Phil Emery Is The Bears New General Manager

Hmmmm

It also means we can commence the “let’s trade for this player on the Bears” talk.

It ain’t happening. For obvious reasons and more.

As for their front 7 on D, I don’t know how Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs, Israel Idonije, etc would translate into a 3-4…aren’t the bears playing a 4-3 now?

Players in the draft and free agency.

Plus, some smart additions to the Chiefs offensive staff. For the record, I am against the Chiefs not adding to the defensive staff and keeping Romeo as the DC without adding anyone at all.

At least promote someone to DC and let Romeo call the plays. Don’t tell me no one will want the job… slip them some money, they’ll come to work.
