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.

      Pass Rush

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      The year he had another edge rusher opposite him in Reddick, Reddick ended up having more sacks. Burns was good at rushing the passer here but he was taken out of plays far too often by a single TE or you'd never even known he was in the game at all.  The Rams offer was equivalent to prime Khalil Mack or a TJ Watt. Those guys single handedly took over games and stopped drives. I can't remember a game Burns ever did that. Do we wish we had the level of production hes giving right now? Of course. Do I think we'd have it here. No.  At the time, his production was on par with Reddick, not Parsons. Pay production and incentivise potential.

      Technically our guys are in the top 6 in sacks for rookies and Scourton is tied for the lead.

      That's why so many said he wasn't worth it here, there was only DB and it wasn't enough. If Burns is feasting then the other guys in NY are doing enough already, Burns is just collecting the stats. It's what he eas built for and is finally in his perfect space to succeed. Im not as in on the new guys yet. More is an understatement but the good news is that they are rookies.
