Could you imagine being allergic to water??

Only thing worse would be being allergic to hops. I have a friend who is.

First thing the Bears need to do is lock up there own guys. Set to hit FA in 2013

Armando Allen RB
Zack Bowman CB
Jason Campbell QB
Nate Collins DT
Kelvin Hayden CB
Geno Hayes Lb
Israel Idonije DT
Johnny Knox DT
Lance Louis G
Patrick Mannelly ST
Henry Melton DT
DJ Moore CB
Amobi Okoye DT
Chilo Rachal G
Nick Roach LB
Chris Spencer G
Brian Urlacher LB

Then have these guys going into the last year of there contract
Kyle Adams TE
Jay Cutler QB
Robbie Gould K
Devin Hester WR
Tim Jennings CB
Charles Tillman CB
J'Marcus Webb T
Eric Weems WR
Edwin Williams C
Corey Wootton DE
Major Wright S

I would like to see most of those guys resign. Guys like Melton, Cutler, Jennings and Tillman are all probable 6+ a year type guys. IMO it makes sense to try to keep the O line together for a second season and resign Rachel and Louis. But on the flip side wouldn't be totally against letting them go and spending 2 of the top 4 picks on guards to replace them.

Focus

We may want to resign Campbell as a back-up if he plays well MN.

If he plays well I don't see him settling for a back up gig.

[DESERTDWELLER]

This is true. Where did he grow up at? Maybe he's a Bear Fan too and would want to be here.

He's from Mississippi. Call me crazy but I was hoping for a neckbeard return as a back up next year

I hate to say it, but I wouldn't complain. Not really an Orton fan, but he would be a solid backup. I'm not sure if he would want to come back though.
