I hope he does stay for now. It may be the better career move for him if he believes in the Bears this season. It could open up something even better for his career next year.
Hey, anyone remember how much stock we all put into how fast we got our draft picks signed? Ah, memories.
Memory lane of the glory years of signing players the quickest in the NFL.
It was a thing of beauty to watch 'em quickly sign first rounders like Chris Williams, Gabe Carimi, Shea McClellin, Cedric Benson, Rex Grossman, and the rest back in the glory years of the Bears gettin' the boys to sign those contracts fast. We always won the "contract signing game" back then.

Those losers KNEW they weren't getting signed anywhere else and jumped at the chance to sign here.

They didn't sign Benson anywhere near as fast as he should have signed. He still holds the longest rookie holdout in Bears history. It's the only record he'll hold sadly.

I had forgotten that. But now that you mention it I do remember. I had such high hopes for him when we drafted him. Now in hindsight I wish we never had brought him here.
