damn....I think that option went out the window when we mortgaged the future and put all our chips on Allen.

Personally I will take Allen and what he does for a young safety, along with a young safety or two early in draft over Clemons and not Allen.

Emery has made a big bet, he nutted up and went with the Cowboy. That is his choice for impact for the next 2-3 years. If it fails he will be handcuffed, if it succeeds he will be here for a very long tim.e

The Texans offered safety Danieal Manning a pay cut earlier.

They may have just offered someone else his job.

According to Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com, the Texans are signing safety Chris Clemons to a two-year deal.

Clemons 28, had also visited the Lions, but hadn’t found much of a market to date.

The Texans signed Kendrick Lewis last week, to go with D.J. Swearinger and Shiloh Keo.

So there probably isn’t a spot for Manning and his $4.5 million salary, or perhaps at any rate.


So if the Texans cut Manning, does he come back to Chicago or does he go to Tampa?

ooohh....I'm sure he will consider Tampa, but that would be really good for us if we could get him back.

Id take back Manning with a deal taking into account some concern with his health.

There was plenty of money to sign Allen and Clemons. Clemons had really bad numbers against the run last year, so that might be why they never showed any interest.

Pat Sims was also re-signed by the Raiders, today, so that's another guy off the market.

Manning was in Lovie's doghouse.....woof

Tampa will soon learn about Lovie's doghouse.......they should call it "walking Lovie's plank" in Tampa

Now I'm thinking of finding an active Bucs board and trying to get it started.

Probably for the same reason DJ Moore who was allegedly in Lovie's doghouse is currently in Tampa.

What are you talking about mortgaged the future and put all our chips on Allen?

I thought weed was supposed to calm people down, not incite hysteria?

Its 2 years for 15 mil with options for 2 more at 8 mil each. Hardly mortgaging the future, especially when you consider how much the cap is going to increase the next couple years.

Its a great deal for the Bears. They get Allen and are only on the hook for 15 mil over 2 years.

Not even sure what this means. DJ Moore is currently in Tampa with Lovie despite allegedly being in his doghouse while in Chicago. So the point was I don't this doghouse thing matters at all. It's just shit fans say.

He got out of the doghouse. He'll be back shortly though.

players were in and out of Lovie's doghouse.....Corey Graham had his own monogrammed towels in the dog house's bathroom.

Fans didn't start the Lovie doghouse thing it was beat writers that did it. Because there was a dog house...most coaches have them. They don't like a player for one reason or another and they get in the dog house.......Lovie's Dog House just caught on here in Chicago pop football culture.

Which really wasn't the point. The point is this alleged doghouse is unlikely to stop Manning from signing with the Bucs if that's what he wants. Although they don't need a safety so not sure why he would be interested in going there anyway.

See above. The issue is not so much whether it exists but whether it would actually impact someone going to Tampa. It didn't stop Moore.

When debating with someone who likes to argue for the pure sake of argument, how many posts does it take before you are talking nonsense?
