leave it to the bears to help improve the packers backfield by default. their running game is almost as big a question mark as ours now.

maybe they intend to make grossman the focal point of their offense now.

dang, i need an roflmao emotie to put at the end of this.....

PS : watched all Bear games this year, and Cedric Benson - at least in my opinion - is not as good as Jones. Jones was a very smart, patient runner, and was liked very much by teammates. Benson reminds me of Anthony Thomas - no finesse at all -and he is a jerk, to boot.

i guess cedrick benson's sparkling performance in the super bowl convinced chicago how expendable thomas jones was.

Leon Washington isn't very durable if I remember right. I see a two headed approach here...

Bears have made Rexy the focal point of their offense whether they realize it or not. Cedric "I got an owie because Bob Sanders kicked my sorry butt and I'm going to sit out the rest of the Super Bowl" Benson doesn't play hurt. He was inactive for 3 or 4 games this year and the coaching staff questioned his desire to play. Translation: Benson could have played but decided not to.

Bears leading rusher will be fullback Jason McKie with about 300 yards.

Jones is gone and Briggs is next. Leave it to the cheap McCaskey family to screw over the Bears.

Bears will be lucky to score 10 points a game this year. They'll continue the recent tradition of Super Bowl losers finishing under 500 the next year.

Say it with me everyone: GREEN BAY PACKERS 2007 NFC NORTH DIVISION CHAMPIONS!!!

The move reduces the strength of the Bear team which is helpful to the Packers. The Jets got a good deal.

Both backs apparently weren't going to co-exist in Chiago. A good deal for both teams. Bears get two early picks now.
