Dickerson and Wright @ESPNChiBearsRaiders to cut Kamerion Wimbley if he does not restructure deal, per @JasonLaCanfora. Would give Bears another pass rusher to explore in FA.
NO question I would sign him.
You cannot just look at the sack numbers he is so disruptive and causes so many problems in the passing game.
He puts more unrecorded pressure on QBs than anyone I have seen in the last couple of seasons.
Sounds good on the surface but it's the Raiders. Does this guy have any on or off the field issues?
I know in the past Lovie has really like this guy and we went after him when he was traded to the Raiders.
I wonder how much less than Avril he will be looking for and whether he wants to come to Chicago.
I would offer 5 years 30-35 million to him because of how disruptive he is in the passing game.
He's certainly worth some consideration but he won't hold a candle to a guy like MWill. This guy is an upgrade and MWill is a dominator and that's a whole different story. And QB pressures are a recorded stat so why wouldn't he be getting credit for them?Quote:

That said, he is a football player.
Sad to say it, but the problem with the Raiders has always been Al Davis. He was living in another decade, where he believed in loyalty to players he drafted, gave them way too much money, instead of using FA like he shouldve. Reggie McKenzie is really shaking the raiders up and changing how they do business, which is actually exactly what they need.Quote:

Let's no screw around maybe. Sign the big guy. If TE's are in vogue right now so are DE's. Mario Williams for President!!!Quote:

I think if we cannot get M Williams, Wimbley is the next best option as Avril looks like he is getting tagged.
Does this mean you're on board with going after Mario? With the right contract structure in place, of course.*Quote:

I do not think we will have the financial power to pull of the deal and make the best offer. There are teams that have 40 million in cap space and will have no problem out bidding us.
