Bears sniff around Shawn Andrews

We’re a little surprised that former All Pro guard Shawn Andrews hasn’t received more interest as a free agent, but that’s primarily because he’s not healthy enough to play football again.

The Bears are now the first team we know that have inquired with Andrews’ agent to find out a timetable for his return from a back injury, according to Michael C. Wright, now writing for ESPNChicago.

Andrews isn’t expected to be ready until June or July, and it’s uncertain what kind of market he could have because of his personal issues.

The Bears have also contacted former Saints guard Jamar Nesbit.

    Shawn Andrews hasn’t attracted any attention because he’s got no intention of playing another game of football professionally.

    Memo to other teams: this is what happens when you don’t build through the draft.

    Don’t bother, he doesn’t want to play football anymore. He thinks he is an artist now.

    As an Eagles fan, I wouldn’t wish Shawn Andrews on any team. Not even the Giants or Cowboys. Ok, maybe the Cowboys.

    He needs to fake an interest in football so that he can cling to some semblance of relevance, otherwise his twitter hits will go down. What a waste.

  15. LightningStrikes says: Apr 28, 2010 2:37 PM

    why, did he have honey in his pockets?

  16. jibfest says: Apr 28, 2010 3:06 PM

    They want him to DJ their new reception. Dude is why sports should be based on performance. Due away with paying these guys money, some of the them like Andrews and Russell get automatically lazy.

    What a waste of a very talented player, His Heart just isn’t there, between his back, his HEAD , and his lack of Heart. I wouldn’t go near him. Let him Stay home and make youtube videos.

    Sniff all you want Bears, you’re not going to like the odor coming off that dude.

  19. GoBears84 says: Apr 28, 2010 3:52 PM

    at least their showing some sort of interest in beefing up that terrible line….

  20. myeaglescantwin says: Apr 28, 2010 4:45 PM

    even though he’s mountain of a man,
    HE’S GOT NO HEART
    this guy doesnt wanna play football, he wants to be lazy and rap. He lives around me and is so outta shape.
    anyone who knows knows that back/nerve damage is undescribeable & doctors still dont know exactly how to handle it.
    that being said i wish sean wasnt sucha puss puss about the whole thing\
