Upon Further Review: A trade for Patriots guard Logan Mankins is a longshot.

Huge Bears fan.. Hope they get it done

I'm a Pats fan and that would be killer. Makes all the sense in the world we need D-Line help and you guys clearly need O-line help.

Here's to them hopefully getting it done.

Bears ownership already spent big $$ this past offseason. Can't see them opening up the wallet yet again.

Is this "Logan Mankins" a real person? Who is he?

Don't see it happening. I wish it would but I doubt it. Shefter even said it was just an idea that he thought could work for both sides, not that he thought it would happen. I really hope we can get rid of Mankins before the deadline but chances are he stays and reports week 10.

Bears need help on the o-line, Cutler is getting killed back there. The trade deadline is midnight tonight, so they better get going on it.

I highly doubt this could happen. I can't see Harris fitting into a form of the 3-4 and being happy. He's too lazy at the point most plays and other plays he's trying to sack the passer, giving up gap control. Mankins has been close to signing with the Patriots, but apparently not close enough.
It's a smart move for Chicago and a really risky one for NE. Frankly, the Bears need any line help they can get. They're terrible right now.

Not happening

Maybe they can persuade Jimbo Covert to come out of retirement.

Grits n' Gravy · 10-19-10, 03:02 PM

Not going to happen. Pats want a 1st round pick for him. A 4th and Harris' bad contract is not a good deal. Best guess is Mankins reports to NE by week 10. Pats could franchise or transisition him and then either work out a long term deal or trade him in offseason. The guy is a hell of a player.

Nomocino · 10-19-10, 03:21 PM

hope they do it got Forte on my Fantasy team

KingJIM · 10-19-10, 04:29 PM

Not going to happen. Mankins wants LT money and he is a Guard. Bears won't pay that.

Cutler is the base of CHI's problems so shoring up the line will be relatively ineffective. Cheers
