Man, Idc how old he is... He's a smart player and will find ways to only help your team, not hurt it.

IIRC, the Bears were thinking about slowly working him into safety more last season after drafting Fuller. I also wouldn't worry about the injuries. It's not like he's frail, the injury last season was just one of those freak things for which there was no rhyme or reason.

I can totally see this and would absolutely love this move!

Im with proudiddy on this one.

Yall are serious about being afraid rivera eill play him? Seriously?

I have a lapse in memory. In riveras great defensive history, who did he sit on the bench that was sooo much better than said starter.

Players suck sometimes. He doesnt pick the roster

If charles tillman is still good, hes good folks. Why not play him. Stop pretending you know his exact role with the team or how good he will be. Plenty of DBs can play well into their thirties.

Even if he simply teaches our young CBs to strip the damn ball like he has over the years, its worth it.

it really does blow my mind

I'm down. Perfect fit actually. I love this article from February, http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2015/02/16/bears-veteran-charles-tillman-on-nfl-future-im-not-going-to-stop-til-im-dead/23519577/

He wants a ring. It WILL happen here soon and certainly CAN as soon as this year. He could help.

Great article, thanks for posting. Only thing that worries me is this:

 

 

One NFL executive, speaking on condition of anonymity for competitive reasons, said Tillman can still play in the right scheme but will have to sign an incentive-laden, "prove it" type of deal because of his age and recent medical history. And it sounds like that'd be OK by Tillman, who feels like he's had to prove it his entire career.

 

I don't want us signing him to a 1 year deal, only for him to play lights out like he did in 2012 and then walk like our 2013 signings did. Give him at least a 2 or 3 year deal with incentives and roster bonuses and I'll be happy.

      I love T-mac but where is the impact from this year's draft?

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
