This is from ESPN Insider....I wonder how much Philly would pay for Housh, they are not known for paying big bucks (well they paid Asante Samuel I guess)

T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who will become an unrestricted free agent later this month, was a guest on the Chicago-area Waddle and Silvy show on Wednesday, and the wide receiver dropped some hints that he's quite receptive to playing for the Chicago Bears, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.

Asked if he had narrowed down the teams for whom he'd like to play, Housh responded, "I haven't narrowed it down because I don't know who's interested and who's not interested. So, once you get a feel for who would be interested, then you begin to look at the roster; look at the offensive coordinator and the coaches and the quarterback, and things of that nature." Teams are forbidden from contacting potential signees until February 27, so this would explain why no official "interest" has been expressed to Houshmandzadeh so far.

Later in the interview, Houshmandzadeh was asked what he thought of Bears coach Lovie Smith, and said, "you know a coach that coached under Tony Dungy is a good coach, and a cool guy. So, that always helps. Yeah, man, anybody that comes under Tony Dungy, if they have any type of the characteristics that Tony Dungy has, you can't beat that."

In addition to the Bears, sources have listed the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers as possible destinations if Houshmandzadeh decides to leave the Cincinnati Bengals. Chad Ocho Cinco told Bengals website columnist Geoff Hobson that he needs Houshmandzadeh on his team "like Hugh Hefner needs playmates."
