Yep, the bears did it. They put their names in the record book. They just gave out the most guaranteed money ever in an NFL contract. 42 million. Julius Peppers, I expect to see you in the backfield on every play!!! Look Peppers isnt the best DE in the league. Top 5 definitely. and certainly not the best defensive player in the nfl. but he is getting paid like one. This is a move by the bears to try and win and not worry that they had to overpay to get a player. He will be good and hopefully great.
The bears also signed Chester Taylor which think is a hell of a move and maybe better than peppers. they get him for 4 yrs at 3 mill/yr. Thats a very good contract for a guy who i have no question could be a 1000 yard rusher. Plus you take him away from the vikes. another bonus.
The big TE will hopefully help the run game. And that is pretty much the only time i want to see him on the field.
But really this signals a last gasp by the bear's management team. Does anyone doubt now that Angelo, Lovie and the rest were told that they have a year to make the playoffs or they would be canned. Angelo & Lovie have never spent big in free agency until now. Until their jobs were really on the line. They have added some good pieces and overpaid to do so. so the question is will they be around to see the results of these big contracts............
