Bears cut the "blocking tight end" loose in a salary cap move"BEAR DOWN
Youth Dick Butkus Jerseys , CHICAGO BEARS, BEAR DOWN!!!!Ken’s Note: Here’s one last picture of the Bears beating Detroit... it’s time to move on, who should I pick
next? Oh yeah, it’s GOTTA be Green Bay, right? There comes a point in time when
all mocking has to turn towards the cheeeezzzeee...BEARRRSSSSZeglinski: A quiet
place - A more hushed Bears’ off-season is a sign of progress – The Rock River
Times - For the first time in years, the Bears are in a place where they don’t
have to spend a smorgasbord in free agency. With largely most of their Super
Bowl roster locked in, they don’t even have the resources in cap space or draft
capital to do so if they wanted to strike at the heart of ambition.Medina: Bears

Bleacher Nation - It looks like Dion Sims is heading elsewhere.Medina: Bears
Named One of the Likely Landing Spots for Antonio Brown - Bleacher Nation -
Antonio Brown catching passes from Mitch Trubisky is the stuff Super Bowl dreams
are made of. Ken’s Note: With all due respect (and I do mean that, I’m not just
saying it) the statement “It’s a surprise to be sure, given the team’s cap
situation and the perception of limited assets … “ is rather like saying “The
Pacific Ocean is a really big puddle, and kinda wet”. Brown isn’t a fit in the
locker room, he isn’t a fit in the budget and we don’t have the assets to get
him even if he was.Medina: Adrian Amos Says the Bears Want Him Back

and 16th in receiving touchdowns. On the Bears, he was 5th in catches and yards,
but led the team in receiving touchdowns.Adrian Amos Hopes To Re-Sign With Bears

together.Medina: Le’Veon Bell Will Be an Unrestricted Free Agent … Hello, Bears?
- The Steelers are going to have a new look in 2019. Ken’s Note: Again with all
due respect, this would be a really, really bad idea, spending every dime of cap
space we have left and then some on a me-first guy that even doesn’t run behind
our blocking scheme. We run a ZBZ/Inside & Outside scheme, while Pittsburgh
runs an entirely different Hybrid Stretch-Zone/Power scheme. That’s a really big
deal.Brandt: Callahan one of ten defensive backs worth pursuing via free

AmadiRaj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsThe NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that
the Chicago Bears have met with Oregon defensive back Ugo Amadi today on a
pre-draft visit. The 5’9”, 199 pound Amandi has played all over the Ducks’
secondary during his four year career, but he finally settled in at safety last
season as a senior. He took two of his three 2018 interceptions back for
touchdowns, and he also returned a punt for a TD last year. His 55 tackles and 4
tackles for loss were career highs
Kerrith Whyte Chicago Bears Jerseys , and he tied his career high with 1.5 sacks and 8 passes defended. His 15.9 yards per punt return was fifth best in the
NCAA. He also never missed a game in his career playing in 51 straight. Amandi
won the 2018 Lombardi Award which is awarded to a player, “regardless of
position, based on performance, as well as leadership, character, and
resiliency.”Athletically speaking, he wasn’t the best tester at the combine, but
on the field he produced.He’s a likely day three selection, and he also has
meetings scheduled with the Steelers and Jets this week. What are your thoughts
on Amadi being added to compete at either nickle of safety?EJ weighed in on
Twitter earlier today.
