The Bears just swung a trade for Brandon Marshall. That is a good move for them.

SaintPaulWarrior · « **Reply #1 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:11:31 PM »

For 2 third round picks.

What a steal! Now the Bears can sign Mario Williams

It's pretty darn impressive. Younger, cheaper, more consistent than Vincent Jackson. And they're still 16 million under the cap. Can still make a run at Mario Williams if they want.

This is ABSOLUTELY what they're going to try and pull off.

EDIT: beat me to it waderoy

ESPN is saying Mario Williams has a scheduled visit to of all places Buffalo.

MarsupialMadness · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:31:36 PM »

and now marshall and cutler are reunited. plus they have the QB coach from when they were in denver as well.

Yikes, the NFC North just got a lot more talented. Don't the Bears still have to pay Forte too? Can they afford him and Super Mario?

Amidst the madness, according to league source, Packers DE Mike Neal suspended for for first four games of 2012 season

Great move for the Bears. I don't see them getting Mario Williams in light of this. Would probably leave too many other holes unfilled...S, CB, OLine. Definitely got a lot better though.

Consider him cut.

Bears in talks with Jason Campbell and LaRon Landry. Both pretty good moves, assuming the money is right. Landry will compete for starting spot and adds needed depth to safety. Campbell is a very nice get for backup QB - hoping to avoid the crap that happened last year.

Edit: Jason Campbell agreed to 1 year deal.

Very good day for the Bears so far, don't think Mario Williams is coming though. Wait until you see the money Buffalo is going to pay him, it will blow your mind. Hearing it will be close to $100 million, with possibly $50 million guaranteed, it's insane. Peppers got $42 mil guaranteed when the Bears signed him.

Bears trying hard to sign Mincey, which would be a very good Plan B to Williams.

That VJax deal was incredible too. I realize teams have money to spend and bad teams like the Bucs/Bills have to overpay, but thought that was a ton (but that was the market price I suppose).

I love it when teams go out and spend all kinds of money on free agents.

Its known to work out really well.

Awesome that the story under the Marshall signing on ESPN is about him giving some girl at the club a black eye. Sheesh.

I am totally shocked that a guy who was stabbed in the stomach and had to sit out time for it also would punch a woman in a club.

totally shocked.

Lets wait and see. The fight was with another NFL player. Yet, I believe his wife was the one who stabbed him in the stomach.

Bears need a #1 receiver. None of the current players are that category. Only legit FA available was Jackson and he got $11.1 million/year. Bears trade two 3rds (essentially greg olsen and a future 3rd) for Marshall for 3 years at ~$8.5 million a year.

It's a great trade. Especially with the familiarity of Marshall-Cutler-Bates.

Decent move for the Bears. Now if they could find a quarterback they may start to worry me.
