Hotel room created.

Hmmm... more work than I was willing to do. Thanks!

From ESPN.com:

According to an NFL personnel evaluator whose team has discussed the possibility of going after Hester, the former Pro Bowl return specialist is currently seeking a deal in the $4-million-per-year range. "

I love how the Vick/Schaub debate gets derided (even though it is stupid) but you all have no problem turning the football thread into the Chicago Bears Discussion Thread.

Drew Brees disagrees with Sava.

"I think a Darren Sproles only comes around once in your lifetime, in my career and in everybody's career," Brees said Monday, via Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo. "There may be another one 15, 20 years from now. But there's not many guys like Darren Sproles. He's a special player, he's a special person, he's a special teammate."

A close inspection of Sproles' career to date suggests Brees wasn't engaging in hyperbole.

An exploitable mismatch against linebackers and safeties, Sproles has been the most effective receiving back since Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk was in his prime over a decade ago. Sproles also holds the NFL record for most all-purpose yards (2,696) in a single season, evidence of his value as a dangerous kick returner.

Chicago Bears are a football team. Vick/Schaub was fine as long as it was regular football, but once it became fantasy is not.

Anyway, mocking Devin Hester's agent should be something every football fan shares in

[Al B. Sure!]

27 of the 95 posts in this thread so far have been about the Chicago Bears or a recently released former Bear.


So many posts about a team that hasn't made the playoffs in four years.

The Bucs was a nice change of pace but that was only a topic of conversation because Lovie's the coach and McCown's the QB.


Meanwhile in the rest of the NFL...

- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will undergo ankle surgery Wednesday to repair an issue that has lingered since the end of the season.

Cowboys acquire former 1st round pick Brandon Weeden.

Romo on his way out, Sloww?

Henry Melton signs with Dallas.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie signs with the New York Giants. The Giants haven't had a talent CB in I don't know how long.

[snoopy369]

And they still don't. {badump-tish} I'll be here all night.

[snoopy369]

Henry Melton signs with Dallas.

I think I'm okay with that, although I would've liked to see him re-sign here for a discount. At full price, he's just not worth it; most of his stats came from Peppers being next to him. This team now needs depth, not stars, on the D-line.

uhm

errr

nevermind

Drew Brees disagrees with Sava.

Lies and mistruths.

Seahawks are quiet. Kinda weird to not be excited about free agency in a year where you're really invested, unlike last year where the FA was fun.

I must admit, I feel sorry for all those heavily devalued RBs. Tough sledding for some talented athletes.
