I was thinking Peppers would have been cut by now if they were going to cut him. But I just read that it has to be done tomorrow in order to be designated June 1

They're not going to cut Peppers until they have a replacement signed. No need to.

****! I did. No Mary Poppins for me then!

I went ahead and drew this out to its logical conclusion due to my OCD. I know that I'm missing a couple. I know there's a set of half-brothers who have different last names, but I can't remember who it is.

We're pretty weak at running back and we need some wide receivers. Other than that, we're in good shape.

An excessive amount of quarterbacks, but the offensive linemen are particularly talented.


QB — Peyton Manning
RB — Bryce Brown
WR — ?
WR — ?
TE — Vernon Davis
LT — Matt Kalil
LG — Kyle Long
C — Ryan Kalil
RG — Geoff Schwartz
RT —Jake Long

LDE — Chandler Jones
NT — Kwame Geathers
DT — Arthur Jones
RDE — Michael Bennett
SLB — Clay Matthews
MLB — Casey Matthews
WLB — Arthur Brown
FS — Devin McCourty
SS — LaRon Landry
CB — Jason McCourty
CB — Vontae Davis


Bench
QB — Eli Manning
QB — Bruce Gradkowski
QB — Josh McCown
QB — Luke McCown
QB — Carson Palmer
QB — Jordan Palmer
TE — Martellus Bennett
TE — Travis Kelce
T — Joe Long
T — Mitchell Schwartz
C — Jason Kelce
G/C — Gino Gradkowski
G/C — Maurkice Pouncey
G/C — Mike Pouncey
G — John Jerry

DE — Chris Long

Bennett’s playing time will be a factor in his negotiations

The Seahawks played it cool with defensive end Michael Bennett. Once the Bears leaked that they “expect” to sign Bennett, the Seahawks woke up.

Now, the Seahawks have jumped into the bidding, in an effort to close the deal.

It’ll be intriguing to see what Bennett ultimately gets. There are reports that the Bears have offered $8.5 million per year, and that the Seahawks are willing to pay $8 million per year. That’s a bargain, given that the Vikings signed defensive end Everson Griffin to a five-year deal worth $8.5 million annually.

(He’s the same Everson Griffen who has started one career game. And who once was moved to linebacker for offseason workouts before moving back to defensive end in training camp. And who has a history of off-field issues.)

Still, Bennett was nearly a part-time player in 2013, participating in 57 percent of the snaps. Based on how the Seahawks used him and presumably how they plan to in 2014 and beyond, $8 million could be a very fair number — especially if the Bears will expect a lot more than 57-percent playing time for $8.5 million per year.

So now we wait, with the Seahawks having the ability for another 26 hours or so to not just negotiate but to make offers and to talk to the player directly and to get a deal done before Bennett can even go to Chicago.

I can't remember who Whitner is.

Strong safety from the 49ers. 29 years old. Former eighth overall pick. Hits really hard ("Hitner"). Occasionally draws big fines for it. Durable. Proably the third-best free agent safety behind Byrd and Ward.

You forgot about Chris Long. And Jake Long (his brother, Joe Long, is also on the Bears roster). Then, we could have signed the Schwartz brothers to play guard and tackle. And the Kalil brothers to play center and the other tackle spot.

We might be able to field a team of these if we try hard enough.

Edit: That's way too many offensive tackles.

Bears also have Carson Palmer's brother. And Josh McCown's brother Luke is in the NFL.

QB- Mannings, McCowns, Palmers
FB- Chris Grontkowski
RB-
TE- Martellus Bennett, Vernon Davis, Rob Grontkowski
WR- SAmmy Watkins,
OT- Matt Kalil, Jake Long
OG- Kyle Long,
C- Ryan Kalil, Pounceys

DE- Chandler Jones, Michael Bennett, Chris Long
DT- Athur Jones, Jonathan Babineaux
LB- Clay Matthews III,
CB- Vontae Davis, JAylen Watkins
S- Devin McCourty, Laron and Dawan Landry

P- Britton Colquitt (brother also a P)

Can't think of any RBs off the top, but that's a helluva team.

DE Michael Bennett definitely is leaning toward staying with the Seahawks, per league source. Decision could come today.

Bears : We have fielded an opening day roster with elite defenders.
FA suitor: Yeah how u do and what happened to them?
Bears: We were terrible, we're looking to stick with that coordinator. Our tops guys ended on IR.
FA Suitor: *nervously gathers his things and leaves room*
