Initial Reaction

Love the move, gives the Bears a versatile defender who is still improving and immediately gives the Bears a huge bump in run defense at LE and he brings a player that can pressure the QB.

The money seems correct. A little less than Johnson and Bennett, but in the same market. Those 3 players are very similar and they got paid similarly.

Lol you don't give 7 mill for a DE that doesn't get to the QB. This is a diabolical signing.

Holy shit I can't believe we're giving that kind of money to Houston. TERRIBLE signing.

Who should they have brought in. And how is it a terrible signing? Seems like a good fit, and it was a need.

Looks like we about to close on a deal for Mundy.

Emery has to make big FA splashes every year because he's a terrible drafter. Get ready for more years of no playoffs.

He had 41 hurries last year. I like the signing, and don't think the money is bad at all.

I can dig it. Wanted more from the Safety spot though. All in all a good 1st hour. Just want one DT and I can call it a successful day.

Melton's market is shrinking.
Well if we don't sign Melton or another of the bigger name DT's then we know what's up in the 1st round

The team is going in the wrong direction. I promise you the Bears will never play a playoff game while Emery is the GM. The only way for this team is down.

I won't totally agree with mick, but Emery hasn't drafted all that well in his first two drafts.

Some people are idiots. Houston's a really good player, he'll be a stud for us.

Other than Alshon, pretty much. Long is massively overrated. He's average at best. Mills struggled big time. Frey is a serviceable nickel.

McClellin, Bostic, Hardin, Greene. Shit after shit after shit.

Emery sucks.

The sky is falling might as well stop watching... He was a bargain compared to Johnson. Versitale lineman are in demand league wide. 7mil average is peanuts with the cap projection for the next two years

Why are people so quick to dismiss Bostic and Greene. They were rookies who were thrust into a horrible position last year. I'm glad, at the very least, that they got experience playing. Neither were supposed to get as much time on the field as they did.

But it's was their rookie year, guys. Give them at least until their second year. Look at Alshon. A lot of Bears fans thought he sucked.

i Just because Mills started every game doesn't mean he played well. Britton smoked him against GB, should be open competition between the two.
