Asante might re-think the whole "coming to camp in two weeks" thing after seeing this.

BEARS PAY PEANUT
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Chicago Bears have struck a deal with cornerback Charles Tillman on a contract extension.
It's a six-year extension worth $41.5 million, and the contract includes $18.5 million in guaranteed money. Tillman is signed through 2013.
Last month, the Bears signed cornerback Nathan Vasher to a six-year, $28 million contract, with $14 million in bonuses and a total payout of $15.6 million through 2008. Vasher is under contract through 2012.
Still waiting for a long-term deal (and we hope he's not holding his breath) is linebacker Lance Briggs, the team's franchise player. Briggs has been tendered a one-year deal worth $7.2 million, but he has not yet accepted the offer.
