This may just be a rumor out in the schoolyard, but isn't the groin near your penis?

Wow wee, that sounds bad.

Ba da bump! :D

How will we ever replace Wheaton's 0.33 catches per game? :evilgrin:

i just assume that in the time it took me to type that post, wright was hit by a car, and then hit by another car, before being run over by a third car.

League sources: #Bears WR Markus Wheaton has a tear in his groin and could miss 4-6 weeks.

ah ... so he wasn't just standing still on his routes against the Vikings ... he was standing there jerking off

wonder what inspired him to be so aggressive he tore something? must be the color purple

after he heals he should be cut ... because he sucks and isn't even trying ... he is a prime example of the questionable acquisitions mentioned in another thread and IMO is certainly not needed by the Bears

So what are we looking at here, Wright/McBride/Gentry as our top 3? And only Bellamy as the backup?

Gross.

More like Wright/Bellamy/McBride/Gentry. Guessing they'll rotate them in and out. Look for Cohen and Miller to get more snaps at WR than Gentry because Fox/Loggains reasons.

That's easily the worst WR group in the NFL...and it is't even close.

Look at the bright side, they'd all make great practice squad players.

I'd be interested in taking another look at Victor Cruz. He wasn't good, but he wasn't that bad considering what we have.

I'm figuring a #1 or double digit millions/year go for a WR this offseason. Even with Meredith and White returning, I think that's a pretty safe bet. Maybe both.

There are several decent options set for UFA this year.

It's a pity we can't really evaluate any of the current receivers on the active roster. Who knows if McBride or Gentry or whoever would make a decent #3 or #4 when they're being trotted out as #1 and #2.

An edge rusher is still my top priority based on how the season has gone so far but wideout is a close second.
