i'm going to try not to jump to any conclusions, and remember that rex's defense (with his brother) was a complete shit show.

Love it. Porter vs. Fuller vs. LeBlanc vs. Hall. Steel cage match for the other spot.

@JasonColeBR
#Bears talks with CB Stephon Gilmore evidently not going that well for the moment. Team is calling agents for other CBs right now.

I'm kind of glad... Gilmore is good but he's not THAT good. Dude wants to be paid like the elite.

At least it seems here like Pace is sticking to his creed about not signing a deal the team could regret. It appears Gilmore wants a deal that can be nothing but regrettable.

He prob wants 65m and 30m+ guaranteed....

Or maybe his agent is saying, "you're paying a journeyman QB $15 mil per? Oh my guy is getting paid!"

It's a deep class at CB and S... don't overspend.

Fucker inks w/ the Patriots.

Lol. Glennon is ruining everything!

[BamaBear09]

Supposedly 14m a year...

[Adipost]

Still some hope...

A.J. Bouye - DB - Free Agent
According to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson, the Bears have made a "strong offer" to free agent CB A.J. Bouye.

@JosinaAnderson
Was just told Stephon Gilmore was a little bit disappointed the #Bears weren't "more serious" w/ offer. Just "let the chips fall" after that

I appreciate Pace being diligent and not over spending on Gilmore (who may or may not be overrated). But then I refresh my feed and see Mike Glennon...

[G08]

We bailed on Jenkins when he was too expensive, and now Gilmore is costing even more.

I'm oddly glad/relieved we didn't overpay for Gilmore.

He's good, he's not THAT good.

This is what happens when you aren't prepared and panic. He's banking on his evaluation and dude's upside. The guaranteed money had better be closer to $20 million than $40 million...

He's good, he's not THAT good.

Fangio's system does not need the greatest corners.... it definitely doesn't need 2nd tier corners who are paid like great corners...

Kevin King and Chidobe Awuzie in this draft and we should be good for the next decade...

I think they like the young guys they have (save for maybe Fuller)...but they need a veteran to help ease the transition because guys like Hall are so raw.

If they miss on a corner in FA like they did last year, they'll just stick with Porter again.

[BamaBear09]

Whelp... DeSean Jackson is headed to Tampa and Garcon is headed to San Fran... so at least Porter won't have to get roasted in the same game this year....

I am having such a hard time recognizing who is who due to all these different avatars

Whoa, that's Glennon money!
