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

#Roach was assured by #Lovie Smith & Bob Babich he'd return as starting SAM LB, rejecting offers from 3 other teams. 6 other longterm deals

That is less encouraging news honestly. Roach as a starter versus as a backup is significantly different. Really need to address the depth on this team at multiple spots.

I thought Roach was a liability as a starter. I remember him getting toasted by Tony Gonzales not too long ago. But they don't seem to have another option. This is where the failed draft picks really sting. They have to sign Roach as a starter because they have no other choice, same with Kreutz. I hope he works out.
