Chicago's moves
Big day for the Bears. First, they inked Brandon Manumaleuna to a deal. He was an under the radar player for the Rams, when Mike Martz ran the offense there. And he'll fit well with Martz running Chicago's offense, now. Then, they picked up Chester Taylor. Taylor is the perfect complimentary back for Matt Forte. Plus, if Forte isn't running well, they have a proven replacement. It was a move that strengthens their backfield, while weakening a division rival in Minnesota. Finally, they signed the big fish in the market in Julius Peppers. 40 million in guaranteed dollars is a lot of money, but with no picks in the first two rounds, the management team had to make a splash in free agency to improve their team. Now, they should focus on building their offensive line, which led to their woes in the running game. And they should try to move tight end Greg Olsen to another team, since he's reportedly unhappy with the lack of production from a receiving standpoint in Martz's offense. If they can land a two or possibly a three for him, they should consider the offer.
