When I go to the window with an NFL investment opportunity, I rarely jump on trends.

Dan, when you and I talk Bears , we have fun because it's the team we're most passionate about.

With JA trading away yet another first day pick, is he finally admitting that he isn't good at drafting on the first day.

We have covered it here before but it's worth going over again. One of the reasons the Bears are in such a good position with the salary cap this season is because they manage to do a pretty good job of limiting their dead cap space.

The Bears have lost players to injuries during the voluntary offseason workout program the past few years, but there is no concern Matt Forte's hamstring strain is serious.

Following the Bear's loss in the Superbowl, we were given the message from coaches and players to keep the faith and expect the Bears to be one of very few teams to avoid a 2007 "Superbowl hangover" . Of course, due to a variety of factors, the Bears had forgettable seasons in 2007 and 2008, missing the playoffs both seasons.

FIrst-round pick Peria Jerry limped off the practice field in Atlanta on Saturday.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. Even though the Bears have depth and experience at defensive end, don't be surprised if they at least consider bolstering the position in this weekend's NFL Draft.

The Bears ? general manager is sort of like Barack Obama after the Iowa primary, Mickey Rourke after quot;The Wrestlerquot;, and the Tampa Bay Rays after the 2008 season.
