This may change our draft.

Glad we stuck with our offer, it would have been really nice to have gotten him on a 1 year 6-7M deal but glad we didn't pay those numbers.
Let's lock down Sherm/E.T!

On the up side, the FO didn't get swindled in a deal and we should have the coin to extend our superheroes.

Lance Briggs, Israel Idonije, Charles Tillman, Jared Allen, Jeremiah Ratliff, D.J. Williams, Kelvin Hayden, Tim Jennings all are 30+. #Bears

Bears way overpaid. I'm relieved we didn't pay Allen that. I wasn't OK with anything over $6m a year on a 1 or 2 year deal.
I've been saying all along that his sacks last year were mostly coverage sacks. While he would get a lot here with our secondary, I don't want to pay a guy a lot of money that can't create his own (like Avril and Bennett can). We can get much cheaper alternatives that can get coverage sacks.
Sources also said that Allen’s wife was not enamored with Seattle in her two visits here and didn’t like the city. Really? Maybe she was here on a couple of typical, rainy and gray winter days, but enjoy those winters in Chicago.
