Here's my problem with your suggestions: Kampman and Sharper are both coming off injuries. Could you get them for less $'s? Yes. But with their asses on the line, Lovie, Jerry and Teddy busted the bank to get what many believe is the best money can buy. I would have hoped they addressed the safety position with Rolle or Atogwe by now, but we'll see what the draft or a possible trade brings. As for Holt, dude, I think he's done. If you bring him in, he's not a #1 wideout any more. They should have been knocking down Arizona's door with their 3rd and 4th draft picks to get Boldin. So what if they don't have a draft this season when you bring in that kind of talent. If you're going to get someone, go get TO for the right price (read my post on it: http://beargoggleson.com/2010/03/16/bears-should-sign-t-o/.) BEAR DOWN!!! Chitown – thanks for your comments.

One, they should have saved the Peppers money and signed Aaron Kampman for much less. Two, they should have signed Darren Sharper last year, but since they didn't, they should sign him this year for around 3.5 per(half of what Atogwe would cost for an all-pro.Third,they need to sign Torrey Holt, to have a legitimate #1 receiver. Taylor and Malaleuna were good pick-ups despite the fact that they are overpaying Taylor somewhat. Draft needs are O-line, cornerback and Safety, also possibly linebacker ( veteran LB's seem to be getting more prone to injury). Go Bears!

Vasher has under performed (and that is an under statement)and lets bring in some younger talent and the FB position. I do believe that we need a Veteran WR to help our young WR's progress. Hester is NOT a Number 1, at best he should line up in the slot position and utilize his speed and also help with PR and KR. The Bears WR's lack size not speed, if that means we sign up Tory Holt to mentor than that is what we need to do. Why we didnt give up a few picks to attain Boldin still confuses me since Jerry went after him last year! Lastly the Bears stated Safety was their Number 1 concern, but they have yet to address that need. I do not believe Sharper is the answer, but Otogwey from the Rams could be the long term.

Looks like all these other deals will have to be "paid" for by releasing guys like Vasher and McKie. As for overpaying Taylor, that's what you do in FA, overpay players that have proven themselves instead of overpaying draft picks (especially Jerry's) that have not. I also think they got the best OL available in FA this year, he just happened to be a TE. My biggest fear is that Jerry and Lovie totally redeem themselves and save their phony- baloney jobs. You have to draft sooner or later... Pretty obvious the Bears shot their wad on day one of FA. Looks like all these other deals will have to be “paid” for by releasing guys like Vasher and McKie.
