Strange FA Windfall Gives Bears a Huge Opportunity

I read its 2 years with a max value of $16.75m.  Wow that seems pricey for a 33yo OLB past his prime coming off 2 straight unimpressive seasons.

Hate to say it, but I think that will probably price Houston out of reach for us.  JH is younger and way better than Steroid Barbie at this point.

Although I'd love to see Houston in navy & orange, kind of don't see that happening anymore and I'd be happy with Nick Perry as a 2nd choice.  He's even younger and should be much cheaper on a 1 year/prove-it deal.

Last I read, we had about $16m in cap space left before the O'Donnell signing so prob about $14m now.  Need to set aside $5m for the draft class (which will be cheap since we lack any picks before the late-3rd) + a small reserve fund.  That leaves roughly $9m left.  Perry shouldn't cost more than a few mill and rest can/should be used to extend Whitehair this summer.
