SoxFan1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Doesn't one of these deals eventually have to backfire for them and destroy that franchise? Ochocinco is not a problem child. He's a big personality, but he doesn't get in trouble. That's such a bad misconception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Greg Olsen has been traded to the Carolina Panthers for a player and a pick. Per Brad Biggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Also seems that the Bears have began their pursuit of Roy Williams. I've actually warmed to the idea quite a bit, depending on the price. Well, RockRaines was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I really would like Roy Williams. I wonder what player we got from Carolina and what the pick was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Son of a b****... Well, there goes our only real redzone threat in the passing game. I guess it seemed inevitable after the Rosenhaus emails, but I really didn't want to lose Olsen. Edited July 28, 2011 by dasox24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's such a bad misconception. Agreed. Ochocinco is going to love it in New England because he is going to win and Brady is going to get him the ball a lot. If one of those trades backfires at all it will be the Haynesworth one but they gave up so little in both deals that they were both clearly worth the risk.

Soxfest Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Steve Smith? NO! He is not the player. The Bears have traded Greg Olsen to the Panthers in exchange for a player to be named later and a draft pick. No, that player is not Steve Smith. Olsen was placed on the trading block as Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz despises pass-catching tight ends. In Carolina, he'll join fellow "U" alum Jeremy Shockey and step right in as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Smith. Olsen, who caught 60 passes and eight touchdowns the year before Martz arrived in Chicago, is back on the radar as a borderline TE1.

Nonetheless, he's 5'9 and his YPC has declined 3 straight years. At 32, he's not getting younger either. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 32, he's not getting younger either. I'll pass. and before that he had aging Delhomme throwing to him while his YPC declined. He may be 32 & 5'9, but he'd still be the best WR on the Bears, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor had surgery to repair a cracked left hip last November. One of the better run-defending linebackers in football last season, Connor's position is unclear heading to 2011. The current assumption is that he'll be manning the strong side. If that's the case, that'd be really swell as Urlacher struggles to stop the run.
