Bears Land Roy Williams and Sign 1st-Rounder Carimi
No Footballic Ramblings today, folks. BUT to catch you up:
Roy Williams Has Inked a Deal with da Bears
Williams is probably the only major upgrade you're going to see at wideout. It ain't much. He's, by many standards, past his prime and his prime wasn't anything that sick and twisted to begin with. Still, it gives Cutler a decent (if not all speedy) downfield threat and maybe the Bears will snag something else? Plaxico? Which is also not much of anything, but the Bears don't have too much to offer right now.
2-1 Deal Outta Dallas Today
Sam Hurd, former Northern Illinois Husky, is joining up with the Bears aside his former Dallas Cowboy teammate, Roy Williams. Think of Hurd as a taller, younger, better Rashied Davis. He'll easily supplant Davis' role on special teams and in the receiving corps.
Bears Ink Carimi to Rookie Contract
More good news for Bears fans, Gabe Carimi, the UW-Madison left tackle/mountain of man, signed today. Meaning? All five of the Bears rookies will be in training camp tomorrow for the first, full day of hitting the pads (though, actually, it'll be no contact). Rejoice, Bears fans, Carimi could evolve into an actual offensive line stalwart and protect Cutler's fragile, egg-like skull!
