Bears sign Jay Ratliff

I like it. He's ready in 2-4 weeks. 4 time pro bowler. 1 year deal. If it doesn't pan out, no big deal.

Good. We definitely needed help on the D-Line. Maybe now we can move Wooton back to DE and never see Shea again.

I like it. Were not SB favs but were not dead yet and this shows we are not giving up. A+ move.

I hope he sits and pouts as much as he did in Dallas. Actually I hope this signing give Dallas the ammo to get some of his salary back. I liked Rat in Dallas and was hoping to see him play in the 4-3 vs the 3-4. I never felt he fit the 3-4 DT mold.

Briggs & Jay should be back by the time Ratliff is ready .
Just hope we can play .500 ball till then.
Now we need to replace Conte.

Anybody hear the terms of Ratliffs deal? besides just being 1 yr.

No terms, just know there is some legal matter concerning him in dallas. Dont know if its personal or team related but it led to his release. 2-4 weeks away, really dont know why he chose here instead of cincinatti or kc since they are both closer to making the super bowl, so you figure it was more money.

Do you think he's a guy who could step in and give a boost to a poor pass rush right away?

Heard somewhere, His best chance to start is here. Which swayed him this way.
