Bears agreed to terms with TE Michael Gaines, formerly of the Lions.

Gaines, 29, is being looked at as a blocking specialist by Chicago, though Desmond Clark will probably handle most of those duties. Gaines would move into the No. 2 TE role if Clark or Greg Olsen got hurt, but wouldn't see many targets. Gaines had 23 catches for 260 yards last season in Detroit.

I always liked him. Big body. Not so great mits. he and Cut don't seem like a good fit. Nto with that velocity. Maybe he has learned how to block.
that's what he did in detroit mostly helping with the running game. pretty much what he'll be doing in chicago.

he could prove to be a huge asset if he can get it right with a strong runner in Forte and a new passer with a lot of pressure on him.

Chicago may make some noise. At the very least they are making significant moves and then making some necessary secondary moves to support them.

they also picked up some 6'2 303lb lineman late in the draft that they are considering as a FB/TE/OG.

i'm glad we aren't going to have to face them next year unless it's in the playoffs. i'd rather be playing the vikings.

300lb TE wow that is just crazy to even picture.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
