Per rotoworld:
Bears acquired DE Gaines Adams from the Buccaneers in exchange for what is believed to be a 2010 second-round draft pick.
While the Bucs appear to be mailing in the season by dealing off their most gifted pass rusher and nearing insertion of their underclassman rookie quarterback, Bears GM Jerry Angelo is in the talent acquisition business. Trading first-day picks is rarely advised, but it's different when the return is a 26-year-old with dominating ability. Bucs defensive coordinator Jim Bates, who's clearly lost his touch, couldn't get enough out of Adams. It's a good be that Bears line coach Rod Marinelli can.
Seems like a pretty good deal for the Bears. It seems like Adams was coming into his own, but it was just a case of a bad player-coach relationship. This immediately bolsters the Bears D. Do they even have any draft picks next year now?
