The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been pretty clear that they don’t have TE Kellen Winslow, Jr. in their plans. It’s already been reported that they were trying to trade him to the Chicago Bears this past offseason, but the Bears were more interested in getting Brandon Marshall So now, the Bucs will probably take anything [...]
The more you hear about Chicago Bears newly acquired WR Brandon Marshall, the more you realize why the Miami Dolphins couldn’t wait to flip him and get him out of their hair. I don’t know that this incident is directly related to his trade yesterday, but I’m sure it had something to do with it. [...]
It’s easy for fans to focus on their teams getting big-name, big-ticket free agents soon after the signing period begins. After all, it’s fun and you want your squad to bring that dominant guy (at whatever position) who is going to make a huge impact. But, many times it’s the smaller names that are brought [...]
Almost as elusive for the Chicago Bears as the franchise QB (depending on what you think of Jay Cutler), has been that elite wide receiver. They kind of thought they were getting that with Roy Williams but we know how that turned out. So, they are going to take a shot with another attitudinal guy [...]
There was an article today in the Chicago Tribune that mentioned that Bears WR Roy Williams led the wideout core this season with 600 snaps. That’s kind of surprising since it seemed like he was never on the field. He ended the season with 37 receptions, which is pretty poor. Now, he’s a free agent [...]
One of the big contract stories this season has been that of Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte. Still playing on his rookie deal, everyone knows that he’s far outplayed that second-round contract from 2008. Stevie Wonder could see that. Forte, despite being underpaid on the last year of his deal, went out like a good [...]
Now things are getting interesting. As if an NFL player getting busted as a major Chicago drug kingpin isn’t interesting enough. Now, a law enforcement source tells 670 The Score in Chicago that police have a list of NFL players who bought drugs from recently arrested Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd. Oh boy! And the [...]
It’s not rare for an athlete to get caught with drugs. It’s not rare for them to get caught doing drugs. But, having a dimebag of weed in your pocket at a club is not the same as what Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd is charged with doing. Nope, Hurd has been arrested on federal [...]
For all of you who have ridden Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte to many fantasy wins this season, you won’t be happy. Nope, heading into your playoffs, the last thing you need is for Forte to get hurt. And that’s what has happened. Forte got banged on the knee by Kansas City Chiefs LB Derrick [...]
There have been several reports out in the wake of the Denver Broncos releasing Kyle Orton that the Chicago Bears would claim him off of waivers. That’s fine, and we actually believe the reports. The problem? The Bears are 30th in line. That means that just about any team in the league not named the [...]
Good new, Chicago Bears! The Denver Broncos have cut Kyle Orton. It’s kind of a surprise, but not really when you consider that if any QB on the roster is going to get a look should something happen to Tebow (bench/injury), it would likely be Brady Quinn. So, why pay Orton the remaining $2.5 million [...]
Well this sucks. Remember Erik Kramer, a quarterback who did an admirable job for the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears in the 1990′s? His 18-year old son Griffen was found dead in his friend’s home on Sunday. Yeah, that’s terrible. School officials gave preliminary word that “his passing was due to alcohol poisoning.” They also [...]
Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris requested a trade a little more than a week ago. He wasn’t happy that he used to be the starter, but was benched after stinking up the joint. Well, the Bears found a way to ship Harris out of town. They cut him. “This caught me as a surprise and [...]
We saw this story the other day, but didn’t see the follow up apology. Thanks to Chad for passing it along. Devin Hester was in a casino recently, waiting in line to cash in his chips. The next thing he knew, some dude slapped him upside the head. Hester didn’t react at all, he just [...]
Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte is not happy with his contract, that much we know. And apparently some other teams know that too, as a Chicago Tribune report cited two unnamed teams as showing interest in trading for the young running back. Forte was glad to see that someone was willing to show some [...]
In 2007, the New England Patriots used their first-round pick on Brandon Meriweather, a safety out of the University of Miami. He wasn’t terribly impressive and the whole “firing a gun at a party” thing happened (even though he was cleared in August). And while the Patriots defense sucks, they still decided to cut him. [...]
I’m not sure if the Chicago Bears should be thrilled about two of their offseason acquisitions. Marion Barber is banged up (calf) and looks like he’s running on the beach when he is out there. And Roy Williams is hurt (groin), but is out of shape and lazy. And yes, both have been declared inactive [...]
There weren’t many shocks on Saturday’s cutdown day for the NFL. Ok, maybe Tommie Harris getting let go wasn’t exactly expected. But, there wasn’t anything crazy. However, the New England Patriots cutting Brandon Meriweather certainly caused us to raise an eyebrow. Meriweather made another Pro Bowl last season, but it was obvious the Patriots were [...]
There were a couple peeps a few days ago that the Chicago Bears had released Chester Taylor. Those reports were refuted by the team, saying that wasn’t the case, he was still a Bear. But, that doesn’t mean that it’s not obvious to everyone that the Bears are through with him. They signed him for [...]
Wide receiver Roy Williams has been with the Chicago Bears and practicing for about two weeks now. And according to him, he’s still not in football shape. So what kind of shape was he in when he reported to camp? He was asked about his condition after a couple observers noticed him not going full [...]
When the NFL decided to move the placement of the kickoff from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line, the Chicago Bears didn’t like it one bit. And for obvious reasons. There are times when Devin Hester’s returns are their best source of offense. So it was easy to see why they would hate the [...]
The Chicago Bears leading receiver from last year, Johnny Knox, is not in the starting lineup for 2011. Following the team’s acquisition of Roy Williams, Knox was bumped to the bench. And there was speculation that if he got demoted, he’d ask to be traded. However, Knox says that’s not the case. “I’m a Bear, [...]
Man, there is a ton of NFL activity this week. Tough to keep up. We all know that Mike Martz can’t stand pass-catching TE’s, and now the Chicago Bears have proven it. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have sent Greg Olsen to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for an autographed [...]
You want Greg Olsen from the Chicago Bears? Make a reasonable offer and he’s yours, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus sent an email out to every general manager last night, letting them know that Olsen could be had. “The Bears have granted me permission to seek a trade for Greg Olsen,” Rosenhaus wrote. [...]
So how have you been keeping busy during the lockout? Some guys are working out. Some are finding other side jobs or businesses. And some just like to get arrested. That’s what happened to Chicago Bears RB Garrett Wolfe Sunday morning, when he was arrested on charges of retail theft, assaulting a police officer, resisting [...]
