Rex has had somethin in mind since mid season last year. Could it be Dawan Landry the big guy is angling for ?
Yeah. Maybe a slot receiver AND get like a 3rd rounder along with it if possible. And then draft a safety with that pick.
The Bears have already begun contract negotiations with free agent FS Antrel Rolle. It's been just hours since the Cardinals released him, to the Bears are getting down to business promptly. Ideally, they'll have Rolle signed up before the free agent market opens at midnight ET, and be able to turn their attention to DE Julius Peppers at that point. According to the Chicago Tribune, a deal with Rolle "could be in place within the next few hours Hope the bears dont swoop him up before we get to ever try
I know.. i gotta a bear fan in my apartment right now and hes doing fucking backflips at the thought of getting rolle AND peppers in the same night...
If he was cut then I believe they can go after him now. The tampering issue is only when a player is still under contract with another team whose contract will be expiring at midnight. If he's cut, I'm pretty sure anyone can sign him now. But I could be mistaken :wink:
If Rolle does go to the Bears, do we instantly have to raise our price on Rhodes ? I mean a 3rd for Rhodes kinda sucks when we dont have a filler. Maybe a 2nd or a 3rd/5th or something would work, but without Rolle wed really just be shooting ourselves in the foot.
i don't think we could get a 3rd for rhodes.between the labor unrest ,overall depth of the draft and the economics what they are right now most teams would rather have the dragt picks.the only teams tat are gonna spend money are chicago,who don't have a first or second round pick and washington,dan snyder enough said. Maybe Arizona unloads boldin and then comes calling but right now i'm betting we see rhodes in green and white in 2010
I think the 3rd for Rhodes is just speculation, and is not necessarily what we are asking for. I think the only way we get rid of Rhodes is if we find a replacement for him before the draft not named Eric Smith
