Rex Grossman: ACL Healed

Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Rex Grossman: ACL Healed: "Grossman said if there was a game this week, he could play on his right knee,"

Well, I just hope that the Bears do not evaluate and release injury information to the public like the Chicago Cubs do... Oh Rex, you saviour of Bear fans everywhere, we hope ye are healed!!! - Slim Tim

Bears and the running back part 1...

NFL In the Trenches: James, Alexander on the block - CBS SportsLine.com: " The team has been tied to a trade rumor that involves James"

So, is there a trade rumor involving Thomas Jones and Edgerrin James? If so, this is the first mention of it I have seen... More to come on the RB situation... - Slim Tim

Bears should sign Brad Johnson

Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Domino Effect: "a passer rating on 79.5, better than 14 NFL starters last season and also better than the four Bears"

Seems to me that if he *wants* to come to the Bears, he is as good an option for a backup as any other QB out there. I like him as a QB knowing if *and when* he needs to step up and play... and you know he will... that he will be able to perform as good if not better than any QB that we have had on our roster in a long time. - Slim Tim.

Bears agree to five-year deal with Fred Miller

Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Bears agree to five-year deal with Fred Miller: "the 32-year-old veteran who hasn't missed a start since 1998"


Fred Miller 

Could we be so lucky??? A solid offensive lineman starter who hasn't missed a start in 7 years!!! That speaks volumes in my book. Nice signing!!! - Slim Tim

Bears trade 4th pick down to...

So today I hear my thoughts of a few days ago echoed by a friend of mine who heard on the sports talk radio about the possibility of the Bears trading their 4th selection in this draft to Dallas for their two first round picks (11th and 20th). The radio guy says it may be a reality because Dallas is really interested in Mike Williams at the 4th spot. Since Dallas now has Drew Bledsoe and Julius Jones, the receiver would make a very interesting triple threat similar to that of Indianapolis... For me that would be tremendous, the Bears could then address their need at tight end and offensive tackle in the first round, they could even draft two offensive tackles with the two first round picks, that'd be OK with me... I even like the possibility of trading the high first round pick then to a team for their lower first round pick and their 3rd round pick (The Bears traded away their 3rd round pick this year along with #86 to Miami for Adewale Ogunleye). No matter what happens with the draft, I would like the Bears to stay away from any defensive player until the second day, that seems to be where we pick up a lot of defensive talent for a bargain. - Slim Tim
