    He's not under contract with Green Bay, but he's also not eligible for free agency. He hasn't been in the league long enough.

    Essentially it comes down to "Play for Green Bay, or don't play at all."

    He'll be in uniform in 2008.

    More on his situation as an "Exclusive Rights Free Agent:"

    This is the perfect example of someone who could sue under anti-trust laws and win.

    You mean people don't fear the mighty Bears offense? It's as anemic as the one in Michigan you say? Son of a gun.

    Lets not forget the bears were the #14 passing offense in yards last year. missing 3 of the 4 starters from teh secondary for most of last year, the 3 better ones, was probably more damaging. Prepare for a bears division title.

    The Bears lost Muhsin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian. Have they signed Rasheid Davis yet? I think they lost their two best WR's.

    Rex throwing to Davis, Hester, or Olson is not exactly frightening. Their passing game will be ranked in the lower third of the league in 2008.

    Dick-Rod is making Michigan run the spread. Good time in AA this year.

    It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what you just wrote. I think Blackadder was referring to the Lions though. "Dick spread" LOL

    I have visited Ann Arbor before. That stadium is huge! I've also been to Glen Arbor, which is much smaller than that other Arbor.

    Don't forget bradley + clark! It will be exciting. A 2 TE set that you can effectively run and throw from. A resurgent running game and a healthy defense. WATCH OUT LEAGUE

    I love how Bears fans always talk about the Bears, when the topic does not deal with the Bears... Who else agrees?

    Dont blame the Bears fans for that, blame Favre, hes the one that made the deal....

    from 2003:
    Brett Favre, on behave of the Packers, trades the rights to all future Packers threads to the Chicago Bears

    in return

    the Chicago Bears agree that Brian Urlacher will take it easy on Favre if he comes unblocked from the backside
