So who is Brandon Lloyd ???

Well he's not the "person" in the Grossman jersey pictured up above, he is the Bears new wide receiver. Lloyd, 26, who has averaged 14.5 yards per catch on 130 catches in his career, is capable of providing that burst of speed and playmaking ability the Bears lost in Berrian. His five years of experience should be useful in helping the development of less-experienced receivers Mark Bradley and Devin Hester

His addition gives the Bears more depth with Berrian and Muhsin Muhammad gone and restricted free-agent Rashied Davis possibly headed elsewhere. Signing Lloyd, however, shouldn't keep the Bears from pursuing a receiver in the April NFL draft.

Lloyd could be a major risk. San Francisco picked him in the fourth round in 2003, and he fell out of favor with some of his 49ers teammates for being outspoken.

The Washington Redskins traded third- and fourth-round picks for Lloyd before the 2006 season, then signed him to a multiyear contract that included $10 million guaranteed. But Lloyd was suspended for one game in '06 for throwing his helmet and reportedly had a profanity-laced tirade against his wide receivers coach. Head coach Joe Gibbs told Lloyd to stay home for another game last season after the receiver missed a meeting.

Lloyd lost his starting job, went on injured reserve with a broken collarbone and missed the final seven games of the 2007 season after catching only two passes. He was released by the Redskins last month, ending his two-year stint with them with only 25 catches and no touchdowns.

Will he work for the bears? Lets hope so, he seems troubled enough to fit in.

Slow news day..time for more party pics

Well the new has been slow since Marty Booker joined the team, so i thought I would share some Orton Party pics..enjoy!!

Marty Booker has returned

Bears in desperate need of a wide receiver, sign Marty Booker to a 2 year deal. Booker, originally a third-round pick of the Bears in the 1999 draft, was traded to the Dolphins in 2004 in the deal that brought defensive end Adewale Ogunleye to Chicago. Booker, 32 on July 31, joins an unproven receiving corps that includes Devin Hester and Mark Bradley. The Bears lost their top receivers from last year, with Berrian going to the Vikings and Muhsin Muhammad getting released and signing with the Panthers. Look for Booker to be the bears #1 reciever this year unless a miracle happens.

Briggs is in!

Lance Briggs 3 time ProBowler has decided to make his keep with the Chicago Bears. This comes as kind of a suprise seeing as how On March 12, 2007 Briggs announced he no longer considers himself a member of the Chicago Bears. During a cell phone interview with Foxsports.com Briggs said "I am now prepared to sit out the year if the Bears don't trade me or release me, I've played my last snap for them. I'll never play another down for Chicago again." In explaining his demands, he said "The Bears have shown I'm not in their long-term plans so if that's the case, I don't want to be here." A report from FOX Sports on March 27 claimed that the Washington Redskins allegedly offered the Bears their first round pick in exchange for Briggs and the Bears' own first round pick. On March 28, Bears general manager Jerry Angelo confirmed that the Redskins have made a trade offer and stated, "We'll evaluate if that's good for us and get back to them". Angelo deferred the offer on April 3, but later stated they were interested in negotiating a deal the following day.

Briggs did not attended the team's first meeting after their Super Bowl XLI loss, or their mandatory mini camp session in May 2007.^[10][11]

On March 1, 2008 the Bears re-signed Briggs to a six-year, $36 million contract to remain a Chicago Bear.

Interesting History for ole Briggs and the Bears. Personally im a fan of him staying..the stats speak for themselves:

In 2004 he led the team in tackles with 168, and was elected as a second alternate to the Pro Bowl. In 2005, Briggs was selected to represent the National Football Conference in the 2006 Pro Bowl

Now go get some wide recievers!!!!

Aint no lie...bye bye bye (Berrian)

No it aint no lie..or a boy band song....Bernard Berrian is going to be leaving the Bears. This last week Berrian had been visiting with our division enemy the Minnesota Vikings, and the word is he isn't comming back. Berrian led the Bears with 71 receptions for 951 yards and five touchdowns last season. The Bears had offered him a $25 million, five-year contract with $8 million to sign. They remained in discussions with agent Drew Rosenhaus during Berrian's visit to Minnesota, but couldn't lure him back. While this isnt breaking news, we all saw it comming, it leaves a Huge hole in the WR spot for the bears. Hester has made a statment that he would like to compete for a WR spot, it is an interesting proposition with his blazing speed, but they need some proven skill not someone new. The bears better be willing to dig into thier pocket books this offseasons or they are going to be in big trouble come preseason.
