Any team could do that, but it's not a cap-efficient way to accumulate draft picks.
It wouldn't add up. Those 5 guys (4 really because Harrison probably isnt even in the top 51) take up a net total of less than either of those guys would.
Fair enough.
We do play special teams too.
Just not so well that extra - or any - effort needed to be made to sign the JAGness of
Slater, White & Niko.
Can you blame him? He has been the Bears Offense and hasn't been rewarded for that service as yet.Wonder how long Forte will hold out now that bush has signed

Jeff Saturday's two-year deal in Green Bay is worth $7.75 million, including $4 million this season.
Saturday has had a great career. However, considering he will turn 37 a month before training camp starts, that sounds like a lot of money to be paying for his services. Seems to me that the Packers would have been better off either spending a little more and re-signing Scott Wells, or out-bidding the Pats for Dan Connolly, or gone after Samson Satele. To me it makes the Pats look like they got a bargain with the deal they signed with Connolly.
That is a ridiculous deal for a player that should be considering retirement.
Koppen would have been a better choice.

Seriously. In his position, I would hold out too. He already tore his ACL last year, and RBs don't last too long with the kind of usage that they're subjecting him to. It's just good business sense for him, especially since he already played out his "prove it" year and was a good soldier last season. Another season like that rarely pays out over the course of a RB's career, even if he does, in fact, "prove it". I'm sure that the bears know that too, which is probably why they haven't paid him already.
If time passes and Koppen is still out there, who knows, we might even end up re-signing him.
