Of course, it is too early to effectively try and predict who will fill the starting positions in the upcoming season, but if there is anyone who has insight to such matters, it is Larry Mayer. Training camp will will answer a lot of questions, and I'm sure that even Larry's opinion will change come August, but here is a look at what he thinks right now: OFFENSE: Jay Cutler at quarterback, Matt Forte...

by Dan Graziano Filed under: Chicago Bears , NFL Fans If the NFL's owners and players can't negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement by March, then 2010 season will be played without a salary cap. This is not a desirable eventuality for either side, though there are certainly some individuals on each side who might have reason to think it is. Bears tight end Desmond Clark , who apparently has...

For the Bears to have success this year in the passing game, Jay Cutler must quickly develop chemistry with his offensive weapons. OC Ron Turner is working to make sure that happens. ...at least two of the Bears' top four receivers are on the field every time Cutler throws a pass. One or both of the tight-end tandem of Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark also must be on the field when Cutler throws. Ideally,...

The Chicago Sun-Times reports the Bears would welcome WR Plaxico Burress if he signed in Chicago. Burress is currently without a team as everyone waits to see what will happen as his gun charge proceeds in New York courts June 15. Current No. 1 WR Devin Hester would welcome Burress. "If we added Plaxico Burress , that's only going to build confidence even more," Hester said. "Why wouldn't...

How many people have brought this up? How many people have shot this idea down? And how many people actually think it could happen? Yes, the Plaxico Burress to the Bears idea is steadily trucking along. We have berated the sports writers who continually stir up dust on the subject, but it seems that Plaxico has more supporters in Chicago than originally thought. Who are the lastest folks to raise the...

More often than not, football fans tend to look at the present more than the future. We talk about this year's draft, not the draft in 2010. We talk about this year's starters, not who might start in 2 years. And we talk about this year's free agents, not who will be a FA in 3 years. Chicago Bears fans are typically very restless, ready for action right now. And with the offseason that we are having,...

Reading that we were going to be at the 80 man roster limit once we finish getting our rookies signed really made me start looking at who we have on the roster now, and at what positions. Are we on our way to being a well-oiled machine, or do we have severe pruning to be done early? Here goes my attempt at a very simplified breakdown of positions and possible cuts, and then I'd like to see everyone...
