Not surprising that we're interested in a couple BC guys with Vrabel's ties there.  There's some good names there in FA. Hope we can land one or two of the Defensive guys. What's the real deal with Kevin White? I really liked him coming out, but I know he's been riddled with injuries his whole career thus far. Was he really hurt all of this year too, or is it possible the Bears were just ready to move on and didn't have a spot for him anymore?

Kind of figured Zadarius Smith would be a target. Damn good fit as he already knows the defense. Not an elite pass-rusher but effective.

Absolutely. And I think he’ll be a hair cheaper than Preston Smith. If we could sign him and then draft Christian Wilkins I’d be in heaven.

Kevin White was a healthy scratch a lot this year but before this year he was riddled with injuries . I think the bears are just ready to cut ties with him

I'd see it as a late flyer on a guy. Former 1st round talent , seeing if there is any juice left.  Maybe someone liked him a lot coming out of college and want to give him a try.

That’s pretty much my take on it as well. Why not take a chance on a former 1st rounder. He’d also be cheap

Why is a huge bust like White welcomed with open arms and a guy like Sylvester Williams shunned by everyone? Less name recognition? I know the contract was bad, but that was far from the only reason the signing was disliked.

Both were busts, but Williams will have a better pro career than Kevin White.

If we can get him for nothing, go for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make the team.

I think Taywan is made for the slot and Tajae coming off the bench. I think Tyrell Williams would be nice as a WR2. Also, Golden Tate can be a nice stop gap for a few years. Would pass on Humphries cause I think Taywan is better made for slot and would pass on John Brown because of his injury history.

I actually like Sly too, Fwiw. 

I like White as a 2nd FA wr signing... Cheap... 1 year prove it type deal... Just to see if a change of scenery does something. Kid had incredible talent coming out, I wouldn't mind seeing if he could turn it around. 

CD84 amd Crowder/Tate as the 1 and slot... With Taylor, Sharpe, and White fighting for that other outside spot, with Jennings as the 5/return specialist. We could draft a rookie int the later rounds to develop and would round out the unit if we went 6.
