In a recent press conference, Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo made it fairly obvious that he is done collecting free agents. While he didn’t explicitly say that, the implication was clear.
But mere words won’t stop us from searching, even though the free agent market is slim pickings at this point. There still may be some bargain shopping for the Bears to do.
Recognizing that, we’re here to let Mr. Angelo know that we aren’t settling for what the Bears have brought in. Sure, drafting Gabe Carimi and Stephen Paea were solid moves, and while Marion Barber was a bit of a head scratcher, he should supplant Chester Taylor as the short yardage back.
Meanwhile, punter Brad Maynard was swapped for Adam Podlesh, and wide receiver Roy Williams was signed. The Bears also re-signed several of their own guys.
But we can’t stop there. The Bears need another wideout even though the best ones are now gone.
Additionally, the offensive line still could use improvement. Is there anyone out there to help the Bears? There isn’t much quality left, but Angelo said to name names, and so let’s try.
