    Bears trade Payne to Rams for draft pick

    The Chicago Bears traded safety Kevin Payne to the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.
    The Bears added depth to the position through the draft by selecting Florida's Major Wright in the third round, and by trading linebacker Jamar Williams to the Carolina Panthers for safety Chris Harris on Tuesday.
    Payne started 22 of 32 games over three seasons for the Bears. The fifth-round pick in 2007 notched 195 tackles, four interceptions, 10 pass break-ups and one sack with the Bears.

      A hard hitting guy, productive until something happened last year from what I've read. I love this defensive backfield commitment that we have shown this off season. All are physical press guys or at least know how to hit. If OJ can come back great!, but if he cant then I think we'll survive with all the competition of decent talent to work with.

      GO RAMS!!!

        This is a bit unexpected. With Atogwe, Butler, and Dahl, I would have thought safety would be as close to a strength as we have on the defense.

          Atogwe's sports hernia and shoulders surgery at 28, isn't sitting well with me personally. I'd like to see him come back but the news of that hernia (which may never go away) makes me think a backup plan is great.

          Btw: Any defensive player with the name "Payne" is always welcome.......

            Blazer says we got him for a 7th round pick and that is conditional on whether or not he makes the team.

                Supplemental Draft

                Looks like the Rams did not think Unga was worth a 7th round pick. The Bears get the guy for next years 7th. That was a steal and for the Rams having so much unknown talent backing up Jackson Unga would have been a great addition at a very low draft pick.

                Hope the FO know more than us fans and did not make the move for a reason?

                Bears Quietly Shopping Briggs

                BEARS QUIETLY SHOPPING BRIGGS

                Although teams technically aren't allowed to use the franchise tag solely as a means to obtain trade value for a player who is eligible for unrestricted free agency, there's growing talk/speculation in league circles that the Chicago Bears don't plan to keep linebacker Lance Briggs, and that they applied the franchise to him for the sole purpose of facilitating a trade.

                Per a league source, the Bears have talked with several teams about a trade for Briggs. The veteran outside linebacker, who has become a star in the Tampa Two defense, technically will not be under contract until he signs the one-year tender offer that the team has extended to him.

                This means that Briggs can skip the entire offseason, training camp, and the preseason before reporting, while still receiving the full amount of the $7.2 million that will be guaranteed as soon as he signs it.

                Would the Bears be interested in trading for Bradford during the draft?
                by Haste
                Heard it on 101Espn the other day, and a guy commented on if the Rams and Bears would do Alshon Jeffery for Bradford.


                Would either side even consider this? The Bears need a QB, and if the coach is somehow still there, he will be taking chances and have a 'win-now' mode.


                And we need a #1.

                Bears make final offer to Benson
                by txramsfan
                http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/4039938

                LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - Upset and frustrated that running back Cedric Benson is still a holdout and the only first-round draft pick without a contract agreement, the Chicago Bears have made their final offer to the No. 4 pick.

                "After missing all of training camp, we want to make it abundantly clear that the Chicago Bears have made their best and final offer to Cedric Benson," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement released by the team.

                "No dollars are left on the bargaining table and at this point the only contract discussions that will be entertained will be reflective of the considerable loss of value to the club created by the players' extended absence," the statement said.

                Benson's holdout reached its 26th day Thursday and the former Texas star has already missed two preseason games. The Bears' training camp at Bourbonnais, Ill., ended Wednesday.

                The Bears are back at their Halas Hall training facility and play again Saturday at Indianapolis. They have two exhibitions remaining after that before opening the regular season Sept. 11 at Washington.

                The Bears have been burned by holdouts from first-round running backs in the past, most notably Curtis Enis, who was drafted in 1998 and is who is no longer in the NFL after a disappointing injury-plagued career.

                "The Chicago Bears have always placed a premium on having our players in camp on time," Angelo said noting that two other first-rounders represented by Benson's agent, Eugene Parker, were in on time - quarterback Rex Grossman and defensive tackle Tommie Harris.

                "The failure to reach an agreement on a fair and reasonable contract has been a huge disappointment," Angelo said, encouraging Benson to end his holdout and report to camp.

                The Bears expected Benson, the fourth overall pick in the draft, to challenge incumbent Thomas Jones for playing time.

                "There is nothing new," Parker said Thursday evening, adding that he did not have a reaction to the Bears' statement.

                Bears turn down Washington's offer for Brigg's
                by viper
                http://www.rotoworld.com/content/Home_NFL.aspx

                "The Bears turned down Washington's offer of trading the sixth pick of the NFL Draft for Lance Briggs and the 31st overall pick.

                The Bears reportedly want Rocky McIntosh included in the deal and will wait out the Redskins. While it seems like Chicago is passing on a good deal, they are rightly in no hurry and understand the economic insanity of being forced to pay a top-six pick a $15 million signing bonus."

                Does anyone think Washington or anyone else will up the anty?...
