Bears Sign Brandon Lloyd to One-Year Deal

Can someone explain what the hell the Bears are doing this off-season? Are they trying to lose? The Bears could possibly have one of the worst offenses in NFL history next year. Fantasy graveyard!

They resigned Grossman though, so they are building around their centerpiece ;)

Wait, I thought we were going to make Lloyd a June 1 cut?

Are you allowed to designate as June 1 and play for another team before then? must be a courtesy to the player, and a loop hole for the team. Anyone know the rule?

It was changed on the last CBA to give players a better opportunity to catch on with another team. For accounting purposes he stays on the Redskins books until June 1 (and thus the cap hit this year is lessened - and we actually get relief, but get cap hit in 2009) but he is free to sign anywhere else.

makes sense. I hear the next CBA is going to ban cheating...lol

I just got a call... the Bears are flying me in for a workout Monday! I was a stud in high-school, caught 4 passes for 19 yards. BL and I could be a fantastic duo!

but you arent coming off of an over priced contract...

Wow. It actually happened. I had heard that Ron Turner really wanted Brandon Lloyd on the Bears but I thought it was just Lloyd's agent running his mouth. Guess not. Guess Ron is no brighter than his brother Norv.

Oh well, good for him.

Ron coached him in college when he played at Illinois. I guess he thinks he can recreate his college days.

Arch can play, he's a strong safety not a free safety doesn't have the speed, i know they must of got BL for less than the league minimum (he probably had to pay them) and i like BL.

don't know how fast he is now, but ARch ran a 4.4 at the combine. I know that was 6 yrs. ago or so. He's had a back injury that seemed to affect his ability to cut & turn on the run. He definitely can't cover & he even looked timid v. the run while here. Seems over the hill under 30.

You like BL?

I guess the Bears didn't learn from our mistakes completely, they had to learn from us somewhat because they didn't give him a 10 mil signing bonus. Either way though wth are they thinking? Grossman to Lloyd? Really?
