First off Happy 4th of July to all fellow Americans. Was thinking about a veteran WR acquisition that would benefit the Bears without all the baggage of  pistols and beat up girl friends.  So after alot of research came up with a name.  This player came from:

1) A good college program ND.
2) Has not been in trouble with the law.
3) Is 6-5, 220 and would be a good target for Jay.
4) Does not have any legal issues or drug problems
5) The team he is on we have had good trade relations in the past.
6) Would not cost multiple draft picks and possibly not a high draft pick.

His name is Maurice Stovall, What do you guys think?

im sure the bears are fielding every offer they can come up with and recieve. as long as it isnt jones plax or marshall im cool

That would be a good start.  Then maybe they could talk Jeff Szamardija into putting his pads back on.  I was told his baseball contract was 3 years baseball exclusive though it was a 5 year deal in total.  I'm not sure and haven't googled it.

The NFL lost a great talent when he chose baseball.  Plus, he's a Sox fan so he must breakout in hives everytime he puts on his uni.

I ran out for milk and came home and found 2 future Hall of Famers on my team... Sweeet.

2009 Chicago White Sox AL Central Champs............ again.

And good luck to the Cubs...May they go 154-6 and lose in the bottom of the ninth in game 7 on a cold night in October......at Comiskey

Another big wr who is buried on his teams depth chart is Hank Baskett in Philly.   Unlike Stovall, Baskett has done some good things when given the chance to get onto the field during the regular season.

Hank Baskett would also be a good addition but it will be harder to take him away from Philly. I believe McNabb openly wanted the team to add more weapons for him. They did, but through the draft. So taking an experienced vet from that WR crew would be like going back a few steps.

Could be, but right now Baskett is the 5th or 6th wr on Philly's depth chart, behind Jackson, Curtis, Avant, Maclin. Reggie Brown, brandon Gibson, and Baskett may be in a camp battle for the last spot or two on the roster.

Well, if that's the case. IMO, we should go for it. Adding a young, experienced and big WR without the baggage would be good. They're no #1 but they can be with Cutler throwing to them. Just like any of our current receivers who could emerge as a #1 with our current QB. Either Baskett or Stovall would do just fine. Although, I would also prefer Baskett. Either of them will complement our current group of WRs well. Imagine Baskett or Stovall together with Hester, Bennett, Iglesias and Knox. That would be a formidable group.

brandon marshall with out the tommie talk

I know nothing about Baskett but I live in Tampa and had expected Stovall to becom for them  a good player for the Bucs but he's wasn't really used much.  I can't say whether it was lack of talent or he just wasn't one of Gruden's guys.  Overall, I would entertain the idea but he is just another under-utilized player like Rideau or Mark Bradley.  The Bears would still be "risking". 

 I think "risking", when it comes to wide receivers, is worthwhile. But it seems to be the #1 most-regurgitated crack of the  Bears by columnist, tv analysts, and half of the fan base, and all of the fans of other teams.  Bottom line, we're in no better position moving into the season than we are now, might as well keep what we've got.

Baskett or Stovall or Rideau would be fine as far as I'm concerned. If Rideau steps up (which I think he will), then, going for Baskett or Stovall would not be a necessity. I still believe that we're good to go with our current WR corps. I see Hester, Bennett, Iglesias and Knox being very good receivers for us. It would help us a lot though if Brandon Rideau could step up. Him stepping up would give Cutler that big target to throw to at WR. If not, Baskett or Stovall may be able to help us in that department.

I am a ND fan and loved watching Stovall and Samardjia and would love it if the Bears got one or the other. Though Samardja is out becasue he plays baseball so the leaves Stovall who would be a great possession and red zone threat (he could be the new Marshall ) It shouldn't cost more than a 4-5th round pick either since the Bucs really have little room for him after all of the money they wasted on Clayton and Winslow not to mention Bryant wants more money as well. Though I doubt it will happen since the Bears will be hesitant to trade any more picks away after the 3 for Cutler.

Hey the Steelers did alright last year with two 5'11 starting receivers. We should just stick with what we have.

The Eagles starting receivers weren't very tall, were they?

Still, a big possession guy can't hurt, even with our tight ends. Rideau might step up, and that would be cool. Baskett or Stovall could be good options. From what I read on Samardjia, I'd love to have him on the team. It's a shame he chose baseball over football.

"There are only about a dozen NFL quarterbacks with the arm, charisma and willpower to carry a team to the Super Bowl. Cutler is on that list; Kyle Orton is not. Yet the Broncos gave Cutler away to the Bears because he didn’t make a positive first impression on new head coach Josh McDaniels. Franchise quarterbacks are harder to find than Super Bowl coaches. In fact, franchise quarterbacks often make Super Bowl coaches." -Rick Gosselin

untill they prove they will be good we are going to continue seeing posts like this, so you may as well get used to it. It is annoying as all heck but that is the way it is.
