I'm not asking for the big $$ players, but more than a backup O-linemen would be nice. They are very weak at WR and Safety, so Sharper would plug a hole I guess. I would have really liked to keep Mike Brown, but I have to agree with the Bears on this one. Re-signing an aging, injury prone safety doesn't make much sense.

Maybe one year, but not two. Age has already had an impact on his game.

I think the Bears have made one of the best moves in the league this offseason. They let Rex Grossman go.

Yes, they are in the market for a backup QB too. Heard rumors about Garcia or Simms. Either could probably compete for the starting job too, although Simms is one bad shot away from ending his career or worse.

While there are crickets from Lake Forest, Minnesota is courting Houshmandzadeh. Having him and Berrian in the same offense would be interesting. Sage wouldn't have any excesses.

Isn't Anquin Boulden (sp) from Arizona a free agent? Imo Orton's not the problem and adding a receiver like Boulden would transform that Bear offense. If they don't improve at wide receiver this off season I don't have much hope for the coming year.
