DAVID Terrell released

[MinnesotaSoxFan]

Now what do I do with my Terrell jersey I got for $20 after the 2001 season?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Give it to me...

 

Can I join Minny's David Terrell fan club now?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Oh well...

[NUKE_CLEVELAND]

That's more than he's worth anyway.

 

 

Yeah, if we could have cleared a wodden nickel's worth of cap room by dumping him then it'd have still been worth it. Ol Cement hands will probably be dropping passes in Cincinatti or some other NFL s***hole next season.

[backman]

i didn't mind terrell to much, when he scored it was fun watching his antics, it wasn't fun watching him drop balls, and getting in trouble with the law. but a bears player is a bears player, and i treap them all the same, thanxs for what you gave even if it was only a little.

the real question is what do i do with my Anthony Thomas Jersey i bought for more than $20 after 2001.

 

anyways b4 i would of been ok if we didnt take a WR first round or add another in free agency but now it almost seems like a must doesnt it?

 

and on Terrel i think him and Brady are sort of friends... remember somewhere Brady giving Terrell a prank call back in college and made Terrell think he was a editor for a magazine or something...

This Christmas, I treated myself to a Bears jersey.

 

I had to spend $90 on just a repro, so I didn't want to have it be useless a few years down the road.

 

So, I got... "34" "Payton" on it.

[Brian]

Should've stayed his senior year at Michigan. Now instead of being a has been, he's a never was.

 

I can't really blame him for leaving early. Drew Hansen left, A-train graduated. The Michigan program was a question mark and he had a solid junior year.

 

And to those who think the Bears shouldn't draft Edwards cuz he went to Michigan, get a grip. Braylon is more mature and talented than Terrell ever was. I saw him for the 3 years he started, didn't play much his freshmen year.

 

Whether you take Williams or Edwards, we will get a good one.

[Tadahito Iguchi]

They should have traded him to the raiders.............................It's sad but I'm completely serious, I don't think they should have just let him go the way they did.............

[WHarris1]

What do you think they would give?

They knew we would release him if they wanted him.

[Chisoxfn]

I pretty much guarantee the Bears won't draft a WR at #4. Financially it would be stupid to give Musin so much money and then give a big time signing bonus to Braylon.

 

My money is on the Bears signing a veteran WR like Travis Taylor at a price tag similar to what DT made this past year. I think JA likes Gage, Wade and Berrian as the 3, 4 and 5 recievers with them being able to learn from veterans.

 

In the draft I think the Bears go RB, LB or possibly Alex Smith assuming they stay at 4. I also wouldn't mind Antrelle Rolle, simply because I think he's a stud.

 

But mark my words, they WILL NOT draft a WR at #4.

 

Also John Clayton seems to think Warner is destined to join the Bears. It appears that following the signing the Bears still have roughly 7 million in cap room this year.

[WHarris1]

7 mil after Warner to sign a vert #2 WR and OT.

That's pretty much right on the money.

 

It won't be a WR at #4 anymore for a few of the reasons you mentioned.

 

-Musin is hands down one of the best WR in the NFC. Before last season, he was more of a possession reciever; but, he has shown he is capable of being the deep threat, possession, and TD reciever. Edwards and Williams, although a nice compliment to Musin on the other side, are no longer necissites with the #4 selection.

 

-Sadly, Angelo does like Gage, Wade, and Berrian. As long as he realizes Gage is nothing more than a 3rd or 4th reciever, he's going to be ok. Wade, not so much. Berrian should be used for nothing more than special teams and fly routes.

 

-Alex Smith will not be coming to the Bears. Angelo has far too much pride for that move. Grossman is his guy. He isn't going to bring in another young arm until he sees a healthy Grossman.

 

-I, too, would love Rolle at #4, although if Ronnie Brown or Cedric Brown are there at #4, I think they're coming to Chicago.

 

Everyone, say NO to Kurt Warner. A resounding NO.

[WHarris1]

Why is it sad to have faith in Berrian as a 3-5 WR?

[GoodAsGould]

Because he isnt that good .... i was kind of hoping we would keep DT sign TJ Houshmandezeh and than draft Derrick Johnson.... our offensive line isnt great but i dont think its as bad as everyone makes it out to be either.

Say it's a Frank Thomas Bears jersey.

[Soxfest]

Terrell was and always will be a buster.

[Leonard Zelig]

I know I'm late on this, but this makes me so happy. Great move.

Muhammad will also turn 32 this year and has been plagued with hamstring injuries over the course of his career (only three seasons with 16 games played or > 70 receptions). In other words, he isn't exactly Mr. Dependable. I'm not saying that the Bears NEED to take a WR at #4, but they should consider getting a better #2 option somehow (either in a later round or via free agency).

 

-Alex Smith will not be coming to the Bears.  Angelo has far too much pride for that move.  Grossman is his guy.  He isn't going to bring in another young arm until he sees a healthy Grossman.

 

Agreed. He should be given another chance to play a full season.

 

-I, too, would love Rolle at #4, although if Ronnie Brown or Cedric Brown are there at #4, I think they're coming to Chicago.

 

The Bears certainly do need another backup RB, but taking one at #4 is a waste of money, IMO. Anyone taken at #4 is going to command a substantial signing bonus. Why shell out that cash to someone who's going to ride the pine behind Jones (who the Bears also paid a significant amount of cash to last year)? They can take a RB later in the draft. Agreed that LB might be

 

Everyone, say NO to Kurt Warner.  A resounding NO.

 

Then, we should say "yes" to Jeff Garcia, Joey Harrington, or another veteran QB who may be on the market soon. Hutchinson isn't going to get the job done if Grossman goes down again and the Bears aren't going to win crap until they sign a halfway decent QB.

60/40 sounds about right to me. That ratio might be in the rookie's favor before long, as Jones has yet to really establish himself after what, 4 years? He has shown flashes, of course.

 

I'd like a Stephen Davis/Deshaun Foster type combination. That would be beautiful. If one guy gets tired, the othe can come in and do just as well, if not better.

The 60/40 running-back-by-committee ratio that you're referring to is more like what Tice does in Minnesota than that John Fox does in Carolina. In '03, Davis had the vast majority of the carries (318) and Foster was used as more of a thrid-down back (mostly because of his receiving skills). Foster did see more carries in the playoffs, but that was due to the fact that Davis was playing on a strained quad.

 

I still don't think that the Bears should take a RB at #4. Angelo shelled out a substantial amount of money to Jones last year and, despite playing in a horribly unbalanced offense, his overall numbers were still pretty good (240/948 yds rushing (4.0 avg.), 7 rushing TDs, 56/427 yds receiving). Jones also had a number of very good games early on in the season when Grossman was healthy. Jones is also a relatively good receiving back, so there's no need for a third-down specialist in this case. The Bears SHOULD draft a backup RB, just not one that's going to cost them an arm and a leg.

Didn't our O-line give up the most sacks in the NFL last season?

 

It's s***ty.

 

And, I for one cannot wait to see Gage actually given an opportunity to play this next season. He can outjump just about any DB, and hopefully Turner integrates Gage into the redzone offense...

They were also really hurt last year. All of those guys should be back this year, including getting Columbo back with a full year of training. I don't think the O line should be that bad this year.
