Yeah, the Bears are pretty cheap. Not only that, Jerry Angelo is an insecure little bitch (and I don't use that word often). Look at the facts

- They lowball Lovie Smith on a contract extension
- They trade Thomas Jones because Jerry Angelo wants to show the world he made the right choice in drafting Benson.
- He turns down the Redskin trade claiming he doesn't want to be bullied by Briggs. What man, secure in himself, would announce that publicly.
- They let Ron Rivera, one of the best DC's in the league go because they think he'll cost to much.
- The reason Lovie Smith was hired in the first place had more to do with cost then credentials (though I will go on record and say he was definately qualified).

You deserve better Chicago. They did such a good job builidng a team but now there cheap nature is coming back to bite them in the ass.

Not true. If I was in his position, I would have made most of the same moves Angelo did. I think he's a good GM.

One thing about him is that he is an extremely patient team builder. He will not trade up to 6 unless he thinks there is a player who can help their team. Theres no guarentee the Bears make this trade.

I will give you the fact that hes a patint team builder but would you come out in public and say I'm not going to be bullied? The only thing that really seems to be on the line is Angelos ego.

We need to stay put for a change. We need to finally focus on what we should have focused on 4 years ago, the D line with regards to the draft. The guys we have now were acquired when they already were passed their prime and were starting to become walking injuries. Stick with getting Branch or Okeye please. At the 6th pick it will be hard not to pick up a guy that will become a starter, but we need a pass rush desperately!!!!!

We need to stay put for a change. Getting more lesser round picks is nice if you just want to stock up on new practice squad guys for the most part. Rarely is there a diamond in the rough past round 3. Stick with #6 and get Branch or Okeye, we need to address our needs in earnest for a change. We have wasted too many drafts in recent years.

Honestly this might not be a bad move if you guys think about it and look at the contacts of our receivers. We are gonna have to do some house cleaning and AR-E and Moss's numbers skyrocket in a couple years. Might not be bad to have a good receiver. But at the same time we do need help on the D-line.

The most recently rumored to deal is to Cleveland to leap from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get C Johnson.

The deal includes the 6th overall, Ladell Betts, and our recently acquired 6th round pick for the 3rd overall and a 3rd round pick.

I dont think its a bad deal. WE get a stellar athlete with great upside and work ethic, and we get a 3rd round pick in the deal to draft a DT/DE/RB.

Just imagine Calvin Johnson to one side, Santana Moss to the other, and Antwaan Ranldle El working the slot. This move could accelerate the growth of Jason Campbell. The 3rd round pick is up for grabs too.

If this went down I'd always think that we should go with what we need, but taking a player like Calvin Johnson, I would not be mad at that!

the one consistent all offseason though has been Gibbs praising Betts and talking about the split carries between Portis and Betts would become a lot more even than the last couple seasons so I just don't see Betts being traded at all. I like CJ but the running game has been the only consistent this team has had the last few seasons and will be fun to watch the 2 headed beast being even better this season.

If they see value in Jason Campbell I say pick up Calvin Johnson. He would make Jason better flat out. But if they want to improve the team they better draft a d-tackle to stop the run and help the Defense. The briggs trade is Idiotic and useless, just grome Rocky to be what we want him to be
