Gaines Adams to the Bears for a 2nd round pick

[Sharkweather]

I was waiting for Leaf.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I can't believe they got a 2nd rounder for this bum.

The Rams need to trade Jackson--NOW.

Lol....I was waitin for Leaf too.

Leaf you would know more than me, as you have seen him undoubtedly more than me. But with Wale playing well, (contract year) and more than like to leave and/or demanding high money, I dont mind this.

And also, Gaines Adams has never been fortunate to work with Rod Marinelli. I thought all the Rod M talk was just lip service, but seeing the D line play the way they are, I have to at least give him the the benefit that he can help Gaines produce.

Also happy cuz this means they didnt do anything INCREDIBLY stupid...like trading for TO.

All in all....hmmm not bad.

Also last year...Didnt Gaines pick 6 Kyle Orton in OT? That was him right?

[Archer]

Nice move by the Bucs

[RainboUnicorn]

Let's see if Marinelli can do something with Adams.

I just realized we don't pick until the 3rd round next year.

Thats what im sayin....Lets see what Rod does with this guy. He made a football player out of Mark Anderson again this year so far.

[RainboUnicorn]

Wow I just saw his base salary the next 4 years:

2009: $900k
2010: $1.08M
2011: $1.1M
2012: $1.15M

If he plays anywhere close to his potential or even above average (hopefully because of Marinelli) then thats a GREAT deal for giving up a later 2nd round pick.

[Juggernaut]

Good trade for both imo, the bucs get a second which they can use and the bears get a young, high potential defensive linemen

They could have waited until the end of the season and given up nothing for Adams when the Bucs released him.
Great trade for the Bucs.

The next Braylon Edwards?

I hope so
Some words of wisdom: Its tough to give 100% when you're 100% sure you're going to lose.

[MVP1991]

This upcoming draft is going to be incredibly deep too.

Terrible move by the Bears.

The draft isn't deep, especially at QB and safety. But OT has some good depth.

[ZMnsr1]

WOW we got a 2nd round pick for this guy? STEAL.

bears fans who are happy: have fun watching him ran past the QB and take himself out of the play EVERY snap. thats the only move he really has.

It is going to be one deeper drafts in a long time. This is likely the last draft where rookies are going to get paid a stupid amount of money coming out so all the underclassmen will be coming out to make bank.

This draft will be deep.
