Interesting trade, guy was a #4 pick with 12.5 sacks in 2 seasons, however from what I have seen of him he is a pretty one dimensional player, may end up being a pretty nice trade for the Bears if they can motivate him, although they sure are trying to win now (No picks in first 2 rounds of 2010 draft)

Do the Bears have any picks in the next draft?

Not in the first two rounds. They have mortgaged their future on Cutlers arm for immediate results.

Big risk to take IMO.

unexpected trade to be honest. Speaking of trades wondering whether there will be any significant moves out of Oakland as they have said they are willing to trade, think T Howard would look good at the Saints.

Pretty much an admission from Raheem and the Bucs team that they've given up on season 09. I guess Gaines Adams is officially a bust for them, though I wouldn't be surprised if he had a big career with the Bears.

I don’t believe what the Bears gave up for a franchise QB with 8 good years left in the league is too much, was it 3 draft picks?
We all know it’s extremely hard to find a franchise QB and when you get the chance to grab one with NFL experience plus a young one you have to take the chance.
As for the 2 picks given up for Adams this is more risky in my opinion.

Add them together and the Bears are out of draft day one 2010. Unless they splash out in free agency, they'll be limited to building without good draft picks.

Maybe Adams was trying to get outta Tampa so dropped his production. Being on a team with half a chance might motivate him.

Stupid trade by Buc's

Morris is proving to be a massive bust as far as coaching.

Nice guy, but rubbish coach.

Adam's has 12.5 sacks in 2 seasons and he is a bust? How many more do the rest of the Buc's team have?

I think Bears gave up a value pick as he's better than whatever you'd get in 2nd Round middle of the round anyway.

And they did well at the end of the draft picking up Johnny Knox this time around.

They only need an up and coming Tackle to replace Pace eventually in the next draft and an up and coming MLB to take over from Urlacher...not immediate solutions.

Also need some secondary help next season.

All of which there will be value deep in the draft.

apparently all raiders besides 5 are on the trading block, as it seems we are ready to write off this season and get some draft picks.

I'd love to have Richard Seymour at the Broncos. That would complete the puzzle for our defence. He would be well known to McDaniels but his asking price may be too high.

The Raiders will never improve until big Al kicks the bucket.

What is Tony Dungy doing these days?????? Maybe he wants to come 'home'???????

Morris has been rubbish, I still can't believe we let Chucky go to be honest, me thinks the Bucs top brass are ruing that decision.

We would never trade to a divisional rival, especially a player that is called Richard Seymour.

hahahahaha!!!

interesting trade, i think this might work out alright for the bears
