Looks like we got Michael Bennett

[Bones40]

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*

I tried to understand this...I just don't get it.

wut.

I tried to understand this...I just don't get it.

he's saying nobody wants to come here because our team sucks

I went crazy with it a few posts up.

Ha. I was typing when you posted that. Good stuff.

Its a mock account of a negotiation between the bears and a FA.

Oh, how silly.

 

[Desperado34]

It's all negotiation tactics fellas . Who knows in truth where he is signing.. Legally he can't sign til tomorrow right?

Correctamundo - with us or anyone else not named the Seattle Seahawks.

I think Bennett stays with Seattle.

Having said that, getting Michael Johnson would likely be as good. Johnson has more game changing ability than Bennett in my opinion. I don't think Cincy is the best place to develop as a player either.

I think Wootton can put up similar numbers as what Bennett would do here for a few million less (provided he is a full-time DE and not playing out of position).

Unless it is the hawks. That could be done right now.

Jason LaCanfora - You have a hard time finding execs who do not believe that Michael Bennett is leaving Seattle to join his brother, Martellus, in Chicago. And Bennett would come at about half the price of Julius Peppers, who still looks like a pending cash-and-cap casualty in Chicago.

hmm didn't know that, thanks for clarifying.

Personally, I think it says a lot about Michael if he's gonna blow off playing with his own brother who's dream its been since a kid to play on the same team as his brother.. Kinda sad n disappointing if you ask me; I know if be hurt n pissed off my brother turned down a good offer to play professionally with me..

Like I said, def seems Martellus wants to play together more than michael

 

[r1terrell23]

Michael Bennett said he wants the suspense and drama. He doesn't want everyone knowing he's coming to Chicago or his big free agency will be boring.

 

[EDUB316]

I think/hope Mike is trying to get every last dollar from the Bears before he ultimately leaves. According to that report, the Bears are offering 8.5 mil along with more playing time than he would get in Seattle. So he probably wants closer to 9 mil/yr?

We shall see.
If I were Bennett, I would sign back with whatever panic offer seattle comes up with when FA starts.
He will probably get a 9 mill offer last minute.
And If I am him, It would take a significant amount of money to leave the seattle d.... Who wouldnt want that to be their legacy?

 

[fatbeard]

They're trying to get the Bears up to 9mil. That's what I thought it would cost to get Bennett even before the SB run, back when the homers were saying he'd take a discount to play with his brother.

basically saying what I said in the later part of my post earlier..
