Not really surprising since this is exactly what they did last time.
So, I assume they're going to want to hire a new offensive coordinator and then just give the job to Mike Tice since nobody in their right mind is going to want to pack up and take the job under these circumstances?

How much revenue can the Bears shift into other corporate entities to avoid sharing them with the NFL? That's a Wirtz thing, was wondering how much the NFL safeguards against it.

Packers director of football operations Reggie McKenzie will reportedly interview for the Raiders GM job on Wednesday.
As Profootballtalk points out, ex-Packers GM Ron Wolf is leading the Raiders' search and "strongly advocating" for McKenzie -- who would likely bring along Wolf's son, Eliot, Green Bay's assistant director of player personnel. Coach Hue Jackson's personnel power would then be muted, which should be music to the ears of Raiders fans. McKenzie is also viewed as a front-runner for the Bears' job.

So what happens when the new GM wants to draft a WR and Lovie wants to draft another crappy athletic defensive player, Ted Phillips gets the final say? After yesterday's press conference, the only thing I took out of it is that Ted Phillips is running the show. And that Lovie gets a say in a lot more things than he probably should. Which sucks.

This seems to be conventional wisdom, but I'm wondering why everyone thinks Lovie's so safe. If he shits the tub next year, I would think the GM would then be free to make a move, no? How much power does Lovie have if the Bears go 7-9 and now he's heading into his final year under a boss who didn't hire him? Is it not possible that the idea is to force Lovie out, but in a way that they don't have to pay him? Wouldn't a fresh 3 year deal to go back to Tampa be something that Lovie might have considered asking his agent about? Or something the Bears wouldn't be terribly broken-hearted about were it to happen?

But why even give lovie a chance? Just do what Ricketts did and say it's up the next GM to determine who stays.
I'm assuming Lovie has his hands all over that crappy drafts we've had with Angelo?
Lovie is certainly responsible for developing those players.
But you're probably right, let's give Lovie another shot to hire an offensive coordinator, and to lead the drafting of crappy players for another year to see how it plays out.

I have to guess this is Lovie's last chance. The McCaskey's don't want to pay both him and Angelo in addition to a new coach and GM, so he's got one more chance to win with his power clipped by a new GM.

During those five games I had no confidence whatsoever that any time the ball left Hanie's hands it would wind up in the hands of someone wearing a Bears' uniform. A completed pass was like a victory all by itself. A recovered fumble was a miracle.
Why don't they just make the whole plane out of Cutler?

According to a league source, the Bears have expressed interest in former NFL executive Ted Sundquist, a finalist for the job when Angelo was hired in 2001. Sundquist spent 16 years in the Broncos organization, including 2002-07 as the team's general manager, and was the man in charge when Denver selected Jay Cutler in the 2006 NFL draft.

Absolutely, let's replace Angelo with someone a search firm didn't think was as good as Angelo and hasn't been working in football for a while unless you count PFT which I don't. Although he did trade up to get Cutler, so there's that.

And wasn't Shanahan really the one in charge of the Broncos personnel at that point?
Anyway, I suggest Theo for GM. Might as well turn around two teams for the price of ten million dollars.

Nothing like neutering the new guy before you even hire him.
Not really surprising since this is exactly what they did last time.
So, I assume they're going to want to hire a new offensive coordinator and then just give the job to Mike Tice since nobody in their right mind is going to want to pack up and take the job under these circumstances?
Yep.

Because he's got 2 years left on a deal that makes him one of the top 10 highest paid coaches in the NFL? I assume this is also the reason he wasn't fired, the McClaskey Family wasn't going to pay somebody $10MM not to coach.

Lovie gets paid no matter what the next two years, I get it. But his long-range security hinges on next year, and he'll likely be done if they fail to make the playoffs. Seek a 3 year deal now in Tampa, when his value could leverage a better deal than he already has, and nobody gets hurt--least of all the McClaskeys, who will have fallen ass-backwards into a better situation in this scenario as the GM vacancy will have gotten a whole lot more desirable.

I don't see how it would benefit Lovie to walk away and take a job in Tampa. He's not going to get the same money, and he's in a place where ownership likes him to the point that it's been publicly stated that he'll have input into hiring the new GM. Yeah, he's going into a must win season, but the same could be said of last year and he did all right. Even if the Bears suck next year and he gets fired, I think Lovie's done enough in his time here that somebody in the NFL will give him a head coaching job.
So here's hoping the Bears go to the Super Bowl next year and in the ensuing offseason power struggle, Ted Phillips gets reassigned to be Mike McCaskey's house boy.

Ruskell has good relationships with head coach Lovie Smith, the assistant coaches and the scouting staff. He understands the team's schematic philosophies and the lay of the land. Retaining him would minimize change but still give the Bears a new voice and direction.

Two guys in charge of the offense has to be better than just one, right? And it seems to be working great in the front office where both Ted Phillips and George McCaskey are in charge at the same time. And don't forget when Bob Babich was the D coordinator and linebackers coach.

QuoteWho won the Super Bowl this year?
I missed it. I was told there was a big sporting event in Central Indiana the first weekend in February, so I watched it, and watched nothing else that weekend.

QuoteThe team that won it was the New York Giants.
Now, here's something I learned today. Did Fork learn this?
QuoteThe reason that the Giants won is that they have gotten the drift that you need a "team" to win, not "spot" great players who are more interested in themselves than the team or conversely a team that will not admit when a player is above average and should be rewarded such as Forte.
Soo... players should be more interested in the team than themselves, so not paying Forte should not be an issue. But the rest of the team (all of whom spoke out in favor of the Bears giving
Walter Payton Gale Sayers Bronco Nagurski Red Grange Matt Forte a big raise) should be worried about the rest of the individuals on the team, not the team itself?
Please pay no attention that the guy leading the Forte talks, Jerry Angelo, is now looking for a job.
QuoteThere were major injuries to Jay Cutler and Matt Forte. Now in addition to the financial aspect of the problem of the player's involvement there is a question no one knows the answer to and that is "How much have the injuries affected the players?"
Well, considering Forte was cleared to play in the Pro Bowl and Cutler is throwing the ball right now, I am going to guess they have affected them quite minimally. The question we really need to know is what happens if Cutler and Forte continue to rehab from their injury, and freak training table accidents paralyze them from the neck down.
QuoteIn the NFC the San Francisco 49ers not only showed team spirit and what it can do but some different forms of play brought in from college.

Lots of talk on the Twittertubes about a forthcoming monster offer to Mario Williams from the Bills.
Sounds like they're ready to make him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL.
I don't know exactly how that shakes out over the course of a long contract, the highest I see is Richard Seymour at $15 million/year, but that expires at the end of the season.
Nnamdi Asimugha's big deal last year was 5/$60 with $25 guaranteed.
Remaining: 2012: $11 million, 2013: $15 million, 2014-2015: $12 million.
EDIT:Or, I could just let the experts spell it out:
Quote from: Pro Football Talk
The Bills want to make Williams the highest-paid defensive player in the league, with a deal better than the six-year, $91.5 million contract that Julius Peppers signed with the Bears in 2010. The Bills' offer to Williams will apparently include more than $91.5 million in total money, more than the $40.5 million in the first three years that the Bears gave Peppers, and more than the $42 million guaranteed that the Bears gave Peppers.
BananaWorld cites Mike Lombardi indicating that the Bears are no longer pursuing, but I don't see that anywhere else.
EDIT 2:Except here:
Quote from: Mike Lombardi
Put the brakes on the speculation that Mario Williams would call Soldier Field home in 2012.
Chicago appears to have fallen out of the hunt for the star defensive end, with the cash-flush Buffalo Bills now appearing to have the upper hand.
After trading for WR Brandon Marshall earlier Tuesday, it's unclear if the Bears can afford Williams, who's expected to land a substantial contract.

A real backup QB?
I'm starting to get a half chubby whiskey dick.
Via PFT, Mario Williams won't sign tonight and will continue making visits. Can't believe the top free agent in this year's class still isn't sold on Buffalo.
If Mario's only concern is being the top paid defensive player, fine. He'd be a GAME CHANGER, but there are ways to upgrade the D for a lower price. If they're serious about LaRon Landry, that would be a welcome upgrade. Kelvin Hayden's another guy I've heard as a potential pick up for depth at corner, which would be good. I'm sad they didn't get Jeremy Mincey, because in lieu of Mario Williams he's a nice complementary player who would have been an upgrade over what Izzy did this year. I'm willing to see how this all plays out, because the Marshall deal was excellent, and given the he-said he-said, no gunplay involved nature of the standard "club altercation" I don't see a suspension coming out of that. Good start for Phil.

QuoteAt around 4 a.m., birthday girl Christin Myles, 24, left an upper floor of the posh hot spot to greet a friend downstairs.
When she tried to get back upstairs, a bouncer told her she had to wait because there was a fight between two football players — Marshall, 27, and an unknown athlete — who were being thrown out, the sources said.
She later met up with her friends, who by then were arguing with Marshall and the other football player outside, sources said.
Marshall — who earned his nickname with his aggressive style of play — then allegedly cold-cocked Myles in the left eye. She suffered a black eye. It wasn't clear if he allegedly intended to strike her or one of her pals.
Myles filed a police report Monday with the 10th Precinct against Marshall, sources said. She told cops she waited a day before making the allegation because she was nervous about Marshall's high-profile status.
Marshall's lawyer denied that the first fight involved his client or his friends.
"While attempting to leave to avoid the melee, [Marshall's wife] was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury," the lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, said. "The mayhem continued outside.''

Are we sure LaRon Landry can even function as a normal human (http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/34961902) anymore?

Jay Glazer says Brandon Marshall's story checks out. I trust him.
Is it just me or is Brad Biggs accelerating his transition from informative beat writer to writer of retarded commentary?

Something snapped in Biggsy sometime around 2009 that turned him into the Fat Rick Morrissey of the "Man, the Bears Always Do Everything Wrong" wrong crowd.

QuoteOn March 12, 2012, Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York. After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club. While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends. While attempting to leave to avoid the melee Mrs. Marshall was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury. While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Finally Mr. Marshall was able to take his wife to the hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter.
It's clear that Marshall was only in the melee to get directions away from the melee.

Hey, I was applauding both the Marshall deal and the Campbell deal earlier.
Even the McCown deal.
Granted, this was before Marshall punched some broad in the face, but considering he has like 16 police interactions in the last 4 years, it's not exactly surprising.

Because for a guy who's been suspended once by the league and twice by his team, it seems reasonable to assume that he might get suspended again.

Dan Bernstein pulled a Zawaski claiming a credible Bears source says the Bears had no idea of this incident until after the trade was finalized. Of course, Zawaski's sources were right about Toews' concussion and the Bears also had no idea that Sam Hurd was slanging monoliths of cocaine.
I guess my point here is I don't give a shit. He's a football player and I hope he plays 16 games. I'm with SKO in thinking that he will.
I saw a lady tweet about needing to find a new team since the Bears support a lady puncher. That might be true but you probably shouldn't be watching sports ever again if that's the criteria for choosing your team. There's probably more than one lady puncher on every NFL team. These guys are by and large absolute fucking morons.

We gonna talk about Marshall's lady punching?
http://chicago.sbnation.com/chicago-bears/2012/3/14/2870041/brandon-marshall-wife-club-incident-nfl-2012
QuoteOn March 12, 2012, Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York. After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club. While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends. While attempting to leave to avoid the melee Mrs. Marshall was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury. While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Finally Mr. Marshall was able to take his wife to the hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter.
It's clear that Marshall was only in the melee to get directions away from the melee.

"We were outside that limo, so that's probably why they shot at that limo," Marshall said. "If I didn't act rowdy outside the club? It probably wouldn't have happened."
Why ya gotta be such a buzzkill?
Hey, I was applauding both the Marshall deal and the Campbell deal earlier.
Even the McCown deal.
Granted, this was before Marshall punched some broad in the face, but considering he has like 16 police interactions in the last 4 years, it's not exactly surprising.
You don't even know what she said to him yet. Let's see how this plays out.
I'm still betting this won't end in a suspension. Doesn't sound like there's enough hard evidence to actually charge him with anything, so I doubt it goes through.
This incident or this tenure with the Bears?
Because for a guy who's been suspended once by the league and twice by his team, it seems reasonable to assume that he might get suspended again.
Dan Bernstein pulled a Zawaski claiming a credible Bears source says the Bears had no idea of this incident until after the trade was finalized. Of course, Zawaski's sources were right about Toews' concussion and the Bears also had no idea that Sam Hurd was slanging monoliths of cocaine.
I guess my point here is I don't give a shit. He's a football player and I hope he plays 16 games. I'm with SKO in thinking that he will.
I saw a lady tweet about needing to find a new team since the Bears support a lady puncher. That might be true but you probably shouldn't be watching sports ever again if that's the criteria for choosing your team. There's probably more than one lady puncher on every NFL team. These guys are by and large absolute fucking morons.
Even though my high horse has a permanent impression of my ass on it...THIS.
There's a big difference between rooting for a team as a whole and thinking that each individual is a role model and someone you'd be proud to know.
This is why throwback jerseys are always the best options.
Assuming you're some jersey-wearing assclown.

I will admit that, in my escape from football post Cutler-injury I did not realize just how incredibly fast Vontaze had dropped on everyone's boards. He'd still be worth their #2. Raw talent there, even if he's batshit crazy.

I saw a lady tweet about needing to find a new team since the Bears support a lady puncher. That might be true but you probably shouldn't be watching sports ever again if that's the criteria for choosing your team. There's probably more than one lady puncher on every NFL team. These guys are by and large absolute fucking morons.
Even though my high horse has a permanent impression of my ass on it...THIS.
There's a big difference between rooting for a team as a whole and thinking that each individual is a role model and someone you'd be proud to know.
This is why throwback jerseys are always the best options.
Assuming you're some jersey-wearing assclown.

It's a Miami (OH) jersey from back when he was pure as an Ohio snow.
I sometimes wear it to the bathroom.
Allegedly.

We gonna talk about Marshall's lady punching?
http://chicago.sbnation.com/chicago-bears/2012/3/14/2870041/brandon-marshall-wife-club-incident-nfl-2012
QuoteOn March 12, 2012, Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York. After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club. While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends. While attempting to leave to avoid the melee Mrs. Marshall was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered serious injury. While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Finally Mr. Marshall was able to take his wife to the hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter.
It's clear that Marshall was only in the melee to get directions away from the melee.
Something something snarky comment. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1184186/1/index.htm)
Quote
"We were outside that limo, so that's probably why they shot at that limo," Marshall said. "If I didn't act rowdy outside the club? It probably wouldn't have happened."
Why ya gotta be such a buzzkill?
Hey, I was applauding both the Marshall deal and the Campbell deal earlier.
Even the McCown deal.
Granted, this was before Marshall punched some broad in the face, but considering he has like 16 police interactions in the last 4 years, it's not exactly surprising.
You don't even know what she said to him yet. Let's see how this plays out.
I'm still betting this won't end in a suspension. Doesn't sound like there's enough hard evidence to actually charge him with anything, so I doubt it goes through.
This incident or this tenure with the Bears?
Because for a guy who's been suspended once by the league and twice by his team, it seems reasonable to assume that he might get suspended again.
Dan Bernstein pulled a Zawaski claiming a credible Bears source says the Bears had no idea of this incident until after the trade was finalized. Of course, Zawaski's sources were right about Toews' concussion and the Bears also had no idea that Sam Hurd was slanging monoliths of cocaine.
I guess my point here is I don't give a shit. He's a football player and I hope he plays 16 games. I'm with SKO in thinking that he will.

This is shaping up as the best Bears offseason ever including the Cutler one because that one included a lot dumbassary at nearly every other position. This makes the team better:

Can someone tell me how this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57orlqf_SUk) turned out? The Googles pointed me here, but I don't have 20 minutes to spare.
14-10 Raiders in the 3rd. McMahon fumbles in the red zone but the Bears sack/strip Stabler and get it right back. Three plays later, Payton puts the beloved on top with a nine-yard scamper. Butthead makes it 17-14. The Bears D sacks Stabler three times in the fourth.
After 66-yard Ray Guy punt, McMahon throws a pick returned inside the Bears' five. Stabler hits Bradshaw for a TD on the first play. 21-17, Raiders. 7 minutes left.
McMahon, Suhey and Payton lead the Bears down to the Raiders 27, where they face a 4th and 2 with 3:01 left. Ditka goes for it: Payton is stopped short by Jack Tatum (fuck you).
Stabler connects on a deep pass play for a TD to ice it.
I don't understand this Kurt Evans simulation at all. In fact, I don't know how he managed to put it all together with Ken Stabler's dong hanging out of his mouth.

At least they managed to find Guy hiding on the sidelines and convince him to go into the game.

The simulation running in my head had was Kenny Stabler being hauled to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, then the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, as the Raiders hustle to bring back George Blanda.

As long as he doesn't deal copious mounds of coke, good signing.
QuoteThe wideout has made his biggest impact in the NFL on special teams. He recovered two key fumbles for New York in last season's NFC championship game versus the San Francisco 49ers.

I admit that I thought he was a special player when he was at Michigan State. But, then, I am a noted football tard. He can clearly return/cover a kick though, by cracky.

Solid special teams player. Still has good size and speed for a wide receiver. Certainly worth taking a look at as a wideout, since it's hard to judge wide receivers on their production with the Redskins (see Lloyd, Brandon) and he was buried behind guys like Cruz, Nicks, and Manningham in New York. I'd look at this purely as a special teams signing, though.

Quick, SKO... Tell me what to think of Devin Thomas.
Solid special teams player. Still has good size and speed for a wide receiver. Certainly worth taking a look at as a wideout, since it's hard to judge wide receivers on their production with the Redskins (see Lloyd, Brandon) and he was buried behind guys like Cruz, Nicks, and Manningham in New York.

Kelvin Hayden, of the Pick 6 off Grossman in the Super Bowl, is now a Bear.
So, only a few months until Bearbonnais!!

At the risk of BC-ish anguish, it seemed as though the football Gods were giving me a giant fuck you, as I remember distinctly Hayden's senior year at Illinois, Ron Turner converted him from wideout to DB (he did still catch a game winning TD pass against Indiana, Illinois' only Big Ten win that year). Had Ron left him at WR, Kelvin would have gone undrafted, but he was a second round pick at corner, and there to intercept Rex on a pass play called by Ron Turner.
Anyway, Hayden sucked horseballs last year for the Falcons but they aren't a Cover 2 scheme and he wasn't healthy. If he is healthy, this is an excellent move for depth and a potential fallback if Tillman gets hurt or Jennings falters.
The Bears also signed Jonathan Wilhite, another corner, but that has special teams written all over it.
I'm liking Phil Emery a lot. Anyone else?
Eh... Tim Shaw got away. I don't know.

Oh don't even get me started with how Turner dicked around with Christian Morton as well. It was ridiculous.

Reggie Wayne was also in that first round. As was Santana Moss. Damn you, Mark Hatley.
None of this changes the fact that David Terrell as the slot receiver in Madden 2003 just destroyed people. If you ran a corner post with him no nickel in the world could stop him.

I totally forgot that Mark Hatley was dead. The other day I said something about him running the Cardinals. I meant Rod Graves, but I'm sure TEC might prefer Mark Hatley.
I'd also like to positive the Bears signing Chilo Rachal. In 2010 he was rated as the best run-blocking guard in all of football. He tends to have mental lapses at time in pass blocking, but despite the 49ers fans saying "LOL he is the WURST" wasn't that poorly rated in that department. It appears his benching last year may have been a case of the 49ers undervaluing certain aspects of his game or overblowing a few of his mistakes. Either way, he's young, huge, a good runblocker, and adds good depth on the interior for a veteran minimum. If he ends up being an Omiyale-type guy then you just cut him because you didn't sign a guy who wasn't even a starter to a four year deal worth 11.5 million.
I'm trying not to overreact before the draft, but it seems that Emery has some idea of how to run a football team.

I'm interested in seeing if they pick up a Tackle in the draft. They've got a lot of depth on the interior, since C. Williams, E. Williams, Louis, Garza, Spencer, and Rachal can all play either guard position and Garza and Spencer can both play center.
Only Carimi, Webb, and Williams can really play tackle (Louis was better than expected at RT for most of the year, but just doesn't project there at all in the future), and we don't actually know yet if any of them can really play tackle all that well, although Webb was not as bad as his numbers for most of the year.
They've discussed giving Williams a shot at kicking back out to left tackle, which is a total crapshoot. Everyone calls him a bust at left tackle, but he's only made 5 starts there, and he played well in the 3 he started there in 2009.

None of these guys was a high-priced free agent sent in to bludgeon the bejebus out of opponents and immediately cut the bullshit toleration half in two a la Olin Kreutz. Emstink is terrible. McCaskets are cheap. Just another player for Lovie to ruin like Tommie Harris. Hester aint no receiver. Cover Who? Repeat repeat repeat...

I don't know, this whole "depth" thing is new and foreign and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel.
I'm interested in seeing if they pick up a Tackle in the draft. They've got a lot of depth on the interior, since C. Williams, E. Williams, Louis, Garza, Spencer, and Rachal can all play either guard position and Garza and Spencer can both play center.
Only Carimi, Webb, and Williams can really play tackle (Louis was better than expected at RT for most of the year, but just doesn't project there at all in the future), and we don't actually know yet if any of them can really play tackle all that well, although Webb was not as bad as his numbers for most of the year.
They've discussed giving Williams a shot at kicking back out to left tackle, which is a total crapshoot. Everyone calls him a bust at left tackle, but he's only made 5 starts there, and he played well in the 3 he started there in 2009.
Could you please translate this into meatball so I know what to be angry about?
NICE JOB DERE BY FIL EBONY TO PICK UP A GUY DAT DA 49ERS DINNIT EVNE WARNT!
DERE GONNA LET CHRIS WILLEM AND HIS CRAPPY BACK COMPEET WIH JAMIROQUAI AT LEFT TACKLE? WHY AINT DEY JUS PAVE AN EXPRESSWAY RIT INTO DA BACKFIELD. SURE WONT BE MUCH TRAFFIC IN DERE WAY UNLIKE DA LSD.
Yours is better.
Don't sell yourself short (something something Oleg)... yours was solid. Emstink is terrible!
The Bears have now agreed to terms with Geno Hayes as well. Terrible last year (as was every other Buc, though) but graded out very high in 2009 and 2010 and is just 24. Will compete with Roach, who played much better than most people realize last year, and is depth at all three LB positions. These moves make too much sense. This is unsettling.
I just like that all of the bargain shopping Emery has done (Devin Thomas, Chilo Rachal, Geno Hayes, Kelvin Hayden) are all guys that the team doesn't Need as starters to be successful, but all of them would be upgrades if they recovered their 2010 or 2009 form, and are at worst better backups than what they had before. It's not like signing Roy Williams or Omiyale and immediately handing them starting jobs at positions where the team needs clear upgrades right away. Also, everyone of them is on the right side of the 30.
Update: Despite a bad 2011 (-11.9), Hayes is still at a +7.9 from PFF for his career and he's only 24. He'll play the SLB position in Chicago, rather than the more difficult (and more exposed in coverage) WLB, so this is a great move to add competition for Roach.

I don't think he will. Given Marshall's history the NFL already investigated the matter and the police thoroughly investigated the matter and came up with nothing indicating any wrongdoing on his part. Considering Marshall's clean rap sheet over the last couple of years and his advocacy of mental health treatment (kind of a hot button issue for the NFL right now) I expect him to walk away from this without a suspension of any kind.

Agreed. He was mostly injured and over time he collided into some ugly incidents--some of which, in all honesty, he could and should have dealt with better on his own end but what the fuck. If it weren't for his wobbly knees we'd be comparing his career to Dan Hampton's by now.

Four years, 32 million. Good deal for Forte and the team. He gets more than he'd have gotten on the tag but the Bears didn't exactly break the bank. Nowhere near the Peterson/Chris Johnson deals.

This season's going to have to be one giant clusterfuck for me to drain the bank of goodwill that Phil Emery's built up this offseason. Christ, I spent years defending Angelo for being "not as bad as people says he is" only to see that one offseason with a real, ballsy general manager has completely dispelled that illusion.
DPD. Forte got 18 mil guaranteed. Less than Arian Foster and McCoy. Good deal.

Just for reference, recent contracts:
Jason Bay - 4 years, $66 million
Francisco Cordero - 4 years, $46 million
Brian Robers - 4 years, $40 million
Jake Peavy - 3 years, $52 million
The closest contract to Forte is Alexei Ramirez's 4 year/$32.5 million deal (100% guaranteed of course, so maybe it's really a different conversation) who's roughly the 15th best SS in MLB.

Also, did Matt Forte run over Hub's dog? He's been crapping on this contract and the intangible concept of a Forte contract for like a year, or am I thinking of someone else?
