Mad should merge this with Essox's thread......from the department of redundency department.

Well well well...

sounds like the bears have their very own javon walker

thats a shame

[GrnBay007]

Time for the old hamstring injury. :P

[MJZiggy]

It should be fun to watch him "T.O." the locker room

[PackerPro42]

This guy is exactly what the Packers need. Not only is he a great player but he would also fill the packer's Strong Side LB position that is in need of re-vamping. I wonder what the Bears are asking for him because I would love to have him.

[MJZiggy]

They're not asking anything and the likelihood of them trading to us is about...well, it ain't gonna happen.

[RashanGary]

They are being hard asses with him. They could give him a fair deal but they are shooting him low ball offers and franchising him.

[RashanGary]

It could be the other way around and him wanting UFA type money when he's not a UFA.

[ecwiscott]

tears running down my eyes and cheeks as the Bears seem to have a player problem. LOL!!!!

technically isn't he an UFA, thats why they used the franchise tag? Or once they get franchised they aren't UFA anymore?

Yep, thats exactly it. He would have gotten in between Clements and Thomas in terms of salary. Probably closer to Clements.

I think he's an idiot. He doesn't deserve top lb money. 8 mil or whatever he'll get this year is pretty darn good for him.

Yep, it is. But 8 mil guaranteed this year is not as much as 18 mil guaranteed. Contracts are all about what is guaranteed.
