Hopefully he resigns. He's a great STer and a very solid backup capable of spot duty.

No chance at all they sign Lawson. He will garner a ton of interest from 3-4 teams. I wouldn't be surprised if they pursued McIntosh, but I think the Bears will go hard after Chicago native Quincy Black. He's a perfect fit in a cover 2 defense as a SAM linebacker. If not him, Durant would be a fine signing. Although he's about as injury prone as Pisa is.

I doubt Roach goes anywhere. His value is the highest w/ the Bears.

Roach as backup is fine by me, adds a bit more depth to our roster as well. Just as long as we find someone to fit that position.

The unnamed source here is probably someone involved with contract negotiations. Almost 2 years ago, Roach was asked to fill in at MLB with almost zero experience. Granted, defensive coverages were blown right and left b/c he obviously couldn't read an offense...but he still made plays. Pisa and that knee are good for half a season The Bears probably need Roach more than Roach needs the Bears imho.

Apparently not which makes signing Roach a bigger priority.

I don't blame the Bears for not wanting this man.

Not surprised. He'll play ST and get some PT at SAM linebacker

#Bears will sign LB Nick Roach to what is believed to be a two year contract. Key signing to maintain continuity at linebacker.
