Kyyle23 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2012 -> 09:08 AM) Can I claim the "It's morning" excuse? Anyway, point to you, 30 demerits to me. LOL, sure you can. Anyways, Achilles is a brutal injury and recovery. Many times it snaps and balls up inside the calf and has to be extracted. I can only imagine how painful it must be for him. We may never see the same Suggs again. Offseason basketball, I wonder how the contract works with that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 3, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) I was just about to post this... I'd be surprised if their contracts limited any sort of physical activity like that in the offseason. You'd want them exercising and staying in top shape. It'd be different if he was playing professionally, but even then, you've had Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders in the past. I know CJ Wilson races cars (non-professionally) in the off-season, and many athletes get involved in charity sporting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) TMZ is reporting that NFL legend Junior Seau was found dead today by his housekeeper from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Former WWE Superstar Bill Goldberg took to Twitter to share that he saw Seau just yesterday: "Sad day....Played in a Charity Golf tournament yesterday with Junior and now he's gone. RIP my friend. Please say a prayer for him." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...re-his-suicide/ Very sad. Edited May 3, 2012 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Two more picks signed. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...-agrees-to-deal Rookies Rodriguez, McCoy agree to deals May, 8, 2012 By Michael C. Wright and Jeff Dickerson | ESPNChicago.com The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with fourth-round pick Evan Rodriguez and seventh-round pick Greg McCoy on four-year contracts, the team announced on Tuesday. Financial terms of the deals weren’t immediately disclosed. Rodriguez, a tight end out of Temple, was a two-time first-team all-MAC selection. He caught 35 passes for 479 yards and two touchdowns during his senior season. Bears general manager Phil Emery said on draft day he envisions Rodriguez as not only a key contributor on special teams, but also a player capable of starting in the club's base offense. A kick returner and cornerback, McCoy started 39 of 52 games at Texas Christian University, and was drafted in April by the Bears with the 220th overall selection. McCoy posted 92 tackles at TCU to go with seven interceptions and 17 pass breakups. The Bears will initially use Rodriguez in the "F" tight end position, the same role held by former first-round selection Greg Olsen before he was traded to Carolina prior to last season. Rodriguez is considered a hybrid tight end/H-back, but will asked to stretch the field vertically in the passing game, according to Emery. Rodriguez sees himself in the same mold as current New England tight end Aaron Hernandez, who put up big regular season (79 catches for 910 yards and seven touchdowns) and postseason (19-188-2) numbers in just his second year in the NFL. He originally signed with West Virginia out of high school but transferred to Temple after one season with the Mountaineers. Rodriguez has been linked to several off-the-field incidents during his time at both West Virginia and Temple, but told the media upon being drafted that he's learned from his mistakes. As a return man, McCoy racked up 1,505 yards on kickoffs with three touchdowns. McCoy becomes the second player of Chicago’s 2012 draft class to agree to terms on a deal. The club announced it had agreed to terms last week with second-round receiver Alshon Jeffery. With the McCoy deal, the Bears still need to complete four more contracts with rookies, using a pool of approximately $4.1 million. It’s likely the Bears could announce more signings in the coming days because the club kicks off its rookie minicamp on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 There are different lists some have him at 5 others at 10, either way he is only being paid about what Cowher was paid in 2006. http://www.coacheshotseat.com/SalariesNFLCoaches.htm http://www.buzzle.com/articles/nfl-coaches...oaches2011.html The key being that it is estimated Cowher made about $4-$5mil in 2006. So I just cant see the Bears paying the $7mil+ necessary to get Cowher, unless he takes a pay cut from his last job. It also should be noted Lovie's salary is due to raises etc, his first contract was no where near this value. In 2006 Lovie smith was being paid $1.3mil as one of the lowest coaches. So yes it is true Lovie Smith eventually got paid, the Bears did not sign him to a huge contract to start, it took him years to get that money. Where as Cowher would want it day 1, drastic difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
