Chicago Bears Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: Mike Montgomery, mvn.com/nfl-bears

Team Needs: OL, QB, RB, S

Key additions: WR Marty Booker (Miami), WR Brandon Lloyd (Washington)

Key Losses: Bernard Berrian (Minnesota), Mushin Muhammad (Carolina), LB Brendon Ayanbadejo (Baltimore), QB Brian Griese (Tampa Bay)

Key Free Agents Retained: LB Lance Briggs (Resigned), QB Kyle Orton (Resigned), S Brandon McGowan (Resigned)

Free Agency Notes: The Bears seem to be removing what talent they have to streak down the sidelines with equally as old Veterans (Muhammad for Booker) and less promising talent (Berrian for Lloyd). Also, while we have nothing to be proud of at the quarterback position, the retention of Orton gives us time to ease in a new quarterback. Also, the resigning of Lance Briggs brings more stability to the a defense that has the potential to flick the switch and become dominant once again. The Bears biggest problem aside from the quarterback problem is that they need to address the problems with their aging offensive line, as well as the runningback spot. Cedric Benson simply can't last the whole season and Adrian Peterson simply just isn't an every down back.

Grade: C

Review of Grade: With no offensive line moves made the far, the only real highlight is the retention of Briggs. No new big playmakers have been added to the squad, and it looks like the Bears will rely heavily on their 11 draft picks in '08.
