Interesting. Makes the draft a little more unpredictable if this goes through. We would most likely draft a DT but not necessarily in the first 2 rounds anymore.

3 sacks, 2 stuffs, and 11 hurries in only 311 snaps last season with NE pretty impressive(can't find any NE game film)

With all the talent this year maybe Collins makes it to our 3rd or 4th

Bears sign Hicks

Bears signed DE Akiem Hicks to a two-year contract.

He had a visit scheduled with the Lions, but never left the Windy City. Hicks, 26, was acquired by New England via trade from New Orleans last October and earned Pro Football Focus' No. 14 defensive tackle grade among 70 qualifiers, logging 23 tackles and three sacks. At 6-foot-5, 318, Hicks will give the Bears another big-bodied presence alongside NT Eddie Goldman (6'4/336) to shield new ILBs Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman from would-be blockers.

Dude was probably using the Lions as leverage to get a better contract with the Bears.

Sorry to see him go.

Like we were gonna sign a defensive starter.

LB Tahir, SS Bush, DT Walker and DT Ngata all expected to start. Might not be pretty, but they're starters.

I am OK with it. Tons of DT talent in this years draft. We can take 1 early and later now that we have some LBs on the team.

Back to back Thursday games in November.

Walker will dominate.
