Let them pay an elite safety price for an above average safety. Give me Earl Thomas in the draft. I don't care, just give me Earl Thomas.

The only reason the Bears are going ape wild in free agency is because they don't have a 1st or 2nd round pick.

 

[TheCount]

Oh well. Onto the draft!

Tampering anyone? It ain't FA yet..... Bears running themselves into trouble.

The Bears and any other team are allowed to talk with Rolle. He was released.

My bad, didn't see that yet.... I was still under the impression that he wasn't released yet.... I knew he was going to didn't know it was official yet.

Just saw it's rumored his asking price is $8M a year. No thank you.

Yup he was released earlier today. He's an above average safety but he does NOT deserve more money per year than Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu.

Really? The Bears?

Watever Antrel!

You could be on a superbowl calibur team starting making 4 mil but you want to play with trashy Cutler in below zero weather

Your choice!

R u serious about having a chance to get Earl Thomas in the draft?

Yeah not for $8M a year..... No thanks

The top 3 safeties will be gone by the time we pick. We'd have to trade up to snag any of them.

i'm sure him and his agent will field other offers. If he signs with Chicago by tonight or tomorrow than we were better off not signing him since it would be clear his #1 priority was $$$.

Agree.

Um, yes I am? Remember how we had no shot at Steven Jackson? Well we did. Stranger things have happened in the draft. If Earl Thomas makes it to #20, trade up for him.

Wow. I agree exactly. I don't think I've agreed with Rampage since 2008.

I agree, b/c if he wants a ring then he should come here for less $

[Rampage]

Wow. I agree exactly. I don't think I've agreed with Rampage since 2008.
