Sign RB Michael Bush or regret it, TT!

Bears agreed to terms with RB Michael Bush on a four-year, $14 million contract.

Pathetic, Packers, Bush was even cheap and went to the Bears.

M. Bush is only 27, a bruiser than runs hard and can catch the ball too. A goal-line TD machine! Some of you great Packer fans need to watch other NFL players/teams/games; I've got NFL league pass each season and there's not much football that I miss.

Besides, Grant is gone/done, Starks is overrated/injured often & Green had a bad injury last season. We got nothing in the back field. And M. Bush would've been a great feature in the Packers offense. But I guess the former mentioned Packer "greats" are enough? A lot has been said about our D but our inability to convert 3rd and 1 on the ground is a problem.

Pfft@NBC SPORTS

Michael Bush is unhappy that Matt Forte is unhappy about Michael Bush signing.

Isn't that about the time that RBs start breaking down here and there? How many touches does Bush have in his career?

[Joemailman]

Wow. 12 consecitive posts (did I count right?) from Woody. Is that a new record?

631 rush att for 2640 yards and 21 rushing TDs. 91 receptions (37 last season) & 1 rec TD. I'd say he's still got some miles in the tank.

I would've certainly taken Bush for that amount of money. He's better than anyone else we have on the roster currently...by a good bit as well.

You can never go wrong with Bush.

[Bretsky]

I'd like to thank Woody AGAIN for keeping me up to date on the free agent signings. Lacking time lately, I value this thread and his keeping many of us up to speed on the NFL news.

[Bretsky]

Saturday's choice is believed to have come down to Green Bay and Denver and most people are assuming he would join Peyton Manning, the guy for whom he snapped the ball practically his entire career.

The Packers need a center more than the Broncos do and might be willing to pay more, but Saturday might be just using them for leverage to get a better deal from Denver. It's unclear exactly when the 36-year-old Saturday will make a decision, but it's expected soon.

[Bretsky]

Quarterback Matt Flynn's three-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks was worth $19.5 million and included $10 million in guaranteed money.

Many reports had the deal worth $26 million over three years. The actual $6.5 million average pretty much assures that Flynn will not warrant a third-round compensatory pick all by himself next year.

Plus, then we'd have 2 Bush's...Bush on Bush...that is awesome
