Looks like we got Michael Bennett

[WindyCity]

He is quoting 2 team sources from the team.

PFT is picking it up.

When there is smoke, something probably is on fire, when there is tons of smoke brings s'mores.

I'll say this. Some team is going to get Peppers on a really good deal imo once CHI releases him.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

We thought Mario Williams was a Bear too.....

While I do believe Michael Bennett will be a Bear- this article means nothing.

Who's "we?" Never heard ANY Bear fan that thought we had Mario Williams locked up.

 

[L GUAPO]

I think a great WR #4/KR Ford from the Raiders would be an absolute BEAST! Such a sleeper. Would be a good Hester replacement

It wasn't Bear fans, there was a few reports saying it looked like Mario was coming to CHI.

Strike 2 Emery

wasn't it LaCanfora saying he got the "feeling" the Bears were getting him? I don't remember that having as much legs as this but we'll see.

Don't discount the Bears bringing him back if he gets released.

 

[Sagbear]

I think we got Him. But I'm interested to see who else we are Going to sign and I also want to bring back Melton. If we get both Melton and Bennett this Defense will look much better.

Brother to brother...please

"Come on Bennett....quit screwing around and let da girl go! It's me you want! Come on Bennett....put away the chicken-shit gun......LET'S PARTY!"

I had my doubts about our ability to win the bidding war for him, but some factors in life are far more valuable than cash: a plea from Guano.

Done deal!

 

[Les Grossman]

I don't see that as very likely. He'd be more likely to go to a team like SEA honestly, where he could be in a rotation on a great defense and chance to get a ring.

 

[Pegger]

I actually think he'd be a great 5 Tech in a 3-4.

If we cut Peppers (which I assume will happen) I can see us bringing in another d lineman and a starting caliber safety.

He will be gone. The DE market is totally inflated. Peppers will get an overpriced deal somewhere.

Ya but he could also be playing next to Gerald McCoy with Lovie Smith as his HC, while earning more money.

Vikings?

they are both 3 techs aren't they?

 

[Pegger]

Gotta wonder what that contract looks like. With two days to go and other teams are walking away from the table. Going to have to wait two days, but I wonder if it resembles the Peppers contract from 4 years ago.

 

[BigShoulders]

Vikings?

They've inflated it, but it would have been anyway because of the paucity of DEs.

I'm not sure where he'll go, but it will likely be a multiple year deal with $6mil guaranteed, more than the Bears will offer.
