Also, RB Marion Barber does not expect to be back with the team, having already moved out of his apartment in Chicago.
Vaughn McClure is reporting that the Bears offered Bell a 2 year deal with about half a million guaranteed. That deal could still be on the table. What happens if a team signs Bell to an offer sheet? Dan Durkin, NFL blogger for 670 The score tweeted me the following;
nothing. they didn't tender him at the 2nd round level. they just get first right of refusal.
From Sean Jensen via the Sun Times;
For about $700,000 more, the Bears could have placed a second-rounder tender on Bell. That way, if another club signed Bell, they'd have to concede a second-round pick.
No team would give up a 2nd rounder for Bell, so that's not even a point worth arguing.
As for the team expected to part ways with Barber, Vaughn McClure says the Bears will likely try to add a speedy RB into the mix in the future. Stay tuned...
