I say don't put in the claim. That's not to say you don't try to get him, but if he falls to the Bears, that means only 2 teams are after them. From what I've gathered, if they put in the claim, then they must pay him the $2.6 million. The Packers and Niners won't grab him. After he clears, he is a free agent, and sign him for less than that $2.6 million price point
`

Would the Packers spend the $2.6 million to grab him in order to keep the Bears from signing him?

I doubt it.  For all the bitching that coaches and GMs do about how limited their roster space is, I don't see Green Bay releasing somebody so they can use one of those spots just to keep a backup QB away from the Bears.

And then when Rodgers is knocked out for the season, it's Orton vs Hanie for all the Christmas cookies in the Bears Backups Bowl.

"Plummer, in 1999, "contributed" 1,017 fewer yards to the Cardinals than the league average QB would have brought to the table. As far as modern seasons go, Plummer's '99 stands as the worst."

Dallas also put in a claim, and that was more of a "fuck you" move as they cearly would have claimed him just to keep him from the Bears.

The Bears have games left at home against KC and Seattle. They have Denver, Oakland and Minnesota on the road (and Green Bay). The defense and special teams should be good enough to win a few of those games. Finishing 3-3 gets them to 10 wins and a pretty good shot at the playoffs.

Cutler is supposed to miss 6-8 weeks. The wild-card round starts in 7 weeks. All is well.

Super Bears, Super Bowl.


You're an idiot.
