all that does is help with not paying him, doesn't help you on field, doesn't help you as pitts and giants found out when misses all the meetings and gets suspended and not on team come sunday, does it? Don't think matters if lose and plexiglass jsut has less in his wallett does it?.. not to mention then the "opportunity cost" of having gotten him instead of let's saya rice. flyod or another WR, who is solidly producing elswhere and could have bene on bears w/o the problems and suspensions.. do not think it eas easy as saying 'well give him an incentive deal" and that's the end of it.. incentives on Giants didn't stop him from breaking rules, missing practies and gettign suspended and beign a royal pain did it?

Disagree with that- he was suspended on pitts for missing meetings and practices ,, then did the same thing on Giants, people forget even before the shooting incident, he had again been suspended from team, for missing meetings, not showing for practices etce tc.. that is a big problem on 2 different teams

you are 100% right. He was just a natural talent. He puts the minimum amount of work in offseason and practice. Eli always criticised him for that and so did the coach. He isnt a team guy

didn't help with giants( had over $1 mill in fines AND lost $20 mill ), why would it with bears?

Something tells me he is going to devote more attention to a team that is willing to pay him. He knows he does not have many years left in his career so I would think he will become more of a team player.
