Qualified Links – Bears Free Agency Edition
Brandon Manu..... oh come on, Ayanbadejo was hard enough to pronounce!
Well it looks like the Bears have stepped up their game in the opening days of free agency. There will be some hits and given the Bears’ history under Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith, there will be some misses. The Bears’ first catch? Brandon Manumaleuna! We can always use more tight ends!
- While rumors persist this means Greg Olsen is on the trading block, Brad Biggs believes it may spell trouble for good soldier Desmond Clark. (Trib)
- At 30 years old, Manumaleuna is rumored to be signing a five-year contract with the Bears. (Windy City Gridiron)
- His scouting report says he’s “an extra right tackle.” Great, considering we don’t have even a starting right tackle to begin with. (SB Nation)
- Chester Taylor? Pretty underrated in my book, but this is the perfect market for him to get a hefty contract. (Trib)
- News that the Bears appear to have nabbed the all-important “first visit” from both Julius Peppers and Chester Taylor (Sun Times)
- I’m fearful of a Julius Peppers disappearing act once he gets paid, but some say his signing with the Bears is a foregone conclusion (Da’ Bears Blog)
- Oh that glaring hole at safety? Well looks like the Bears are out of the running for Antrel Rolle. He’s reportedly seeking $8 million/year. (Pro Football Talk)
