    I was pretty much just using the idea of solidifying the interior line for years to come. We do that, we get spencer and Garza fighting for the C job, we have Cwill fighting J'webb and if our RT can't stay healthy, Louis is there as backup.

    I will address this, tho, getting an expensive LG in FA is a very brilliant idea, if you have a decent LT and a C. Just ask the Jets about Alan Faneca or the Vikes about Steve Hutchinson. Honestly, if I picked up hicks, i would think about just trading up or if one fell to me, a LT. That guy would have it a lot easier than most offensive linemen rookies on this team. Allen from Clemson and Garcon are really the only two players that I think we NEED to get, and VJax isn't a fav of mine, nor is MWill...

    For those that are still using that $28 to $30 million range of cap space, keep in mind that we no longer have that. With the Tag of Forte (even assuming we reach a deal with him, it will still likely cost that much for this year, or close to it), we now have roughly $20 to $22 Mil. Now, we will probably also resign a couple of our own, like Izzy, Okoye, Graham, etc. We also have to have some cash for our rookie pool, but that is much smaller than it used to be. So the reality is, we will only have about $12 to $15 Mil to spend on new FA's. I know there is some other gerrymandering we can do with re-working contracts, etc, but that will likely only squeeze another $2 to $3 mil into our cap (if we're lucky) and they are saying the cap is going to be lower than expected.

    Bottom line is I do not know how we could even come close to some of the moves that are being projected around here. If we were to sign MWill, he would likely be the only new face we get in FA. Same goes with Nicks and V-Jax. We may be able to squeeze a second tier guy, but a BIG splash will more than likely be the ONLY splash, and if there are ripples, they will be small. I like the Royal idea as he could be one of those serviceable ripples, but there is no way we are getting more than one big name.

    Nicks would be a great addition to an offense that is going to prioritize the run! I'd also like to see the Bears use a 2nd or 3rd on a faster and explosive RB to compliment Forte.

    id actually prefer a bubble ass back that can run stuff into the endzone cuz we all know Forte has a fear of the redzone
