Legend. Guy was incredible in his prime. Will be missed.

doubtful we shelled out $3+ million on a camp body. I suppose the contract could be heavily incentive-based but I think he makes the 53. Doubt he even practices much in training camp and throughout pre-season.

1 year $3.05 million according to David Newton on Twitter.

Throw in Kalil, Olsen, CJ, Luke, and Cam and that is a very strong group of leaders both young and old.

Am I the only one thinking he will play some safety for us?

Why?

And yes I seem to remember that we did work out Star.

For what it's worth last off-season Coach Proehl traveled the country and worked out the best receivers while documenting the entire thing on Twitter as to where he was. He started doing the same thing this year but abruptly stopped after a week or two. I am wondering if the Panthers requested he stop.

Everything in that article is valid.

Yup been saying similar things about Strong since watching as many full game cut ups on him as possible. He isn't a fluid athlete. He runs poor routes. He is constantly failing to get separation and he always seems to have a corner draped all over him. I expect those things to continue at the next level. His athleticism pops when you look at his combine numbers, but it ends there for me. I was a huge fan of his early in the process but the more I watched the more I really wouldn't love the pick in the first round. He'll be an average #2 possession receiver and a decent red zone threat in the NFL and will likely always struggle to win vertically and will need to be more aggressive to win with corners draped all over him.

Hoping I wake up to news that he was signed with us tomorrow morning. I think he could play safety and corner depending on personnel packages. Invaluable in the locker room and I'd wager he is still a ball hawk and can make plays behind our front seven. After two years of injuries he's likely hungry and wants to prove he can still produce. What better place to do it than under his former coordinator Rivera?

@RapSheet: Former #Bears CB Charles “Peanut” Tillman is visiting the #Panthers tomorrow, source says. Ron Rivera’s guy from years back.

@ESPNChiBears: #Bears free agent CB Charles Tillman visited the #Panthers on Wednesday, sources tell me, @caplannfl & @DNewtonespn.

@DNewtonespn: Bears free agent cornerback Charles Tillman is in town making an official visit with the #Panthers, league sources told me. @ESPNChiBears: Should add that Tillman and #Panthers have not discussed a contract yet. Still in early stages. Useful veteran. Maybe could play some safety in some packages. Provides more veteran leadership for an otherwise young secondary. Ball-hawk that would excel behind our front seven. UPDATE: Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 7m 7 minutes ago And it’s official: #Panthers sign Charles Tillman to a one-year deal.

Original.

The Browns are desperate at WR. I doubt they even take phone calls and they run to the podium to get the selection in.

Mayock was on record the other day saying that Cooper has the highest floor while White has the highest ceiling. I like both of them and don't think a team could go wrong with either one.

Brandt, Cosell, and Mayock share the same sentiments about Perriman. He won't go top 10 most likely but he will be a first round pick. Mayock mentioned just the other day that he has Parker and Perriman about even for third best receiver in the draft. His word isn't gold but he knows more than the casual fan. Brandt and Cosell both believe the concerns over Perriman's hands are overblown.

There seems to be a lot of teams in the market for a WR early, including us. Raiders definitely need a true number one guy. The Jets are meeting with Cooper. St. Louis has other needs but Cooper or White could be BPA at ten. The Vikings may want to pair Teddy with DeVante Parker once again. The Saints may look to address the position after losing Stills and Graham. The Dolphins now need a true number one or could stand to pair another young receiver with Jarvis Landry. Then throw in teams like the Browns, Eagles, and Chiefs that could all make a case for taking a receiver in the first and things could get interesting on draft night. I personally see six WRs going in the first after immediate production from rookies at the position last year: Cooper, White, Parker, Perriman, DGB, and Strong. The good news for us sitting at 25 is that the position is relatively deep this year and some or even most of those teams may wait to address the position in the second or third rounds. Impossible to really make definitive statements at this point but it's fun to think about the possibilities.

As much as it would be ideal, I give Cooper less than a 1% chance of being on the board at 25. Is that what you're asking?

Tevin Coleman.

Too lazy.
