<b>This seems to say that Thompson/McCarthy are satisfied that
the young guys, C. J. Wilson and Mike Neal will fill the RT job
adequately.</b>

Getty ImagesAfter seven years on the Packers’ defensive line,
Cullen Jenkins assumes he’ll sign elsewhere in free agency.
Jenkins repeated Wednesday what he has previously said, that he
wanted to stay in Green Bay enough that he offered last year to
take less money to stay with the Packers than he thought he
could make in free agency, but the Packers weren’t interested.
“Heading into last year, I’ve always been up there and always
been a Packer, and I wanted to stay a Packer,” Jenkins said, per
Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com. “So we approached the team and
wanted to get some type of security, some type of longer-term
deal before the season so I would know I would be there. It
wasn’t about money, it was about security, about trying to see
if we could work something out.”
When asked if he would have given the Packers a hometown
discount, Jenkins said, “Yeah. That was the thought then. I knew
in going to them, I know Green Bay, I know the market, I know
how they handle business, and the thought was if we could get
something reasonable worked out, I knew I would take less than
what I could’ve gotten in free agency. But they never approached
me with anything and never got any type of negotiations going.
It’s just how the business is. They had a lot of younger guys
and felt they could move forward in that direction.”
So Jenkins expects to sign with another team, whenever free
agents are allowed to sign with teams. He may not have to move
his family too far, as the Bears are thought to be interested.

I had read that as well. However I am guessing with Paea now a
Bear they probably won't go after him as hard. Although they
may feel he is an upgrade to Adams and may be his replacement if
the price is right.
I prefer the Bears spend their free agent dollars on the O-line
personally. They need a center and a guard still.

I expect Angelo to bargain shop in FA except for maybe on the
OL. He might open his purse to buy an OL but I expect a lot of
other folks it will be if they fill a need and are reasonable.

They'll find somebody as an undrafted FA

If Tice knows his shiiit he may just have what he already needs
with Herman Johnson.
Hence : The lack of a push for OL in the third.
Then it moves on to Darryl Drake and what can he find in FA at
WR.
Remember : Drake had zero input into the draft in the last two
years.
He has to be tossed a bone somwhere to keep his credibility.

I have to agree here.
Let's pretend Bears can sign either Logan Mankins or Sidney
Rice.
I take Rice.

Hmmm! If I had one choice Mankins or Rice it would be Mankins
over Rice because better protection on that line gives Cutler
more time to get the ball to one of the existing receivers. TYVM
