If that's true, it's an incredibly shrewd move for a franchise that is normally anything but.

They are on the hook for him for only one really expensive season (in a cap-less year), unless he's awesome and they want to keep him around (assuming there's football in 2011.)

Jim Hendry was aghast at the lack of a no-trade clause, however.

Well Hub (and I know that's not the best source since he's Hub and he writes for a rival publication) said that Florio has had issues verifying his sources all the way and said that Peppers' agent should be fired if it's true, which I can't argue with. I did kind of wonder about a 7 yr deal for someone who's been in the NFL for 8 seasons (would make him 30 now, right?), but this would be a great protection for the Bears

Well, the end of the deal is always bullshit.  The only thing that matters is guaranteed money.

Teams and agents tack on a bunch of junk at the end to make it look more impressive.

"Bears signed FB Eddie Williams to a one-year contract.
A seventh-round pick by Washington last year, Williams is a versatile fullback prospect with H-back type skills. He'll be in the mix for a roster spot.

Thanks for the big scoop there, Pulitzer.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

Also, the only major free agent news I want to hear from the Bears is that they've signed a tremendously awesome safety.

Other than that, don't care.

What I saw in Rozner's column was news that the Colts released Ryan Lilja. Is he worth a flyer?

Maybe Pelle Lindbergh.
