Football Bears land 2007 No. 4 pick Adams from Bucs

Gaines Adams-DL-Bears Oct. 16 - 8:45 pm et

Bears acquired DE Gaines Adams from the Buccaneers in exchange for what is believed to be a 2010 second-round draft pick.
While Bucs GM Mark Dominik mails in the season by dealing off his most gifted pass rusher and nearing insertion of an underclassman rookie QB, Bears GM Jerry Angelo is in the talent acquisition business. Trading first-day picks isn't advised, except when the return is a 26-year-old with dominating ability and a contract through 2012. Jim Bates, who's clearly lost his touch, couldn't get enough out of Adams in his first season as Bucs defensive coordinator. It's a good bet that Bears defensive line coach Rod Marinelli will.

Good trade, a top 5 pick for a 2nd rounder.

Just give away your players guys.

Jesus Christ. A 2nd rounder for a top 5 pick from 2 years ago? That's sick.

Holy shit.

Holy, ****ing, shit.

What a phenomenal trade for the Bears. Dude is 26, reasonably affordable (given that most of his bonus money should be paid out), and has had a solid start to his career. He'll thrive in the Windy City.

So that is now 2 top 5 players that have been traded for peanuts while we continue to sign scrubs for the right 53.

Supposedly, the Browns are shopping Quinn for a mid-late round pick. If I'm the Rams, why am I not on the phone right ****ing now?

Teams are so willing to just give up on talent they paid dearly for. The Browns essentially gave up a 1 and a 2 to get him.

Are you describing Adams or Hali? yeah yeah... Adams is taller....more talented...but very similar production and both are 26.

Gilbert was picked with the 68th pick

Caldwell was picked to be an immediate starter and hasn't started

Truth is...We will never know how Sanchez would do on this team. I wanted him, but that was when we had Croyle/Thigpen. I wasn't thrilled with the Cassel trade but I accepted it and support him as the future. Sure it'd be nice to have that 2nd round pick but Ive see some ok things from Cassel.

At this point Im not about to say a couple of late round offensive linemen and a handful 2010 prospects would make this a competitive team

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-16-2009, 07:09 PM

Given where that pick is gonna be, we probably could have offered our 2 and gotten back Adams and a 4 from the Bucs.

Of course, we'd probably have to install the 4-3 then...
