has the head to win consistently in this league.

Could they have gotten better on the FA market? Probably not...but I'd like to think they tried everything in their power to NOT have to go all in like this.

it was either this, or franchise tag him for one year, and revisit it again next season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:28 7
- I don't know the Bears situation...like do they have someone else they need to Franchise or anything... - Jim Jan 2, 09:30 6
  - They have over 40 million in cap space now, but have a lot of free agents, too. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 09:52
  - I think the deal probably gives them some relief cap-wise next year from what franchising would have. They have a ton of players they need to sign. - pmb Jan 2, 09:39 2
    - I am very interested on what they do with Tillman. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:53 1
      - If they can afford him I'd sign him for 2 more years. I think he's still one of the top 5 CB's in the league, but he's got to stay healthy. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 09:58
  - they have some $ coming off the books this off season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:36
  - Their punter. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:32
