Free Agent Moves

This article was supposed to be about my feelings on the upcoming Bears season, but wouldn’t you know it but the Bears threw all of us a major curve ball. The Bears brass told all of us that they were not prepared to make a major move in free agency, but they lied. So allow me to give you my two cents on the three new Bears.

Brandon Manumaleuna (TE)

For those who know me very well, I am not a Greg Olsen fan. I think he is what my father would call a “combine player”. Looks great on paper but does not live up to it on the field. Manumaleuna is a bad tush…like our rival Minnesota’s Jim Kleinsasser. He will blow you up on the line of scrimmage and maybe even catch a pass or two. Mike Martz wants this from the tight end position, and he got it. Desmond Clark still serves the Bears well as a number two, but for a change, Jay Cutler will get some sort of blocking out of his tight end, and with this guy, it will be light years ahead of Olsen.
Chester Taylor (RB)
Minnesota Vikings v Arizona Cardinals

All I can say is ha Minnesota! Not only did the Bears add a great running back to the roster, but weakened the Vikings. This guy is a talented back that will push Matt Forte to want it a little more. Plus, this now means that Adrian  “Fumble” Peterson will now have to carry the ball a few more times. Couldn’t hurt to see him giving the ball away.

Julius Peppers (DE)

Carolina Panthers v New England Patriots

The cream of the crop. The best free-agent out there…and he is a new member of the Chicago Bears. Do I even need to say anything else? Mr. Peppers can play. He wanted to be a Bear and wasted little time signing on the dotted line. This was a great move…no one can argue that!

OK, so the Bears have improved. While getting a good safety would have been nice, these three are a start. Jerry Angelo, Ted Phillips and the boys deserve some credit…OK, class dismissed!
