides Green Bay. I can't stand the idea of him playing for the Packers.

ESPN sucks so take it for what it's worth:

The early numbers on Malik Jackson are 6 years 90 million/40 guaranteed

No way Pace could stay on the dance floor. That is a huge commitment.

Man, that would suck. Was the risk when we let him go though.
