Hey I was just checking out the free agents to be next year. Leonard Little contract should be up next year. He would be a good pick up for us next year.

Can't we just draft a DE instead?

Give me Gaines Adams.

I'm with you. Adams is a beast.

If Adams is there whenever we pick, I really think we'd be crazy not to take him.

We've needed a stud pass rusher for years and this kid fits the bill. He's at the top of my wish list for the 2007 draft.

I'd rather get a leon hall in the draft and pick up a DE in free agency because there's so many of them....dwight freeney (won't get him), but there's jared allen, leanord little, patrick kerney...all good replacements until the 2008 draft...of course unless we can get nate clements, then my whole opinion changes

Thank you! Finally someone with some common sense around here!

FYI....Leonard little is the same guy who killed a woman while he was driving drunk...then a few years later he got picked up again for a DUI...I'm not sure if he beat the second rap, but this surely does not sound like a "Gibbs Redskin"....IMO, anyone who kills someone driving drunk and then gets another dui arrest deserves to be shot.

Gaines would be a nice pickup.

That's not true....
We're only band fron DAY 1
and can have anyone not picked after it's over

Lance Briggs will likely be available at LB, too.

No way in hell the Bears let Briggs go....don't tease me like that....

Leonard little is getting a little up there in age for a DE. We need YOUNG talent at the position.

He's a killer - literally.

Plus, Jansen would tear him apart after the hit he put on Ramsey in '05. You know what they say about an elephant's memory.

Repeat offender? Sign him up!!

Talks seem to be at an impasse. Find it hard to believe the Bears would let him go, myself!

Edit: Here's an article where it mentions him turning down one contract offer and says him resigning is about "50/50". (Are we allowed to link to these things? I know some boards don't allow it.)
