That being said, I sincerely hope the Bears start Paea this year. Imagine a defensive line with Paea and Melton on the inside and McClellin and Peppers on the outside starting for us. Now THAT'S RICH!

AA would be the logical choice but Tommie would be the sentimental one. Wonder if both their agents don't make a couple of exploratory phone calls.

Maybe we'll get lucky and some team will release a solid LT we can pick up. Somebody who still has some tread on the tires like Ruben Brown and Fred Miller had.

I would take Tommie Harris back simply because he still has his moments, but he would strictly be used as a backup on that team and nothing else.

What gets me about Tommie Harris is that the 2010 Divisional Playoff against Seattle, he had two sacks. Where the fuck was he the previous however many years? Surely his leg injury didn't extinguish the fire inside to compete.

Idk if he will even play this season after his wife passed away. He never was strong mentally here so I don't think he would have his heart into it

That why they were looking at Adam Goldberg.

Or maybe somebody could motivate him to dedicate his return to her. I think as much as he dogged Tommie at the end there are few of us who wouldn't like to see him make a mini comeback even if it was just as a backup for one year.

Tommie Harris was a lot like Ndamukong Suh is now, only I don't think he ever put up more than 8 sacks in a given season. He was a beast, and I would like to see him back in a Bears uniform even if he is going to be a backup. I hope that the death of his wife will give him a new-found lease on life and that he will come back with great pride about himself and what he does for a living.
