Wow an absolute ton of moves by the Bears so far this offseason.  Both Goldman and Mack restructure there deals for the Bears to gain cap space.

Then the Bears resigned B. Braunecker, sign Buster Skrine, sign Mike Davis, sign C. Patterson.  Seemly more moves to come.

When you have a lot of talent and are knocking not he door to Super Bowl its all about adding depth and filling some holes.  Keeping Ben B. was depth move, as was the other signing.

I like adding veteran like Skrine, however hopefully we will still pursue a rookie with more upside long run and add depth.  I think M. Davis is a nice player.   However I do not believe he is a starter.  I do think it adds depth and also signals that Howard is even more likely to be traded.  Just my opinion not saying I want that to happen, I like Howard.

C. Patterson signing does not thrill me.  5m annually for what?  A kick returner?  This is not D. Hester.  I think Patterson was solid for the Pats, but I always felt like they were utilizing him the best they could but he really was a player without a true position.  The thing that makes him valuable is his ability to play so many positions.  He is a backup at RB, WR and a start on special teams.  Just not a guy I would have signed for that money. 

With the Mack move, I think Bears are going for a bigger signing/trade than I previously thought they would.  I am thinking a S or possibly even a RB.
