Bryant has been informed that he will be released by Dallas today.

I feel like at least a passing conversation on a Dez addition is somewhat inevitable.

I personally think we address WR post-first round in the draft. However, I don't think it's completely out of the question that the Bears have interest.

It doesn't seem like a move we'd make for a few different reasons, IMO. Maybe I am wrong, though.

Hard pass. Declining player and he's a fucking nutcase.

If Pace was quick to dump Marshall and Bennett, I think that’s a good indicator he’s not going to pursue Bryant.

Yeah. I tend to agree.

A career revival wouldn't shock me. I still think he has a lot of ability. However, I'd prefer not to be the one to roll the dice on it.

Like UOK said. Pace seems to have zero interest in taking on potential problems.

Dude's 30 and bad now. Someone will take a chance on him, but it won't (and shouldn't) be the Bears.

If they could figure out a way to keep him from being a focus, I wouldn't be opposed. Like the Patriots did with Moss, he was there but they have such a core of big personalities that they managed to keep the focus off him. But I just don't think there is an argument to be made that Chicago can pull that off right now.

This seems like the thinking to me.

I want the Bears to acquire new and young players to build with not old but experienced hole pluggers

Bryant might be good for someone looking for a veteran presence, albeit a slightly psychotic presence, where is not looked at to be a leader

I'm up for it. Let's roll. Not sure what to do with Gabriel, but oh wow the possibilities.

No. Thank you.

He is a headcase. We have some good pieces right now, and we don't need an overrated WR diva screwing up everything.

Nope. Nope. Nope.
