Rolle may have to face Aaron Rodgers twice, but he will be getting pics in practice all week long! All kidding aside I want Rolle, Kampman, Peppers, Lutui, and whoever else they can get their hands on. Of course, their hands would have to leave their pockets first so…

So what? They need him, sometime you have to pay a premium price to keep a guy off the market. They are going to have to pay him a heck of a lot to get him to Chicago anyway.
“Why not just trade a 7th round pick for him?”
“Because the Bears would be obligated to pay his $4 million roster bonus.”

I hope the Skins get him.

Rolle is a good player not a great one. Either way he will be overpaid . He has big play potential but also gives up the big play. Decent but not great.

Rolle won’t sign with the Bears. He’d have to play against Aaron Rodgers twice a year.

I think the Vikings should sign him

I love these “news” stories. True, the Bears could target Antrelle Rolle (and hopefully they will). They also COULD target Betty White. That’d be as legit a story right now.

please stop all this talk about who the bears will target because at the end of the day that is all it will be talk.they can let it be known they are interested but when it comes down to signing the players where they have to actualy spend money on them then forget it! they will say we looked at them but the cost was to high and we believe in the lovie and the players we have. expect another 7-9 season if not worse.

Why not just trade a 7th round pick for him? Then there would be no need to bid for his services on the open market. There would be no cap hit for the Cards, and a seventh round pick is virtually useless.

“Is this the same cheap Bears organization we’ve known for the past 30+ years?”
Sixburgh6- You might want to do some research before throwing out numbers, pal. The Bears had the 5th highest payroll in the NFL in ’09. It’s not how much they spend, but how they spend it.

this would be a good player for the Bengals to look at. They have a need at safety and Rolle is a decent player.

Add FS to the long list of needs for the Bears- DE, G, RT, backup RB, and possibly CB and WR.

The Bears better be all over this guy even if they have to overpay he is the only free agent safety that could really help us and our draft picks at safety have all failed lately. The only guy in our secondary making decent money is Tillman and Vasher will likely get cut. Add Rolle and Kampman (if healthy) and the Bears might be back in the playoffs.

Bring Back Mike Brown to start @ SS (he is a free agent, just checked), Sign Rolle for FS, get rid of every safety we have except 2 for back ups!

Rolle quote after playoff game against the Packers, “Forget Drew Brees… I don’t want to play against Rodgers again.”

Awesome. I hope they target every free agent. Peppers, Rolle, Robinson, T Jones, LT. Sign them all and justify the raise in ticket prices.

They should work out a sign and trade so the Bears can get rid of those pesky draft picks they hate so much.

Its nice to see the team express interest in Rolle and Peppers….If they could snag both, or at least Rolle and Peppers, it would be huge for us…It’s not like we have a 1st or 2nd round contract to negotiate!!

All these stories about the Bears targeting this and targeting that in free agency.
Is this the same cheap Bears organization we’ve known for the past 30+ years?

someone in the Bears organization has a big mouth. all these available players that aren’t available yet…Kampman, Peppers, Rolle. All to the Bears.
Pretty sure sign of a make or break year for front office and head coach.

Safety is the #1 need for the Bears defense (even more than pass rush). Bringing in a vet like Rolle makes all the sense in the world. And without a 1st or 2nd round pick this year, Da Bears aren’t going to improve that position via the draft so might as well go out and sign a FA who can help you.
Now whether Rolle would want to go to the Bears is another question entirely.
