Is anyone worried about Albert's back?

He's got to pass a physical to sign a new deal, so I'm somewhat concerned (especially w/ our history) but I feel confident that if he can pass a physical he's good to go.

Seems that all the OT who are free agents aside from Bushrod/Clady have some sort of back issue. Little worrisome but if they can pass a physical it shouldn't be a problem. Plus anyone of them is a much needed improvement.

What do you guys think of Delanie Walker as a possible flexg TE?
He has good hands, good speed and he comes from a winning team that makes him an interesting player and he should have a reasonable price.

I've ALWAYS liked Delanie Walker, like seriously, back to his rookie year when he was better receiver than Vernon Davis. I'd LOVE for him to be a Bear. Would be Phil Emery's Des Clark.

I am looking at reasonably priced free agent TEs and he was an interesting name.
If we could get him for 3-4 million a season I think it would be a steal and open us up in the draft.

Delanie Walker had the highest drop rate, by far, of all the TE's that qualified. He dropped over 30% of his passes.

We are looking for cheaper mid-level free agents and they are going to have to have some warts.
The drops are a concern, but guys like Keller and Cook are going to cost twice as much.

I personally believe that TE is the biggest need on this team - and in a situation where we need a TE to be an integral part of the offense I believe a 30% drop rate is bigger than a wart.
I'd rather commit the money to one of the top TE's available - or commit a first round pick to Ertz/Eifert.

Maybe we spread the free agent dollars around and instead of signing a LT we sign a RT [Loadholt] and a TE [Cook].

I'd be very happy with that off-season.
I also am higher on Webb than many here. If we could get a solid G next to Webb, I wouldn't have any problem counting on Webb as a LT in this WCO next season. Bring in a RT (as you say above) and a solid G (either draft or FA) - this line will have all the overhaul it needs.

We should get Gavin Escobar in the 4th and we neeeeed to resign Henry Melton. I think Urlacher will take a hometown paycut.

Escobar in the 4th would be ideal if he's there. Urlacher needs to take a vet min deal. I'd be upset if the money we gave him affected our ability to sign another younger player. |

I'd be cool with that though it seems MIN wants to bring Loadholt back.

Wasn't Evan Rodriguez supposed to be that guy? What ever happened to that?
