R. Rich Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 They certainly could use another offensive weapon. I hope he still has enough left to be their go-to guy. Of course, having stability at the QB position could go a long way towards helping Chicago out there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Any player who is cut is free to sign with anyone, and are considered a FA. Only players who weren't cut become UFA's on March 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 What will Freddie Mitchell think? Boy, the Campbell's Soup charm must not be all it's cracked up to be. Maybe Mrs. McNabb isn't as influential as she seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wing Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Wow! I had them taking a WR with the #4 pick in the draft...looks like they can solidy another position now with that selection. Great move by Da Bears! The NFC Norris has some stud receivers - Javon Walker in GB, Williams and Rogers in Detroit, Burleson in Minnesota, and now Muhammed in C-Town.

kasper13 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I heard on WGR that ESPN reported Muhammed signed with the Bears. Players cut by a team can sign with any other team before March 2nd. (i.e. Drew Bledsoe signing with Dallas and Muhammed with the Bears) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 If Muhammad can stay healthy, he is an excellent pickup for the Bears. At WR, Chicago has the overrated David Terrell and a bunch of 4th and 5th string WR's. He will turn 32 in 2005 and should have at least 3 good season left in the tank.

IDBillzFan Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 It is a good grab for the Bears, I like Muhammad, but who will get him the ball? 254050[/snapback] Exactly. This guy could be a premier receiver in this league. He was absolutely stunning last year. But I'm surprised he went to a team with so many question marks at the quarterback position. And he had been releasing soundbites that he didn't to leave Carolina, etc. So now he goes to Chicago? Just goes to show you...just when you think you know something.

In fact, they could use another player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resq45 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Transplant here in Charlotte and been watching the Panthers play for the last 5 years. Only thing that you can count on Moose for is to have a good year when his contact is up. The only two pro bowl years he had was those contract years. If that's what the Bears really paid for him.... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zook Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 To a multi-year agreement. I thought for sure it would be Philly 253882[/snapback] The Bears will regret this - he was an overpaid DOG for many years in Carolina, before playing well in the Superbowl. When Steve Smith was on the field he was non-existent I cant see how paying that much for a 32 year old receiver, who only played hard in a contract year, and benefitted from the #1 receiver being gone, will work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
